You say that mate, but it’s a slippery slope, one big win and ye’ll be in the buy to let market with a couple of doer uppers before you know it. Superb, those first few series were fucking brilliant, shits all over Seinfeld. Might have to give them another watch.

Fucking junior Tory, speculating champs the lot of yers should be ashamed of yer selves.

Aye but he’s a casual sniper, so cards are being marked.

Why do people do this shit? I think it used to be a thing to maybe stick up the kids uniform for starting school, or a kids christening outfit. but why the fuck does a grown man, lay out and share the clothes that he will be wearing, that again, would probably look a lot better on a dinner lady. a peach hat for fucks sake The bio: “living the casuals life I dreamed of” really mate, dressing up like yer missus and not getting anywhere near a fucking footy match for christ knows how long. I hate adi fam Twitter gobshites.

Sister in law had this done a few years back, she had undiagnosed UC, and only found out when surgery was the only option. rough time, but she is in a good way these days. best of luck with it, not a massive fan of invasive surgery - ask for loads of the good stuff pain wise. Eh? You must be hanging about with a bad sort mate. I do have a plumbers USB scope with a fucking long lead if yer can convince yer missus to give yer a hand. Non-returnable, mind you.

Nicking that one

Seen this happen at a few festivals, never one with Simone Migs in the crowd though. Got sent this one this morning, along with quite a few on the auld fella with his 100 laps.

Nice one, start critiquing the echo, if they take yer on ye’ll be employed for years with the shite they put out.

Considering the CDC head has stated they have no idea how many doses are in hand, Donny jr and Kushner hav probably paid off Rudi in vaccine

Hunting Ghislaine by John Sweeney is also decent. Sweeney does my head in at times (when he talks politics), but he’s a good investigative journo

Politics, Theory, Other is prettty good from a serious aspect, and Alexei Sayle’s is good from both comedic and serious viewpoint.

Deffo wait and see, but it’s a new hope - coincidentally the name of a mining company a mate used to work for, so seems apt

Shit dude, you are dripping sarcasm all over the place! To be fair to Uncle Joe, some of the news on what he plans to do in the next week or 2 do appear to be genuinely positive, the private prisons is a big one that I think ODB Clinton brought in. from CNN Politics: President Joe Biden is finalizing 17 executive moves just hours after his inauguration Wednesday, moving faster and more aggressively to dismantle his predecessor's legacy than any other modern president. Biden is signing a flurry of executive orders, memorandums and directives to agencies, his first steps to address the coronavirus pandemic and undo some of former President Donald Trump's signature policies. "There's no time to start like today," Biden told reporters in the Oval Office as he began signing a stack of orders and memoranda. "I'm going to start by keeping the promises I made to the American people." With the stroke of a pen, Biden has halted funding for the construction of Trump's border wall, reversed his travel ban targeting largely Muslim countries and embraced progressive policies on the environment and diversity that Trump spent four years blocking. Biden also reversed several of Trump's attempts to withdraw from international agreements, beginning the process of rejoining the Paris climate accord and halting the United States' departure from the World Health Organization -- where Dr. Anthony Fauci, the government's top infectious disease expert, will lead the US delegation. His first action was to impose a mask mandate on federal property, a break in approach to dealing with the pandemic from Trump, who repeatedly downplayed the virus. Biden also installed a coronavirus response coordinator to oversee the White House's efforts to distribute vaccines and medical supplies. Press secretary Jen Psaki and other top Biden officials had told reporters on the eve of his inauguration that the first-day actions are only part of what will be a series of moves to undo Trump policies and implement Biden's campaign promises in his first weeks in office. He plans to follow Inauguration Day by centering each day of January on a specific theme, according to a draft of a calendar document sent to administration allies and viewed by CNN. Thursday, Biden's first full day in office, will be focused on the coronavirus pandemic, and Friday will highlight Biden's push for economic relief -- including executive orders restoring federal employees' collective bargaining rights and directing agency action on safety net programs, including Medicaid and unemployment insurance. The themes next week will be "Buy American," with a Monday executive order beefing up requirements for government purchases of goods and services from US companies; equity on Tuesday, coupled with a push to eliminate private prisons; climate on Wednesday with an executive order kicking off regulatory actions reestablishing the President's Council of Advisors on Science and Technology and combating climate change; health care on Thursday, a day on which Biden will rescind the so-called Mexico City Policy blocking federal funding for non-governmental organizations that provide abortion services; and immigration on Friday, when Biden plans to sign executive orders focused on border processing and refugee policies and establish a family reunification task force. February will focus on what's identified in the calendar document as "restoring America's place in the world."

