This is the first time I’ve heard of this fake outrage. Literally no-one does this in any of the pubs I drink at.

Xeet pronounced “Sheeeet”

As in: Elon Musk’s changed the name of Twitter, Sheeeeeeeeeeeeeeet.

Maybe she doesn’t have enough money in her account 🤣😂🤣?

No but seriously I’m sure everyone that called for Farage the Barrage’s account to remain closed because he could go to another bank will be calling for the same here.

Can’t say I’ve used an in person ticket booth in years, decades maybe. They’re always shut anyway.

When I went to Japan on holiday there were staff members hovering around the ticket machines helping people if they needed it - and I did. Not a ticket office on sight. Why can they do it but we can’t? Dunno.

Well shit… maybe the ones I went to didn’t or I didn’t see them 😂.

Still, my experience was that I needed to use a machine I had no idea what I was doing some helpful staff member came over saw I was having issues had a chat to me for a minute and I was sorted. Wasn’t hard at all.

A group wants to form a new party to 'transform' politics after Keir Starmer's betrayal of the left (www.thecanary.co)

Transform Politics is the name of a new group looking to form a fresh left-wing party in the UK. It’s made up of individuals and pre-existing parties – and it’s launched its campaign with a flurry of interest on social media, as well as some criticism.

The opening sentence:

This is an era of crisis

🤣 Are we not able to say anything positive to inspire people to vote for your party? Doom and gloom sells I suppose?

mannycalavera,
@mannycalavera@feddit.uk avatar

I like my life, my friends, and my work and that is all in the UK. That’s super positive 😊.

Why not build on that rather than doom and gloom?

Did we need a FOI for this? I thought this was well known at the time?

That, unfortunately, is how both sides want it. Those pro EU and those anti, neither want to compromise. The papers simply provide them with kindling.

Is it fair to say that her views on the EU were more nuanced than your original comments suggested?

mannycalavera,
@mannycalavera@feddit.uk avatar

Is one not a superset of the other? They are related, no?

mannycalavera,
@mannycalavera@feddit.uk avatar

Is it possible to join one without the other? Can you join the EU, for example, without EEC membership?

mannycalavera,
@mannycalavera@feddit.uk avatar

So they are defacto the same? And probably Maggie’s views on it would have been more nuanced than you first suggested? Shed like the EEC bits not the others?

mannycalavera,
@mannycalavera@feddit.uk avatar

Who knows 🧐? I said her views on the EU rather than leave remain being more nuanced than you suggested originally which from your replies seems to back that idea up.

Anyway old biddy’s dead so we’ll never know 😂

They’re dead right. She’s absolutely pulling the piss here.

Even Wes Streeting (Labour Health Secretary) has said 35% is stupid. What are they going to do then?

mannycalavera, (edited )
@mannycalavera@feddit.uk avatar

Yes, and I have sympathy with that. But this is the reality. What they are demanding in pay rises is not sensible. The conservatives are telling them that, the independent pay board just told them that too, and Labour is telling them that.

At some point they have to realise this, no?

mannycalavera,
@mannycalavera@feddit.uk avatar

The independent pay review body (DDRB) isn’t actually independent (look at who decides the appointments and sets the constraints) and their advice has been ignored several times over the last decade.

I’ve heard this a number of times and I don’t agree with this take. Are we saying that their decisions are not independent? Their whole remit is to decide what is fair based on the constraints. Suddenly saying they have constraints is meaningless. They’ve come to a decision based on the situation at the time. As far as I know the government have accepted their recommendations in full this year.

The Conservatives have dug themselves a huge hole by failing to maintain public services

Yeah I don’t disagree with this. Past actions have come up a cropper. But that doesn’t justify a 35% pay rise.

As far as the doctors go, when is a good time for them to seek recourse? There never is one.

I don’t think anyone is saying they shouldn’t seek recourse. Who is saying that? People are just rightly questioning whether this is the right way to go about it? Here’s a starter for ten. What if they had said “In a cost of living crisis with high inflation we demand 15% increase and guaranteed increase in numbers of doctors plus extra paid for training yearly to help the burnout and an uplift in junior doctor’s hourly wages”. I don’t think people would have questioned that as a starting position but they’ve completely overshot here. It’s actually put people off supporting them.

I don’t see this going away any time soon. And all the while our economy suffers. Having good access to healthcare is part of what makes us competitive - it gets people back into the economy and active, directly or indirectly.

This is the real tragedy of it all.

Don't let your elderly relatives fall for scams

Chances are most of us here are pretty tech-savvy and can spot phishing scams a mile off, but the older generation who haven’t grown up with the internet are now having to use it and are an easy target for scammers. Check in with your family and friends to make sure Granddad isn’t sending money to someone claiming to be...

Sound advice. These scammers want rounding up and publicly flogged or something. Such cunts.

I’m so confused, I always assume Horner is double speaking and shit talking but I can’t quite figure out the angle here. Is it: “Go ahead and equalise the engines and fight amongst yourselves we have aero advantage anyway”?

mannycalavera,
@mannycalavera@feddit.uk avatar

This sounds so sensible that I am still shocked that Christian “It wasn’t me” Horner has said it 😃.

mannycalavera,
@mannycalavera@feddit.uk avatar

This makes the most sense to me. Never trust Horner.
