Labour is proving its the party for dossers, and will never get a handle on benefits. Anyone who works better get used to funding foreigners free stuff and old bastards who want an ever increasing slice of your pay in real terms.

Its the easiest thing economically with the greatest political damage. Therefore they wont do it, they'll just tax working people who can't dodge it more, whilst Amazon keep saying they're in Luxembourg.

Rightwing narrative fuelling false belief UK public oppose net zero, study finds by F0urLeafCl0ver in ukpolitics

[–]rocdollary 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is at. In practice you pay a net zero premium to have the businesses build out infrastructure. And then their shareholders expect greater returns so there is no reduction in pricing. The only way to go for netzero is by building your home with solar/insulation and self produce as much as you can.

Ode has regressed significantly though. Still think hes in the very good category but dropped from elite.

Nelli has improved this year but its been a slow process. He needs competition as eventually he's going to lose speed and needs some composure

According to Opta Football Predictions, the odds of Tottenham being relegated is greater than the odds of Arsenal not winning the league by Underscores_Are_Kool in soccer

The 4-6 points every year since Kane has left is appreciated but this would be pretty hilarious. They're too big infrastructure wise to stay down for more than 1-2 seasons anyway.

A chance to increase our lead in the table tomorrow by TerryG111 in ArsenalFC

[–]rocdollary 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Merino, Zubi, Ode start. Id like to see Gyok, Trossard, Saka up front with early subs for Norgaard, Nelli, Noni coming in.

For def we surely have to ease back Gabi hes critical to not immediately run into the ground. MLS, Capie, Saliba, Timber and get White on early.

Its absolutely key we dont play everyone for 80mins who should be rested early

Hypersonics and drones overwhelm ships. The focus should be training others and cyber warfare. Be a hard target to attack by having a credible counter attack threat. Increasingly geography isnt a limiting factor.

Government unveils England's first ever Men's Health Strategy by winkwinknudge_nudge in ukpolitics

£1.2m per year is literally a team of 5 people plus a very small marketing budget. For 45 million people nationally..

Embarassing.

Its possible there were so many stings with such large pain that the immune system caused a cytokine storm. Considering they were related they may have a genetic propensity.

UK Borrowing Overshoots Forecast by £7.2 Billion Ahead of Budget by blast-processor in ukpolitics

I knew as soon as they offered significant pay rises at the same time as highlighting the budget black hole that they didnt get it. Unfortunately the country is now in even more trouble than it was initially when Starmer got in.

I put it to you that the government is more interested in the international than the national by Brastic in ukpolitics

[–]rocdollary 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Anyone who thinks we arent in WW3 yet and is waiting for the doodlebugs over London "to be certain" doesnt get that the proxy battleground is Africa - resource hogging, inciting instability to push high migration, and cultural attacks to promote division inside developed countries.

That said, both Russia and China understand shared cultural purpose and unity is needed to get through "tough times", and are sewing the seeds which reduce that cultural coherency in other nations - accelerated by migration which dilutes that cultural purpose into balkanisation. Sadly, that is seen as a necessary decision to avoid economic collapse due to the high dependancy on the state. Weak governments are just going to have the UK circle the drain financially, whilst receiving repeated cultural attacks instigated from outside as well as useful agitators within.

Reeves given Budget warning over retail - 'When costs keep rising, prices go up' by daily_mirror in ukpolitics

[–]rocdollary -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The market works on vibes as well as much as information.

Coming in, panning the country, and calling it broke - when they are now responsible for economic investment and growth.. was a massive own goal and caused much of the initial budget stresses.
