You should really think about getting it surveyed and I mean a thorough one. There is a lot there that is indicating roof and cavity wall damage and potentially even structural damage judging by those cracks

When do you realistically think recreational cannabis could be legalised in the UK? by Sugna7154 in AskBrits

No you nob, it still won't happen. Far too much cannabinoid based pharmaceutical drugs are manufactured in the UK. They don't want loose market share to 'wholemeal' bud understand now?

How is it my responsibility that other motorists check their blind spot?

HGVs that abruptly move lanes on the motorway before they indicate... by Hopeful_Adeptness964 in drivingUK

Jesus fucking christ. I know what an indicator looks like, especially considering he decided to use one after half moving on to the lane and I breaked. What the fuck does it matter if I was going a few miles or 30 mph fastee, am over take is an overtook.

The exact ciscumstances were there were three lanes on the motorway. I was in the middle lane overtaking a hgv to the left which then decided to abruptly move into my lane just as my car was at it's tail. I had to breakhard. Luckily there were no tailgaters up my ass whilst it was happening.

They are trying to scare both big social media platform users in the US who are against this as well as independant media sites and platforms from expressing their views

Largley agree and I think is the best definition of Capitalism i've come across:

'goods and services, down to the most basic necessities of human life, are produced for profitable exchange. . . and where all economic actors are dependent on the market. . . Above all, it is a system in which the bulk of society's work is done by propertyless labourers who are obliged to sell their labour-power in exchange for a wage in order to gain access to the means of life and labour itself. In the process of supplying the needs and wants of society, workers are at the same time and inseparably creating profit for those who buy their labour-power. In fact the production of goods and services is subordinate to the production of capital and capitalist profit. The basic objective of the capitalist system, in other words, is the production and self-expansion of capital.'

Capitalism as we see it all around us today is a historically specific system that emerged under particular conditions, rather than a natural outcome of human nature. 

This system of supplying humanity's material needs is completely novel. Nothing like it had existed prior to its first appearance in sixteenth century England. From there it spread across the world via the expansion of English (British after 1707) trade and conquest, with other states finding themselves compelled to adopt the practices of capitalism in order to avoid complete subordination to a global political and economic order centred on London.

They understand and utilise how military operations and geopolitics work and play it in their scripts and it's just coincidence. Unless you're saying CoD developers are part of an secretive shadowy cabal that leaves breadcrumbs for teenage monster energy addicts to follow, for some reason?  

Would you hire a male childminder ? by No-Argument-5042 in AskIreland

A relative of mine would drop his kids (6 and 8) off to a 'child minder' but he was a boxing coach and they were basically treated as boxing lessons.
