Gen-X remainer. I post a lot about politics. I’d like a world where I could post more about Perl and programming, but it’s been a while since my anger at Brexit and this UK government has left space for that. #remain #european #fbpe

It's just patriots (actual patriots) being patriotic.
Peter Thiel will be pissed.
You probably don’t know this but the US Supreme Court is to decide whether to ban gay marriage across the USA.

Verdict on 7th November.

Shocking implications for not only the US but for the free world.

LGBTQ rights are being eroded.

They are reaching a level of competence that only a party run by Corbyn can achieve.
So how would this work in practice? Is that the initial years investment? What about grandfathering rules and after the first year? What if the 5k grows faster than the rest? Do we need to rebalance? How about just stay out of peoples finances and make the process as simple as possible.
It’s your party, and frankly, you can keep it.
Statement on recent events:

We apologise for a number of measures undertaken on this account recently including a mass blocking of accounts and disabling of replies. This was done by an individual activist with account access without consultation, and has now been addressed internally. (1/2)
So I assume they won’t be putting up council tax one penny and have a budget surplus. I think I can find £75,000 in savings they could be making if not.
I’m sure that extra 140Bn of GDP would have gone a long way
Just think, if we hadn’t brexited, we probably wouldn’t be talking about tax rises and budget holes now.
They’re all so arrogant as to assume because they won big last time they will continue to do so next time.

The key take from the election is that ‘anyone but Reform’ is effective. Just not for those parties aping Reform.
The greatest thing about a new phone is 100W fast charging. It’s a total game changer

I’d rather we had PR than FPTP even if that means 35% of the seats end up reform. As then at least 65% aren’t reform.

Any party sticking with FPTP is just voting for continuation of the vote corruption because it works for them.
Let it go bankrupt. Then take it into public ownership. What are the bond holders going to do? Dig the pipes out of the ground?
A water company that’s dumping sewage in the sea on a regular basis shouldn’t be paying bonuses and dividends. If that means it’s uninvestable then perhaps it shouldn’t be a for profit public company then.
Govt publishes England water companies' league of sewage dumping and pollution .

Worst since 2011. 9 companies collectively received 19 out of possible 36 stars.

Thames Water the lowest rating of 1. Seven firms score only 2.

No fines on execs. No exec prosecuted. Dividends paid. Customers fleeced

Plenty of shelves to put the nuclear secrets on
If this was England, someone from the council would come along and require them to rebuild the demolished building brick by brick back to exactly how it was before they demolished it
AS USUAL, CRIMINAL CORRUPT TRUMP IS LYING about past Presidents wanting a Ballroom at the White House; there's NOT a single President who's EVER proposed such, save him. Nor would ANY past President condone tearing down the entire historic East Wing for DJT'S WASTEFUL, GOLD-CLADEN GAUDY MONSTROSITY!
Entire East Wing expected to be demolished as soon as this weekend, sources say
The White House is expected to demolish the entire East Wing to allow for construction of President Trump’s ballroom, sources familiar with the project told ABC News.

To be fair, most aunts are cool. So being called one is probably a nice complement

the year is 2030. the white house remains half demolished because president trump refused to pay construction workers and musk gutted government spending. two thieves sneak into the white house using a truck mounted ladder and steal the constitution
