LemonDrizzle posted:The magic words are "final salary". Good news, public sector pensions are no longer linked to final salary but against an average of your salary during your employment! Good news unless you're a public sector worker approaching retirement age, that is, as you've spent all those years paying into a scheme thinking it would suffice only to be told the terms have changed and you've lost most of it.

Tempo 119 posted:As opposed to sex, which most people can just take or leave Nobody has to give up sex, nobody is suggesting that anyone should. The people who want prep drugs are the people who aren't willing to practice safe sex despite being in a high risk group. This is a needless drain on the NHS, and worse than that because all the people responsible for it are gay men it will be used to push AIDS as a "queer disease" just like it was in the 80s.

forkboy84 posted:Why is Billy Bragg a twat? Life's a Riot with Spy vs Spy is a cool record (though I have no way to play it because my deck is 33 1/3 & the record my dad bought donkeys ago was a 45. He's also responsible for my knowledge of Woody Guthrie. So he's alright by me. The usual reasons for calling Bragg a twat are because he's a socialist who speaks out against fascism and racism, or because the name caller is a Scottish nationalist. Anyone who doesn't like A New England should be shot.

forkboy84 posted:Why would ScotNats dislike Bragg? He seemed quite comfortable with the idea of Scottish independence. I mean surely supporting greater devolution in Scotland (or further) doesn't make you an ideological enemy of someone who wants similar for regions down south? Bragg came out in support of Bowie when Bowie spoke against Scottish independence, didn't he? Or am I thinking of someone else?

Private Eye posted:I know we went through this last time, but: Assuming he's talking about Remain needing only 2% of the votes cast, Pissflaps is accurate. A swing of 634751 votes would give a Remain victory. They only need a 1.269m gain if the votes come from elsewhere.

LemonDrizzle posted:What benefits do you have in mind? There's an option to cut expenditure on directors and executives, but that'd involve sacking people rather than "cutting benefits", and the total amount spent on those people's compensation at the moment is only £2.7m, which isn't a lot in the context of a £60m overspend. Tory detected. Bristol aren't overspending by £60m, they're being underfunded by £60m.

NRVNQSR posted:"£60.00m overspend" is exactly what the council's budget website calls it, so it seems rather unfair to jump on someone here for their use of the term. Bristol City Council just got slammed for selling all their social housing while homelessness in the city rose tenfold, so I'll jump on them too for using it.

forkboy84 posted:So somewhere in the north east, probably 2 more in the borders, maybe 1 in Edinburgh? Plus maybe 1 in the Highlands to the Liberals because Teuchters can't help themselves? The SNP are absolutely going to lose Banff and Buchan. Take that as a fact, not speculation: the SNP like to talk about how every Scottish authority came out in favour of Remain, but that doesn't mean every Scottish constituency did. Banff and Buchan voted 63% to Leave and they're pretty pissed off I hear. There's a smaller but not insignificant chance that Salmond will be unseated in Gordon as well, and I think Moray will possibly go Tory as well - it voted Remain by a hair and like B&B a lot of its population is in the coastal fishing communities.

It's a hell of a lot harder to get to KAT these days because the guy got arrested and the site shut down. Mirrors are being whack-a-moled as we speak. For anything else, a VPN will get round any block they can introduce.
