Years ago I might have said the same. The MS is utter guff now and has been for a while.

It isn’t better that they are giving a platform to fellow idiots.

Means testing a winter fuel payment so it’s not being used to put down deposits on next years cruise isn’t exactly “pitting workers against pensioners” is it? But then the Morningstar is half ill-researched waffle, and half conspiracy theory nonsense.

Thanks for being a conscientious smoker; I’m afraid you’re in a witheringly small minority. If someone drinking a pint could blow a potent cloud of second hand pint into my personal space, then I might agree there is an equivalence, but there isn’t.

Huh?

Why are you righting one of the most ardently left-wing places in the country off exactly?

Well the ratings are part of the evidence base used to justify CEO pay, which is why they are threatening this. Hard to say you personally deserve more money if the company has gone from 4-Star to 1-Star.

All. A truly barbaric proposal.

The humans they traded like political chips should all get to go to Braverman’s house and piss on her doormat.

You get to be a Prime Minister and your boarding school chum gets a helpful dossier for later use.

No, we don’t. We have a trickle of illegal immigrants and until this month a batshit plan to fly the ones that got caught to Rwanda if they tried to claim asylum.

The Sunflowers? They are a trans, NB and Women’s baseball team. Watch “A League of Their Own” and tell me that women’s baseball isn’t a protest in itself.

Coming on is part of the process I gather

The two guys responding to the “rip it down” chant are lucky the rigger that mounted that banner took his job seriously. Pulling a rolling projector screen down on your head is going to end you up in A&E.

It’s a pretty common misconception; especially because it makes a certain sense!

I think you may have misunderstood. Rolling stock means just the physical trains themselves. The franchises (one of the two major profit extraction points) will go. The rolling stock firms will still exist but after a time be negotiating with a unified British Rail with a unified plan to negotiate prices.

This is a point I hadn’t considered, and a good one at that.

I also considered that there is decent amounts of rolling stock that need modernisation, and a push to remove diesel locomotives from remaining routes; both might be opportunities for BR to buy their own stock, in place of rentals.

We’re one of the only places in the world with Privatised water, and we’re doing a dramatic reenactment of the case study of why it’s not a good idea.

I don’t defend the decision; but when it was enacted it did work; in exactly and only that specific circumstance, for an exceptionally short period of time. It offloaded a comparatively small bill to the private sector, in exchange for the monopolies; a terrible idea IMHO.

I liken it to a house move. If I must pay removal people, I can either pay them what they ask, or burn everything I own and save on the price of the movers. Burning everything might save me money during moving week, but after that one initial saving, I will be paying ungodly amounts to repurchase everything I burned.

Rishi wouldn’t put Truss or Boris there after the month they’ve had. May could get one, but I think that would anger a lot of Brexiteers who blame May for some of their woes.

Let’s fuck shit up is code for keep Rishi in power*.
