I think I touched a nerve by suggesting you’re “not poor” in paragraph 2?
The thing about keeping a roof over your head was a metaphor you missed in your indignation: that of maintaining your reputation here as a working class hero, despite the fact you’re clearly a middle class normal.
Also, check your language, Pickman's model. Don’t talk to me like that again.

That’s not democracy.
Nup. I figured it out based on previous encounters in this thread. Prescience was not required.
All I hear is: “returner”, “returning after getting banned”, “you’re banned”.
One: it sounds like you want your banned members to stay banned.
Two: it looks like you can’t control whether your banned members return.
Three: Because you can’t stop them, you have collectively become hypersensitive to certain words, phrases, characteristics or behaviours and assume they belong to “returners”.
Sometimes a new arsehole is just a new arsehole.
You alright with that?
Me too, in principle. Depends on the skills.

How do I change this 'custom title' thing then?
It’s going to be the biggest train crash in the history of train crashes every week when she’s PM isn’t it.

I know. She’s inept. And dishonest. I don’t think i hate her as much as Thatcher because she did way more damage. Truss is one of Thatcher’s insane children playing in the ongoing wreck of a nation.

You've been round this course before I think, and if I was a betting man I'd lay a fiver on you being that prize arse Spanner. You've yet to give me a reason to speak nicely to you, don't think such a reason exists. You are after all not a pocket sherlock holmes but a poundshop cressida dick in the ratiocination stakes.

Trying the find the next noun to verb
To continue the metaphor, the country has just passed a signal at Danger and she and her SPADs are saying more speed.

It won't take a week.
Once elected I imagine her first step will be to announce the cabinet. Her second will be an emergency economic statement announcing corporation tax cuts, the reversal of the NIC increase and suspending ‘green levies’. Economists will note that a significant transfer of money has taken place from the state to the rich. At the same time energy hikes will be 4 weeks away. Things get smashed to pieces in a train wreck, let's hope the working class recreate those effects...and follow it up with mass non-payment of gas bills.

Agree with that, although mass non payment is likely to be followed up by mass prosecutions of non payers
Possibly. The state went down that road with the Poll Tax and got badly defeated. It depends on how successful the non-payment campaign is and, critcally, how we defend the first people dragged before the magistrates. I would also note that the court system is on the verge of collapse and that Truss's 'efficiency savings' will cut more staff and close more courts. Does the state even has the capacity to operate mass prosecutions?
Fundamentally, if the working class understand the energy price rises in moral economy terms - and I believe that is the case - then whatever the state does there will be mass non-payment and community action to keep the state out.

Starmer's got experience in setting up kangaroo courts, they should get him on board.

No, and what's more Truss and Sunak are both too dim and too isolated from reality to understand that. They're both acting like they have zero awareness of exactly how many existential crises are piling up.

Sunak isn't dim. He's lots of other things mind, but not that. Don't under rate your enemies, it never ends well.

They're probably positioning themselves to act surprised by the mess left behind by the previous government due to problems they couldn't possibly have known about in their lowly role as chancellor/foreign secretary.
