Basically poor kids aren't allowed to go on holiday. Aren't allowed to go during term time, can't afford to go during holidays. It's such a dystopic rule.
Shoreditch is more East by North East I'd say.
can't believe it's been a year! feels like much longer, it's already quite a mature community with a good set of rules enforced fairly. thanks to the mods and admins for all the hard work <3
Green policies really don't make sense. You have Green councillors opposing wind farms.
Not really a fan of her being in the Labour party. Think that was quite unnecessary -- Starmer is going to win the next election with or without this woman. And what specifically about the Labour Party's aims and values resonate with her? When you join the Labour party as a member, it's not like subscribing to Amazon Prime. It means you have to actually agree to the aims and values of the Labour Party as described in Clause IV, which begins "The Labour Party is a democratic socialist party," and includes things like "promotes equality of opportunity" and "delivers people from ... prejudice". Does she agree with any of that? I'm very confused as to how a right wing ERG member could possibly want to join a democratic socialist party, let alone agree with its broader aims and values.
The merit of permitting her to cross the aisle and sit as a Labour MP is obvious, but so is the cost. I didn't like it when all those antisemites joined under Corbyn's leadership, and I don't like this now.
Yeah, my general philosophy on phones these days is to use the OEM rom until either it gets slow and rubbish, or it stops getting updates, then switch to LineageOS or something. OnePlus has done a pretty decent job of not making my phone shitter every time it gets an update, so the OEM rom has lasted much longer than I expected. I reckon with a custom rom it'll last me another 2-3 years at least, which is great value for a phone I bought 3 years ago for £290.
Honestly this is better than nothing and very welcome for me. Not often I say good things about Michael Gove but he's done a great job on this and the cladding fiasco.
The real thing that cripples me as a leaseholder though is the service charges, which have doubled since I bought the place. The whole thing is a total con.
Thanks, that at least makes some sense!
Even in her "apology" and longer "clarification" it's incredibly hard to understand what her substantial point is. I bet you could give her 10 years to try to explain how the Sydney stabbing was in any serious way related to pro-Palestine marches and it still wouldn't make sense. Does she tweet the same thing any time there is a stabbing somewhere in the world? "Oh look, a stabbing in South Korea -- perfect time to tweet about intifada?"
Frankly I think they are still too expensive for most people up front. It's a lot cheaper to run if you can charge at home, but if you can't afford the extra £5k-£10k vs an equivalent petrol car then you're not going to buy it. New EVs in particular are overpriced IMO, whereas the used market is actually pretty good value right now. There's just no point in spending £37k-42k on a new Kia Niro EV when you can get a 3 year old model for £15k-20k that's just as good.
But of course it's optional? I don't understand why it's scandalous that they've put that in the middle? Did you want it in the headline?
I looked into spray foam insulation but not only were there lots of risks, but it was more expensive than traditional warm roof insulation with PIR boards or similar. I do think people should research what they put in their own homes as it wasn't hard to find information that ruled out spray foam insulation fairly quickly.
Having said that, there is clearly some sort of regulatory gap here as not being able to mortgage your home is a very serious consequence of a relatively small and seemingly innocuous home improvement decision.
