I saw a thing (which I can no longer find) saying that the problem with Corbyn + Stop the War is that the map they were using in their backdrops shows Crimea as part of Russia, and therefore Corbyn/StW is cherry picking, completely disingenuous etc etc I am not very well versed on StW vs. general Melt ideology, but I was wondering what the UKMT view on this was. I am an uneducated leftist trying to be a better educated and more useful leftist.

The only thing I have to offer to the Russia / Ukraine chat is my Ukrainian colleague’s insights. He says that generally the mood is upbeat. At a national level most people seem to think it’s the usual sabre rattling and they’re unconcerned. They do not believe an invasion will take place. He says he has some friends who have moved west from Kyev. Others are unbothered. Anecdotes don’t equal evidence, I guess, but they’re closer to it all than I/we are.

Welp. Just got an email from OVO. Looks like my bill will go up by about 50% from April. An extra £600 quid/year by their calculation. Time to turn the central heating off and buy a dehumidifier.

Argos are also having a clearance of a very well reviewed compressor humidifier: https://www.argos.co.uk/product/8833578?clickSR=slp:term:dehumidifier:9:9:1

HopperUK posted:Thanks for this tipoff, I ordered one on my store card. I find that damp air makes me cough and feel miserable and we certainly do need to cut down our energy bills going forward so fingers crossed. The distribution model that Argos use means I can’t get one, ironically; not delivering to SW17. They’re delivering to my sister in Kent but of course she’s away for a bit so I guess after all that I’m not getting it. Can’t get it sent to her because she won’t be around to receive it. I’m grateful that my profession (UX) is well enough paid ‘thanks’ to the pandemic that I can just about afford the hike, but I’d hoped to soften the blow a bit. I imagine they’re going to get very very expensive soon between supply chain fuckups and chip shortages.

HopperUK posted:Not being funny but I live near St Albans if you want to get it sent to me and then come and get it. I can stick it in my living room or something. Thank you. I'm carless so it makes it tricky, but I'll chat to my wife and we'll see. Trains are a potential option. UK Goons Best Goons.
