A lot of (all of what he's suggesting) is nice in principle but totally unenforceable.

Instead of fines, he'd do better to improve social respect and pride in your community at a young age such that you grow up considerate of other people you have to share a community with. But that will probably be decried as child abuse or something.

Have the conversations.

The PLP (parliamentary Labour Party, consists just of MPs) dose not have the legal right to do that.

For me, it's not about legality. I think that's what you might be misunderstanding with my point. I've said multiple times that, for me, it's about perception and optics. It's about not even giving your opponents ammunition against you. You do that by being completely neutral. And the fact that the Labour party wasn't on top of this shows it's naivety.

He'll trump did it over Corbyn and Obama did it over Brexit.

And it was, in my opinion, absolutely foolish of them to do this and showed how poor they both were with foreign policy. But that's another matter.

I'm happy for you to disagree with me on this, let's just leave it as that. Just my opinion on the matter. Not that it matters 😅.

Enjoy your weekend.

Countries like Portugal, Spain, Greece, Cyprus, the Netherlands, and Malta

All mentioned in the article as places you can go to avoid paying taxes. I wonder what they all have in common 🤔😂.

If they're going voluntarily and without the backing of any Labour party machinery then cool.

However this doesn't suggest that.

The complaint also cited a now-deleted LinkedIn post from Sofia Patel, head of operations at the Labour Party, who wrote that “nearly 100” current and former Labour Party staff would be travelling to the US to help elect Ms Harris.

Like I say, it's more about optics here. Which is where the naivety comes in.

If we have reached a stage where perception of doing the right thing is not an issue then.... well, I'm perhaps behind the times. And maybe we have given the last Trump administration and the last Tory government. I just find it disappointing that Labour have kicked off their government making similar easy own goals. Not just this, but on the cash for clothes / Taylor Swift tickets fiasco.

If you have to reverse engineer an API you're effectively using a private undocumented unsupported API. Why would you be surprised that a private implementation has changed without notice?

This basic programming.

Emma? Emma! Who the fuck is Emma?!

Thing is... this sort of makes sense if you say it with a hint of sarcasm. But curiously the only people that use this phrase are Americans. And we all know how much they understand sarcasm 🤣.

Not putting the toilet seat down.

 

Bristol Council have decided not to build Bristol arena in Bristol but in the neighbouring county. Instead they're guaranteed rent for forty years to some landlords. Makes sense 😅.

 

I must admit I was suckered in with the headline and and picture. It's not Brown he's criticising. It's his fellow Tories.

 

there are respects in which (Bristol City Council) are not adequately performing their function of determining applications for planning permission

 

Who has the leak? Come on I know one of you does. I want to see what Horner has been saying 😅.

 

Supporting Labour's grassroots 😜
