This is about where Quiff is atm, politically speaking

Diy

Didn't have skills, used builder instead.

Has everyone who's had to work from home at any point cos of Coronavirus claimed tax relief on it? Cos you can and it's a piece of piss. I'd forgotten to do it til just now. You only have to have worked from home cos of corona for 1 day in each tax year to claim tax relief for the full year, which is: £62.40 for basic rate taxpayers £124.80 for higher rate taxpayers £140.40 for top rate taxpayers (don't think Chez pays any UK tax ) You don't have to know what the additional costs were, they'll just give relief on a nominal £6 per week... And it's available for the current tax year AND the previous two, as long as you've worked from home during each tax year. You can specify which years you're claiming for though. Anyway, go here: https://www.gov.uk/tax-relief-for-employees/working-at-home

You’re shit at this btw

Added to that, part of the reason for the ongoing lack of acceptance of the referendum result is how close it was, because that makes it all the easier to believe that specific lies in the run-up to the referendum made the difference. If it had been 65-35, well, okay, a sober analysis could still easily attribute that to a deliberate drip-feed of misinformation over a longer period of time, but it wouldn't feel quite as much like daylight robbery. But when it's 51.9-48.1, it's not hard to think that a "TURKEY (population 76 million) IS JOINING THE EU" leaflet on every doormat and a "Britain's new border is with SYRIA and IRAQ" advert on every Facebook feed were enough to tip the scales, and I'll never not be at least a little bit angry about that.

The problem with that statement though is it gives cover to the side that are worst by implying that both sides are the same. Yes, there is spin and dishonesty on all sides of most political arguments, but we're talking 90% on one side here. There's a reason all the professors, scientists and experts lined up on one side of the argument around Brexit - not because they all had vested interests in the outcomes, but because they spend their lives analysing data dispassionately and using it to form evidence based conclusions. Quite how we got to the point where these people's opinions on their specialist subjects should be weighed the same as people who can only be described as dangerously uninformed... I mean I'm not completely certain, but I think it's at least partially from statements like the one you've just made. So the problem then becomes that you have one side that is mostly truthful being compared to a side that is almost always lying. And because people who support the liars aren't idiots, and can see that their side is lying, they feel like they have to assume that "everyone in politics is lying" in order to continue to justify their positions. Not everyone was lying about Brexit - a lot of what Remain said wasn't fake news and we can see that now because it's actually happening. Hardly anyone on 'our side' is lying about the pandemic. Or vaccines. I read plenty of right wing news sources and I can see the areas where the left is disingenuous, but this isn't a left right issue as has been said before. It's a common sense versus wilful ignorance issue.

As long as I live I’ll say it’s the biggest con ever pulled on this country’s people. Well, maybe up until the Tory Fascist Party do away with democracy…

Look I’m not saying that everyone who voted for Brexit did so just because they were thick. A lot of them were racist too.

This is a bloke that needed instructions to buy chilli flakes- did he fuck make it.

Looking forward to late February's pic when Boldon Lake has 7,387 mating frogs writhing around in one huge green blob

Hes not that good

I don’t think our midfield got close enough to Gilmour to get infected.

I could watch this sort of stuff all day. Anyone else on here have a soft spot for "how it's made" ?

Well I suppose that’s an area where I can believe you know what you’re talking about

Scarily accurate I put it on for 5mins the other day and lost count of how many times "woke" and "lefty" were shoehorned into the conversation. It's almost like, instead of being an independent, centrist, unbiased look at news without an underlying agenda, it's actually a massive cash grab to pull in racist idiots off Facebook and the Daily Mail comments page

Aki Riihilahti!

Destroyed it yesterday?

That’s what you call a lose-lose situation.

I was just showing off I have an accountant.

Lah-di-fucking-dah

Done, thanks for that

YOU HAVE NO JURISDICTION ANYMORE

But it has to be a French kiss for unity’s sake.

I mean if Brexit isn't something you're bothered about then I don't think you even need to do any questioning. The issue is settled, you can just forget about it. I can't because it still actively fucks up my life I would obviously question the extent to which they ever 'had us by the balls' though, since we had the best deal in Europe while we were in there, and we had a leadership role in the direction it was moving in - but it's just pointless to worry about it now. In terms of investment, the Tories are spending considerably at the moment as they've observed that this is something that they needed to do to outmanoeuvre Labour, but aren't you worried about where the money is coming from? The country is more in debt than it ever has been under a Labour government. I believe in spending both to stimulate the economy and to offset inequalities, but it has to be part of a carefully executed plan or it becomes disastrous. I don't trust them to handle careful execution, and I think future more sensible governments will subject us to austerity to pay for it. Quite possibly for the rest of our lives. Having said that, if your view is short termist then yeah, the Tories make sense based on your priorities. I can't chastise you for not voting Labour because I won't vote for them either.

Looks like we’ve found Gemmill’s condom thief.

Quiff’s ex has obviously sent him a video of her getting split in two by her ex-ex. That, or it’s rag-week.

I think most Remainers have accepted losing the vote. Leavers now have to accept that what they "won" is, across the board, an absolute parcel of shite. It's Leavers that are currently having a problem with acceptance.

Quiff’s posts do probably fall under some fishing quota

Aye looking for three worse teams every year is how fans dream of their season starting

Unfortunately it’s the same brain.

Getzen sie tae Fuchs

Squeaky bum time.

I think Stevie had a database somewhere of everyone’s known penis size

FYP

Two things from this match. 1) Scotland we're great considering they're shit. 2) England have fuck all chance of winning this even with home advantage. They were dog shit.

It’s not reallly valid, as his implication is that the plague went away and people survived with vaccines. Both are wrong- the Black Death, or bubonic plague, is still around, and there is now a vaccine for it. Before the vaccine it would break out regularly in various regions, but never at the levels of the 1300s. In 1995 a vaccine resistant strain was found, and as recently as 2017 it killed 170 people there.

What do you want? THANKS FOR DOING YOUR JOB!?

Hartlepool was wall to wall coverage, before and after. But Hartlepool was expected, the red wall was already crumbling, it was hardly news. Plus the analysis of it was just wrong, it didn't represent a tory surge, more a transfer of votes from UKiP and labour voters staying at home. Then we have also had wall to wall coverage on Batley and Spen, the next piece in the jigsaw of the MSM's narrative. Here the blue wall has been blown to smithereens in an election which is literally unprecedented. Comparatively, there has been hardly any coverage, although I admit it's increased a bit as the day has gone on. It'll all go quiet now and the MSM will nod their heads and agree with Johnson this is an anomaly. DO YOUR FUCKING JOB GLOOM!

Is that the bloke that sang about Fast Cars? Also, Sarah Green, who just whipped the Tories…

Why are English teams often so hopeless in appointing managers? It surely has to be Brucey‘s job now.
