Guys I think you're being too harsh, I'm sure the next moron will get it right. They've been holding the competent ones in reserve for a moment like this, just like how Russia's yet to deploy its modern kit and trained soldiers.

At least they'll always have the politicians market, who can be relied upon to always have poppies to show how much they care. Maybe the British Legion or whoever it is could hire a strategic consultant (like me) to propose new revenue streams? More than one poppy = more respect for the war dead.

Coming from a place of absolute ignorance about the system, I can't get my head around how this would work.

This page has a spreadsheet of percentiles up to 2019-2020 tax year (which was only added in 2022, so seems a few years behind). I don't have friends who judge, but I am constantly conscious of not wanting to seem tactless since they're from a broad range of economic situations. Fortunately we're all British enough to not discuss our salaries, only my wife and my parents know.

I'm currently in a hard-fought battle to get a raise to as much as new starters on my team get paid (HR hosed up and put the salary in a job ad, which I saw and nobody else did) and move from the 95th to 96th percentile. I think my wife is 50th (also for a charity). It feels liberating to be able to discuss it with strangers (and god you cunts are strange).

Yet some silly tosser on jeremy vine who knows hes very privileged to earn 100k but, presumably unlike everyone else, he worked really hard for it and now hes questioning why because hes stuck paying more tax and he might have to go part time because he just cant bear the ghastly thought of paying more tax, but is prepared to earn less. With the number of loving U-turns in policy, who can even keep track of whether said tosser was referring to something Kwarteng said, comparing that with now.

Tarnop posted:The part time stuff suggests there's a very good chance this person doesn't understand marginal tax rates. Every job I've worked at I've had to explain to someone that no, moving into the 40% tax bracket doesn't mean that you now pay 40% tax on everything you earn I am not fortunate enough to have this problem myself, but I did hear a friend talking about there being a situation between something like £100-110k where you'd end up worse off than at £99k. I don't recall what it was, or know if it's accurate.

Ironically I had the opposite experience recently - had been seeing private physios on an off since March for a shoulder problem. Some self-financed, some via insurance from work. Saw about 5 different people at greatly varying levels of experience. It took 6 months to get an accurate diagnosis and appointments usually took around a week or two to book. I give up and think I'll try NHS, manage to get an appointment within two days, actually get a steroid injection during the appointment. Wish I hadn't wasted my time at the start since it might have been able to prevent it getting worse than it has.

forkboy84 posted:I agree that anti-semitism is treated differently. Anti-semitism is unacceptable racism and anti-black or anti-muslim/arab or anti-Indian or what have you are all essentially ignored by "polite society" as a bit of banter. Islamophobia is practically the state religion in this country & I don't see people getting kicked out of the Labour Party in hordes for it, despite plenty recorded examples of a casual Islamophobia in Labour circles. It's okay, if you remember the tories investigated themselves for islamophobia and found themselves guilty of nothing. So we're apparently good on that front.

No idea if it’s possible to make that pass on to future sales, I assume there’s a way out of it. I know gently caress all about the legal side but having just sold a leasehold home it sounds like exactly the sort of cuntery that can be accomplished that way.

Comrade Fakename posted:I've been hearing some chatter about electric blankets. Apparently they're very comfortable, warm (obviously) and most importantly, far cheaper to run than the heating. Anyone had any experience with them? There are different approaches - I think the 'intended' use is put them under the sheet and leave them there. An Airbnb we stayed at not long ago had this, but many of the cheaper ones you can feel the round wires in them. My wife just puts hers under the duvet to pre-warm the bed then usually takes it out when she gets in. Personally I don't like them. I'm the sort that wants a cold room and a reasonably thin duvet, but I could see that changing if I wasn't in a position to keep this place heated. Edit: Actually there was one time I was loving glad of an electric blanket - when I woke up with a fever after my covid booster. It was a godsend.
