How the gently caress do they have gig economy track workers? Surely you need actual loving training to work on a rail line?

You get training, which you ignore whenever it creates time constraints, but it's the standard off-payroll work setup that ir35 governs, which I guess counts as gig economy work in a way?

My sister's partner does it, and having just turned 30 and playing a few sports (and also golf) at the weekends, has the worst cough I've ever heard. My nan sounded better than he does right before she died of lung cancer. PPE wastes time, you see, and wasted time means bad metrics means not getting out on the rota

gently caress my hip problem isn't gonna go away and I'm gonna need a replacement one day. For now got my walking stick and painkillers.

Am I disabled? I forgot to ask the consultant, gonna ask my GP that literal question I guess.

Local CAB are saying they don't have the resources to take on new clients or however they refer to them. How can i get help in filling out a PIP form. Or maybe disability allowance? But I don't know which I am.

Yeah you're protected under the equalities act, any requirement for mobility aids counts, and anything you need painkillers for will almost always count (you're judged on whether there's impairment without any kind of support, and untreated chronic pain will impair the speed and safety you perform tasks at). You'll still want to speak to your GP and any involved specialists to start collecting supporting evidence for your conditions.

Currently the dla/pip/attendance breakdown is almost always under 16/working age/pension age, there are exceptions but those are mostly just about being under devolved government, if you've not claimed before I don't think there are other relevant ones.

As for who can do it, I usually think it's best to have a trusted family member, partner or friend who you don't mind feeling vulnerable around and is comfortable with tedious beurocratic shite. The scoring system isn't the part that's unfair, it's the questions themselves that are misleading, and mostly irrelevant to the actual underlying scoring. It's just a slog for anyone to spend ages writing about all the stuff they couldn't do without support, in a very rigid format, all so the government agrees to eventually pay for some of it.



E; thanks KC I could only find the posts where I was yelling about Nazis having read the DWP fibromyalgia guidance.

The stuff I quoted in there is from an application that has now been back a while - my friend was found not fit for work related activity (so bonus uc pay and she got to tell her creepy work coach to leave her alone) and med/high on daily living/mobility components of pip, without the DWP putting up a fight at all. I'm still not sure if it's written up well enough to be usable for other people but the method definitely seems to make it harder for them to play silly buggers.

Weren’t there rumours that the Danish Submarine murderer was a goon?

Rumours? His sub and rocket construction threads are in the goldmine somewhere.

It’s worth noting that inflation is not a single problem that has a multitude of equally relevant solutions. How to deal with it entirely depends on what’s causing it, if it’s just greedy grocery stores then yeah a price cap would work, but if it’s legitimate supply chain issues, then you end up pushing people out of business and reducing competition in the sector, and will have achieved nothing.

At any rate, I’m not that familiar with why inflation is so bad in the UK, I suspect a lot of it is legitimate supply chain issues due to Ukraine such as energy, food, and the shitshow that is Brexit. On top of that, people really do have too much debt, like more debt than they’ve had relative to income in decades. Like I get that there was no choice, but I’d just like to see in future these poo poo banks not offering ridiculous amounts of credit without any thought, and the government actually doing something about the housing crisis, like idk actually building houses for once that people can live in.

The UK is far less affected by the Ukraine war than any European country I can think of. Germany was massively impacted by the US detonating their primary gas supply but they'd spent six months prepping for the extremely obvious consequences and shrugged it off. The UK lost maybe 5% of imports in those sectors, and if the Saudis are laundering affected fossil fuels as accused then there's absolutely no demand issue.

We responded to a Brexit-inflicted driver shortage by suspending all the laws that ban price collusion and instantly saw a massive and sustained rise in inflation that has no parallel to any neighbour state, it is entirely self inflicted greedflation

I think it's fantastic that, not only did huw edwards donate muscle to a young trans man's bottom surgery, but that he sent pics of the choicest cuts to choose from, before sending the transphobe parents a turd wrapped in a welsh flag that was clearly labelled as such but, sadly for the parents, labelled exclusively in welsh

Heard the national dish in quebec is chips cheese and gravy so they're probably alright.

It's not cheese it's curd and it's the best junk food

There's a place in Cardiff that does loaded poutine inc vegan options and it's bangin, strongly recommend

Ah, you're right
Things are totally fine as they are.
There's no such thing as society, just do whatever you want.
Break into public parks and set up camp on rugby fields. Anyone with a problem with that is literally Hitler

While you're at it, might as well pick and choose which other parts of the social contract you want to apply to you.

this was the funniest burn so far and you did it to yourself
