FFS. Some fucking gammon moron goads his daughter in making some anti-woke speech under the guise of it being "are culcha" and then gets plastered everywhere when there's an inevitable fallout. It's classic baiting.
Fuck the water companies, fuck their CEOs, fuck bonus payments for mismanagement. Either strengthen the regulator to be able to personally fine board members or Nationalise these wastes of air and money.
The spectacular level of cognitive dissonance required to simultaneously not believe in man-made climate change but also believe in evil scientists changing the weather.
RPI is an outdated and rarely used measure of inflation that makes it look a lot worse than it actually is. Almost everyone uses CPI or the better CPIH which factors in housing costs (rent and mortgages). Using CPI instead of RPI shows doctor pay since 2008 has actually only decreased by a relative 4.7% not the 21% that the BMA is claiming.
The BMA have picked an arbitrary date to make their comparisons with (2008) if you pick a different date you get vastly different figures. For example, over the last 10 years, resident doctor pay has increased above inflation.
Resident doctors in the UK are also on more money than almost all comporable economies (though direct comparison is difficult at best). Further, UK doctor graduates are the least likely to move abroad compared to the rest of the European Economic Area according to figures published by the BMA in 2022.
And again, and again. 1st time is 3 points or speed awareness course (why would anyone not do it), then assuming she didn't accrue points in a different way (bald tyres etc) it's 3 points for each subsequent speeding offense and you need 12 points for a 6 month ban. That's 5 times caught speeding in 3 years.
I think it's a difficult sell to the public, especially when the numbers (RPI) driving the BMAs claims is flawed. I'm all for better paid doctors but they just got a pay rise 10x better than almost all other public sector workers last year and now they want the same again the next year?
For some interesting perspective on how much computing has evolved: the original iMac was released in 1998, 27 years ago. 27 years before that was 1971 and the brand new exciting machine then was the Kenbac-1, the world's first personal computer.
Lost Prophets. I'm usually one for separating art from artist but fuck that baby raping piece of shit and if a member of your band rapes babies there's no way you're oblivious to the whole thing.
Fuck Ian Watkins, fuck those that ignored and/or enabled his despicably evil behaviour because he was your pay day.
Yeah, I know the BBC is big and there are going to be horrible people working in any big organisation, but people seem obsessed with the idea that it's some sort of haven for rapists and paedophiles and I wonder if there are more or less of them at the BBC than you would expect.
Have there been any studies into whether there's a higher or lower number of journalists/presenters/executives being involved in scandals at the BBC vs any other media organisation or do we just hear more about them because no other media business on earth gets as much scrutiny.
Renewable energy is WOKE
