I am watching for my local MP endorsing someone, because he is 100% a lickspittle, always votes with the party, never pins his colours to the mast unless he knows it’s already a sure thing, politically expedient coward. If he comes out for one of the candidates, that’s as close to a lock as it gets.

Spangly A posted:he read Atlas Shrugged to his wife when they were dating What the actual gently caress? I thought the last few months had numbed me to the craziness of Tories, but this completely floored me. How could this possibly be a thing that happened?

Woah, this is like that moment in Fight Club when you find out that the narrator was Tyler Durden all along. I hope you are the uninhibited and free version of me, I’d hate to think that my boring life was someone else’s anarchist fantasy

Mourning Due posted:With the blackouts, and energy fees: I find myself lately thinking about businesses, as well. The Tories might allow homes to run out of power, because gently caress poor people, but they would never let businesses stop getting customers in. Consumption is the only thing we have left to turn the wheels of the economy. Expect coffee shops to have fusion generators up and running within fifteen minutes, free wi-fi and electricity to run laptops as long as you pay £20 for a coffee every ten minutes. A nation buzzing with caffeine won’t need to sleep, productivity will triple!

Peter from Surrey has written in to the BBC news feed: Get hosed Peter from Surrey “Overcommitted to borrowing” because houses now cost nine times annual income, compared to four times when mortgage rates were 15%, compared to two to three times when you likely bought your house Peter from Surrey. What a “gently caress you, got mine” twat

I think I need to stop checking this thread. I started looking into power banks, but then I stopped to ask myself what I would actually need to plug into one… And hit a blank. If the power cuts last for a few hours, I have enough books and board games to stave off boredom, I can just about manage on cold foods, or cook something beforehand if there’s enough warning, I have candles and torches for light, and blankets and duvets for heat. If the power cuts last for longer, I’ll be too busy fighting off the purge to care. Edit: poo poo, forgot about my son’s chameleon. Might be worth getting something small for her so she doesn’t die.

NotJustANumber99 posted:And they actually are kind of right, if you care about poppies. Poppies haven’t been about remembering the horrors of war for decades now, they are themselves a political symbol. That fucker on Twitter doesn’t care about dead people, he cares about glorifying the military industrial complex and promoting the idea that all British soldiers are heroes, erasing any nuance about the past in favour of jingoistic love for our brave boys.

kecske posted:Has anyone ever been to Arran? My wife's uncle bought a house there and invited us to go and visit. From the pictures it looks bleak as hell and I can't decide if that's in a good or bad way. The critical question that no-one has asked here is how well do you get on with your wife’s uncle? Because if you are staying in a house in Arran with him, depending on what the weather’s like, you may be spending a LOT of time with him, with not much to entertain you We try to go to different islands quite regularly with my mother-in-law, and I get on with her very well, but when the weather is really bad and you’ve been stuck indoors for a couple of days with nothing to do, things can get a little fraught

KM Scorchio posted:a six figure salary at 40 Is this like when Brexit and Trump didn’t cause racism, they just emboldened the racists who had previously been shamed into keeping their views silent? The Tories have gone full mask-off, gently caress the poor, gently caress anyone who isn’t already a millionaire, and now the people who earn six figures don’t feel the need to hide any more? If I earned six figures, I’d be very happy that I was rich now, and I’d sure as gently caress keep it to myself and not complain about how hard it is. I get that six figures isn’t wealthy but it still places your income above 96% of the UK population.

Rarity posted:You can but you probably also shouldn't bemoan your lot to people who struggle to afford food Edit: I don’t think there’s anything inherently wrong with you personally earning six-figures, I don’t know you, but it is incredibly tone deaf to Kramer into a thread to moan about how your relatively privileged position is really actually very hard indeed, and we’re all in the same boat. We’re not, some people are struggling to the point of having to make choices that no-one should be making in a civilised society. Yes, be angry at the system and the people who are profiting from exploiting labour, but maybe think about how difficult your situation really is before complaining? Double edit: like, you’re talking about mitigating tax impacts when some people are thinking about how to find somewhere warm to hang out because they can’t afford to heat their homes, read the loving room Scientastic fucked around with this message at 09:34 on Nov 19, 2022 |

learnincurve posted:it's ok to be middle class Assuming we accept the existence of a middle class, I am about the most firmly middle class it’s possible to be without going to a Steiner school or holidaying in a kibbutz, and I can confirm that middle class != Tory. Literally no-one in my family or extended family would ever consider voting Tory, and I know this because they are all extremely vocal about hating literally everything every Tory stands for, to the point of pontificating after a few drinks about compulsory euthanasia for anyone who ever even thought about voting Tory.

Not quite, you’re also betting on a named beneficiary living long enough to enjoy it. When I die, my wife will get my pension.

This is very much in keeping with the outrage at Just Stop Oil causing disruption. Protests should have no consequences for the protesters, and should have no impact on anyone else, and should effect no change.
