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?

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

    • I never said that. Saying I don’t like some of the rhetoric coming from the left doesn’t mean I approve of Farage et al saying that Afghans being brought here to protect their lives and thank them for their service means there is an incalculable threat to women.    Anything to score a cheap point. It’s pretty pathetic. 
    • To be fair we are as hosed as the majority of other countries post-Covid. The problem is Labour promised way too much and leant in on the we need change and we will deliver it and it was clear to anyone with a modicum of sense that no change was going to happen quickly and actually taking the reigns may have been a massive poison- chalice. As Labour are finding to their cost - there are no easy answers.  A wealth tax seems straightforward but look how Labour have U-turned on elements of non-dom - why? Because the super rich started leaving the country in their droves and whilst we all may want them to pay more tax they already pay a big chunk already and the government saw there was a problem.
    • You don’t think there are right-wing politicians fanning this with rhetoric? Really? 
    • No party is willing to tackle the "elephant in the room" which is the national debt. It is costing the country circa £100 Billion ANNUALLY to service that debt. That is more than the defence and education budgets. That debt burden has to be reduced which in reality means cost cuts. That means cutting back state pensions, index-linked pensions for civil servants and others such as police, NHS etc. It means cutting back on universal credit and cutting the number of people who are claiming benefits.
