Politics, yep, checks out.

Of course if Clapton hadn’t voted for the joke candidate the first time around they wouldn’t be in this position.

Don’t worry the algae will return because they’ve learnt nothing.

Yeah they sent me an email to basically say no. The randomised list has apparently put me too far down so now I’m not going to get one.

No time frame or anything just no.

Yeah it’s not helped by the fact that there’s no real consensus in climate science about what will happen. I’ve seen models that run from global desertification to an ice age.

They want it to go out as tax so they can then claim a bunch more on top of their existing charitable donations.

You don’t pay tax on charitable donations, and it’s a good way to hord off some money if you don’t want to pay tax on it, at least until such time as you can relocate your money to a less taxing nation, but there is a limit to how much you can tax exempt in a year. For normal people this limit is irrelevant because it far exceeds the amount of money they would ever get in a year let alone amount they would be able to give as charitable donations.

If there was a millionaire tax they could pay that and essentially offset the tax they pay by reducing their charitable donations. They would end up in exactly the same position as they currently are, but society would be slightly less pissed off with them. All to their benefit.

The only millionaires and billionaires that don’t want this other ones that are doing weird dodgy tax things so they don’t pay anything. Most of the wealthy 1% do actually pay their fair share of tax (although it isn’t high enough) because it’s so little money to them that it’s not worth fighting about it. Likes of Elon Musk a special breed of narcissist who actually put more effort into not paying tax in its worth.

He got 46% of the vote with multiple none right wing candidates turn out 58%.

He must have pissed off at least a few of of his former voters by now. Plus this is amusing so turn out will be higher.

Is not outside the realm possibility he could lose this. If he wins the investigation is back on because no matter what he says resigning and reapplying has no effect on the investigation, so that’s a shallow victory.

The absolute best outcome here would be that Farage loses. But a good second place would be he wins but at the cost of losing the Manchester mayor election because of reallocated resources / scandal of all this happening.

I love how they are now acting as if count bin face is a real political threat.

He’s a comedian in a mask you idiot, no one’s funding him. It actually doesn’t cost a lot of money to stand in an election, the expensive bit is advertising. But Reform doing that for him by having Nigel act like a giant baby.

I wish it was 20C it’s 37 here and it’s unbearable. It definitely is hot, of course it’s not hot everywhere.

It’s not inaccurate per se to say global warming because on a planetary level that is what’s happening. The planet is getting hotter. But it is going to be cool if it’s very windy or after a storm, that’s to be expected.

That’s an awful headline.

More buildings are now allowed to access funding for the removal of dangerous cladding

There I rewrote it so now it makes sense.

Book the product only got released a few weeks ago?

Well yeah if everyone’s using wall hacks in which case who cares?

The problem the other parties have if that Clapton voted for Farage. At least in Clacton there is some appetite for what reform or pushing, obviously they are being sold on a lie but that’s not important.

Farage has obviously done his homework and concluded that there is still support for him in Clacton. So given the outcome of this election is a foregone conclusion, and is basically just a media circus, isn’t the better option simply not to engage. If the people of Clacton have already spoken, and said they don’t want to be represented by the conservatives, or labour, or the greens, or the liberal democrats, they want to be represented by reform, what is the point in relitigating that?

What will be meaningful is if he is recalled, that will indicate to the parties that there is some appetite in Clapton for change. Farage just announcing that he’s resigning for his own personal reasons doesn’t indicate a desire for change on behalf of the constituents.

Everyone hates working for American companies when they try and push American customer service onto anyone else.

I don’t want to be told thank you for calling the company, I’m calling because there’s a problem because I want something not to have a chat. It’s so cringe-worthy.

The reason that IT often gets lumped with this stuff is because if you leave it to anybody else they do it wrong especially logistics.

Everyone except the IT department is now banned from ordering new IT equipment because they’ll order a bunch of laptops and then act all surprised when this huge pallet of devices arrives as if they didn’t just order one. So then it just sits in the entrance lobby the days on end until someone from IT comes and opens the pallet and takes the laptops upstairs. If they do that with new pens that’s fine, no one’s going to steal them.

It’ll be worse than smart watches that tell you that you’ve been sat down for too long.

Yeah I’ve been sat down for too long, I’m at work you idiot device.

Oh that’s useful. I’ve often wondered what my current emotion is, I’m so glad technology has been created to help me with this issue.

Now I’m going to know if I’m currently happy or not. Of course I haven’t got the technology yet so I’m not sure how I feel about this. I’ll let you know.

So essentially means not being a conservative?

I suspect most people on business accounts and they can’t really mess with businesses as much as customers

Yeah I know that, the place with all the mountains and the koalas. Australasia
