Ok well you're still good as long as you're happy to press the button and share the agony of the lift mechanism as it impotently grasps at thin air, a caricature of its former self reduced to performing a facsimile of its important job as a mere circus act for the amusement of a child

lol what shite is that? The top rate of income tax is 45%, "In 1974 the cut was partly reversed and the top rate on earned income was raised to 83%...This applied to incomes over £20,000" That's over £213k in todays money.

They're selectively looking at only national insurance because it serves the interests of the capital class that own the newspapers to pretend that any tax rise of any kind is the worst thing to have ever happened in history

The NHS will have become the state, and the state will have become the NHS: Clement Attlee’s socialist government couldn’t have imagined just how powerful its Left-wing choice of a health funding and delivery mechanism would turn out to be at destroying conservatism and capitalism. [...]In time, Labour will promise to lower the £86,000 cap; eventually, it will be zero, and all care homes will be nationalised.

How can the king of the skull servants be a regular skull servant. If he was regular he wouldn't be king!

The Question IRL posted:

I would love to watch a program where someone actually follows through on people's disproportionate threats of violence over minor etiquette infractions.

Like a drama where this woman does brutally murder five men and explains that the reason she did it was because they were eating crisps on a train, as if it is the most blindingly obvious case of provocation ever.

Or someone stabbing a person to death in am office because they didn't put their phone on silent.

Maybe make it into an urban paranormal series.

That would genuinely be a lot of fun. A Boston Legal-style drama-comedy where a firm takes on - and somehow wins - these absurd cases of disproportionate revenge.

My boomer dad's revenge fantasy always involves a court case from the outset. Just two days ago my wife mentioned a problem she's having with one of her office's suppliers and my dad's response is

"just don't pay their bills. And when they take you to court, all that'll happen is, the judge will turn around [they always" turn around", I don't know why they're sitting backwards in the first place] and tell them to gently caress off"

My dad also thinks that if someone walked out in front of his car and he made no attempt at stopping, he'd get off scot free because they were asking for it. I keep telling him a jury probably wouldn't go for that but he seems convinced that his jury would be composed of 12 My Dads

And WFH has only made it better. I used to have to at least pretend I was working at the office, and confine my dossing to the computer. Now I can go to exercise, play videogames, go to the shops, pet the cat, get drunk, and I can do it all while being completely naked
