Calm down.
Yes people's contradictory stances and thought processes are amusing. The situation in the US right now and the actuality of these stupid peoples in government making decisions is obviously not amusing. Similar to people taking amusement from Trumps words rather than his actions. Weird and nasty reach from you tbh.
I'm absolutely calm, but there's no rule to say I cannot judge whether someone is an absolute idiot. Nothing, absolutely nothing in the remainder of the post I lifted "amused" from concerns anything but people using their power to make other, less powerful people's lives poorer at best and non-existent at worst. Forgive me, but I fail to see the humour.

Something that's always amused me with right wing American politics and it's supporters is the contradiction that they're anti abortion as "it's not mans choice to choose to kill" etc.. but then when it comes to the death penalty they're fully bricked up at the idea of executing people. I'd imagine most are extremely pro war too, seems it's pro life as long as that life is an American foetus not a foreign black brown or anything between fully grown human. Let's not even begin with the excitement they get from killing people "in self defence"...
"Amused" you? Give your head a shake, ffs.

Johnson is a shallow self publicist - posher than Trump but same play book. Not a fucking clue.
"As was pointed out at the time by one of Mr Johnson’s transport advisers at City Hall, Andrew Gilligan, free travel for pensioners was introduced by the Greater London Council in 1973.
When the GLC was dissolved in the mid-1980s, the pass was then funded by the 33 London boroughs, and it was not until the 1990s that it was branded the Freedom Pass.
In 2010, it was decided that the age of eligibility of the Freedom Pass would rise on an escalator in line with the retirement age of women, rather than at the age of 60.
In 2012, when Johnson was London mayor, he introduced a bridging pass that allowed someone who turned 60 to gain the free travel privileges as a pensioner up until they receive a Freedom Pass.
It is this that he is claiming to have introduced in his ITV interview.
Under the terms of the travel card, pass holders were entitled to travel on all Transport for London services at any time, including peak hours.
But in June 2020, Mr Johnson’s government brought an end to the 24-hr Freedom Pass as a result of the pandemic. As one of the conditions for giving TfL a bailout due to plunging passenger numbers during the Covid outbreak, the Government insisted that Freedom Passes were only eligible after 9.30am." (i News, May 3 2022)
So, basically,
1. The fat lying cúnt did not introduce free travel, or even re-brand it as the "Freedom Pass"
2. No fiddling around the edges of terms and cons made any difference to this particular lady's eligibility.
3. At the first opportunity, his Goernemnt rescinded this facility - because pensioners could just drive to the supermarket, right?
This should be front-page in all papers, and on every news bulletin on radio and TV. As his easily-provable lies about the twenty-plus thousand lives thrown under the bus in the care-home scandal have largely escaped scrutiny, I won't hold my breath.

Johnson has, from the clips I've just watched, been absolutely ragdolled by Susannah Reid. Susannah fucking Reid.
No wonder they don't let the fúcker out in the wild when there's cameras about.

I know a couple of people who work in the civil service and they've been working from home the whole way through apart from a week or two downtime while they waited for laptops to be delivered right at the start.
The problems they seem to have encountered have arisen in areas like the passport office where parts of the job are still paper-based thanks to Auntie Jean insisting on filling in a hard copy application form from the post office rather than applying online.
'Twould have been interesting seeing my branch of the CS working from home..*
Just to put in my anecdotal two penn'orth on the passport renewal - mine took just over a fortnight, most of which was down to having to send the old one in by snail mail, to make its physical trip through their office mail system.
It is nice though, after the whole Pandemic malarkey, to get back to the traditional Public Sector-bashing. Thank goodness I'm picking up my gold-plated** pension in a couple of weeks. I can finally buy that island I've had my eye on.
*In seriousness, plenty of non-prisoner facing jobs were (and still are) being done remotely, with no noticeable dip in quality.
**Not actually gold-plated. Finish on the Friday, start new job on the Monday.

TV and Radio schedules changing because "its a bank holiday"
f**k off, I am self employed - its just a Monday.
I've spent all day getting confused as to why there's no post, the council haven't emailed me back about that job, no-one's answering at the school my missus has someone in cleaning tonight...
Fucking normal people and their fucking time off..

