In the news thread

Seriously, though. It’s never going to stop the boats or prevent anyone from getting dodgy underpaid jobs in the grey economy, as Keir would have you believe, but it’s sort of handy if you need proof of ID for something.

“It’s not an ID, it’s an app”

Incoming generic and simple take:

Trump and Netanyahu teaming up for hero status and new world order leader status.

Cushty deals with the aggressors and an ultimatum to the oppressed party (of course, not innocent) and in the common worlds eyes Trump will be the saviour for peace. We all want it to end but fuck, this feels like a big step into massive change for the whole world. How the fuck have we got to a stage where people of sound intelligence are giving such evil morons the stage to do what they want. There are some crazy self preservational mental gymnatstics going on for many influential people who could help stop this dark curtain being pulled across us all.

But in a funny sort of way it might actually work. Trump is a massive narcissist who really wants to win the Nobel Peace Prize. Tony Blair likewise. If they’re doing it for the sake of their giant egos, they might still actually do it.

It’s what comes after is the worrying thing. Like I said, We all want it to end so if this is the way to do it tomorrow then we’re all going to let it happen but it opens up the box which is going to be so much harder to close or contain.

There’s been a terror attack in Manchester this morning.

Depressing that my first thought is Farage tugging one out as he awaits details.

The guy had a beard, he’ll be lucky he doesn’t wank himself into another dimension

Meanwhile we’re now so desensitised to this shit that Sky news is leading their homepage with a body lying in the street completely uncensored.

The image is also on 5 of today’s newspaper front pages.

That is grim. Modern day equivalent of a public hanging.

Horrible. This stuff feels so hard to prevent.

It seems obvious why this might have been done, but it sickens me the lack of publishing photos and bodies being uncensored on news sites had it been the other way round

Only seems fair seeing as so few MPs correctly pay it

Wow, they’re desperate.

If it was for first time buyers or something that might not be a bad policy, but across the board, will mainly benefit the rich, again. And how are they going to fund it?

With evil, cutting disability benefits, selling the NHS, something along those lines.
