UK Politics IV: Disraeli Gears

[Freefall11111]

There are more women in the cabinet than leave supporters.

Let me put it to like this: If we have to put up with you going on and on about how this is the greatest thing that's ever happened, you don't get to stick your fingers in your ears and start singing loudly when we disagree.

[Souseiseki]

so are we ready to shut the fuck up, say sorry and beg for freedom of movement/single market or are we still doing the daily express thing

You can start putting up real posts then.

Sorry for the quick post, I had to take a picture of this massive pig flying outside of my window.

we're probably gonna do the daily express thing

Given that the Chancellor has explicitly said no to staying in the Single Market, I think we're not doing that.

The government has quietly launched a bold experiment using the technology behind the virtual currency Bitcoin - and, if anybody notices, it could prove hugely controversial. That is because the trial involves the payment of benefits and could conceivably involve very sensitive data being made public - or at least that's the concern of some critics.

Are you actually paying attention to the thread?

Or are you operating under the logic that "anything that disagrees with my interpretation is hyperbolic"?

He's been in the job less than 24 hours and already he's navigating us into a financial black hole.

Wasn't someone reporting that the cabinet would be 50% women? So much for that.

What do you think this is, the Labour Party?

The obvious comparison would've been the Libs in Canada.

I warned everyone keeping Osborne would have been better.

I wonder if Hammond will go through with the sugar tax.

The government has quietly launched a bold experiment using the technology behind the virtual currency Bitcoin - and, if anybody notices, it could prove hugely controversial. That is because the trial involves the payment of benefits and could conceivably involve very sensitive data being made public - or at least that's the concern of some critics.

What the fuck is blockchain and why is it even being used.

...blockchain is interesting stuff but unless you're having some massive issue with disagreements on how much people were paid which can't be resolved by bank records (really shouldn't be) or are planning for completely cashless society ahead of banks (probably not), not really sure why this is to be useful. Banks will eventually probably be using it because it simplifys few stuff, but for DWP probably just small trial to make themselves look technically literate.

The decision to abolish the Department for Energy and Climate Change has been variously condemned as “plain stupid”, “deeply worrying” and “terrible” by politicians, campaigners and experts.

One of Theresa May’s first acts as Prime Minister was to move responsibility for climate change to a new Department for Business, Energy & Industrial Strategy.

oh god i thought this was a joke

Or, as was brought up during the debate in the Lords, ban the sale of iPhones.

Interesting you chose a pro-Brexit source to peruse.
