As always, things will focus more on vibes and credentialism than critical thinking, because conspiracy theories are a mainstay of all the ‘serious’ papers and conspiracy itself is just how power has functioned for the last few centuries
I feel like before I can form an opinion, I need to see the outfit in question. There is a description, but it’s not very detailed and not exactly from a neutral source. As described though, it sounds like she was dressed like Dr. Frankenfurter, with a choker instead of a pearl necklace. Which… Yea, that’s not a workplace outfit for a civil servant.
But then again, it could be tame as hell. I have no idea. Because despite writing an article about it, apparently a photo is just too much to expect from modern journalism.
It does make me wonder if they know what fetish gear looks like but going by the photo of the Baroness, I doubt she’d recognised it if it walked up to her in the street and asked for her safe word.
Depending on the dress code, this is, at best, an HR issue but it seems like the Tory press are trying to make it the next front in the culture war. We should take a leaf out of the Democrat’s playbook and refuse to engage them, as this is just weird.
Obviously he doesn’t spend enough time causing issues for his own companies and country, that he has to try and stir shit across the pond to cure his boredom.
How about doing something good with that spare time for once?
My favourite local Chinese takeaway has stickers on the menu saying the prices aren’t accurate, presumably because they got a big batch printed and don’t fancy binning them. As they don’t have an online presence, you have to order by phone or in person, so you never know how much it’s going to cost. Despite this, they are always run off their feet as the food is a level above the competitions - the salt and pepper siu mai are divine.
I mean I get that prices have gone up, but it's not difficult or costly these days to print out correct pricing for accurate up to date, in store menus, should someone call in for an order, remind them over the phone prices have changed, and tell them what each item will cost when they order it, anything other is shady as fuck, no matter how good the food is, it would probably annoy me to the point of going elsewhere. Probably. Unless they sold huge old school new york take out egg rolls as big as half your arm, if they did that I'd turn my pockets inside out until lint fell out.
I suspect I’ve got a bad read on this, but I mean… if you’re going to do it, wouldn’t you want someone to do it with too? Companionship in those final moments?
Maybe ‘The Seventh Continent’ had the wrong impression on me.

I’d have thought that the least worst answer is to legalise assisted dying. It won’t be easy getting the balance right, and I know disability campaigners are especially concerned about it, but it has to be better than having a “suicide buddy” website that is wide open to abuse.
Yeah. Got to be better. Also rather than banning this website, wouldn’t it be better to look into what is driving people to suicide? I’m guessing a lot of it is social, health and economic conditions that could be addressed by government if they truly cared and weren’t just moralising.
Increased tuition fees? I guess 50k in debt isn’t enough punishment for a decision 18 year olds are pressured to make.
Are European universities struggling as much? Because my (same age) co-workers say they only had a few thousand in debt for their entire courses, so there must be another way of doing things.
It’s strange to me that people working there apparently have relatively frequent strokes. Am I underestimating how many strokes people doing difficult physical labor generally have (my impression was “not many”) or is there something uniquely dangerous about the Amazon warehouses?
It’s unclear and you’d need a lot more data to draw any kind of conclusions - not just the rate in the general population (for the age group) as well as those working similar jobs. It would be unusual to find a lot of strokes in working age people but a friend of mine had one at work.kn her late 40s (but she had a genetic predisposition - her father died at the same age from a heart attack).
The suggestion has been that the working conditions in Amazon factories is especially brutal because the packers are standing for such long periods of time with few breaks and have high targets they need to hit leading to considerable stress. The TUC have a page on working conditions at fulfilment centres.
It's unfortunate that they missed out on Trade Union recognition at the Coventry facility recently. I'm sure GMD (or others) will keep on trying though.
