Wow. First time since he gained power in oct 22.

That Sunk has made an announcement, he has public support for. Well done.

HumanPenguin, 11 hours ago

In power from 22 oct 22 till today.

And this is the first announcement he has made, that he actually has public support for.

HumanPenguin, 10 hours ago

If that’s true. Current odds are at 11/2. So may be worth you risking a few quid. Good luck

Your not alone. Even tory backbenchers were expecting autumn time.

Seems they think, the recent inflation news is the best chance they have. Especially given how desperate he is to claim the usual labour bad on econ. Dispite 14 years of failing to get it right.

HumanPenguin, 10 hours ago

Same situ. Never actually made a bet

It did surprise me they had the same odds on hung par.iment as tory win.

1/9 for a labour win.

So please campaign they seem pretty confident in labour majority.

Not to different here.

Its not so much about trust. Its more a case of if I have to suffer a dick in my arse. I d like some variety, And a rapest who at least still thinks he should try to convince me I asked for it.

Wow real optomism. I thought that was extinct on the left.

Yeah you may have heard the term. Parliment is sovereign. It literally means there is never a true lame duck.

While parliment is dissolved. And technically the MPs are no longer MPs. Government can act but only in a clear emergency. The act they can always make. Is to request the king to make temporary laws.

Its never happened since the restoration. But technically the point of our constitutional Monarchy is the king passes power back and forth when parliment is opened and devolved.

In the event russia attacked or something else between 30th May and the end of the election count. Likely 5th or 6th. Sunak can operate government as normal. But would ask the king to enact any change in law. And parliment would be opened soonest once everything is sorted.

Yeah not really. The day means nothing to the average brit. No event that happened then is important enough to raise a single eye brow. As another poster pointed out much of the world celebrated something similar on some day in a year.

Sorry if below seems like I am teaching granny to suck eggs. I assume you recognise much of what I am saying. I just think it is essential that this conversation is opened up to as many readers as possible.

The “target rate” is achieved by creating unemployment.

Agreed. Although other options exist. The main issue is, Corperations are so bent on the growth economy. That lack of growth means layoffs. There is no reason most companies cannot keep staff during higher borrowing times. And just use inflation adjustments to continue to function as is.

But the share price economy is not about company survival. But growth above inflation and punishing firms that fail this.

It is not a must. Only the result of the stupid expectation,of current capatalism.

And impossible eventually without some major changes in resource allocation and energy production.

At least impossible with the goals claimed by all western governments.

The only way companies can grow without increasing inflation. Is for others to lose. Or for new resources to be found.

Our capitalistic ideas where grown over 2 major periods. The land expansion economy of colonialism. Where resources where taken from New nations not able to value them competitively. One of those resources being labour.

Followed by the oil economy where some nations were again able to pull a valuable resource (reducing the need for labour) from other nations with less ability to gain value.

In both of those the people of the original source of resource lost out hugly (as a society) to support the growth of our economies.

Unless we have a new group to exploit. Or some way to gain resources with 0 loss.

( asteroid mining and solar power from space may make this a possibility but not definite without will)

The only people who can lose out to support the continued growth economy. Is our own people hired by stagnant or failing companies.

Pretty sure 2024 humanity will cut everything down. Before forrests get settled. The UK is genrally just to populated. Maybe dart moor etc where building is already not very practicle.

PS british have done a lot of shit. And shoold take the blame for much.

But the irish would have been just as likly to remove forest land as the brits if we were not involved.

Its not like conservation was a important topic for most europeens pre mid 1900s. And ireland free of British influence. Would have had the same expansion motives during the industrial revolution stage.

Followed by the totally unrelated article.

Note the language: “ANY of the following acts”.

Meaning a) would indicate any nation at war with a nation with a defined identity (most ).

Is technically guilty.

I am not questioning if Israel is. There actions are over the top whatever.

But that definition is extreamly broard in a world that dosenot ban defensive wars. Few would argue a single response on a nation that attacked yours is invalid.

Yet by that definition. Hamas committed genocide on Oct 7 and Israel repeated it with their first response.

Absolutely no violent attack on one nation from another. Dose not involve killing members of a nation ethnic or religious group. As that describes every one.

So seems like a law very open to being considered wrong and reinterpretation as the nation considers it.

HumanPenguin, 16 hours ago

Feeding anyone shrimp you have kept in you pants. Def needs adding to the genocide definition.

Under imposing measures intended to prevent birth. As you and anyone accepting them I Will def be single.

HumanPenguin, 14 hours ago

Giving it the opposite issue,

Thanks for updating me BTW.

But that then make it impossible to proove in any case where the commiter is not vocal…

IE if Israel says its self defence. Absolutly no one can proove their motive.

Allowing crap like the claims all folks objecting are just antisemitic. Cos lets face it. There history was one of the few cases where the nazis were open about plans.

HumanPenguin, 10 hours ago

Fair points.

HumanPenguin, 14 hours ago

Sounds like an easy plan. If all moderators are happy to move that way.

It basically just involves changing the desc. Of course keeping self identified as welcome and able to look for advice amd guidance.

You may notice my typing is crap. I’m visually impaired and on a tablet. Mostly I can fix things. But it takes me time.

To be clear. What he actually claims is.

Cut immigration by forcing disabled people. Who we can assume have already been found unfit for work. Or they would be forced to work under UC. To be reevaluated and forced to find jobs.

The things forgotten.

One

The current UC WCA is far from lenient. To be found limited capacity for work. Takes a pretty strong requirement.

And has nothing to do with PIP. So many on PIP are already working. Universal credit is for non working people. Disabled or not.

Two

I doubt they forgot this. They just hope we will.

But the figures the show prooving an increase in claims.

Compare a period where DWP was rejecting PIP claiments by at least 60% falsely. And was continually challenged and lost in court. To a period years later when the previously rejected cases are being added to the totals.

HumanPenguin, 1 day ago

what have you got to consider?

Cost. Austerity really means the department cannot afford to fight a case.

And you know GB will fund a legal complaint.

HumanPenguin, 1 day ago

You realise the reason ofcomm has no teeth.

Right wing party with almost 15 years of austerity. Create department without teeth to take right wing tv channel to court.

Not a coincidence.

You can. Most things have gui options.

But you quickly learn for somethings. The terminal is just easier.

If you ignore odd stuff. Most everyday stuff to maintain the system is available in a controlled panal like program. It varies based on distribution and windows manager. But the basic setup is there for most things.

Its when you want to do something creative it gets more complex. While most commands have gui apps. Most online guidance will just find the terminal an easy way to guide you.

HumanPenguin, 1 day ago

As a legally blind person also my brother.

DWP really is crappy. You ask for help filling thing in. They out right say they can’t.

You are literally forced to insist. My brother literally sat at the desk with his guide dog. And said I am not leaving untill I get help.

This was when moving him from DLA to PIP. When it first happened.

Disable people should not be forced to fight for their rights. By the same government responsible for enforcing the laws.

You are entirly correct many lack the energy and strength.

HumanPenguin, 1 day ago

DWP still fucks us though. Refusing to provide help with claims unless you insist. Takes ages to get things sorted with them keep saying. We are not allowed to fill the forms for you.

If you are not someone strong enough to stand up to them. They will fuck you over in the name of process. Saying you need to find someone to help you. PS do not do that. Make sure they get someone qualified.
