  1. The idea of "legacy contracts" has been a significant driver in Management being able to divide and conquer across various sectors in recent years. I could show you a random hundred Prison Officers, and there would be at least four, maybe as many as ten sets of T&Cs being adhered to - by Staff who are facing the same risks day after day, and for whom solidarity is not just a slogan, it's a vital component of their safety. This fragmenting of Staff alsomakes collective bargaining a fucking nightmare.
  2. Two issues with your last sentence: 1. "Historically"? 2. "a bit"?
  3. Aye, fucking H&S gone mad, innit? Until the first factory burns down, or the first office worker gets fried by the office microwave.
  4. There's a fair few wee brown folk been having that "lived experience" for a few decades now. Understandably ignored by the GBP, but now there's some folk "like us" having their country destroyed, you'd think we(as a Nation) would be paying attention..
  5. Fair play to the Heil, that's more Excess territory.
  6. Not according to Raaaaaab. They've brought the "lock em up and throw away the key" strategy out again. Pity they can't staff the jails any more. Apparently HMPPS now see Amazon and the big supermarkets as direct competitors for labour. Someday soon, this is going to go badly, badly wrong, and I'm fucking glad to be getting out in one (slightly battered) piece.
  7. ..and more and more people, many in full-time employment, have reached that point already. It isn't getting any better, either. In what we are repeatedly told is a prosperous nation, that is fucking obscene.
  8. Neither is unbelievable, but this is a pretty crowded field. No matter the current form, mind, I'd have my normal five-pound "saver" on that oily wee cúnt Penfold Francois.
  9. Coungt me in on that as well. One of the few bright spots was having these types getting to understand the difference between "ex-pats" and "immigrants". i.e. none. The "discrimination" those pesky foreign airports are practising raises a wee smile, too.
  10. Massively relieved to see that you're alright, @Hoose Rice. For all the sniping and whingeing, P&B is a big family, and as such we absolutely care for each other. @Andy Dufresne, massive credit for your swift actions.
  11. Oh, that ship sailed many months ago. At least that bitch was competent. And had the decency to die.
  12. Well enough to avoid the TV show, the films, the spin of shows, the "rebooted" films, and most of all the kind of people who think dressing up as aliens to meet up in some provincial conference centre is normal behaviour.
  13. Haven't got a gif, but that wee welcome to Scottish football is absolutely burned into my memory. Lovely stuff.
  14. Mrs WRK has spent years asking me why I'm watching "that stupid low-budget shite". (I'm a long-term fan) She was absolutely buckled for a good ten minutes after watching Ramsey and Horne getting battered by chipolatas. That Geordie lad is adding plenty of value with his mad games this series.
