The two guys responding to the “rip it down” chant are lucky the rigger that mounted that banner took his job seriously. Pulling a rolling projector screen down on your head is going to end you up in A&E.

It’s a pretty common misconception; especially because it makes a certain sense!

I think you may have misunderstood. Rolling stock means just the physical trains themselves. The franchises (one of the two major profit extraction points) will go. The rolling stock firms will still exist but after a time be negotiating with a unified British Rail with a unified plan to negotiate prices.

You’ve perhaps compared the wrong niche though. Game streamers are the Harlem Globetrotters; you’re not there to watch excellent gaming, but entertaining gaming. Whereas esports are the equivalent to competitive sports.

That said; I too struggle to care about watching either. Even my old boss Limmy, no care for watching him stream.

We’re one of the only places in the world with Privatised water, and we’re doing a dramatic reenactment of the case study of why it’s not a good idea.

I don’t defend the decision; but when it was enacted it did work; in exactly and only that specific circumstance, for an exceptionally short period of time. It offloaded a comparatively small bill to the private sector, in exchange for the monopolies; a terrible idea IMHO.

I liken it to a house move. If I must pay removal people, I can either pay them what they ask, or burn everything I own and save on the price of the movers. Burning everything might save me money during moving week, but after that one initial saving, I will be paying ungodly amounts to repurchase everything I burned.

Rishi wouldn’t put Truss or Boris there after the month they’ve had. May could get one, but I think that would anger a lot of Brexiteers who blame May for some of their woes.

Let’s fuck shit up is code for keep Rishi in power*.

One member of the group had decided to leave, so wanted a valiant sacrifice for his character, none of the rest of us would leave him behind though, so we almost got TPKd before the DM admitted there was literally no way to win the encounter.

I used to classify these as PICNIC.

Problem In Chair, Not In Computer.

Not to be confused with “No.”

I’m utterly befuddled by this woman; somehow she hates the idea of trans women so much that she’s now closely allied with Posie Parker, a woman who hates women, hates suffrage, has advocated for the removal of women’s rights for years, and shares closely held opinions from just right of Goebbels.

Somehow Jo has become so utterly single-minded, she’s paired with the antithesis of all the other things she believes in (and still claims to believe as justification of her anti-trans nonsense).

No, she held almost 2m, sold 25% and has 1.4m in remaining stock.

Sorry, I was making a silly joke about their historic Twitter dishonesty.

I hope FactCheck UK follow up with a video on Woking and Thurrock…

Ardent rubbish.

How could the voters not love a fifth PM from the same party in as many years?

You appear to have missed the bit when a certain neo-Thatcherite PM fucked the economy to ribbons in mid-2022 then.

Not a defence of her or the shitty situation, but she isn’t in government, and this predates her time as Prime Minister.

I guess higher taxes is a winning policy amongst [checks notes] Islamophobes.
