  • It wasn’t just the smear campaign against Corbyn though. He did quite a lot of shooting himself in the foot as well, which really didn’t help matters.

    But really none of that should matter to Labour, the media are for the most part in the pockets of the right anyway so who cares what they say. Most Labour voters won’t read those papers anyway.

    What’s pissing off a lot of traditional Labour voters is all this fence sitting he is trying to do. People elected a liberal government, so obviously they are going to be expecting some liberal policies, that was what they voted for, that’s what they wanted. If they wanted someone to sit on the fence and ruminate about every possible decision the Liberal Democrats are right there. The reason that the Greens didn’t get a lot of votes this time around was because people didn’t want to split the vote, but if Labour are just going to be Tory Lite (although frankly not that lite) then who cares, we might as well risk it because otherwise we’ll end up with a right-wing government either way. It baffles me that no one in Labour HQ can see that.

    I honestly think that if labour just fall on lent into it, they would probably get way more votes than they currently do.


  • Well that was obvious from the start. By all means arrest people who commit crimes but calling those crimes terrorism was insanely stupid.

    It wasn’t even done any particularly sinister reason, it was just them being dumb. Terrorism charges obviously carries longer prison sentences, but that in no way benefited the government, so there was no reason for them to do that. They just came off looking bad at a time when they really needed their public image to improve. I’ve said this before but it bears repeating because every time a story like this comes out it makes labour look like the US republicans but they’re not. They’re just really really really really stupid.

    Starmer used to be a human rights lawyer, so I don’t understand how he’s so bad at his job.




  • The level 1 agents are always useless.

    I don’t know a single call centre where the level 2 agents don’t constantly complain about the utter incompetence of the level 1 agents, who appear to have never even used a mouse before.

    They escalate tickets such as “the users screen is upside down”, and “callers operating system has changed to papyrus needs to be changed back”. Things that could have been fixed by both the first line service agent, and the caller, if either of them had bothered to do a 4 second Google search.


  • Hello my account is locked out.

    *Checks the account, last login was 45 days ago

    Oh I see here that your last login was quite a while ago so your account has probably been disabled due to inactivity you should have received some emails about that.

    Oh, I don’t read emails you should have messaged me on teams.

    *Bangs head on desk

    It’s an automated system, we don’t know your account is going to get locked out. There are 5,000 people at this company, no one’s going to take the time to explicitly contact you. Read your damn emails.


  • I don’t know who you’re calling an idiot back in the early 2000s I had a phone that died because it got rained on. Not even a lot of rain.

    Waterproofing is necessary just generally. Even if you assume it’s never going to get dropped in a puddle it needs to be splash proof at least.






  • That’s the problem in the UK, it only really heavily snows one year in five so it isn’t profitable or economical to really invest in things like snow tires and snow ploughs, so whenever there is significant snow it does kind of cause everything to grind or halt. The alternative is to buy a bunch of snow equipment that needs constant maintenance throughout a winter where it doesn’t get below 3°C, and nothing more exciting than a lot of rain happens.
