ive slept in the cpgb-ml offices while i was in birmingham. it was 2014 i believe and they were being renovated. we didn't have a shower or kitchen. we washed at a comrade's house about 2 kilometers from the office. we ate a lot of curry from the indian place across the street. there was an office room with portraits of lenin and stalin that i took squat pictures with. one friend split with 'em after working for htem because he went full maoist. is now studying chinese after having finished his economics degree or something like that. another went off the lacanian deep end and is an excellent resource for that stuff. i broke my mostly theatrical ties with the cpgb-ml because i became strasserite. friend 3 and i are both interning at law firms lol birmingham was such a desolate loving wasteland. i've never seen a cityscape that inspired so much hopelessness. i didn't think there were crumbling buildings to be found in any western european metropolitan center but i was wrong. the strange black man hopped up on cocaine slamming mince pies was excellent. we went to the black country and i was in this town with a huge anchor in the middle of it. even there everyone looked downtrodden. the lights were on but nobody was home so to speak. this year we're meeting in the netherlands. prob go down to vienna as well if i get some free time this summer

I'm here to support the anti-semitic wing of Corbyn's Labor, which is why I'm posteing so anti-semitically & in favor of Nazi policy.

Uh, isn't Strasserism basically anti-capitalist Nazism? Edit: beaten like a Strasser brother.

I was on the dole from September to December last year and they made me do it, completely loving useless. I made a throwaway email account called ujmdoesntwork for it and the geezer at the jobcentre either didn't notice or care, didn't notice i think, he was a nice chap but not to technically savvy. e: vv yep vv

it sounds like much the same thing that the right wing government installed here to combat (among other things) benefits fraud. but i'd be surprised if the overhead hasn't already exceeded the costs of any real benefit fraud. it is a disciplinary measure meant to punish workers by makign them carry the burden of the financial class's responsibility.

 tipchat in the news Restaurant staff 'should keep their tips' quote:Waiting staff should receive their tips in full and it should be clearer to customers that gratuities are optional, the business secretary has said. Is the government doing an unambiguously good thing for workers? There must be some catch here but I'm not seeing it (apart from the obvious potential of "say a thing, do nothing")

Hah I remember having to use universal jobmatch when I was on the dole. It was hilariously bad. They made such a big deal of it being so important to record everything for them to monitor but I'd just pick three random jobs from the list every day and make a note saying i'd applied for them regardless of what I'd actually done. Afaik no one ever checks beyond a superficial glance. The whole system is just the definition of pointless hoop jumping on both sides and tbh that really comes across sometimes - most of my advisors just signed me off without even bothering to look or ask. Must actually be the worst working in a jobcentre. That said a friend was signing on down in the south east and he said they were total shits, but I don't really know how they'd see through outright lies on the website.

When I was on the dole, it was pretty much a coinflip on who you'd get and who'd sanction you. Like, sometimes I'd go in without having done anything at all for the week and get away with it, sometimes I'll have applied for more than the quota, and have pages of printed out emails and still get sanctioned. When I 'volunteered' at the local jobcentre, I saw how easy it is. To work there, you just have to literally not care about other people and find their suffering funny. I got tons of helpful tips though. Did you know, for example, that if the 'customer's English is crap, you can just sanction them and it's fine. They won't know you're taking their money away until after their pay-date, and at that point they can't appeal. You get your bonus and there's nothing they can do! It's win-win!

FinalGamer posted:So, I get Zac Goldsmith is a racist prick from the golden gated community or something, but what's the non-racist reasons for people not liking Sadiq Khan because I'm rather confused about some things in this London dickwaving contest. Khan is basically a non-blairite Blairite. He's pro-cuts to government services and spouts tosh about keepin' r females safe in his campaign crud. He also says he's pro-nationalisation, but my local Labour option for the assembly is a senior manager in southeastern, so er, I'm guessing his nationalisation means 'endless PFI'. Basically the least poo poo candidates are Caroline Pidgeon, but gently caress Lib Dems forever and realistically they will not ever get elected while south london remembers Simon Hughes. Or Sophie Walker who is not poo poo, but a one platform thing, so never gonna happen like the greens.

Years ago when I was on the dole, I remember one signing on supervisor flat out told me the only reason he was working there was to do his minimum 3 months so he could quit and go back on the dole without getting it taken away. They also straight up cancelled my dole money after I missed a signing on appointment because I went to a job fair, which I had called in advance and cleared with them. It took me 4 weeks of phoning people to get it restarted. Then I had to make a retrospective claim for that 4 week period, and they hosed it up and paid me for the 4 weeks they missed, plus for the whole of the time before that right back to when I had started claiming. I phoned to ask them if they wanted the money back for the part they'd paid me double and the lady on the phone just told me to keep it. It's run by people who don't give a poo poo and/or are terrible human beings.
