Tell me about it.


6 months on JSA is pretty crippling. And if you live at home.... forget getting any extra help.


If only I could speak fluent French! Sacrebleu!

Oh for fuck?s sake! http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/health/8094515.stm


What?s the point of going to a festival if you, ?Don't drink too much? don't take drugs, drink plenty of water, wear sun screen when hot and keep your feet dry??


And now you can?t crowd surf because apparently, ?Joanna Squires, aged 30, from Essex, was knocked over and sustained bruising to her head??





Balls.

Does this cunt actually expect us to buy this?

Or could have perhaps been entitled, Man in charge of excuses thinks you are an idiot.

Apparently it's illegal to be in possession of a 16 year old boy from Norwood.


This Is Local London


Also arrested were a 25-year-old financial insurance broker from Sheffield who was cautioned for possession of an offensive weapon and possession of cannabis and a 16-year-old boy from West Norwood.



Journalist from Southwark Life perhaps?

Loving current issue of New Scientist.

Willing to think that 'Falling out of love with Market Myths' and 'Are you a Believer' about climate change denial and subjective dissonance even among 'beleievers' won't be bedtime Reading for our own dear (and respected) Marmora* Man.


*yaaaayyy iPhone no longer insists on marmots

That's not all Ted - I found out that the Bossanova setting on a Yamaha P43ICY organ uses 10 times more power than the Rock setting.. so... you know what to do


Has anyone seen that freaky Daily Mail front page from yesterday I think where, apparently, people who have a patio are going to have the jackboot of the state repeatedly stamped in their face?


or something

that was my favourite line too annaj


Just remember peasants - just because you work 10 hours behind a beeping till in Sainsbury's and then possibly a cleaning job at night to make ends meet, that's NOTHING compared to the hell of the middle classes who had to read a story like this yesterday. possibly sitting on their patio. In the sun. Eating freshly baked croissants, gourmet coffee and freshly squeezed orange juice...


Us middle-classes - our life is unbearable I tell you

    • He seemed to me to be fully immersed in the Jeremy Corbyn ethos of the Labour Party. I dint think that (and self describing as a Marxist) would have helped much when Labour was changed under Starmer. There was a purge of people as far left as him that he was lucky to survive once in my opinion.   Stuff like this heavy endorsement of Momentum and Corbyn. It doesn't wash with a party that is in actual government.   https://labourlist.org/2020/04/forward-momentum-weve-launched-to-change-it-from-the-bottom-up/
    • I perceive the problem.simply as spending too much without first shoring up the economy.  If the government had reduced borrowing,  and as much as most hate the idea, reduced government deiartment spending (so called austerity) and not bowed to union pressures for pay rises, then encouraged businesses to grow, extra cash would have entered the coffers and at a later stage when the economy was in a stronger position rises in NI or taxes would have a lesser impact, but instead Reeves turned that on its head by increasing ni which has killed growth, increased prices and shimmied the economy.  What's worse is that the perceived 20 billion black hole has increased to 30 billion in a year. Is there a risk that after 5 years it could be as high as 70 billion ???     
    • That petition is bananas.   If you want a youth centre there pay the landlord the same rent a Londis would and build it yourself or shut the f**k up to be honest. Wasting our MPs time with this trivial nonsense is appalling. If your kids are still out at 1am on a school night you've got bigger problems than vapes and booze and hot sausage rolls. 
    • There used to be a better baker than Gail's on the same site immediately before Gail's pulled their financial muscle.
