Beeb article concludes that she will stay.  My issue is not putting up fuel duty.  

Not looking at the YouTube vids, someone will have to summarise.  Are they as toxic as GB news, all woke this, snowflake the other?

Signs of unhinged minds 

No, signs of sense and scrutiny of "leaders" not knowing the impact of what they have done, so much so that every citizen in the UK will suffer financially as a result of an incompetent, incoherent, unhinged Govt that's impact is effecting every citizen in the UK. Where things were being turned around by the last lot, this lot has already compromised all that work in its first 120 days in power. You may not like it but that's the truth.  We are never going to agree and actually Reeves, Rayner and Starmer need to go, like yesterday.

All of the loons calling for overthrow of government or signing the petition to “call an election now!!!!”

same people who laughed at people like me when we suggested before triggering article 50 that maybe a pause for consideration on the back of momentous decision would be wise 

“enemies of the people” we were. Even tho we were entirely democratic and sensible as there was no way to reverse that Brexit shambles so another poll was wise 

yet an entirely regular general election, something that can be reversed in 4 years, is driving people like jazzer demented even tho Labour won a landslide. poor jaz can’t even wait a few years to vote again 

Sephiroth, meaning of.

"There was one SOLDIER named Sephiroth, who was better than the rest, but when he found out about the terrible experiments that made him, he began to hate Shinra. And then, over time, he began to hate everything."

"Ha, ha, ha... my sadness? What do I have to be sad about? I am the chosen one. I have been chosen to be the leader of this Planet. I have orders to take this planet back from you stupid people for the Cetra. What am I supposed to be sad about?"

Jazzer appears to have correctly deduced the origin of my username.  It’s from a long running Japanese RPG series

I used to be seanmacgabhann

then straferjack

now sephiroth

but what - and I mean this well - the f*** does this have to do with anything

im going to suggest, like everything in jazzer’s life, it has no connection with anything but he continues to pluck at random strings to try and connect to… oh I dunno 

Young people who refuse to work to lose benefits - minister

Young people who refuse to work will face having their benefits cut, the work and pensions secretary has said.

Liz Kendall told the BBC the government will offer young people the opportunity to "earn or learn" under new proposals to be unveiled on Tuesday.

The concept of Rachel Reeves being deposed from power soon may well have some validity. 

There is an online pertition that I was sent this afternoon calling for a new general election based on "I believe the current Labour Government have gone back on the promises they laid out in the lead up to the last election." 

Thos afternoon it had 750,000 signatures now at 10pm on Sunday evening it had over 1.6 million signatures. 

Whilst it has no hope, if I was Kier I would be questioning why so many people seem to be up in arms.

 

The point is Seph,  that if I was in charge of the government, even if it has no hope, it would be making me wonder why people were signing . Especially if it gets much bigger. 

Who knows, maybe there will be a reshuffle at the top.

Labour have moved to the right aping Tory words.  Thought you'd like this

If I were in govt and chose to investigate why people were signing (if they are people not bots ) then I would read forums like this and conclude that the people most likely to sign this petition are:

a) never going to vote for Labour anyway

b) more than a little bit unstable and posting random links from far right YouTube sites

there have always been people like this in the country and now they have a way to express it - in no way should it deflect a government or represent majority of people 

Thankfully Sephiroth,  you aren't in charge because if you were, like Captain Kier, you too would be ignoring the warning signs and carry on steering the ship into an iceberg.

Trying to dismiss nearly 2 million people, all of whom had to verify their email address, as "a bit unstable" is low even for you.

Face the facts, it's not anti labour rethoric , it's a genuine concern that the government are making poor decisions for the economy and country.  

  • Agree 1

oh I'm sure all the concerned citizens were launching petitions when unelected Truss crashed the  economy and her party picked another leader - all without facing the electorate

 

The notion this is democracy in action and not anti-labour rhetoric is laughable 

 

PS bots can create and verify email addresses

"Trying to dismiss nearly 2 million people, all of whom had to verify their email address, as "a bit unstable" is low even for you."

 

an election was just held -  and there will be another one in a few years. objectively, signing a petition like this is more than a bit unstable behaviour. That's objective fact - it's not "low"

If Starmer gets ousted by his own party and Labour select someone else to take over (Corbyn!) without facing the electorate then yeah sure - that would be reasonable grounds  for expecting an election

But that isn't going to happen any time soon - no matter how many YouTube videos people watch

 

even for me

    • The step means Love Dulwich is not disabled friendly though they went to help someone on  crutches up the step last time we were there  much prefer it as a Turkish than café but maybe not for this group   The noise level might be an issue as it’s all hard surfaces though I don’t recall it being noisy. check out Olivelli the menu has a good range  though it’s not the best Italian you can get. There’s also a step up into Maria’s - much smaller but you need to negotiate the step and door at the same time. Olivelli has more room and if I remember right the toilets are on the ground floor. A consideration if steps are an issue The Lordship might be an option. Noise is not usually an issue. We’ve enjoyed various meals there. The ladies toilets are on the same floor as the tables (the gents may be upstairs). The staff are always friendly
    • It’s about chains, and the ethos of family run business versus unhealthy competition

    • But all those examples sell a wide variety of things,  and mostly they are well spread out along Lordship Lane. These two shops both sell one very specific thing, albeit in different flavours, and are just across the road from each other. I don't think you can compare the distribution of shops in Roman times to the distribution of shops in Lordship Lane in the twenty first century. Well, you can, but it doesn't feel very appropriate. Haa anybody asked the first shop how they feel? Are they happy about the "healthy competition" ?
