It's "funny" how, as a fairly casual observer of news these days, everything Brexit-related has clearly been of lesser importance in the media for many years straight now. For example this thing which apparently will gently caress everything up even harder from 1st October, so who's talking about it then? Less than a month to go, does anyone anywhere give a poo poo? The goddamn media is such cancer, geez Perhaps some speciality papers (FT maybe?) are actually writing about this poo poo, but apparently the rest of the nation will only find out after the fact

If the filter is literally under the tap, won't the washing machine and boiler and so on still get the leaded water?

brave of starmer to try to dictate the policy of the 2063 government so far in advance but seriously though... yeah no reason to trust the current labour with this (or anything else)

Convex posted:What the gently caress do you want cookery programme viewers to do about climate change? Literally anything at all would be a good start  But yeah I do get that it's, unsurprisingly, hard, also from a mental health point of view. Don't have any good answers. All the leadership figures such as government would have to start to genuinely care at all about any of that stuff, even a little bit, before there can be any hope for the masses to also start caring

NotJustANumber99 posted:thats a 6mm screw, not a no.12 (5.5mm) screw I'm far from an expert, but the way I solved this problem was, if the instructions say you need say 4 mm screws of 50 mm length (and plugs), I'd instead use 7 mm screws of 65 mm length or something like that which I was able to easily buy together with suitable plugs Overkill = best kill

goddamnedtwisto posted:https://twitter.com/KateOsborneMP/status/1438926394701094913 I don't understand how Keith hasn't just kicked every leftist MP out of the party on some bullshit excuse already. I mean, he certainly seems dumb enough to just do that and split the party etc; and that's what he wants isn't it? To get these people out, to get rid of them, right? Couldn't he just wait until Johnson's government brings out another "legalise rape by police" bill or similar, do a three-line whip to vote for it, and then actually, for real, sack everyone who votes against? He already had that chance didn't he!

goddamnedtwisto posted:If I believed Johnson had a political agenda rather than simply following the path of least resistance, I'd call it the Tory equivalent of Corbynism - a return to a hazily-defined but strongly-felt "traditional" Conservatism - the sort of flag-waving, throwing threepenny bits from the Bentley to the local tykes, "jolly hard workers if they have white leadership" Tory that everyone assumed Thatcher had obliterated, and it's having similarly discombobulating effects on Tory thinkers as Corbynism because they've gotten so used to the incredibly narrow parameters of post-1997 British politics. Hm, I don't get what this means. What "Tory thinkers" [sic]? What discombobulating effects? Didn't all the tories fall in line as soon as Johnson kicked the moderates (those who didn't vote for his insane hardest-ever Brexit) out of the party? I mean I guess those moderates still are alive, technically, but... who gives a poo poo?

goddamnedtwisto posted:All of the ones screaming that he's gone full Turbostalin because of the NI increase, even though pre-Thatcher Tories were forever tinkering with tax rates. Even Thatcher increased employee NI contributions multiple times as a stealthy tax rise to make the numbers look better (and possibly because it hosed over labour-intensive industries considerably more than it did the booming financial sector). Ah right ok. Tbh I've been assuming nobody gives a poo poo about that latest screaming either. When's the vote though? Might we see an actual rebellion? Obviously Starmer will three line whip for increasing the tax of the poorest which will cause it to pass anyway

blunt posted:When you licence the Royal Mail address database, you pay per query. My favourite thing about the official UK address database is that there are several versions of it So, assume your address changed at some point somehow. Depending on the web site you're ordering from, maybe they have your current address available in the "select from these" list, or maybe they only have an old address that doesn't work. Excitement! I've only met one or two web sites though which had a combination of 1) current address not available at all AND 2) no "enter address manually" option

Mine works down to about -15c below that I use electric radiators. My neighbour has one that will work down to -25c. The heat pump is not the problem. It's the type of housing that the UK has. Even new builds are not that well insulated. We have no gas but we have surplus electricity.

So what's the latest from the Labour conference then Did Keith introduce that "one Keith, one vote" plan? Did it pass? Did Wes Streeting or someone similar challenge him yet for the leadership? e: 79 - the number of votes Keith & his friends each have in Labour leadership elections, as opposed to everyone else who have 0.2 votes each

So how about those Brexit customs checks then? Do I remember correctly that currently the UK is not doing any customs checks at all for anything that is going from the UK to the EU... but that these checks will begin soon? Was it 1st of October by any chance that the UK-to-EU customs checks were going to begin? Or did they delay... or what was the date again? How's it gonna go, do you think (my guess is: lol, lmao)
