If you ever thought “Pete seems like a switched on guy who just gets on with stuff”, I have an assignment that I’m planning to complete in a day, and my to-do lists includes ticking off “open MS word”

Look lads your official statements are lovely stuff but “I’m not making Eurovision content but I’m going to review the songs” ain’t it

It’s a shitter. You can accept the voting reforms AND want punishment for former indiscretions.
Tying one to the other is an absolute dick move.

Lovely stuff.
Except you just need one “sore throat” to actually be an airway disaster and the whole “I’ve got to cover myself” mentality re-emerges.

I’m more excited about the aftermath, as fan content creators act like John Simpson in the middle of a war zone rather than calmly reporting the result of a vote of a song contest
The big question about the EBU meeting today is of course:
Will the press centre be serving Baileys?

And then not liking the answer.

What’s the worst question someone can ask after you tell them your profession? For linguists, it’s definitely “how many languages do you speak?”, but I’m curious what else is happening to the rest of y’all out there?!

The problem is by and large you’re appealing to a group of people who think:
Sick pay should be for “proper” sick, not “woke” mental health
“We didn’t have safe workplaces and I’m fine”
“Human rights get in the way”
I didn’t have a minimum wage, I got paid in coal…

If ReformUK get into government next time then we can kiss goodbye to:
Paid holidays
Sick pay
Safer working conditions
Human Rights
Workers Rights
Unions
NHS & healthcare
Social care
Minimum wage
Among many other things.
Every person who knows a Reformer should have the conversation!.
