Deleted a post about “what’s your least favorite song” because the vibes are bad enough already.
Instead: what’s your favorite song that has a long title, say at least 6 words long?
Mine: “Elderly Woman Behind the Counter in a Small Town” (Pearl Jam)

What surprises me in the reactions to this is people’s lack of understanding of what certain industries are like.
In tech, VC’s in the late nineties would drive around at the weekend to see which companies had full car parks. As for banking, see epicureandealmaker.blogspot.com/2014/11/regr...

Back in 2016 I would tell people that the EU was the only thing that was keeping the U.K. going as a fully functioning state; partly because of the business benefits, and partly because it outsourced a lot of the dull but necessary stuff of running a modern state.
Without it, we’re fucked.

It's not "Labour psychodrama"; it's "established political class in freefall regardless of rosette colour because EU membership was a load-bearing aspect of modern Britain and it's impossible to square this financial and cultural circle."

Since this Galaxy began, vast civilizations have risen and fallen, risen and fallen, risen and fallen so often that it's quite tempting to think that life in the Galaxy must be: (a) something akin to seasick — space-sick, time sick, history sick or some such thing, and (b) stupid.

See, it’s easy for VAR to make a decision when neither team involved is owned by a petro-state that bribes referees by paying them to referee matches in their country.

There are also plenty of Poles who came in the 40’s who will talk about being turned down for jobs, being abused by the locals, and seeing signs on boarding houses reading ‘No Irish, No Poles’.
Yes, most built good lives here but it’s a myth to pretend that it was all rosy.

The Labour Government did the right thing and the 1947 Polish Resettlement Act granted economic support for these refugees and gave them the right to work- while offering a right to citizenship.
They quickly integrated into the UK & it showed how to work to integrate new arrivals.
