https://archive.ph/79m4N Decent article from The Athletic on the contract saga

Wor kid's bought a hoose.

Thinking of applying to labour for a job if that's the competition?

This is honking. They're rightly getting a kicking for it being sexist, but it's also absolutely shite.

Sounds like a problem for little shit clubs that aren't backed by a Saudi government. No concern of mine.

Isak and Schar are gonna rip these apart.

Why not just say no replays after the third round?

Similar thing happened with my mam, she had a supporting letter from a high ranking professor at the RVI who'd been treating her for years (years she should have been on PIP/disability benefits and didn't want to 'cause problems'). She was knocked back, due to a lack of sufficient evidence supporting her claim, which was laughable on it's own. She had to have a phone conversation with someone from DWP when we appealed, and a phone call with my mam is all it would take any rational person to realise she is pretty severely disabled. This still wasn't enough apparently, and when the tribunal date was announced they relented and awarded her PIP. Probably because they couldn't be arsed attending, and they knew they'd lose. Luckily, my mam and dad weren't broke so the wait didn't ruin them financially, but most people aren't that fortunate.

We also had similar grief with the DWP and pip. Absolute lying, (proven lying) cunts who couldn't even be arsed to show up when it eventually went to an independent tribunal just the six very stressful months later.

They also, do not care for man city. Plus, I thought it was always us that put ourselves back in our place by being shite. Learn something new every day.

The mackems love man utd as well as everton it appears. They do not, however, care for Coventry marras.

Also don't discount people taking their own lives because of the stress this puts on under. My sister was profoundly disabled and switched to PIP where she got a completely inapropriate assessment, which caused her huge anxiety and financial stress. She only got what she had a right too once she had a terminal diagnosis with 6 months estimated to live. She didn't last even that long, so well done DWP, a little victory for you.

Public stoning and permaban for @LondonBlue if they don't win it.

Hope he's back for the post season games in Melbourne, he's my son's favourite player.

Luckily I think these reforms are pledges that he will enact if he wins the election. It doesn't seem like much of a vote winner to me and like any post-election pledge he may make, he's never going to have to carry it out.

That would track considering he's proper mentally deficient so probably isn't housebroken yet.

What is the end game for them? Try to get more people back into work to try and massage the employment rates so when the election rolls around they can say look at how good the employment rates are now thank to us? Because even if that's the short term thinking they're adopting then all Labour need to do is go, yes but look at the latest statistics on sick leave and the spike in reported incidents to the HSE as a result of you forcing people back into work who were not fit and well enough to be there. It's clear they don't give a fuck about the people they are supposed to govern, but no matter how they try to spin this it's going to be catastrophic as most people already think they are horrible cunts for planning this cut to disability benefits but by the time of the election the stats are going to evidence the negative impact it's had. The longer they go without calling the election the pace in which they are moving towards extinction picks up. So not only evil but chin dribblingly stupid too which is terrifying. Thank fuck we'll be shot of them soon.

Sorry to hear that, it's disgraceful. This country is such a shit show.

He looks like he’s in the middle of shitting his keks

An southern Englishman is living in Ireland and whenever he hears about 'the little people' and other such tales he politely smiles but grimaces a bit inside. One day he sees an advert in his local paper offering a talking dog for sale, price €20 to a good home. The Englishman shakes his head then sees the address is just around the corner. Smiling to himself he thinks he'll pop along as he's not busy and call the seller's bluff. He knocks on the door and asks if this is the right address for the talking dog. Irishman: "Yes it certainly is, sir, he's in the backyard." The Irishman takes him to a pokey backyard with a small kennel and a bored looking dog just lying there. The Englishman smiles and addresses the dog.... Englishman: "So you must be the talking dog I've heard about?" Straight away the dog looks up and says, "Aye, that's me, mate.' Flabbergasted the man looks around for trick microphones but doesn't see any. The Irishman says he'll leave him for ten minutes so he can chat privately with the dog. Englishman: "How the hell did you learn to talk?" The dog replies, "Well, I've no idea really, I must've just picked it up as a pup listening to my owners. Englishman: "What did your owners think?" Dog: "Well they were a bit unsure what to do so took me to the Garda for their opinion. The Garda offered to take me off their hands and look after and train me so I ended up working at Dublin airport, eavesdropping on potential terrorists and drug smugglers and letting the garda know." Englishman: "That's amazing!" Dog: "One day my handler said that the CIA had heard about me and paid the Garda four million dollars for my services so I ended up in the whitehouse and Camp David just moping around like a regular dog but eavesdropping on any foreign diplomats like the Russians. Obviously they taught me the language so I spoke fluent russian as well as English. They'd let their guard down and chat about their plans and intentions and I'd tell my CIA handler at a daily debrief." Englishman: "Wow, that's amazing!" Dog: "It was a pretty good life I have to say, they bought me an amazing condo kennel with a little pool outside, I ended up hooking up with a showbusiness dog who was playing lassie and I had the best grub you could eat." Englishman: "So what are you doing here?" Dog: "Ah, you know how it is, I got a bit bored and homesick so after a couple of years of good service they arranged for me to come back home. The man who lives here picked me up at the Dublin cat and dog shelter." At that moment the man came back in the yard and the Englishman can't help himself.. Englishman: "Good god, man! Why on earth are you selling a dog like this for only €20?!" The Irishman replies, "Sure he's a lying cunt, he never did any of that shit."

They must know that they’re fucking toast, they must. Which makes shit like that, and small boats, and Rwanda, etc etc all the more jaw droppingly malicious, as they know they’ve got little hope of it lasting, if they get in to law at all. Take reducing disability benefits- without even going into the rights or wrongs of reducing it, let’s say they force it through just before they get booted to fuck, and people in receipt of that benefit suffer a cut in 3-4payments until the GE. Even if Labour reinstated the previous level of payment, on their first day in power, that’ll already be too late for 10s of thousands of people who will now be in debt because of the cut. It’s just so unfathomably evil and unnecessary, especially when you look at how much public money was given to their pals during the pandemic to fail to produce products or services. They truly are fucking scum.

My daughter has just been refused PIP as they don't accept that she is unfit to work even though she was medically retired from her job at PHE as she was unable to work, evidence she produced along with her Dr's statement that she was unfit to work. Just a straight your application is declined. Still waiting for UB after 2 months

Another method may have been to try to fix our massively fucked healthcare system? Oh now I'm talking crazy.
