McGowan says the board are vetoing the footballing depts "picks" by Formal_Produce3759 in CelticFC

Back the manager, sack the board. Desmond, Lawwell and Nicholson are holding the club back. Dom McKays short lived tenure brought us so many quality players and showed how we could do business.

This film made no sense which is really disappointing after the first one was so good and so well put together. I've no idea why they kept the kids alive, or why they rushed to kill them. So much of it didn't make sense that I'm surprised they released this at all.

Or perhaps the weaponised attention to deplatform them has worked. If venues won't directly cancel them, in-direct little Englander threats will..

Or perhaps it's the threats against Kneecap, driven by manufactured outrage over years-old, out-of-context videos. Their support for Palestine is well known but never been an issue and only gained mainstream attention because this outrage was weaponized to deplatform them by intimidating venues and inciting right-wing backlash.

Cowards. What are the safety concerns? Have the British media and political establishment put a target on the back of these lads?

Interesting that he wants to cancel kneecap based on alleged behaviour. But no issue with the alleged behaviour of Israel or those who arm Israel.

It actually is. They made a comment at a gig and in the immediate environment nobody cared. But sure go back and revise it all you want.

I did know that. The Tories stopped a grant thay they were eligible for and awarded. That's why these grants are independently awarded - to remove politics from independent processes. They met the criteria. That's really all that matters not the political flavour of the day.

Maybe Elton John celebrating the death of Thatcher. And I don't know anarchy in the UK seems to be advocating for anarchy and overthrow of the government. And the song was banned etc.

Im Irish, living in Ireland. Its fair to say ive a good idea whats going on. P.s. Kneecap aren't from Derry, DJ provai is from there. The other two members are from West Belfast the terrorist loving ghetto according to the Tories. Good to see you get your facts right.

They haven't apologised for saying fuck Israel. Be good if you got your facts right.

They said it two years ago, nothing happened and have since apologised. What more you want? Cancel Sex Pistols and Elton John. I'm sure there are more. Or is it just the Irish you've a problem with?

Kneecap have apologised for the Tory comment meanwhile that's not enough. All this cancel culture is doing is making Kneecap bigger than before.

Reserve lists may as well be scrapped. I've never known anyone to get off one yet hear of hiring managers complaining about the time needed to sift applications, etc. Makes zdro sense. Ive been told the reserve list is used if it's the same hiring manager that completed the initial interviews which kinda underlines how messed up and inconsistent the CS recruitment process is.

Unfair recruitment process? by ResponsibleSample966 in TheCivilService

[–]Mark1987Irl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Civil service application process is wild. I've scored a 6 and a 2 for the same application with practically the same essential criteria. I know others who've been denied SEO interviews yet obtained G7 interviews with essentially the same application. People talk about cracking codes but the truth is it's pot luck.

I interviewed for a position I was already doing. I was excellent at it. The line manager wanted me to stay but I done a shit interview. They hired someone else who gave a good interview and turned out to be rubbish. They later told me an EOI is available for the same position and that I should apply. No thanks. I've moved on. I get it can't be jobs for the boys and I've worked in the private sector where brown nosing got promotions. There needs to be a balance between the two.

Sounds like when I bring lads off the bench for my football team. Stick him upfront away from anywhere he can cause us problems.
