It's frankly amazing that these two emotions can be reconciled long enough for anyone to find love.

I have found so many rat runs through estates. When the traffic is bad and you see cars veering off. I often have followed the cars that look like they are heading in my direction. I have never ended up on a stranger's drive way yet.

UK workers ‘should get day off’ if workplace is hotter than 30C

You can get air fed suits for toxic environments. I have seen these used in car manufacturing. From accounts of the lads there, they were very heavy to work with.

We sold a double strollor in the mid nineties. I was at home alone when the girl turned up to buy it on her own. It was raining so she came in to look at it. I never really thought about it the time. I was just happy that something was not going to waste at the time.

Those Buggies cost an arm and a leg now.

No, I am saying that veering from the action of simply walking as you normally would is viewed with suspicion, because they have no idea where you have gone. Dropping further back and moving out of view, only to find you come back into view later on, can make somebody who feels threatened even more so. There is no correct action to alleviate the issue.

I should also that this is not a situation I find myself in these days. I don't work shifts anymore, so rarely find that I am walking home in the dark. It was something that was quite common in my younger days. Mainly due to where I lived at the time and the fact I was not a car driver.

Senior Tories call for unity as Sunak battles to save Rwanda bill ahead of crunch vote

Jump

Syldon @feddit.uk 2y ago

~~He already knows the vote will pass.~~ This is just narrative to make it look like the Tories are unified and the infighting has stopped. The reality is that the factions, that were gunning for him, could not decide on who they wanted to replace him. This is nothing more than a stay until they can get themselves sorted out.

The ERG are pushing their version of a narrative by publicly stating that the bill should be pull for amendments. This is so they can say I told you so when it fails at a later date. There is nothing they can do to make the bill pass without breaking international laws or agreements. This specifically threatens the TCA with the EU. Who only happens to be our largest trading partner. When the bill gets to the Lords, they will reject it. It is not part of any manifesto they were voted in with.

Just don't put the pop corn away just yet.

I have seen a couple of girls looking stuck and helped them out. I made sure they took a picture of the reg and passed it on. To me it makes sense, increasing the chances of someone being found out makes them less likely to be a danger.

My pet hate is realising I am walking behind some girl who has started looking nervous. There is very little you can do to alleviate it. If you slow down it looks suspicious, and they don't want you near them so it is hard to walk past to get in front. It is a price most men face because of other people misgivings.

Annual report on education spending a ‘damning indictment of Government’s failure to invest’

Jump

Syldon @feddit.uk 2y ago

It is because funding prior to 2010 was drastically less than other areas. There is a need to let those deprived areas catch up.

The most deprived fifth of local authorities receive hourly resources that are 12% higher than areas in the most affluent fifth, after accounting for higher provider costs in London. This results from funding for deprivation, disability and additional language needs in the Early Years National Funding Formula, as well as the Early Years Pupil Premium and the Disability Access Fund.

Protesters say ‘obscene’ profits from ‘inhuman’ asylum housing conditions must end

I agree we should keep reminding people of what things these scum are up to. The last thing we need is complacency at the next GE. This is a problem that won't fix it self.

Pretty much been known for a while this. Tories will do what a Tory does. They do not care about the amount of asylum seekers enter the country. It is just a narrative to make those who are on the bottom feel better about the shit they are living with. The fact they can give contracts out to donors is just a bonus.

We got a good deal to make up for the failings that the Maastricht treaty dealt the UK. To be the Leader of the EU you had to be a member of the Euro and also a member of the Schengen area. This left the UK at a huge disadvantage. We would not be allowed back into the EU unless we accepted both those conditions. This would mean we are not at a disadvantage anymore. We would be joining as equal members. We could even see a UK official in charge of the EU.

No one said there is a conspiracy. The BBC has blatant bias issues. What do you think the Lineker was about and the subsequent resignation that followed it. Bloody hell even Emily Maitlis took the effort to diss the BBC when she left.

The answer is very simple, work with the EU. It is what we did before we left. The numbers have gone up since then, it is bloody obvious going it alone is not helping.

Court says Scottish gender reform block is legal

Jump

Syldon @feddit.uk 2y ago

Not really. There are guidelines for what devolved government can and cant make laws on. The judgement is that this Scottish legislation does not fall under them. SNP should propose the legislation change in the commons to be applicable across the whole UK, not just Scotland. They do have a considerable amount of MPs there. What is the point of having them if they only want to make changes in Scotland.

As for what the DUP is up to, this is purely party politics on the Tory side. The DUP is very much aligned with the Tory party. The Tories should be calling for a new election in Ireland. But it has to be recognised that Sinn Fein did exactly the same thing in 2017-2020. This is not how they should be working for their constituents. This is down to how the UK government applies pressure. Both parties need to find alternatives way to voice their disapproval over matters. This is not how democracies are run, this is pure blackmail and nothing else.

First off this is not just the covid inquiry as a whole. This is Johnson, the main protagonist behind the Covid enquiry and the most damaging subject of that enquiry. The guy who was responsible for the decision making behind faults of the enquiry. He is also a buffoon who cannot hide from his mistakes. Wanting to keep him specifically out of the limelight is beneficial to the perception of how the Tories are ran.

I see you do not mention the issues that Sunak is facing. Sunak is an impending change of government. The same government that imposed those events that led to that lady's demise. You would think this is immensely more noteworthy than an individual's plight.

And yes there is coverage of the inquiry. That was part of the funding for the inquiry. It is meant to be public. But like all things political there is a bandwidth to what the public look at. That bandwidth is dictating by media coverage and how much is pushed front and centre. My point was that the BBC is sadly lacking in pushing events front and centre that are considered damaging to the Tory party. Even the title of the subject created by the OP is stating that this is OTT for the subject matter at hand.

Didn't see it mentioned in the wiki. When the middle finger was gaining popularity, during the 80's in my circles, using the middle finger folded in half was a thing mentioned. I guess with the description in the wiki that makes sense as it infers that the person being insult has a tiny dick. I remember someone mentioning it was a Greek insult, but never knew it had a history. TIL.

Now I get spammed by a hundred Greeks telling me they have never heard of it. :) In my defence, we had no internet when I was young. There was no way to check on BS Vs fact.

The BBC likes to tow the government line. Sunak has his MPs snapping at his heals and Johnson has been giving evidence with the covid inquiry. Anything to take the eye off the ball. Any other time and this would not even get a mention because it actually shames the government. Just not as badly as the other instances I mentioned.

Russian spies targeting UK MPs and media with ‘cyber interference’ | Politics

Jump

Syldon @feddit.uk 2y ago

Johnson told the Electoral commission not to investigate Russian interference in the Brexit vote. Johnson who had top clearance on all of the UK security policies. The same guy who gave his security detail the slip so he could go party with FSB agents shortly after a NATO meeting regarding the Russians poisoning UK citizens. The Tory party machine gave a Lord the title of Lord of Siberia along with access to the house.

I am not very good with dot to dot, I wonder where the issue may be coming from?
