I don’t really agree - I haven’t seen anything from the media coverage to suggest this crime was somehow worse than any other child murder. (Some trans people online have even claimed this story has had LESS coverage than other similar crimes - I don’t know if that’s true) Plus I think it’s only natural for people to want to know the details (and therefore the possible motivations) of a shocking case like this one. Just as people seeing reports of a terror attack etc want to know the reasons why.
I also think that when it comes to a group that is so disproportionately exposed to violence and discrimination as the trans community, many trans people actively want there to be more discussion of that, in the hope that people will have a better of understanding of the problems they face. Even if that’s not a factor in this case - and it would be wrong to be too definitive when speculating about it - it’s still a reality in the world we live in.
And as I have always said everyone should do what is best for them. But 100% payrise after just 5 years in times of low inflation and complaining that the payrise wasn't enough is a bit too much.
I paid over 40k in income tax last year. Just like I usually do. And some expect me to pay more so they can have more than a 100% payrise after just 5 Years. Never mind. Just 4 more weeks of paying for the entititled.
Your earnings are easily high enough to retire early. You will have a pension that most can only dream of. But can you live a frugal life and save every penny and invest it?
I saved every penny I could for many years. No exotic holidays. Always drove older cars. My present one is 15 years old. The wife's car is 16 years old. My phone will do until it stops working. And another big help is the house we're presently buying. In the UK it would be about 300k in the cheapest areas yet only €88,000. One room alone is 68m2.

68m2? Is it an old school house?
It’s looking quite likely in April! Potentially got a couple of layovers for flights there - one of them might end up getting extended!There's always one.
Yes, they do. Are you planning a visit?
Won't be much in it. Been getting between 1% and 2% for years. This one we have been offered 6% and our union has advised us to accept it. But if we were public sector they would advise us to not accept.I don’t think it’s typical, just saying you can cherry pick to show anything. Public sector wages on the whole haven’t kept pace with private sector.
Does that annoy you?The 'things that annoy you' thread turning into a yet another politics thread.

Lots of wincing, sucking teeth and shaking headCar garages. Rang 3 today, told them what I need and none have not back with a price and when they can do it.
Recruiters. God they’re fucking arseholes
I wish I could understand youYou’re such a hater man
Agree. Had a day off Friday came in Monday had 150 emails. About 50 of them were shitThe insane increase in the amount of junk emails hitting my Outlook inbox over the last week. Have seen a few other people complaining about the same thing online, it's becoming nigh on unusable
I mean the other 100 were also shit but from humans who at least think that I want to hear from themAgree. Had a day off Friday came in Monday had 150 emails. About 50 of them were shit
The roundabout by The shepherd that goes between the Tamworth road, Keresley green road and the scotchill . The amount of cars coming up from the scotchill that think they have the right of way into the Tamworth road is crazy
Yes that’s the one, I remember a few years ago someone took the give way signs and it caused carnageThe right turn one? Yeah have had a few people just appear without looking there.
Last time I was there the car behind me started beeping because I was giving way at the give way sign. People are thick as fuckYes that’s the one, I remember a few years ago someone took the give way signs and it caused carnage
