Lady Gaza posted:This is the truck/gun, seems a bit excessive Your neighbors most likely a historical reenactor. Depending on their licencing, the gun may even fire! They will only have back power blanks however, and most groups have a single armourer with the licence to make them up. So unless your neighbor is that guy, your most likely safe. We had a ferret armoured car parked on site at work for years. The owner bought it and hid it from his wife before getting found out. It's quite normal to see him driving around the area.

It may honestly have swayed a few MP's - it shows how hated the man is.

It's hopefully Labor realising the current tide is people voting against the Tories, not for them. Maybe they can replace him with someone with a few good policies and and charisma! Lol no, it will be Boris's mutant clone.

No Dignity posted:Calling an election whilst the opposition party is in the middle of a leadership election is one of those things so obviously rotten you'd think our unwritten constitution would have something to say about it Honestly, as most people would be voting against the Tories rather than for something, so it wouldn't make that much difference to the campaign. Kieth is basically a nothing man anyway.

Yeah, it's pretty much been admitted that they would only be able to replace the cleaners and folks who push the refreshements carts up and down - the key personel like points operators or anyone who needs any real training will not be replaceable. So there would be plenty of food on that train thats not moving anywhere.

So General election either late this year or early next? Whoever wins will want to get in on the new leader bounce, and while the lies of "only I can fix the mistakes of Boris Johnson" works. Any longer than six months and their own scandles start creeping in and people will see nothing has changed.

To be fair, that's the undemocratically elected elite, not the MPs. I'm going to vote for whoever can beat the Tories in my area in the next GE, which is looking Lib Dem. Are the lib dems good? No. Are they better than the Tories? Hell yes. Not voting for the lesser evil because it's not the no existant good option seems shortsighted to me.

Pistol_Pete posted:We're seeing this exact same argument over in the USA, between people who agree that the Dems are dogshit but that it's ultimately a choice between them or the Republicans and people who think that there's no point at all in voting for a "Things still get worse, just a bit more slowly" option and want to build something different. Dunno if this is just an Anglosphere thing or whether there's similar tensions in other Western nations too. My outlandish theory is we stave off revolution long enough for the US to collapse into civil war, and as we saw during the French and Communist revolutions we get good stuff to try and stop us from following. Things only really started going bad when the USSR collapsed and the government didn't have that external socal(ist) threat to keep them in line.

Angrymog posted:Also my broker actively contacted me when my first fixed term was up for renewal and helped me find the next one, so a good broker will not only be useful when you buy, but later down the line too. This, mine contacted me in april and pushed to get things set up for my September change - we got the mortgage locked in for 10 of the (now) remaining 11 years right before the first interest rise. So we pretty much don't need to worry about interest rates ever again. As an added bonus, as they took the mortage amount still outstanding in April, and the new one doesn't start until September, we have effectively built up 5 months of "free" payments, so we will be getting a huge chunk back which I can then overpay on the new mortgage streight away - by my calculations it will wipe out the debt that will be remaining by year 11. I would never have thought of any of that by myself!

Yeah, but they made a big step forward and doubled the power they got out of the test. they think they may even be able to break even with a larger plant (which they are now building). It's the holy grail of power though, we are pretty sure it can be done, but can't quite get there yet. Also science is slow, unless there's a war on.
