"Are their no prisons? No poor houses? The homeless muust go there."
Wes forgetting again that Labour was started by Kier Hardie and the Trades Unions and not Ebeneezer Scrooge pre-haunting.
It is your job to manage people.
It is your job to surround yourself with people who will tell you the truth.
It is your job to ask the follow up questions.
It is your job to make sure people are following the right procedures.
If you can't or won't do that step aside.
As someone who has led several groups in my life I will never understand why people in positions of leadership think saying "I had no clue what people under me were doing." should absolve them of blame for the consequent cock up rather than compounding it.
It's your JOB to know.
It is indeed haha
Sign up for Matt Goodwin’s substack now, or you’ll miss his must-read piece on how woke progressive Viktor Orbán had this coming all along.
"This was Orban's Manchester Gorton"
Jakub Krupa Jakub Krupa After delivering his speech, Orbán kind of shrugs his arms to someone in the front row as if saying “what else was I supposed to do.” He looks defeated.
This is the future liberals want
It's interesting that people've decided that when social media *won't* protect it's users that, unlike every other previous instance where government stepped in to regulate the industry that wouldn't do it voluntarily we've decided to regulate the victims of that failure. #LibDemConf
It's a Wales Rugby hoodie so it could be worse.
Was impressed to see Simon Hughes walking up to the lectern in what looked like a hot pink hoodie only to realise it was just the lighting and it's actually red. #LDConf
Today in 'well those were words that were said together'
"WHY ARE YOU SPOONING THE SOFA BED?!?!"
Lovely day in York- painted some pottery at Rainbows Ceramics and went to York's Chocolate story. Now at the Mason's Arms having dinner with friends and loving it
Question posed by my wife after waiting an inordinate amount of time (20 minutes) to get our bill. "How long do you have to wait before you you can just go?"
The service and food were amazing otherwise, they just apparently don't want us to leave!!
Urban Gothic. Genuinely some amazing story writing and acting and I really wish there'd been more.
I have met exactly 1 other person who's seen it to my knowledge.
That was impressive.
Oh it was massively OTT but it did work in terms of the goal being to get you to remember the actual message. Like we can all quote them.
"If you hit me at 30mph there's an 80% chance I'll live" and pretty much anyone my age or older will instantly be able to describe the ad to you.
People who did not grow up in the UK in the 90's discovering our road safety PSA's has almost enough entertainment value for me to get over having watched them as a kid...
Yeah but you bet I wore my fucking seatbelt after it.
The UK was very good at a specific genre of "what the actual shit did I just watch?!" horrifying road safety ads. - for example:
youtu.be/ipnJbSnmc24?...
this is like
the thesis statement of our times
Me and my wife were planning doing UK>QM2>NYC>Niagra>Toronto>UK for our honeymoon and almost as soon as Trump got elected that went out the window!
We're Queer, I'm trans and a Union rep and trying to cross the US border twice didn't feel like a good plan!
It's not a zero sum game though. It may well heighten some of my issues but it alleviates others. Therefore it's up to me to decide if the pros outweigh the cons. Just like some of the meds I take have side effects so can some of my coping strategies.
There is a difference between "being a terrible writer" and "being a writer who writes in a style you don't like." Tbf
I'd rather chew sand than read Dickens and nothing short of a gun to my head will induce me to try Josef Conrad again- I still recognise they are both great writers.
SA survivor and weirdly same- with an added 'I want to understand the brain of someone who does things like that.'
Girlguiding and the Women’s Institute say that they have been left with no choice but to exclude trans people, even though they don’t want to.
This is outrageous – and we want to defend them. Help us do that here🛡️👇

The Ponds patrons are overwhelmingly supportive of trans inclusion, and yet still Sex Matters keep pusing there idealogical agenda. They say they defend women's rights, but continue to ignore the voices of women; how very misogynistic.
Your periodic reminder that Maye Musk's family is so racist that Errol Musk, a man known far and wide for his racism, found them way too racist
Awwww :( well you can still enjoy it haha
Well I feel like I've got an exciting new obsession to entertain me in my post Plus-Chair years... wanna project?
Ok but also I don't care as long as I get my full puppet war of the worlds! (And I include a tiny Jeff Wayne puppet conductor in that)
I love it. I demand the full handpuppet version immediately!!
