I'd say fuck'em, someone's got to take a stand against these corporate cunts. Set up a state run rival instead see how Goldman Sachs likes them apples. Better to die on your feet etc. Expect workers rights to be "watered down" anytime now, and Haigh to be moved to the department for culture media and sport. The most accurate depiction of politics I've ever seen is Carcetti in The Wire. He comes in full of drive and ideas, next thing you see him at a dinner party and it's all the usual cunts, property magnates and speculators. Then he's got a couple of wormtongue types in his ears, then it all goes to shit.

The most expensive places you’ve ever stayed, ate or drank

I've never paid for an expensive meal, it was a former newspaper life I had where tourist boards etc used to try and woo me, like the Man from Del Monte. -
I think they'll need to be coordinated at a macro level though, there was talk of 6G at some point where signals would be sent back and forth from a central hub. You wouldn't need each car to have sensors working perfectly, as the central computer would know where each one was, in theory it could coordinate traffic signals etc and the like too.

Driverless vehicles will only ever work once "smart cities" are a thing and we've all got chips in our cars which can be tracked by the centrel computer which drives the driverless vehicles, there's simply too many variables otherwise.

One thing I've learned about expensive shit is that it rarely translates to better quality. Good is good and shit is shit, and the price very rarely makes the difference. When I was up the Eiffel Tower (matron) I was absolutely fantasising about going to Hickories in West Kirby on the following Monday where I had a date planned with the Mrs. And it was indeed far nicer. Uncouth? Possibly, but correct also. -

Definitely depends where you go, like any big city, there's places where they see the tourists coming from miles away. I stupidly took some advice from some bird in work who'd gone with her fella and he must have been trying to impress her as it was all expensive. We went some place called pershing Square and paid about 50 dollars for two eggs beneficts which were "okay". After that we found a small diner in what looked like a business area where local staff were going and you could get a top breakfast for about seven dollars, had the whole stools and counter and pancakes thing on the go. -
Free speech and so forth. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2024/oct/12/x-twitter-jd-vance-leaked-file Donald Trump’s presidential campaign worked with X to prevent information about his running mate JD Vance from being posted on the social media platform, a move that resulted in the journalist who revealed the information being kicked off the site, according to reports.

We had two cakes and two coffees in Stockholm for £43. You expect a bit of that though. -

Some restaurant at the Eiffel Tower, had a nine course meal which was supposedly 600 euros a head and it was all shite, such as sliced cold pigeon. The breakfast at the hotel was 60 euros apparently and it was passable at best. -

The only forumite I've ever seen in real life was Woo chatting away outside Anfield years ago. I walked past on the way to the turnstiles. He didn't say anything to me, nor me to him. But we both knew that he'd made it, that he was happy. -
I think western economics has been on life support for decades. People can't afford things so they borrow the money, which implodes the economy, the answer is to let them borrow more, while also seizing what's left of their public assets and selling that too. Think about what happened after the credit crunch. Not only did nobody go to prison, in league with their allies in government they shifted all their financial burdens onto us. Took over our care homes and children's homes, extracted money then left them not fit for purpose. The high Street became a machine for squeezing every last drop of money out of people who were now broke. Cash for gold shop, cash converters, bookies. People can't afford houses so they rent and get perpetually fucked over to the point where they'll never afford one. They can't afford cars so they introduced the concept of lesse cars which are, you guessed it, going up in price every year. They fuck you, then they fuck you again, then they take you like an empty beer can and throw you over their shoulder. If you look at the modern British economy, the word "hussle" used to be a pejorative term, now it's part of the business and employment vernacular. There seems to be a lack of entrepreneurship/business ideology that's focused on doing anything remotely long term or constructive, more on grift and blagging. That comes from the top. Economies boom when ordinary folk have money and the confidence to spend it. If you have stable industries which pays people well and gives them a pensions you'll get a booming economy. What we've got now is sleight of hand, numbers on a sheet, low wage economy, a consumer economy where all the consumers are broke, and where all attempts to change the dynamic are killed at the source. It's going to have to hit rock bottom before it changes, I fear, but with a nation which has been turned into idiots by design, I suspect they'll follow people with the wrong answers.

I'd always planned to look up The Chimp and Skaro if I ever go to Oz. They don't know that yet. I'd be like this to my Mrs: -
Independent has turned on labour lately, they must have done something that spooky kgb twat isn't happy about.

Taylor Swift and so forth. The Tory MP Geoffrey Cox has been missing parliamentary votes and sitting days while working at his lucrative second job as a lawyer in Mauritius, the Guardian can reveal. The former attorney general, who has declared at least £500,000 in pay from his second job this year, was on the Indian Ocean island for at least three days in mid-September and missed two votes on cuts to the winter fuel allowance.

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.

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.
