I look at some of the stuff in here that seems entirely reasonable and wonder whether any of the potential endpoints have been considered. I then follow (what seems to me) to be a logical sequence of events to an end point which may turn out to be a long way from the op’s end point. I have seen...

It’s possible that there is a very, very big difference between me and Trump. Also a very, very big difference in the circumstances in which Trump and I have commented. https://apnews.com/video/backlash-came-swiftly-after-trump-blamed-dc-plane-crash-on-dei-c98d257c530544c297c7d867c5c21775 Im...

Why not just keep it simple for a change Super, super Matt Super, super Matt Super, super Matt super Matty Gri- imes

I was using this as an example of a potential cultural change in a further response to a poster who thinks that cultural change is likely to accelerate and is acceptable. Cultural change won’t necessarily be limited to, say, another traditional .English pub becoming an Indian restaurant...

Is there anything outside SBT?

I wonder what the strategically dangled label says?

Any of these “talent”, quiz or reality shows. Anything involving Ant and Dec, including the cringeworthy Santander adverts. Mrs. Brown’s Boys, Rue Paul‘s Drag Race. EFL Championship on Sky.

Well, at least if it happens I can say I tried to warn people. It will creep in while we are looking elsewhere or asleep. People will then say, as they step over the bodies of people who have been thrown off roofs, how the fuck did we get to this point, and it will be too late. NB the use of...

Will Sharia law be acceptable as a modification of British culture? Would probably reduce immigration, particular amongst LGBTQ+ communities. All women forced to wear Niqabs? No alcohol? Public stoning and beheadings?

TBH, I can’t remember what the Tories opposed in opposition but then did an immediate about face when the formed a coalition government, 14 + years is a long time. As far as I know, I am allowed to support whichever political party I want to and disagree with which ever party or politician I...

This is interesting. I’m not sure why ATC are telling the helicopter to go behind the commercial jet when it is already in front of it and would have to turn round and fly back across the jet’s path to comply. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/videos/ce3nwy5v9g4o So , ATC who should be professional...

Presumably that will be a hypotheses to be looked at as part of the investigation, and potentially the easiest to complete definitively. They will also need to look at the helicopter crew as well.

It will be a self fulfilling prophecy of failure.

Excellent response. Nearest I came to “cracking” was my last job. It was a really weird feeling and contributed hugely to my decision to retire before the bastards finished me off. The stresses are genuine, having to save 3 - 5% of budget every year as a cost improvement programme whilst often...

They probably aren’t, but its another stick to beat people with. Can anyone show that what Trump said about the recruitment policies was inaccurate. It is entirely within the range of possibility that it was an entirely factual statement. The BBC has found some archived pages showing that what...

Urban myth.

I see positive discrimination on the basis of ethnicity as being, in itself, racist. Denying anyone a job on the basis of age is ageist, or using sex (gender) is sexist.

There are 1,500,000 people employed by the NHS, so that would be 3.3%, which is close to public sector average, private sector being 2.6%. Public sector sickness rates are generally higher than private sector rates due to a combination of factors including: Job nature: Many public sector roles...
