I think it’s Flying Rodent on Twitter who points out that Johnson’s big failing isn’t that he’s constantly grafting, thieving, shagging , taking bribes and being corrupt - it’s that he’s terrible at covering it up and the people who are used to this stuff being done quietly don’t like it

I want a join a union but I'm honestly clueless about who does what. I'm middle management in the imports and distribution sector and have done some googling - it's suggesting URT, USDAW and various general unions like Unite, GMB etc. It'd also be rad if the guys I manage could join up but that's a tough slog, they're either apolitical or media poisoned to be anti union

Terry knows what he can do with his bloody chocolate orange...

General thread union advice if you're not sure what union to join in priority order:

1) The union that has the most people at your work. This is the correct choice 99% of the time.
2) Your profession specific union (eg a teacher's union if you're a teacher). If you're not sure what profession specific unions are available to you then
3) General unions: GMB, Unite, Unison. Of these, Unite is probably the least poo poo nationally but that's no guarantee about your local branch.

Facebook has been targeting me tonight with Home Office videos telling me to join the police force, which is weird since I'm a 50 year old cripple with a criminal record. This tells me that they've paid to spread the net very far and wide.



This video invites you to be one of 20,000 new police officers from the perspective of a rookie who finds a major drugs operation. My interpretation is that the govt is recruiting gormless idiots to protect the establishment once everything starts going to poo poo... more so...

Has anyone else seen the same on their feeds?

Yes! I've had one today - "GCHQ Admin Staff - The Backbone of Our Security!" apparently. So "backbone" indeed that the salary is all of £20k rising to a max of about £25k.

It's more there's less police now than 2008 and people are noticing that they are useless for what people want from the police, moreso than security state expansion.

Also people quitting places like GCHQ because the pay is poo poo and them desperately trying to fill jobs with subpar pay by recruiting more.

The Tories want a security state on the cheap.

Why would an ambulance be leaving the hospital?

That's one of the best bits in the bible and I wish RE had been less the pious stuff and more the really weird poo poo.

From 2 Kings 2:23-25:
'Then he went up from there to Bethel; and as he was going up the road, some youths came from the city and mocked him, and said to him, “Go up, you baldhead! Go up, you baldhead!”

So he turned around and looked at them, and pronounced a curse on them in the name of the Lord. And two female bears came out of the woods and mauled forty-two of the youths.

Then he went from there to Mount Carmel, and from there he returned to Samaria.'

The provinces are behind the curve. I’ve noticed Met-centric polis adverts for about 9 months here in London. It looked at the time very much like a post-Everard attempt at image rehabilitation. Grim AF. Now it just looks like pigs recruiting for the knacker.

The funniest part of this is that, post-Everard, it's been basically nothing but a string of "Hey, the Met really is full of complete loving arseholes, isn't it?" stories.

Imagine being the Met's head of PR and - presumably - being so short of options that you can't just resign, but have to plod on regardless. Serves whoever that oval office is right, imo.

42 kids could definitely take on 2 bears, definitely get one down.

And unless they were old fashion Duggars, 42 kids would be at least 6+ families, upto 42 max possible.
So all these families would be nearby obviously, kids travel on foot wouldnt be far.
So eventually would come along and see 42 corpses all in close proximity, wondering what the hosed happened. Hellraiser 4000BC
So it would be the local talk for years, how a near full local generation got wiped out and no one knows what happened.
The rest grow up with this tragic story, passed on.
Then some rear end in a top hat preacher comes along, and tells them the story of how 42 kids made an old man feel sad so had to die.

And if they were all large Biblical-style families, then you know how the rest fight if someone takes a swing at one of them, even if they all hate one another at home.
Five or six groups of those would wreck a couple of large lone carnivores no matter how much holy fire they'd been wreathed in.

Yeah I've got a mate who works for the National Crime Agency. I'm not sure what pay he's on now as he's posted in Columbia looking at drug trafficking and stuff, but I know that for years before he was sent out there (he did actually volunteer for it tbf) he was always complaining about how poo poo his pay was.

Yeah they are just absolute loving cretins.

I think part of why liberals jizz so much about how amazingly competent everybody in charge is that their brains would explode if they realised just what an absolute fuckwit every single person in any position of power actually is. Realising this also makes you think that sortition would likely be better at producing good outcomes than picking whatever prick's Dad knows the right people to lead us (i.e. how it's done right now)
