You do realise the Empire has been consigned to history ? And whilst we're at it, how's your pal Trump going on ? Nobel Peace Prize - as Jim Royle would put it, "My arse".

How is that prediction regarding Deutsche Bank holding up ?

Yep, that makes sense. Shun the massive market 22 miles away and go chasing one on the other side of the planet.

I listen to music every day, but don't feel the need to post everything I listen to. If you are interested, yesterday whlst working in my workshop I listened to "Dance of Death" by Iron Maiden and some New Order, the day before Metallica's "Black Album" and "And Justice For All". In the last few weeks I have also played The Clash, Imagine Dragons, Tears for Fears, Kate Rusby, Genesis, Shinedown, Queens of the Stone Age, Beautiful South, Talking Heads, Santana, and more. I also, on occasion might listen to Classic FM, or perhaps a top level brass band, ( all 3 of my children have played in National Championship winning bands ).

So what " rule" were they proving an exception to ?

So why respond to ECUK's calling out of your "sweeping statement" with "Fair play, there is always an exception that proves every rule." ?

So you could have said 'some', but no, you came out the standard bland right w(h)inger stereotypical assertion, to contrast with your opening phrase "That's the thing about the private sector, managers are prepared to roll up their sleeves and get stuck in to get the job done", which might easily, ( and more accurtaely ), have also included 'some', but that wouldn't suit your pathetic agenda bias.

Yet again you are incorrect - on the matter of your being as dim as you sometimes appear, unless you are willing to retract your arrogant slur on Public Sector managers.

Perhaps Buctootim is right, and you really are as dim as you sometimes appear. That statement is incorrect and insulting.

Another conspiracy theory on Twitter :- CoViD-19 is selectively targetting Republican members of Congress as compared to Democrats. ( Absolutely nothing to do with the fact that Dems take it seriously and mask up, whilst Reps congregate en masse and shun sensible precautions ).

I suppose ignoring the fact that the EU is a single trading bloc helps, ( US=£182m total trade, EU=£615m ). 😉

The thread title is 'Things that are racist' and doesn't present a geographical limit. The Equalities Act 2010, sections 158 & 159. ( https://www.xperthr.co.uk/faq/what-positive-action-is-permitted-under-discrimination-legislation/103008/ ; Section 159 of the Equality Act 2010 allows an employer to treat an applicant or employee with a protected characteristic (eg race, sex or age) more favourably in connection with recruitment or promotion than someone without that characteristic who is as qualified for the role. )

Georgia recount complete, Biden wins, ( again), so the "fraud" is perpetuated. ( Both Biden and Trump lost a few votes ).

The people giving evidence to the committee were the hauliers and the software companies developing the front end systems interfacing to CDS. The IT companies said that HMRC were only reluctantly releasing necessary information for them to design systems around.

A House of Lords committee was told in November that the Customs Declaration Service is "untested, incomplete, unproven, and not ready", and "There's no realistic chance that it's going to be ready for the NI border for January 1st 2021". The committee was also told that most intended users of the system have yet to start training, and that it takes 6 times as long to make a declaration on the new system as compared to the one it is replacing. Also, there is a world of difference between the HMRC declaring that the software is 'ready' and it actually meeting and delivering on all it's specified functions and deliverables. 60% functionality would be an excellent result by Jan 1st, and probably won't be acheived. The best way to break an IT system is to declare it 'ready' and release it to the user base. No amount of testing can account for or imagine the errors that the users can come up with.

Since when did a new piece of software, especially one created by the government, operate correctly to specification on day 1 ? ( Or even day 10 ).

Georgia recount, unsurprisingly, giving the same result as election night. As one of the officials said, "It's like watching a movie again, the ending is going to be the same". Meanwhile elsewhere, senior Republicans are slating the Attorney General, a Trump appointee, for saying that there is no evidence of fraud, and demanding he releases the 'evidence' that there is no fraud. As mass delusions go, this one is a belter.

Is racism restricted to the UK ? It is also legal in the UK to take 'positive action' to discriminate between 2 equally qualified persons to select a member of an 'under represented' minority.

Underwood

Naked Attraction ? ( Oh ) YES Prime Minister !

I see that Hancock has said he'd be willing to take a prick on TV.

That has to be the most impressive of the state based frauds. California's Presidential election result is certified as Biden 63.5% 11,098,676 votes Trump 34.3% 5,994,674 votes

Given the UK is ordering 3 different vaccines, how are they going to decide who gets which ?
