I had a quick dive into the nazi dead bird site, and it seems like putting Shapps in charge of the MOD was the final straw for a lot of them.

I often keep an eye on my main feed, but I don't often deep dive and read comments from gammonites. I did in this instance.

I hope that explanation helps :allears:

I try to always try to ask people who use woke as a pejorative to define the word. I find it hugely entertaining watching them fail.

There are supposedly court buildings, police stations and other public buildings that are also at risk. Does anyone know if this type of concrete was also used in housing?

So apparently there are homes made with this stuff. But nobody knows how many, as there's no record of it

https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2023/09/01/crumbling-concrete-threatens-hospitals-homes-schools/

quote:

Property experts are concerned that RAAC concrete has been used in residential buildings � particularly council houses.

In the three and a half decades after the end of the Second World War, local authorities and housing associations built 4.4 million social homes at an average of more than 126,000 a year, according to the homeless charity Shelter.

RAAC concrete was a cheap and readily available material at the time.

Owing to the way homes were historically built � using a mixture of different types of concrete � it is difficult for surveyors to immediately identify at-risk buildings.

The new plan is to send the kids down the mines so that they can lift themselves out of poverty. Nearly 100% of all under ten year olds are currently unemployed.

Sunak refused to fully fund repairs of England�s crumbling schools, says ex-official

Rishi Sunak refused to properly fund a school rebuilding programme when he was chancellor, despite officials presenting evidence that there was �a critical risk to life� from crumbling concrete panels, the Department for Education�s former head civil servant has said.

After the department told Sunak�s Treasury that there was a need to rebuild 300 to 400 schools a year in England, he gave funding for only 100, which was then halved to 50, said Jonathan Slater, the permanent secretary of the department from 2016 to 2020.

At least I have no semblance of hope at the next election, so that's something. Having hope during the 2019 election nearly destroyed me, so this is probably a good thing.

Nitrous oxide: Laughing gas to be illegal by end of year

Laughing gas will be categorised as a class C drug and made illegal by the end of the year, the UK government has announced.

...

The government initially announced its plan to ban nitrous oxide earlier this year as part of a plan to tackle anti-social behaviour, but on Tuesday set out new details of the law change.

It said those found in unlawful possession of the drug could face up to two years in prison or an unlimited fine, with up to 14 years for supply or production.

However, there will be exemptions for legitimate uses of nitrous oxide, for example in medical or catering industries. The gas is commonly used as a painkiller and for producing whipped cream in cooking.

...

The government's decision to make possession a crime goes against recommendations from the Advisory Council on the Misuse of Drugs, which advised against new laws to ban nitrous oxide.

It said a ban would be disproportionate with the amount of harm linked to the gas.

And last week health experts also warned the government against a ban, saying it could stop users seeking medical help.

Yet more drugs policy that goes against evidence and logic...

Yeah, ignore the clickbait text with that vid, as it's not exactly a secret what she and the other cunts did.

I was just amazed that she was up on a pedestal like that and drunkenly boasting about what she did with pride.
