  1. I think the fundamental problem is the west is run by money markets. They set the rules, they literally decide what's black and what's white.

     

    The credit crunch was essentially the markets 'choosing' to label bad debt as good debt.

     

    If they want to allow you to do something - such as spend vast quantities of cash rebuilding the country - they can,  they just rebrand/relabel it. 

     

    If they don't want you to, they won't. Sounds like Reeves is attempting some sort of jiggery pokery along those lines but there's only so far it'll be allowed to go.

     

    It's obvious 'they' want us on the bones of our arse and just getting by, and the only parties allowed in are those that will toe the line. 

     

    That's why it's easy for the Lib Dems, Reform, SNP and the likes to stand on the sidelines telling everyrone what they'd do if only they were given a shot, but they wouldn't/couldn't.

     

    Until the system goes, in the States first I imagine, we're perma fucked. 

     

    That being said, it's beyond dispute that Labour are held to a much higher standard. This Taylor Swift stuff is absolute bollocks of the highest order.

    Buy her a block of driving lessons for Christmas.

     

    Driving would actually help her job wise and also take the strain off you.

     

    She'd never do it mate, she's failed her test three times before she met me and it's borderline ptsd.

    Has she tried to go for a class based teaching job with some leadership responsibility (subject lead etc) rather than straight into a senior leadership role? The fact that she was out of permanent work for a while may be counting against her and alot of the senior jobs go to staff already at the school anyway. Once she has a permanent role, she can take on more responsibility then.

     

    And I can only echo what YR has said, try to look after yourself mate.

     

    I think that's the problem mate. She was a phase leader and curriculum head, she's had two interviews for deputy head jobs but not got them. She's a bit stuck though as she's too expensive now to just be a teacher, they'd tend to take on ECTs. 

     

    Yeah I'm becoming more mindful of the need to look after my own marbles. I'm good at spotting the warning signs now compared to when I was younger.

     

    Cheers both.

  4. Been feeling really drained lately due to the Mrs' situation.

     

    I posted about it a year ago, but essentially she was forced out of her school job by someone she thought was a friend. Him and a couple of others just turned on her, never seen anything like it, like something from a zombie film. The union shit on her too. 

     

    She was out of work for a while and is now doing long term supply work. She hates it though. She's been applying for senior leadership jobs (she used to be one) but has only had two bites out of about 10 applications.

     

    She takes every rejection to heart and beats herself up, and I'll respond by telling her how good she is and everything will be okay in the end. I'm starting to suspect she quite enjoys the nihilistic aspect of that kind of talk though and of me trying to cheer her up, possibly because her mum is quite cold, I honestly don't know.

     

    I'm knackered though, absolutely knackered. I'm frustrated as I can't fix the problem, but drained of constantly trying to keep her emotionally propped up. 

     

    Her job has always been a grind for me. She can't drive so I have to get up at the crack of dawn every day and drop her at work at half seven. Then I pick her up every night, we have tea then she's upstairs doing work until nine. Comes down for an hour then we're in bed for 10. We don't do anything on Sundays either as she's working all day upstairs. It's been that way for 10 years.

     

    With these job applications I've had to take her to walkarounds, interviews etc and then console her/cheer her up more often than not. 

     

    She's different to me, I've been turned down for loads of jobs but I just crack on, it's never impacted her life, but this is impacting mine. My blood pressure is high lately and my stomach is bad when I've been going to pick her up. She's always fed up with the day she's had, now and again she cries.

     

    I just want her to be happy but am powerless. Me personally I'd get out of teaching if i was her, from hers and the experiences of other people I know, they're filled to the brim with absolutely vile people.

     

    It's what she's always wanted to do, but I suspect it's more the idea of it than the reality. 

     

    I'm too old, too tired, too fucking blind.

    Quite mad when there are women literally making that kind of dollar by just being in their underpants 

     

    I wonder if the Empeor Honorius watching Kerry Katona making a million pounds selling her Y fronts on the Internet truly realised the Roman Empire was about to fall. Perhaps this is the end of our civilisation? Turn the page?

    Self employment ruined by 'side hussle/grift culture'.

    Why don't you fuck off and die instead.

    I'm sure you said not too long ago that Badenoch was the wrong colour for the members. 

     

    I still think she is but they're clearly willing to countenance her for some reason. Sunak being Asian was undoubtedly the reason he lost to Truss first time.

    A new book by Bob Woodward (bloke who looks a bit like Robert Redford) says that Trump secretly sent Covid tests to his good pal and kingmaker Vladimir Putin during the Pandemic when American people were dying due to a shortage of tests in USA under the understanding that "nobody must ever find out".

     

    Guilty or not guilty...?

    He probably paid him for them - I'm not even joking. 

  9. The Tory 'diversity' shit always baffled me. My mum cried when Thatcher got back in, I still remember it now - there's was no 'sisters doing it for themselves' in the house that day let me tell you. 

     

    Liz Truss, what an example to women everywhere. 

     

    Wonder how many Asian people got their heads stoved in as a result of Braverman's rhetoric? Treble figures at least would be my guess. 

     

    Fuck that.

    So why are you going on about Tory members won’t vote for a black person then?

     

    Is it just because you wanted to shoehorn a Lethal Weapon 2 quote in?

     

    Never said the Tory members, they're clearly supportive, I mean the Pandora's Box of racist cunts she's hoping to appeal to who're currently voting for reform and smashing up bus stops and what not. 

     

    Braverman never quite got that either. She seemed to think a knuckle dragger would let her off because she's supposedly a Budhist, to them she is - and always will be - not 'really' British.

     

    I suspect these people, including Badenoch do know that though, they just have no other source of votes left to them in wider society cept cranks, climate change deniers, flat earthers, 15 minute city haters and racists. What a time to be alive.

  11. As a fanbase we always think we own people. Henderson to Saudi, Bascombe to NOTW (not Barrett to the Times though that was okay). 

     

    People have the right to earn a living however they choose as long as they're not importing vast quantities of Heroin and/or killing people.

     

    Not our manager any more, not my business.
