Cheap + Plentiful = Liberalizing immigration (Not Local) Local + Plentiful = Raising Wages (Not Cheap) Cheap + Local = No one wants to do it (Not Plentiful)

I don't know what that means. Governing is about making choices and politics is about how those choices get made. UK can have social care workers who are: Cheap, Local or Plentiful but it can only pick two of those at a time.

I'm just curious how you can possibly arrive at a social care solution that doesn't run afoul of your "reduce migration to just 3 Norwegians a decade" obsession? You can't afford to pay British people enough to flock to these jobs, and you badly need the workers so... 🤷‍♂️

Already bracing myself for the utterly insufferable takes Mattoah Ygglesmith are going to ragebait on this with.

Could do a shot for shot remake of Hot Fuzz with this guy playing all but two roles and no one would notice.

Dude looks like he coaches a team that refuses to take the field against Jackie Robinson.

My man looks like he says, "you people" with a hard R.

Dude looks like the Sheriff in an American movie, who runs the black main character out of town because 'this is a nice community and we don't need your sort around here.'

Resting Smug Scooby Doo Villain Face.

Also, "Easy mixing in pubs and playgrouds" If Bazza and the lads lads lads down at the pub do a few lines and decide to give you a hard time, that actually proves you're not integrated enough.

"I can construct an elaborate thought experiment under which this very obviously racist thing is in fact not racist, ergo you can't accuse it of being racist just in case the wildly unrealistic scenario I'm envisaging is actually universal. Also, my scenario is still super racist."

"Boy Dmitry, that's a really reductive view of British culture and values in fact I think you'll find..." <interrupts you by holding up his arm, which is so white it's almost blinding> "I see. Carry on, sir."

I also love that if you ask any of the people at a Reform rally to define the "British values" they're apparently ready to burn people alive down to preserve they'll mumble something like, "havin' a pint and a bit o' banta, innit?" like that's an experience unique to Albion.

If skin color is what we're looking at then Vladimir Putin has more potential "shared history and values" with the UK than David Harewood. That seems really stupid to me, and while I'm not British I am super fucking white, so I'm kind of an expert on the place apparently.

Well, sort of - but the tweet I'm quoting posits a theory that he sees the way the COUNTRY is going and so is siding with the groypers. I'm saying a less alarming but I think equally plausible theory is that he sees the way part of the REPUBLICAN PRIMARY ELECTORATE are going.

Another theory, entirely consistent with that accurate description of his character, could be that Vance sees the Groypers as his potential power base against Marco Rubio in the 2028 presidential primary.

Can negligence in carrying out duties this serious not be criminal?

In what way is using AI to prepare a brief and then not checking the references it uses not a concious decision? Was this hallucination the first one in the history of this technology? Was this lawyer unaware AI can make stuff up? You can literally prompt the thing for clickable links!

Surely severity of potential impact from negligence should factor in here? Lots of people go to work drunk, but we treat that differently if they do it as a surgeon and nearly kill someone vs if they do it as a piano tuner and don't quite get C sharp right?

The average MCU movie was also like, 800 minutes long at one point. Every scene in Doomsday is going to have like 42 characters. Do we really need them to spend six minutes of that on two characters boning?