Aye fair point John. As you state there is a problem with the see saw where there is such little activity one body can become quite bloated compared to the other - whether through just means, misinformation, media manipulation, boundary changes etc, and it's not a major problem until the fat bastard moves further from the centre and the see saw swings like a mother fucker. So I think a see-saw is always gonna be a bad way to maintain a political centrism approach. Even if you look back at the UK 2010 election, the Liberal's most natural bedfellows would always have been new labour with their fiscal policies more closely aligned than under say a Corbyn / McDonnell govt, along with more shared values on liberal lifestyle, but they jumped onto the other end of the see saw thinking they would gain more leverage from tories who had already Bega moving away from the centre ground, this led to the Liberals then going that swing away from centre Clegg and Swinson could quite easily have been moderate tory cabinet members.

2 party systems will never grant centrism, it just gives a see saw effect. If you want true centrism, you need multiple parties, to pull in competing directions making and breaking ties on policy. talks of centrism in the uk or us is bollocks. Even over here in Aus, the Labour Party is too big for the liberals or nationals to compete on their own, so they have a permanent coalition and we have a 2 party system with the odd few independents, shit balances a bit more than the UK, but it’s not centrism.

The biggest stumbling point comes early, “the Anglo-Saxon west”, obviously the saxons themselves were an early Germanic tribe, so doubtless still retain an hereditary influence in Germany should they do so in the UK. also, how many Germanic immigrants to the US since settlers arrived from Europe? I mean Donny fucking Drumpf get fucks sake. Sandcastle argument to start with.

Fair point, but fuck ASOS

After a heavy day on the efes, I was trying to take a couple of cans Amstel malt into the attaturk, until someone pointed out it was alcohol free. fuck alcohol free spirits though. I had 18 weeks off the ale in one go last year. Think it’s easier to just go without than fuck about with alcohol free.

We had a copy of the epoch times stuck in the mailbox (suspect @skaro or @Hades had been in the neighbourhood). I had no idea what it was but thought, I’ll have a read at some point, it hung around the flat for a few weeks, then I picked it up on a trip to the dunny and nearly fell off the throne when I realised what it was.

Dunno who runs size but the ASOS fella is a Tory donating gobshite

I think when you look at the political leaders of the right, they are happy to trample on as many of those beneath them as it takes to get as high up the chain as possible. but they are definitely the tail and not the dog, and no matter what they think is happening the dogs are in control, they are happy for the tails to thi me they are, but look at the example of Murdoch over the years, and as you state the platform Granted to Trump, which has now been whipped away. the centre seem most concerned with maintaining a status quo that gets steadily worse year on year, like mr barraclough trying to keep order in HMP Slade. The level of power the tech companies (or rather their investors) now wield, goes back to the old days of the Rockefeller’s Rothschilds et al, but now as well as having vast sums of financial wealth with which to influence, they have the data and knowledge via machine learning and predictability with which to influence people at the individual level, that it seems to be game over. how we get away from this I have no idea, I’m not sure regulation can happen unless the tech giants want it, and that would be turkey’s voting for Christmas.

