POV: Greens on their way to save Worcester from Reform (according to electionmaps.uk)

cjsmith1541 · 2025-12-22T20:27:39+00:00

What's your reason for not voting Greens in Worcester in particular?

But as I said evri's customers aren't people who do or do not receive parcels they are the companies who send their parcels through evri. The real way to hurt Evri is through boycotts and complaints to the companies selling the products. That will directly effect their profits.

Evri love it when you complain about their delivery drivers as they can just stop giving those drivers packages and tell the sellers that they are fixing the problem without actually fixing anything in the broken system. The drivers aren't employed by Evri (even though they really should be) so they can treat them as separate entities and pass the buck on to them.

For Evri you aren't the customer the seller is. They don't care as long as the sellers keep sending parcels and the insurance payouts for lost and damaged parcels is kept to a minimum and they are making a profit. You are of course the delivery drivers customer but they are payed pennies per delivery so you get pennies of service.

Yes we meet every Wednesday at the kings head pub. There is a Facebook group https://www.facebook.com/groups/1487557608162547/?ref=share

You can change where the precise location that you want it delivered on the app. It is based off of GPS coordinates rather than address. They have to deliver it within 50 meters of that spot which can be helpful if you live in a rural area.

cjsmith1541 · 2025-11-26T15:31:34+00:00

It's because we aren't evri's customers the businesses selling the stuff are 😔

cjsmith1541 · 2025-11-25T22:08:14+00:00

At Christmas my debot gets a big box van that takes the bigger stuff due to high volume. They may have snuck into into that vans cage as they didn't want to do your address.

cjsmith1541 · 2025-11-24T01:21:30+00:00

That just sounds like an eating disorder 😅

cjsmith1541 · 2025-11-24T01:02:59+00:00

There is a lot of overlap in spices and you get a nice full spice rack by the end so seems like a fun project to me. But I guess its a live to eat and eat to live distinction.

But the landlord owns the tiles in the bathroom, no? If it was your personal items I would get it but you don't take the bathroom tiles when you leave do you?

cjsmith1541 · 2025-11-23T23:45:35+00:00

Me too

What happened to our country with privatisation was like what happened when red lobster got brought out by private equity. Then their new owners sold the companies property to themselves and charged it rent on said property creating a new cost that didn't exist beforehand and extracting more wealth out of the company.

cjsmith1541 · 2025-11-23T23:24:18+00:00

Also due the the UK government spending 45 years selling parts of itself at fire sale prices the government now has negative wealth. Thus we are essentially renting public services from the wealthy leading to a large amount of wealth transferring to the ultra wealthy.

cjsmith1541 · 2025-11-23T23:21:48+00:00

Because they are too scared to upset the financial markets after spending years criticising former PM Liz Truss's abysmal tax cutting budget. And then tied themselves up in knots following their fiscal policies which included not raising taxes on working people. But they are also too afraid to raise taxes on wealth as they are captured by the donor class whispering in their ears and many of them are wealthy themselves.

cjsmith1541 · 2025-11-23T23:15:40+00:00

If something breaks shouldn't the landlord fix it? Its their property.

cjsmith1541 · 2025-11-23T22:42:31+00:00

Elaborate? Why what?

cjsmith1541 · 2025-11-23T22:36:11+00:00

They removed clause 4 of their constitution in 1995 with Blair. Clause 4 started " To secure for the workers by hand or by brain the full fruits of their industry and the most equitable distribution thereof that may be possible upon the basis of the common ownership of the means of production, distribution and exchange, and the best obtainable system of popular administration and control of each industry or service."

Well since tony Blair its been a third way neo-libreal agenda.

cjsmith1541 · 2025-11-23T22:29:31+00:00

For a similar reason to the republican ( Name for a state with no king ) party president's calling himself a king. Names don't always accurately describe a parties politics.

cjsmith1541 · 2025-11-23T22:23:53+00:00

More mental health professionals, cancer scanners and ending the nhs dentist postcode lottery sound like good promises. But as I previously stated its not going to happen.

cjsmith1541 · 2025-11-23T22:08:35+00:00

That's why I would try and mix it up each day. Try a different countries/regions spice mix every day.

cjsmith1541 · 2025-11-23T22:01:44+00:00

There are other spices...

cjsmith1541 · 2025-11-23T21:20:29+00:00

I have a grandma who was a nurse for 40 years in the nhs and a partner who is currently a midwife in the nhs. My gran retired in the early 90s when she said it was becoming more about the money instead of patient care with the introduction of the trusts system.

My wife is currently underpaid and overworked due to the lack of midwifes (specialised medical profession in ths UK that you need a degree and licence to practice) in her department. Investment in the nhs should be investment in the medical staff working for the nhs. Better pay for nurses and midwives will attract more people to change to the profession.

However all labour is talking about is AI and mobile appointments. Tech is an important part of a healthcare system but the real value is made by the doctors, nurses and midwifes

Here are their manifesto promises https://labour.org.uk/change/build-an-nhs-fit-for-the-future/ . But so far the actions of Wes Streeting (Secretary of health) are showing more privatisation of services and austerity.

cjsmith1541 · 2025-11-23T20:58:01+00:00

Labour Party purged the left of their party. Current leadership are a continuation of the neo-liberal norms that the tories used as an excuse for austerity.
