The good news for people who want to drag us back to the imagined golden age of the 70s is that we're basically there already
"What is certain, and felt instinctively by almost everybody, is that things cannot go on in their present way" – The Times, May 1975
“It is difficult to imagine a previous period when such an all-pervasive hopelessness was exhibited at all levels of British life” – Professor Stephen Haseler, 1975

The easiest boycott of all time, Starbucks is boggin'.
As of this morning, Starbucks workers across the country are officially ON STRIKE. And we're prepared for this to become the biggest and longest ULP strike in Starbucks history.
Say #NoContractNoCoffee with us: DON'T BUY STARBUCKS for the duration of our open-ended ULP strike! $SBUX

I've never got on with the idea of Police and Crime Commissioners as the ludicrous job title makes it sound like they are in charge of organising both the police and the crimes
BREAKING Home Office is about to announce that police and crime commissioners are to be scrapped..
Established in 2012 by Theresa May, Labour has never been a fan of the PCC system…they’ll be replaced in 2028 by policing mayors & local policing boards ..

Slightly unnerved that I only yesterday casually mentioned I was waiting for a Steam home console to drop. Wondering what else to magic into existence with this superpower

Well, this sounds like exactly what I was hoping it would be. If the price is right I'll definitely be getting one.

Incredible thread about Salisbury Cathedral, no wonder those Russians found their visit so fascinating
i fully agree with this theory and in my actual field, british architectural history, The Problem is that Salisbury Cathedral is built on top of a lake and no i am not exaggerating
between this and the FSO Safer (another ship at serious risk of exploding) I’m convinced every field has its “yeah, this is the problem that keeps me up at night” and I’m on a quest to learn about all of them

Can't believe I've had the ending of the most recent Bond film spoiled for me by a bestselling novelist. There goes any remote desire to ever watch it I guess

four different Bonds show up, each claiming to be the real one. Young Bond, Cyborg Bond, Robot Suit Bond, and Bond Wearing Big Sunglasses.

That wasn't really Bond, that was the embodiment of the Phoenix Force. The real Bond was in cryogenic suspension at the bottom of Jamaica Bay.
James Bond’s death in No Time to Die is causing a nightmare for the next film. Writers are stuck because Bond “was blown to pieces.”
Anthony Horowitz, author of three 007 novels, says:
“You can't have him wake up in shower and saying it was all a dream."

A rare treat to have a day hotdesking in the big smoke yesterday, but must admit it's a relief to be back to a mechanical keyboard, decent mouse and twin 1440p monitors today. Not to mention faster internet
