Rayvin 6244 Posted Wednesday at 15:44 Share Posted Wednesday at 15:44 I do think politicians need to be braver with this than it appears they're going to be. I have faith in the EU to do what is needed here between some manner of response and a longer term re-organisation, but the UK is so small minded on this stuff now (since we have no influence) that we're just going to be chasing shadows of the movements from everyone else. Â We need to get back into the EU. I'm already sick to death of being an irrelevance. Between that and immigration doubling since, it's just beyond me why anyone ever thought this was a good idea. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wykikitoon 23490 Posted Wednesday at 15:47 Share Posted Wednesday at 15:47 It was too simple for people. Put to them as a binary vote. Not like a GE or Local election where they have more than one thing to think about. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gemmill 51694 Posted Wednesday at 15:50 Share Posted Wednesday at 15:50 I had to explain to my mam this week that she didn't need to worry about her money losing value cos it's with a bank, not in the stock market.  But mention Brexit and she thinks she's a fucking world trade expert. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rayvin 6244 Posted Thursday at 09:19 Share Posted Thursday at 09:19 https://transsafety.network/posts/chili-sauce-in-mascara-wes-streeting-complicity-conversion-abuse/ Â Streeting seems to have aligned himself with trans conversion therapy groups who advocate for destroying the clothes of your kid if they're not aligned with their birth gender, and putting extra hot chilli sauce in their mascara. Â My opinion of Streeting is already on the floor in a general sense but I do admire his consistency. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemmill 51694 Posted Thursday at 09:32 Share Posted Thursday at 09:32 Tbf I'm sure Streeting is completely unaware of the mad shit being discussed on that group's private Discord forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There’s literally me and one other person doing what I do in the whole of the civil service, let alone the department. But at the very least there’s bound to be a lot of people I know who will be. It’s pure politics too imo. Once again trying to appeal to people who would never vote for them whilst alienating people who otherwise would 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gemmill 51694 Posted Thursday at 18:56 Share Posted Thursday at 18:56 Hope your job is safe Alex. And I'm sure you're right, the dickheads are continuing the job of the Tories and Musk and demonising civil servants. The stupid cunts will probably make a load of people redundant and then have to pay consultants three or four times the amount to get work done. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Renton 24246 Posted Thursday at 19:55 Share Posted Thursday at 19:55 Hope your okay Alex. Wondering if it's such a good idea to join an arms length government body myself tbh, what with NHSE biting the bullet. Am hoping that the because the very purpose of my role is to rationalise cost saving in the NHS I'll be okay but I've got fuck all protection if this isn't the case. Ah well, we'll see. I fucking hate these constant reorganisation incoming governments feel the need to do whilst achieving bot all except unsettling the staff or worse. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
