Can anyone point me towards any concrete examples of the EHRA definition of antisemitism being a big pile of poo poo used to suppress left wing free speech/criticism of Israel (apart from the obvious), ideally with sources, or criticism of it by Jewish groups, that sort of thing? Need it for a thing

I'm on Octopus but can't find a referral code - do you not get one if you're on a fixed tariff?

If you go to your dashboard and scroll down, it says "refer your friends" and then there's a link with some random words eg big-blue-elephant (I made that up, it's not mine!).
Only word of caution, it does doxx your real first name (but not your surname).

I'm on a fixed tariff. I guess if you can't find one, maybe you've been on the tariff longer than they've had the referral thing? I fixed mine in October.

Nope, and I fixed mine in Sept. But I was with Co-op Energy originally, Octopus took them over, so maybe I'm in some weird legacy limbo.

narrator voice &c

I swear to God when my daughter starts school if I ever hear of a single police officer setting foot onsite I will absolutely lose my poo poo. If literally anything that ever happens within a school becomes a criminal matter rather than a welfare/safeguarding matter, you have already Done hosed Up, bigly, and need to fix that gently caress up before treating literal children like criminals.

This is unfair

The married ones are even worse, the single ones at least don't beat their partners

Nah, the single ones beat their partners instead of beating their spouses.

Thread, I need your help. I think I have just watched Johnny Cash singing 'Ghost Riders in the sky' on the Muppet Show. Have I had a stroke? If I'm going to to go, this seems oddly appropriate.

We had a record with him on singing "I'm Being Swallowed By A Boa Constrictor" when I was little. Johnny Cash gave no shits at all. :rock:

yeah it'll absolutely vary from one cat to the next and depending on the circumstances involved, I was probably too generalising in my original post

Yeah, I once rented a first floor flat and moved in with 2 cats who were used to garden access. The younger lad couldn't have given less of a poo poo but the older girl spent most of her time at the back window trying to scrabble her way out.

They'll let you know their opinions quick enough...

Ed: and they were both garden users when they had the opportunity, it was just one wasn't bothered either way and the other definitely was.

I mean I live in Ilford, broadly speaking, it's not exactly posh round here either ;p

I'm Woolwich-adjacent, so not so much posh or un-posh as crammed with Army leftovers and remnants of Empire. Every bloody street and quite a few houses named for battles, battleships and/or military twats.

Some very nice Nepalis and Sikhs around though.

That's the problem with wealth concentration; there's not enough rich people around for the rest of us to get more than a mouthful.

"Mankind does not strive for happiness; only the English do" may have been the wrongest thing that Nietzsche said.

IDK, a hefty number of us seem to be made very happy by toffs making GBS threads on us from a great height and telling us it's a windfall, so...

We're going to have to change all the signpost distances from km to miles.

That'll put a dent in the unemployment figures.

Though of course it'll be farmed out to some rich Tory benefactor's shell company with the actual work done by poor sods on zero-hours contracts who have to change 72 signs per hour to avoid financial penalties.

I'll buy that for a farthing!

Found an excellent thread on Twitter regarding historical metric hate and how it's tied to nationalism (including a truly amazing anti-metric anthem from the 19th century involving the lines "Let every Saxon sing / A pint's a pound the world round / Till all the earth shall ring")
