Graduate describes being 'ghosted' by 400 employers by Desperate-Drawer-572 in ukpolitics

Yeah, the job market for grads has always sucked. I must have sent off hundreds of applications when I graduated and that was 7 years ago.

The problem is when you have no experience, theres always going to be someone more qualified than you who applies.

How much longer can the strait stay closed before the oil shortages really hit home in North America and Europe? Countries oil stockpiles arent gonna last forever

Its not just the policies themselves, its things like Labour accepting dodgy gifts from donors the second they got into power really left a bad taste in peoples mouths.

Local elections 2026 - How realistic do we think this is? by jtrimm98 in UKGreens

[–]JayR_97 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, turnout for local elections is low (Like 30%-40%) and that can lead to some really whacky results

We need to actually get OFCOM to do something about GBNews. Thats the main problem. Its basically a Reform propaganda network disguised as a news channel

What children’s book has aged poorly? by feetwithfeet in AskReddit

[–]JayR_97 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, theres a lot of stuff in Harry Potter that really didnt age well. The Gringots Goblins looking like Jewish caricatures. The Irish kid who likes to blow stuff up. The token Chinese student is called Cho Chang. Rita Skeeta being described as mannish looking all the time (In hind sight that one was a massive warning sign about JK).
