Baroness Vere of Norbiton Minister of roads, buses, and places I was expecting someone so on the Rees Mogg end of scale of only seeing buses and never one one. To poke fun at. But looking at her wiki, the reality is funnier. She has failed upwards, third in elections, lead a EU campaign that failed. The fail streak continues today, front bench material!

namesake posted:My point was it doesn't actually stop the incident from happening and even video evidence existing outside of police hands doesn't really result in meaningful action against the police later on - Ian Tomlinson as an example, where the cop is filmed just lashing out at a passerby causing his death and there's years of defence of the cop, an acquittal and then a supposed change in procedure which changed nothing. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Death_of_Ian_Tomlinson Once they acquitted him, they slyly fired the cop from the Met, and then paid the family on the quiet to shut them up. Something you would definitely do if you knew your guy was innocent. All to keep the boy's in blue name untarnished.

therattle posted:They recently redid our local tennis courts at Finsbury Park and they are pretty solidly booked from 7am-8pm, and solidly booked during weekends. They also run tennis camps and after school lessons for kids. There is a real mix of people using the courts. There is a skate park right next door and a lot of space for football. Tennis can absolutely be a part of a council’s recreational offering. It becomes elitist when there are not decent reasonably priced (£3/hr off peak, £6/hr peak or floodlit) facilities available to the public. I used to live beside a school, and right beside their two outdoor free gravel tennis courts. 50 weeks of the year, nothing, nada, zilch. Even the school barely used it. Wimbledon fortnight, assholes shouting all day until dusk that it was in or out, that it was their turn, or climbing into our yards to get balls back. Hated tennis with a passion, it took over the TV all day, and it was outside so couldn't escape it. Still think its poo poo and won't watch it.

This pisses me off more than usual. We were trying to claim back £3000 of stamp duty on our old house to move my mum into a smaller one for her age. And we couldn't do so due to some rule change that we were not aware of until after it happened.

Payndz posted:The British Establishment is absolutely onside for Saudi Arabia no matter what horrific human rights abuses they commit and anti-Western fundamentalist causes they back, because the Saudis hate Iran as much as they do, and there's a ton of sweet, sweet arms deal money that can be wrung from that. Kieth is deeply committed above all else to being part of that Establishment and protecting its interests, as there'll be lots of lucrative speaking opportunities and a seat in the Lords at the end of it! Part of the Brexit plan I would argue was to allow the dodgy as poo poo money into the UK. Get in that oil money, get in that Russian oligarch money, and Jacob Rees Mogg would be happy as poo poo. Get those financial regulations down to where the Tories ride one big financial bubble for as long as they can, and gently caress the consequences as they will be rich.

I really wish I'd had the nous or the procedure to refer them to better help at the time That sucks. Near to where I live, a woman in Strabane NI won £27 million from the lottery, she was jobless and lived in one of the worst housing estates in the entire country (Ballycolman estate, drug dealer central basically). She decided to still live there which was a big mistake, and ended up being conned out of a lot of it. She died a few weeks ago, just after saying she had only £5 million of it left. Edit: She won it 8 years ago, so lost £2.75 million a year. loving hell.

Brendan Rodgers posted:A few months ago when I tried the Audible trial, it made me start wondering if I have some kind of auditory processing issue, or something like ADD, based on what I've seen other people describe those things as. Scientific ones are fine, but for story ones I am like that too. I think its because when you read you are conjuring up the actual space where the book is in, even the smells and lighting from scant few words. And you are making up the mental images and voices of the characters, when you hear someone elses voice instead it can be distracting. And if its one person doing all the voices, then nope, definitely going to be thinking of all the characters with the same face. I also start thinking how shoddy the recording is. Most don't account for room echo or space. Now I know its in sound booths and such, but I can't unsee that, even if you are pretending to be on a boat, space ship, or battlefield. I tried the Doctor Who audios, there is no big room 'echo' when they are in the Tardis for example, which is a major distraction.

Failed Imagineer posted:Yeah the EU are really looking like wimp-dick bureaucratic dweebs right now, responding to Johnson making GBS threads all over the agreement by...cutting 80% of NI border checks. But the damage to the UK has been done, and NI is further away from them as they ever have been in the last hundred years. The economic infrastructure has been strengthened over the last year between the outer-EU and Republic of Ireland, and with RoI and NI. And the Tories and Don't Understand Politics can't have their wall now without major major blowback. I would argue the EU 'won' this, Ireland is getting a poo poo more trade from the EU and will be able to send out more in return, and that won't be offset by ham sandwiches from Crewe being allowed to be sold in Belfast. happyhippy fucked around with this message at 12:25 on Oct 14, 2021 |

Failed Imagineer posted:All true! But y'know, it would be cool to see Britain face direct diplomatic consequences for any of the bullshit it's pulled in the past... millennium? It would be cathartic to see them locked up in stocks and pelted with rotten fruit. But we know they will end up in the Lords and continue making GBS threads up the UK for decades to come. But the UK will face consequences, but you won't know it directly probably. They are the sick man of the world now, not just europe, everyone knows they can't be trusted on whatever the UK says they will do. A lot of trade contracts will suddenly not be offered to them, or invites to things. The UK will be paying through the nose for a lot of things other countries will freely cheaply trade with each other. happyhippy fucked around with this message at 12:35 on Oct 14, 2021 |

jaete posted:I still find this idea quite incredible that the DUP actually for real wanted to have a hard border again between Ireland and NI. Is this a real thing? Are there, say, some interviews somewhere where DUP people say (or hint) that yes they actually want(ed) a hard border? Or is it one of those things that everyone knows but which cannot be said aloud? It's more 'evidence of absence' with the DUP silence on it. They said before the Brexit agreement they wanted to maintain the Common Travel Area NI has been under since 1922. Which can't happen now, with customs and trade. And they haven't said anything much more than that. They are very vocal they don't want the Irish Sea Border. They have been threatening to bring down the NI gov if its not removed. And the only other option is the hard border with Ireland, which they are silent on. So you can assume they want the hard border. As it benefits them if it limits the south in any way. happyhippy fucked around with this message at 13:40 on Oct 14, 2021 |

The Question IRL posted:Are we not making the mistake here of going "ah but when they say X, they really mean Y. Because that is how politics works." Also its not a million years ago when they were in total control of NI, and would love to go back to it. Sure not in the DUP name, but in the 50s/60s the electoral gerrymandering was still going on, the redistricting of areas to maintain future power was going on, the companies, and basically the money of the country. Most of the DUP Lords would be in their 20s at that time. https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/clips/zmfqhyc
