The thing that gets me is that this and the free school meals thing are piddling sums in comparison to things like furloughing, yet they mean a huge deal to the people affected and not implementing them could end up costing a lot more. It's Duncan-Smith-esque in its boneheaded stupidity and callousness.

Hopefully Starmer can pick this up next.

Holy shit. What is the matter with these fucking psychopaths? They're either unbelievably incompetent, or just pure evil. Probably both, sadly.

Good stuff- to add to that, the corruption is a manifestation of the current state of capitalism too. The massive tax avoidance, diversion of public funds and bullying and silencing of critics or competitors through platoons of highly paid lawyers. 'The little guy' doesn't stand a chance as the rules are made by and for the benefit of his ilk.

All our house moves have been horrendous and ridiculously stressful in one way or another, so we ain't moving again ever. Even when we paid for movers, the fuckers got the date wrong and didn't turn up the day before the move so I ended up having to help them pack. Mind you, that was still better than doing most of it myself, and having a mate with a HGV licence drive a big van up to Scotland to stick our stuff in storage for a couple of months.

Some people just have to take things too far.

Christ, that's nightmare fuel.

I'd agree with that if it was a ten minute stroll or bike ride as a commute. Spending an hour or more in traffic jams or rammed into shit trains like cattle before you even start work and then facing the same after you've 'finished' is no good for anyone. Especially when you're paying through the nose for it because- London aside- public transport is so fucked in this country.

Do Just Eat deliver there though?

Marina Hyde on caustic form- https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2020/jun/16/marcus-rashford-politicians-nurses-footballer-ministers Best lines-

No doubt that was completely unprompted, and he then went on to list Everton 'firsts' instead of responding to the police interview questions.

It's because of his little hands and stubby fingers, the useless fat cunt.

Arf, for a government with an 80 seat majority, they're very wobbly- https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2020/jun/16/boris-johnson-faces-tory-rebellion-over-marcus-rashfords-school-meals-call Back of the net.

No doubt some badly-tested Capita or Northgate piece of shit.

https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2020/jun/15/uk-black-lives-matter-protests-statues?CMP=fb_cif Good stuff, but this is all going to fizzle out isn't it? Nothing will get done, nothing will change, and the Mail/ Telegraph brigade of cunts will just mock the movement for getting old TV episodes pulled or having a pop at cartoon cereal characters.

New Zealand gets its first new cases in weeks. Unsurprisingly, they're imported from the UK- https://www.theguardian.com/world/2020/jun/16/new-zealand-records-first-new-covid-19-cases-after-women-arrive-from-uk-carrying-virus Releasing them from quarantine without being tested was really poor, especially as one of them was having symptoms, hopefully they won't make that mistake again.

I didn't see a figure for infections, unless it's in one of the other charts he posted.

It's almost as though they're making it up as the go along.

As long as they can 'get Brexit done' and sell us down the river to the US, then they'll be happy enough. The damage will be nigh on irreversible by then.

So true.

Yeah, they're tough, at least you can get a really good work out in 15-20 minutes.

Yeah, as Rico said above, Fartlek really helps with that. I found running intervals- 1 minute legging it, 1 minute recovery, repeat as often as you can- made the biggest difference to my running in terms of getting better times. The slowish plod to get your base fitness is needed, but the fun's in mixing it up.

But Corbyn liked a mural and Abbot can't count and anyway they're getting Brexit done.
