Thanks Oberleutnant and baka kaba.

There was one common theme throughout the last half of last month's thread, and in the interest of preserving the discussion as it developed:

Thanks OwlFancier and Angepain.

In other news:
� Jeremy Corbyn and Tom Watson won the Labour leadership and deputy leadership elections, Corbyn winning by a huge margin. The press will continue to pine and call him an unelectable communist as Labour Party membership soars.
� David Cameron describes a Corbyn-led Labour Party as "now a threat to our national security, our economic security and your family's security." Expect this to become a regular accusation.
� Vegan farming minister for the shadow cabinet Kerry McCarthy wants to treat meat eaters like smokers. How she wants to treat smoked meat eaters, meat smokers, or indeed meat fuckers has not been elaborated upon.
� Jeremy Corbyn outlines that he would not 'Push the Button', remaining true to both his lifelong pacifism and distaste for mid 2000s pop.
� The London Metropolitan Police lied about a sudden arrhythmia death, trying to pin it on the notorious 'hippie crack' (aka the gas you get at the dentist), and has finally apologised long after the press had turned it into a full blown moral panic and harassed the family.
� David Cameron is off to Jamaica to help build a prison, on the condition that he can offshore prisoners due for deportation there. And presumably to try the jerk pork.
� Russia is beginning air strikes against (anti-Assad parts of) Syria. Britain will probably be pressured to launch strikes against Assad, because there's no war like a proxy war.
� Corbyn is (still) an unelectable communist according to the press.

quote:

The average 35-year-old has to save �660,000 into a pension plan if they have any hope of matching the standard of living enjoyed by today�s pensioners � but have so far managed to put aside just �14,000.
The challenge facing young adults today is �frightening� admitted pensions company Royal London, which carried out the research (pdf).
While many pensioners benefit from generous final-salary style schemes which give them a guaranteed income based on their salary before retirement, the majority of today�s 35-year-olds working in the private sector will have to rely on how their pension savings accumulate on the stock market.
Royal London found the average expenditure by pensioners is currently �1,183 a month, not including the state pension. Adjusted for inflation, that will rise to �2,930 by the time today�s 35-year-olds retire in 2050 � and to secure an income of that amount will require a pension pot of �660,000, it said.
�This is to be able to secure a monthly income which will only just maintain the same standard of living of today�s retirees,� it said.
Many face serious poverty in retirement, Royal London said. �Worryingly the research found that today�s 30- to 40-year-olds have a median pension pot of only �14,000, well short of the fund they require to secure a monthly income that will just cover the basic �1,715 cost of essentials in 2050. Unless this group start to save more, they could face a retirement in poverty.�

Best squirrel them pennies away.

Clinton's office was rocked by a consensual blowjob and Cameron goes by fairly undamaged by the news he had an non-consensual one from a dead pig.
The left lacks the ability to exploit scandals the way the right does. Miliband pulled a face eating a sandwich and the Tories managed to create a insult that followed him his whole career. The way this pig event went by I wonder if people will remember in a year what happened.

Pay more into pension schemes, says pension industry!

They are right, though. DC pensions are terrible and poo poo and the decline of DB schemes is yet another way the young are being screwed by the boomers.

A lot of people will also be renting into old age because buying a house is impossible. God knows how they'll be able to afford that on a tiny pension.

Microplastics: Jul 6, 2007; It's what's for dinner.

That noted socialist institution - consumer rights protection - has somehow slipped an extra ace into its hand under the Tories' watch

quote:

New consumer protection measures - including longer refund rights - have come into force under the Consumer Rights Act.

For the first time anyone who buys faulty goods will be entitled to a full refund for up to 30 days after the purchase. Previously consumers were only entitled to refunds for a "reasonable time".

There will also be new protection for people who buy digital content, such as ebooks or online films and music.

The Act also covers second-hand goods, when bought through a retailer.

People buying services - like a garage repair or a haircut - will also have stronger rights.

Under the new Act, providers who do not carry out the work with reasonable care, as agreed with the consumer, will be obliged to put things right. Or they may have to give some money back.

"The new laws coming in today should make it easier for people to understand and use their rights, regardless of what goods or services they buy," said Gillian Guy the chief executive of Citizens Advice.

When disputes occur, consumers will now be able to take their complaints to certified Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) providers, a cheaper route than going through the courts.

The Consumer Rights Act says that goods must be of satisfactory quality, based on what a reasonable person would expect, taking into account the price must be fit for purpose. If the consumer has a particular purpose in mind, he or she should make that clear must meet the expectations of the consumer. The Act has been welcomed by many consumer rights groups and further information can be found here. https://www.citizensadvice.org.uk/about-us/how-citizens-advice-works/citizens-advice-consumer-work/the-consumer-rights-act-2015/

"Now, if you buy a product - whether physical or digital - and discover a fault within 30 days you'll be entitled to a full refund," said Hannah Maundrell, the editor of money.co.uk.

"The party really is over for retailers that try to argue the point."

The Act also enacts a legal change that will enable British courts to hear US-style class action lawsuits, where one or several people can sue on behalf of a much larger group.

It will make it far easier for groups of consumers or small businesses to seek compensation from firms that have fixed prices and formed cartels.

I'm trying to find out who is responsible for this but having trouble finding a vote list. Here's the bill stages if anyone knows how to navigate this website: http://services.parliament.uk/bills/2014-15/consumerrights/stages.html

Changing refunds from a reasonable time to 30 days might be a bit of an issue. If I bought a washing machine and it broke after 3 months I would have expected my money back as 3 months is not a reasonable amount of time but 30 days (especially for a product that is only used sporadically) might not be long enough for the flaws to be uncovered. These days warranties and stuff make that statutory right kind of a second thought I guess but still I liked the wiggle room of 'reasonable time'.
