What the fuck?
brogdale's news said:
This is news? Some utter wanker can't decide what to have for dinner?
Him choosing not to wear a mask in a supermarket is news, not whether it will be Chargrills or Fish Fingers, ffs.
If this is Brexit critique we need another Brexit, or maybe another two, just to get things fucking moving here.

And this. Our local Beefeater is the Manor Inn, (I believe you may even have not been barred from there!) the manager of which is a nice guy, but is simple, to put it kindly. If what the manager of a Beefeater puts on a notice is a the level of political comment that you have, well, there you go.

back on the other side
the distance between what prison rehab can be and what it is is so vast i cant find any enthusiasm for anything happening now

It's not that he's thick, he's not, he's just fucking glacial. Only in his late 20's but walks slower than my 80 year old MIL who's needs both hips replacing, again. Pop in for a drink and you'll see. They have a lovely garden overlooking the canal.

A prison term features heavily in my retirement plans. Not like I’ve a pension

Excellent. Prison labour IS a brexit bonus.
The daily mail comments section was also very pleased by this development, though they were mostly suggesting that unemployed people should immediately also be forced to work in the poultry factories, the scroungers.

Don't think its about being enthusiastic it's about highlighting and supporting projects or practises that can make difference however small. Like life I suppose Ska.

Coming to terms with late onset Anarchism
I think the news element here is that someone has felt the need to advise the cunt to make his security detail go along with the completely unnecessary, manufactured 'man-o-the-people' photo op.

Just think of it Bimble , when you next religiously go to your supermarket you won't even know if one or any of the staff is 'prison labour '. A prejudiced,, sneering and ignorant term that immediately pigeonholes and stigmatised , and one that strips any dignity from someone who is employed under ROTL who wants to turn their life around and when released could be working there full time.
As you have a lot of time on your hands read up on those firms that support prisoner rehabilitation, start with Timpsons as they are well known for their position in this field.. When I went to their seminar the bloke who led the presentation, accompanied by the owner, was superb and to the point about how much sense it made. He revealed at the very end that he had started on ROTL and then had gained employment and was now a senior manager, all pre Brexit.
He deserved the applause he got imo. . If he did the same talk now and you were in the audience would you dismiss him as 'prison labour' and want to make a joke about him or Brexit.?

You are good The39thStep. Thats it, i wish i'd voted for the brexit now, if i'd have known it was about helping prisoners and lorry drivers.

Not a bad conclusion to have reached Bimble: given where your side is headed politically. From deliberately mischaracterising the cause of loyalist rioting in the North of Ireland to opposing workers organising for better pay, from cheering on job losses in Brexit voting areas to the memes sneering at the marginalised - it’s an increasingly reactionary and conspiracy driven rump. As it wheezes off further into the periphery it’ll only get worse.
So welcome to the side of the Brexiteers Bibble!!

this is parody isn't it - sorry, it's hard to tell now, I think we may need an emoji

Thank you. If I'm a brexiteer now can i also come out as a big fan of the covid19 virus? Which just a couple of weeks ago was being talked of by you as the real cause of the whole lorry driver food supply problem. The black death was excellent for rising wages too so what's not to like.

I think it's more complicated than that, it's not actually supposed to be funny its just that people have been forced into these sort of absurd positions without actually intending to become trolls or jesters.

Yeah, I was wrong. The worst pandemic in living memory - and the associated labour shortages - have had zero effect on distribution networks.

that prison labour for tuppence a century is equivalent to someone supporting ex-cons getting jobs?
The39thStep
Urban critical thinker
If you , and for that matter Bimble , actually read the scheme identified ( initially and ironically by Bimble) you’ll find it’s not ‘prison labour for tuppence a century.’ I even posted the conditions attached to the scheme that a mate sent .

Oh it's tuppence a week rather than a century. This is a liberal parody account, I get it now. Sorry, as you were, should have stayed out.
