The tories just rebranded the minimum wage as a living wage without increasing it to the living wage, because they know voters are idiots and will fall for it.

Lol that's fired up an extremely long-ago memory of getting into a fight (a "proper" after-school-in-the-park-with-people-shouting-fight fight) with the kid who sat next to me in primary school. The teacher asked for examples of what might happen at a GP surgery and I said "surgery" because I wasn't actually sure what the word meant, just that it was something medical, but the teacher didn't hear me. So the kid next to me shouted it out as loud as he could at the next lull and the teacher chuckled and said that wasn't what the word meant (although to this day I *still* don't know why we use the same word for "place you go to talk to someone" and "someone cutting you up") but it was a good try, and the kid reckoned I'd done it deliberately to make him look stupid.

That kid is now a RtB landlord who funded his first purchases with the money he made as a Java developer in the dotcom boom.

I looked it up because an American was nonplussed by the term and it's apparently because you're meant to get to sit down with your MP like when you visit your GP and ask questions to diagnose your concerns. Literally analogising a visit to the doctor but with your MP.

The motive could really be anything at this point. The guy who attacked that Lib Dem MP back in the Blair years and hacked his assistant to death with a katana did it because he thought they were part of 'a conspiracy between Cheltenham council and Lloyds TSB of which he was the victim'.

In the US when people get upset they just go shoot up grocery stores. I guess in the UK they do it better?

In all seriousness how could someone get close enough to knife a dude like that? I would think there'd be lots of public security at any event where a politician is at and getting close enough to knife someone enough to kill them would presumably be difficult.

Nah many local MPs meet with their constituents freely. My local MP will often have a stall outside the supermarket or in the town centre to let people bend his ear about local issues.

Today was the 55th anniversary of the Aberfan disaster when 116 children and 28 adults were killed when a coal-mining spoil heap slipped and engulfed the Pantglas Junior School just as morning registers were being taken. I was 6 at the time and attended a tiny Welsh primary school. We had visited parents' friends in the town just a few weeks before. A year or so later, we moved to a mining town. Our house was on the side of one coal tip, and my junior school across the valley on the side of another coal tip.




Oh yeah my mum said that this happened when she was a young'un and had no concept of how far Aberfan was from Bedford and was terrified it was gonna happen to her next.
