  I’ve never read that before, doesn’t appear racist , even opposing racism in much of the text.

  That is a head gasket, because it’s the gasket between the engine block and the engine head.

  They created a toxic work environment, and I’d just legislate them out of existence.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Life as a food delivery worker: ‘Sometimes men open the door naked’⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  The short version is; These delivery companies created a modern slavery situation which simultaneously creates road safety and personnel safety issues. Simple solution, ban deliveroo, just eat and ubereats outright. Delivery drivers should be employees of takeway companies. Then minimum wages can be enforced and traceability and transparency for all rights and safeguards can be seen. Bonus is, you’re not going to get hit by an unlicensed e-moto in a city centre by some shattered forgotten body who may or may not be entitled to work.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Disabled people ‘effectively working for free for rest of year due to pay gap’⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  But the issue then is equal pay for the roles, which is already protected. The pay gap phrasing is not helpful is my point, and should be made more clear that the issue is opportunity. And this is very easy to understand that organisations have to put effort into making it possible for persons with disabilities to be able to work in their organisation in roles the more able persons would be automatically able to do so.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Disabled people ‘effectively working for free for rest of year due to pay gap’⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  This is irritating, not because disabled people don’t deserve fair chances, but because of the measure of the ‘pay-gap’. This is the same issue with ‘gender pay gap’. It does not mean that people are getting paid differently because of being disabled, or because of gender. It is a measure of how often people have the salary they have based on having jobs that get certain salaries. Again; if they did the same job, they get paid the same. But they do different jobs and therefore get paid differently. So the issue is, how to make more types of jobs available to disabled people, not how to pay them fairly, equal pay is already a legal right.

  Not in the slightest. News occurs to me naturally via diverse sources, I don’t go looking for news about republic campaigning groups, and clearly succeeded in never finding any. Except this reference today. Which I’m emotionless about to be fair. Andrew is a disgrace though, I don’t disagree that he should be dragged through the same shit a commoner would if found noncing

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Keir Starmer in crisis as Labour drops to 16% in devastating new poll⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Also, people treat polls as a kick up the arse for the incumbent, then vote on their personal politics come election day. So it’s really unlikely even the lead in the polls will see that in reality.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨UK could raise nearly £2bn by taxing SUVs in line with European countries, study shows⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  More sloppy reporting from the guardian, at least proof read the work. Tax £66,610 on an 85,000 vehicle? 3 times as much as the cost in the uk of £3200? I think someone put another 0 on that, ABs they still managed to publish it.

  He left, so their wealth is not his to spend, but he wouldn’t be in a privileged position to start with without them. Not sure why the Guardian is calling him Prince still though, unless it’s just for reader recognition, rather than just some Harry bloke.

  Read the article; “borrowed £33,000 from Barclays in 1998, but her debt to the bank is now estimated at about £660,000 and could rise further.” That is really bad and would never be outweighed by the rise in the property value.

  First paragraph of the article.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨They ain't there for you⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  You’re violently agreeing again! The point “the common misconception” comment was making was this; it’s common mistake to think HR are there for the employee. HR is to protect the company from employees. They hire and fire as required. There’s only loyalty to the company.
