And the media are making a big deal out of St George's Day - which usually, as far as I know, passes almost entirely without notice - and all because Flagshagger Keith felt the need to bore us with his EngNat rhetoric at the weekend.
Prick.

Serbia used to dominate Yugoslavia, and was very well off due to that. Nowadays, Croatia and Bosnia's economies are making bank, and Serbia is left in the doldrums because political dominance and siphoning wealth was all they had going. Which explains why Serbia fought so hard in the nineties to keep them under her thumb.

Anyway, we were talking about why hates the idea of and .

Job hunting tips for slackers:

Find a company that has just had an epic fuck up, the huger the better, because not only are they about to lose a shit tonne of employees, both due to dismissal and just through rats abandoning a resume poison firm, at all levels, but also very few top flight applicants are going to apply there. If the company is big enough to not be allowed to fail, you might even get a promotion out of it too.

@cstross There is a reason I say BoJo was the new Hitler. He too was a blunderer who pushed Britain into a massive crisis, and needed America to bail him out. Churchill pushed the UK into a war with Germany at least a year before we were ready with his rhetoric, and Churchill really didn't think we would go there, just was running his mouth for personal career advancement in the home newspapers.

Dear #Tory voters, or Scumbags if I may be informal, if you don't want a society filled with what you perceive as "jobsworths", then maybe don't create a society where being fired and facing unemployment is a fast track to permanent soul crushing poverty. Because if being unemployed is intolerable, people are not gonna put their jobs at risk to bend the rules for you.

You cannot have it both ways.
