lol when it started if you won the big prize you'd think "I'm rich!" Now you'd think "I can buy a mid-sized house!"

According to the BoE inflation calculator the prize should be �1,776,801.96 today. According to the Nationwide UK house price index the value should be �3,995,922!

Edit: I can't seem to find a convenient wage inflation calculator but I'm guessing it'd be something like ~2m. Can't be arsed to calculate it myself.

Most points already covered re: home buying / mortgage chat but here's my take to summarise anyway:

- If you need to borrow less than the AIP then that's a good thing, not a bad thing. There's no reason the bank would reject you purely because you wanted to borrow less money.
- If the bank values the property so much below your offer that it's disinclined to lend then you should probably reflect on whether this is actually a good price for you to be paying.
- It may seem like a hassle but things like surveyors are also for your own good. You don't want to be buying something that has serious issues that could cost you a lot of money to repair.
- As was already mentioned always try and have director phone numbers and write the names down of anyone you talked to. Don't be afraid to ask dumb questions about who someone is/their job in the process just so you're clear.
- Keep track of deadlines for parts of the process so you can keep prodding your solicitors to stop them from being slow. When your solicitor says they're waiting for their solicitor ask your solicitor to prod their solicitor. Solicitors are always loving procrastinating on everything ever.

Good luck and hopefully at the end of it all you'll have the home you want!

We can't stand for anyone denigrating Nazis, can we?

To denigrate means to criticise unfairly. So clearly what she's saying is that it's unfair on NAZIs to compare our democracy and the Tories to them. Err.

Guavanaut posted:

It seems to Hitler that the defining thing about NS is that it is German, which I suppose has some significance if you have those brainworms.

I wouldn't really thread the needle of any difference though since yeah he outright says "this is exactly like fascism, except with German characteristics and called something else."

And he wasn't the first or last (national syndicalism, national anarchism, national Bolshevism) to take something existing, slap 'national' on the front, and then just do fascism, so for convenience we can just call them all fascist as a shortcut for 'fascist, but really adamant that it's called something else (while praising fascism)'.

He uses the phrase "complete identity" so that explicitly states that these two things are in fact the same in his view in a way that goes beyond complete similarity.

that was mark reckless and he won by campaigning against himself and his leadership, it was hilarious

he could split his vote 52/48 and still win, his majority is 49% and 2019 was his worst result in a long time. There's absolutely no path for a win that doesn't involve the majority of labour voters sticking to the party and turning out for a rando they don't know anywhere near as well. I don't think for a second labour think they have a prayer, they're just setting up to call everyone in islington a bigot and make a shocked face

The Mark Reckless thing was funny because of the number of vox pops from randoms where they would declare that they were voting UKIP because they Tory guy hadn't done anything.

I think Corbyn could (and should) win in North Islington.

The Kate Forbes turns down Rural Affairs bit gets weirder

"BBC Scotland political editor Glenn Campbell said he understands that Ms Forbes felt the SNP's partnership agreement with the Scottish Greens would have "tied her hands and cost her dearly in her constituency"."

WHAT? She got 56% last time out, to the Tories 19.3%. On the list vote the Greens got 9.2% of the vote in her constituency And of the 9 council wards that make up Skye, Lochaber & Badenoch? 3 have Green councillors. I'd like to hope someone would challenger on the patent absurdity of this bollocks but alas, journalists are useless

Ah but being in a government job for the last 5 years didn't associate her with that agreement in any way of course. Only now because reasons

I'm okay with a lot of things being done against nazis that I wouldn't otherwise be okay with. Even though it sucks that the slave laborers were caught up in it, that's entirely the fault of the people who decided that it was acceptable to have slaves.

I can believe that without hero worshipping the RAF, blanket excusing all of their actions e.g. in colonies, or calling my dog a slur though. It probably harms any supposed anti-nazi morality to claim, as Hastings does, that the RAF fought for the right to turn dogs racist.

The 'slaves' were POWs. If they had been 1000 British POWs not Soviet POWs how do you think the UK population would've judged the success of the raids?

Private Speech posted:

The forced labourers weren't all POWs, POWs were only a small portion of the total.

Out of 7.6M total, i.e. about 15% POWs and the rest captured civilians of various kinds, mostly either politically inconvenient or 'racially impure', but sometimes just because they were young and about when the Germans stopped by (obviously does not apply to countries allied with Germany, except Slovakia because LMBO becoming a breakaway fash state wasn't enough to save them from being randomly taken off the street as labourers and sex slaves - then again it kindof did help them a bit, the quality of life was immeasurably better than in the Czech part, even if they had to go fight the soviets in Russia).

I was talking about the Dam Buster op specifically, the wikipedia entry states it was "mainly soviet" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Chastise).
