Gen-X remainer. I post a lot about politics. I’d like a world where I could post more about Perl and programming, but it’s been a while since my anger at Brexit and this UK government has left space for that. #remain #european #fbpe

My wife just asked “what’s perlmonks?” To which I replied it’s makes Reddit look like a walk in the park with Richard and Judy for its way of just flaming newbies to hell and back for the audacity of asking a simple question

Well you seen how they used to load gun powder into a cannon yes? They have a big ram and they basically keep mushing that fat fuck until he fits.

They are reaching a level of competence that only a party run by Corbyn can achieve.

So how would this work in practice? Is that the initial years investment? What about grandfathering rules and after the first year? What if the 5k grows faster than the rest? Do we need to rebalance? How about just stay out of peoples finances and make the process as simple as possible.

So I assume they won’t be putting up council tax one penny and have a budget surplus. I think I can find £75,000 in savings they could be making if not.

I’m sure that extra 140Bn of GDP would have gone a long way

Just think, if we hadn’t brexited, we probably wouldn’t be talking about tax rises and budget holes now.

They’re all so arrogant as to assume because they won big last time they will continue to do so next time.

The key take from the election is that ‘anyone but Reform’ is effective. Just not for those parties aping Reform.

I’d rather we had PR than FPTP even if that means 35% of the seats end up reform. As then at least 65% aren’t reform.

Any party sticking with FPTP is just voting for continuation of the vote corruption because it works for them.

Let it go bankrupt. Then take it into public ownership. What are the bond holders going to do? Dig the pipes out of the ground?

A water company that’s dumping sewage in the sea on a regular basis shouldn’t be paying bonuses and dividends. If that means it’s uninvestable then perhaps it shouldn’t be a for profit public company then.

If this was England, someone from the council would come along and require them to rebuild the demolished building brick by brick back to exactly how it was before they demolished it

the year is 2030. the white house remains half demolished because president trump refused to pay construction workers and musk gutted government spending. two thieves sneak into the white house using a truck mounted ladder and steal the constitution
