  1. They are bumping up speeds across the board, their Infinity 1 package will be 76Mbps for new customers, so they're upgrading existing customers first.
  2. Therein lies the problem, your "truths" are informed by your politics. You will have noticed this first hand on the Brexit thread. This is why experts like Mark Carney and Mervyn King can't agree on the most basic facts on how our economy is performing because they're at opposite ends of the political spectrum. Your politics taints everything.
  3. You're absolute right. Politics is a social construct which is downwind of religion. In politics we create sacred values, we rally around those values and encourage others to join in. Anyone who challenges our values is considered a threat to the in-group which we must challenge (fight). Sound familiar? One of the most beautiful things about understanding human psychology is being able to step out of the game and smile
  4. Sounds like someone got triggered
  5. Amazon are hoping to introduce drone delivery in the UK next year. This will eventually end the exploitation of many of these workers who are overqualified and being paid a pittance.
  6. Downloading emails from a POP server? You're giving your age away bob
  7. The IKEA vacancies were not advertised on the Government's Job Centre Plus network so unemployyed Sheffielders had no way of knowing there were hundreds of vacancies available. It's the usual story of big business turning to the agencies to fill their vacancies with cheap affordable labour from the continent whilst turning a blind eye to the needs of the local population in which they operate.
  8. I1 has made it very clear in the past that he's keen on the butch Australian named Natalie Bennett of the Green Party ---------- Post added 04-10-2017 at 20:33 ---------- Which is why she won't be around beyond the Brexit negotiations. Theresa knows she's a one-trick pony to deliver on Brexit. Once that's done and dusted the floor will open up to new leadership as the country embarks on new ambitions. AND might I add that the Europeans are pleased with this arrangement.
  9. Which is fine, but you do realise that under our fixed-term parliament act the Tories are in government until May 2022. If TM does step down it will only trigger a leadership contest within the Tory party with gives BoJo his opportunity to strike. Is that what you want?
  10. Victims don't have a say on the matter. It's the politics of morality which informs our criminal justice system and not the sciences, which is why it's incredibly difficult to produce good policy that actually works. Just look at the OP's opening sentence for example, he describes Aaron as a "piece of dirt" so we already know the OP is looking at this problem through the prism of morality - good vs evil, the saints vs the devils. This is religion.
  11. I quite agree, she's not going to last until May 2022 but the Europeans want her to stay on during the negotiation period.
  12. I completely agree, and this is where I start to diverge with my friends on the right. As a country we've been getting things so desperately wrong on the criminal justice front for decades, and our history of practicing morality (religion) for thousands of years actually puts us at a disadvantage in how we deal with our social problems in the 21st century. It's really important that we acknowledge this. The minute you take a problem in society and try to remedy this through the application of morality you'll instantly find yourself locked into an intractable matrix where nothing you do appears to solve the problem. In the social sciences we call these 'wicked' problems, examples would be drug addiction, crime & terrorism, poverty etc. We know what the Scandinavians score much higher than us Brits on emotional intelligence, and this is very evident in how they deal with their social problems. If you'd like to see what this looks like in practice watch [ ] of Michael Moore investigating Norway's criminal justice system. Warning: This clip can sometimes trigger an emotional response in people when the realisation of applied morality suddenly dawns. I call it the 'click' moment.
  13. It's pretty standard practice. It brings your corporate tax liability down to zilch.
  14. WT - want a hard Brexit? That's exactly what will happen if the PM were to fire BoJo.
  15. Anyone care to explain why some Catalonian protesters were seen holding up photos of David Cameron?
  16. Sounds like the owner has unsettled debts..
  17. A well known personality trait of conservatives is the importance they place on in-group loyalty. So when things go awry, or there's transparent attempts of undermining other members within the group, you'll often find that conservatives remains in tact even when the <removed> hits the fan. And this is why its traditionally harder to upseat a conservative government.
  18. Lads caught with weaponry in Sheffield are called dealers, not Nazis
  19. You'll just have to wait until next year to see what's being planned with the British Commonwealth. It's all very exciting!
  20. Because political correctness is a sacred value if you're on the left.
  21. When it comes to Turkey money talks. It's why we need a foreign aid budget.