You’re right. Yes, all the ironfounding and aluminium factories closed down as times changed but, in general, with a move to lighter industries and services, people have prospered and working conditions are immeasurably better.
Its called progress.
when I was growing up, almost everyone lived in a council house but that has changed with the desire to get on, better oneself and own property. It’s not all good but, by and large, I have seen massive improvements to living standards throughout all sectors of the population and long may that continue.
I can't help but notice one sector where there has been undeniable growth.
Can you guess? Rymes with mood tanks.
Fucking selfish, uncaring, imaginary tosspot. Even to type this shite as part of some online gag is indefensible.

No offence mate, but you come across as rather seething yourself?
People having different points of view is normal in life. Accept it and take a chill pill.
Not seething at all. I just don't like sanctimonious c***s with absolutely no empathy.

Echo chamber, is it? Strange, then, that you only start coming on here regularly once the arse dropped out of the Covid thread. Strangely, outside of that wee backwater, the greenies aren't going to be quite as easy to come by for you. Shame, that.I would hope that you could afford to lose that salary because you'd certainly do so.
On principle I wouldn't be a landlord at all under any circumstances.
I think it's completely immoral.
I see housing as a scarce resource and it's not acceptable for people to own more than they need. Allowing people to do so, especially Buy To Let is the root cause of our housing problem. Unfortunately it's not solvable because politicians from every single party are balls deep in these types of investments.
Instead of assuming my view on things, why not just ask?
No idea what your anti-immigration point is. That isn't even a structured sentence. It seems that like Whitey, you just want to rant. In his case, everyone who disagrees with him is a c**t. In your case, you just go off on incoherent rants.
No fucking wonder this thread is an echo chamber.
On the positive side, this discussion is clearly annoying just the right type of people so it's not all bad news. [emoji38]
Those who I disagree with on here cover a broad spectrum,and I've had engaging debates with many over the years. Those who are just contrarian dicks who think displaying a lack of common decency makes them somehow relevant or edgy are a much smaller group, and get treated with the contempt they deserve. There's not that many of them, but I'll certainly admit you're in that category for me.6 -

As this thread is becoming tedious might I suggest that I am happy to wager £100 that there will NOT be a referendum by the end of 2023.
If there is one, I will pay the money to a charity of choice as named by the separatists on here.What the fúck would a charity do with imaginary money?

That is insane.
No council should be footing a bill that size just for accommodation for a single family.
That is way beyond what could be called a reasonable amount.
That house is absolutely immaculate and way beyond most people's income. Nobody on benefits should be expecting a house like that.
It's this sort of thing which fuels anti-immigration sentiment in the country. Be careful what you wish for folks.
Couldn't you perhaps try being a cúnt five days a week and have weekends off for a while - see how it goes? You may find your seethe levels and BP dropping.
Nobody's asking you to actually meet poor people, ffs. Just let folk get on with their "virtue signalling"* when it's not affecting you personally, eh?
*or "being decent human beings" as the rest of us call it.

None around our way (East Yorkshire), which is a wee bit odd, but I saw a couple of martins flitting around the admin building in the nick this morning. Hopefully they're just stuck in post-Brexit passport queues..Anyone seen swallows yet ? Not one around Ayrshire (in my usual spots anyway) which is very odd.
ETA: Yes, I know they don't winter in the EU..

If I were you, going three down in the first quarter of an hour of one of your team's two biggest home league fixtures for decades would leave a bigger scar. Ayr fans leaving after twenty minutes wasn't a good look, either.shite season .hope this is the last game for us tonight .think we can all agree the killie crowdwanking has been the worst thing about this season .

As an SNP member I would want and expect and SNP MP, MSP or Councillor who did anything like this to be dealt with quickly and effectively regardless of the embarrassment it might cause the party.
Absolutely. The reports specifying that two Labour front-benchers are under investigation? Good. It doesn't matter what the affiliation is - a wrong 'un is a wrong 'un. If half, or more than half, of those under investigation are in Opposition, then so be it. Get them dealt with.
(Although were I to have a choice, I'd like one of them to be that self-righteous, self-aggrandisingcherry-picker Lammy).

Sorry, I still fail entirely to see where any of this is amusing.
Also, "pro-abortion"? I'll be as generous as I can here and say that your communication skills could do with improving. Maybe not batter into grown-up subjects like this when you think they're "amusing", and can't even muster a sensible stance on the issue - even if it were one which I disagreed with.
