If you seriously wanted to put a dampener on Reform recruiting people to stand as councillors, the most effective way would be to ban parish councils from having any input into the planning process.

Working in a warehouse when the EGRC guidance comes out is just making me wonder which security guards actually understand this, and which ones are going to use it to be a cunt to anyone who looks even slightly gender non-conforming.

I don’t think the US will do a large scale invasion of Iran, there’s not a big enough build up of US forces. But I would not rule out the US doing something very, very stupid at the moment.

I still don’t under the “focus training on local economies” thing Burnham is pushing. Does this mean he’s going to make Warhammer a part of the school curriculum in Nottingham?

All I’ll add to the Covid discourse is that some people went very weird, especially in the early days. Travelling by bus to my dubiously essential job it wasn’t fun getting shouted at by members of the public. Let alone my mum (who was a carer) getting hassled repeatedly.

When Britain decides to grow up and be normal again, they should jail anyone who’s described themselves as an auditor. Even if it ends up putting away a few people who had a real job that just happened to have it in their title. It’s acceptable collateral.

And the 40K whiners have combined with the Helldivers whiners. Oh no you didn’t get the super niche regiment armour, the chain sword (like the game didn’t already have something similar) and no (standard) lasrifle? Grow up.

Forget female Space Marines in 40K they should do a story about a non-binary Space Marine, where all the others are confused about what honerific title they should be called while the Marine gets increasingly pissed off as their ignored.

The best part of social media is the fact that someone like me, an objectively uneducated, intermittently employed warehouse worker can get under the skin of well connected academics and journalists through the power of posting.

It’s weird how the UK doesn’t really operate on “polite” bigotry anymore and there’s still the odd people who assume it does and still trot out lines like “you have to win the argument” and “you’re convincing no one with that attitude” like people aren’t talking about exterminating minorities openly

I don’t think you can separate transphobia/anti-queerness from Britains trend towards far-right radicalisation. It’s been a key part of it so if you are one of the Brits who see Musk as bad but transphobia as being ok then you are a bit stupid to say the least.

My idea for rebooting Dr Who would be a larger and much more expansive central cast, possibly starting The RZA, The GZA, U-God, Inspectah Deck, Ghostface Killah, Raekwon the Chef……….

The only good use of Meta glasses I’ve seen is someone putting them on their dog. I should probably try and find that account again to double check that the dog has not been used to upskirt people though.

The new female ODST in Campaign Evolved seems to be a very Woke 1 coded character from the reactions I’ve been seeing. I’ll leave it until I play it to decide if it’s Woke 1 (laudatory) or (derogatory) until I play it.

A very annoying type of guy on Facebook, one who always pops up in the comments of videos posted by comedians saying stuff like “it would have been funnier if you said…. 😂😂😂” and it’s less funnier or completely unnecessary.
