EvilHawk posted:I guess any sort of even vague criticism of Corbyn is still not allowed here. Cool. It'd be great if you could provide examples, because I myself am just a little bored with how often people seem to go "He was an antisemite and did continually do these things and no I'm not looking into it because the media can't fool me!" There are valid criticisms of Labour and Corbyn in particular. But the belief that something can't be created and spun by the press is not accurate to observable reality. EvilHawk posted:Fine, going back to lurk. Not particularly interested in having arguments about things that happened all morning. "These things happened". "Can you prove it". "I don't need to, you should know this already". Just, if you cover yourself in BBQ sauce when you walk into the lions den don't be surprised when the lion bites you.

Gods Bones. I think I can officially call time on the idea of Starmer being an intelligence agency asset. If he is MI5 is so loving angry at the moment.

I think that if you just did the opposite of what Starmer decided to do you'd have a pretty effective means of being a political savant.

Pistol_Pete posted:I'd never believe that the leadership response to these election losses would be doubling down on attacking the left but the evidence presented by this weekend indicates that yes, they absolutely are that stupid and shortsighted lol. The thing that boggles me is that they appear to be doing this to anyone left of like akehurst. If you are going to purge you need to do it one faction at a time. Instead this is just incompetent flailing.

Who is Paul Williams? Also, why is Mandelson still doing anything of note? It seems somewhat obvious that Labour may well lose again, and badly, in the near future.

It's just pathetic. The Labour Right have proven themselves even less capable than the left and are going to continue down this damnable pathway for as long as they can because they are, ultimately, feckless.

Rustybear posted:What she could have done in those situations is a different matter but I'm also not hugely impressed by some of the most powerful politicians in the country perennially claiming their hands are tied as is convenient. Must admit part of me is getting more and more irritated when people go "sorry we can't do [good thing] for [complex reason]" but "Oh we can always do [bad thing] because that's what we can do!" I'm starting to worry that seeing complexity as apriori bad is bad for me though.

Then what is your advice? What method is there for talking to people? Because this might be stuff we can agree on, but acknowledging that "I alone cannot do this and I don't think there is anyone coming to save us" isn't defeatist if it's an accurate read of a situation.

Brilladelphia posted:There are many roles in the civil service which are public facing, as my department is, and I can also confirm first hand that intelligence is by no means a limiting factor judging by many of my colleagues (also Bugman you come across not only as intelligent but also a really good person, I'd gladly have you on my team. Definitely consider applying if you find a role that sounds up your street, the civil service is great to work for in my experience) Thank you. What sort of roles are there in the civil service? And do any of them help folks? Currently in the heritage sector and... well things aren't looking too good for us at the moment. A good cat.

HopperUK posted:Missed this one somehow. Of course I don't care about my employer and the billionaire who bought us out a few years ago. I care about my immediate colleagues, and about me not getting yelled at by some middle-aged shitstain who thinks howling 'but you said it would be here on Tuesday' will somehow make me able to produce out-of-stock medication out of my arse. I care about getting the job done so the elderly, vulnerable people I supply the meds for don't end up with nothing. This sucks and is a way the company is taking advantage of our compassion but it's not easy to ignore. I'm so close to burnout. If I could survive without this loving job I would kick it into the sun. I'm sorry to hear this Hopper. Can't offer much advice, but sending hope!

I work at a cultural institution and we just re-opened and it is utterly kicking my rear end at the moment. I've had maybe 25 minutes to sit down throughout the entire day, running around making sure stuff is sorted, helping out and so on. I also found out that the reason a cafe on site is not open at the moment is because the outside contractor made a load of people redundant at the start of the pandemic before furlough was a thing and the stupid bastards haven't been able to rehire anyone. The fact that some of the management team seemed to support the company for doing this is very much sus to me.

Mr Owl posted:I can't help but shake the feeling that with covid meaning a load of workers went home and then brexit making it unappealing for people to come back, anyone trying to hire back up to full strength for hospitality is about to get a rude kick up the arse. Oh absolutely. The upcoming lack of staff is going to utterly gently caress the cafe. I feel bad for the workers still there, but gently caress the people running it. It does mean I now have a moral reason to not buy sandwiches from them at least.

It was also a lot of visiting sex workers. The Rakes progress shown above was meant to show "loosening moral virtue" or whatever the gently caress but sex work has been a major outgoing for the aristocracy for centuries.

Barry Shitpeas posted:Yeah basically what I was getting at was that the OP video sounds more natural and conversational because that's how he was performing it. The accent might be more authentic but it seems pretty unlikely that it would have actually performed like that originally. But this in turn is asking for authenticity by asking for the "original performance". We are never going to be able to reach that because the gulf of years kind of prevents it. Also, having done history and worked in customer service at a historic "attraction" I can tell you for nowt that an awful lot of people want their own views regurgitated to them like a baby bird screaming at mum.