Haha all good John, as you say it’s upside down and as long as it continues so, this shit will happen. we have to hope for some kind of benign dictatorship along the lines of the Jedi council. Working capacity requirements are going down yearly (for the bullshit jobs anyway), ML is slowly infiltrating the arts, UBI has to come at some point, I half think there are a few at the top who want to see the global population reduced via global warming, which is behind the big money end of times safety shacks in NZ. only time will tell.

Some women, think in 1918 you still had to own a house or some strange shit to be enfranchised. So a bit like how liberals and the Tories would like to have things again. Less of the uneducated and unwashed getting their votes wrong. (I get that yer post was a piss take but it underpins an important point) Fully agree, the people behind these companies, especially the post millennium one, are so heavily diversified, with fingers in so many pies. Paypal gave us Musk & Thiel, consider what each of those is into, Musk seems the less nefarious at the minute, but both are of a clear libertarian bent, Thiel is clearly pursuing this through Palantir, he was also one of the 1st investors to Facebook. FaceBook as previously stated has workplace so it can monitor us dusk till dawn, even to the point of switching from workplace to FB/Instagram/WhatsApp when you go take a shite at work, if you are invested in the system they can track you around the clock. Every time some new platform arrives these bastards try to buy them, and due to the costs involved - no-one outside of the mega technocrats can afford them. people are also so reluctant to change platforms, even when you clearly state the problem and possible solutions to them. The need for a global solution, I think will only one when you have major blocs such as the EU or US making progressive changes. Problem with this is the people most heavily invested, will do what ever they can to prevent this, and I think part of the Brexit deal was definitely with regards to tracking and seriously disincentivising offshore accounting, rather than setting low slap-on-the-wrist non-punitive fines that are then built into the financial planning of the firms breaking the rules. Bow your greater industry knowledge on this shit. and yes, the Swede, mosdef, yes.

who is giving all opinions equal weight? This is certainly not my point, my point is that the individuals who believe the Q stuff, the trump stuff, the shit that has been supported by the senators and other representatives who are in on the gig, the people at the bottom end, the ones being whipped into a frenzy, they have an inarguable belief that what they are following is true and everything you throw at them as proof, one of them (whether from the top or bottom) will come up with reason of why that supports their theory. Have a listen to this interview: https://www.podbean.com/eu/pb-xke2g-f70151 Jarlath Regan with Marion McKeone a journalist based over there, she tells of how the teachers down to the kids in schools are so heavily indoctrinated into this shit. Just telling them it's bollocks won't work - we have a great example of this - religion. Fully agree, they need to be duly processed, but it shouldn't just be the idiots on the floor, it needs to hit the whole of the chain, otherwise it's a fucking sham, people will see it as a sham, and it will continue to feed their narrative(s) no mater how utterly ridiculous they may seem. the problem now, is the same as the problem 30 years ago, most people have had their news fed to them via old media, even online - BBC, Daily Heil, News Corp etc are the most popular sources of info, these have been setting the tone over time that enable the fringe media. Something as simple as this from well known conservative journalist investigating anti-semitism allegations against Corbyn Labour - no British media will pick it up - yeah keep going on about Corbyn, but it's fundamental to the argument about power in the west - that it is always loaded in favour of those wielding power, rather than what benefits the general public - the obfuscation of truth sits at the very top of the media pile, this level of misinformation enables those lower down fringe elements, as they can build on the lies and hate fulled by those further up. https://www.middleeasteye.net/opinion/labour-antisemitism-forde-inquiry-leaked-report-what-happening The purge needs to start at the top. not the bottom. Regulate at the top and the bottom, if you just focus on the bottom, nothing will change and more bottom feeders will spring up. Also look at the issues affecting the bottom, yeah they maybe a bit lower down the scale intelligence or education wise, but just shouting the thick fuckers should just understand the truth doesn't work, it's a shit approach, communication is 2 way, some of the stuff that Ashli bird was talking about were financial issues, similar things affected a lot of Brexit voters - look to fix them.

because the TV and Press are regulated, whereas online media is not.
