Please please please be a sting operation. Charles pretends to knight him and “slips” or something.

Unlikely. He’s been banished from royal events.

At the time of writing there’s one response in this whole thread that isn’t about Starmer, Corbyn, the Greens, Farage, or the crooked letterhead. Once again the Lib Dems demonstrate why they are the best chance for this country, and yet everyone ignores what they say.

People need to engage with the threat, and when you hear a party saying the right things, support them. Don’t cut them down. They are ignored by the media who would rather amplify the voices of Farage, Yaxley-Lenon and Musk. If you agree with Ed Davey that the UK government needs to make sure people like Musk face consequences for trying to invite violence in the UK, be vocal about it - here and anywhere else you can be.

The thing with chemo is that it’s pure poison.

It’s cheap to run for one person. Any service running it isn’t cheap when it has a good number of users.

I’m actually wondering if we’re headed towards a deflationary event. I don’t think the underlying customer base can support a lot of the prices now as wages have stayed well below inflation, plus I believe some of the inflation is artificial profit taking. Oil is half the price it was a few years ago, so transportation of goods should be a lot cheaper. Energy as a whole has been getting cheaper too as new renewable generation comes online, so those costs come down too.

The economists would think some deflation would be the worst thing ever, but the inflation spike of the last few years doesn’t seem to have a solid foundation.

Good for you. Hope you’re enjoying being reborn.

My guess… It was anfo but they tried to set it off with a bit of string that they lit.

…and unless we recover it all with robots, that’s exactly where it’s staying. It’s far too unstable to move with people.

As an owner myself I can only agree.

Mormons, Jehovah’s Witnesses and Scientology are all quite similar. They all have some modern founder (Smith / Russel / Hubbard) who has positioned themselves as a Abraham like figure within the religion. Someone who has been charged by god (or aliens) to write the scriptures.

They are all cults of personality, and a lot of American evangelical churches display similar traits. Charismatic preachers who become celebrities within the movement getting fame and power in the process. There seems to be something in the American psyche that gravitates to this kind of movement.

Christian or not - all of these are problems movements in my eyes.

That show (not specifically the Norm episode) made me realise how ugly Jerry Seinfeld’s personality was. He was just not nice. Extremely materialistic. Not naturally charming or funny. Messed up value system.

It’s a celebration of European shared artistic culture, but also the diversity within that shared culture. It represents some important things, but it also doesn’t take itself too seriously.

I personally can’t stand watching it because the music tends to be shit (IMO) but I can understand it.

BMW brought the i3 and i8 to market in 2014 and squandered their lead in EVs for the next decade. They’re crying now because they didn’t follow through then.

Nah. There’s loads of them.

And after.

One MP tipped Phillips as gaining support, saying she was “an ideal successor to Angela [Rayner]. Brave, strong, principled, clear values, great communicator, sounds like a normal person.”

I think she would be an awful choice. Far too entrenched in the battles of the culture war. The press would love it, but nothing of value would ever get discussed.

Sadly, the person doing it doesn’t have fore-knowledge that they are about to make a mistake. They don’t know what to change. The advice has to be more specific.

Having heard enough tales from my sister, Nurses are particularly bad in this regard. I think it’s partly because seniority is so heavily related to how long they’ve been putting up with this shit. It’s not the best leaders that become senior. It’s the people with the most battle scars.

Neoliberalism is an afront to liberalism. Please don’t conflate the two. It ignores anything to do with the rights of anybody except the ruling class.

Liberals believe that every person should be free to live their best life, and that includes freedom from oppression, poverty and other social disadvantages. Therefore it’s government’s role to lift those barriers. They also believe that government can be one of those oppressors and so favour regulating as little as possible, but also recognise the need for regulations when it stops the powerful exploiting the weak.

Neoliberals just believe that companies shouldn’t be subject the regulation. It’s greedy, and exploitative.
