    Paula's going to jail, surely. Absolute travesty that she's not as big a national hate figure as, say, 'Fred the Shred' was.

    Are there any conspiracies doing the rounds about this being the work of THE PATRIARCHY? Almost all of the bad guys seem to be women.

    Er, wot? How far do you go with this stuff? We built a car park on top of Richard III and no one was that fussed, but if we're going to be that concerned about the 93bn humans that came before us (and are very much dead not giving a shit) we should probably pack up our tools now.

    With all the legitimate problems going on around the world, it really is a wonder that people manage to fund such unimportant shite to care about.

    It's by design. Get the little people angry about skin binding and flags on football kits so they haven't got time to revolt against the really bad stuff.

    "We should have always been using a percentage of your water bill to improve infrastructure but we didn't, so we need another 40% off you to do it without impacting shareholder bonuses."

    The cheek of these cunts.

    Chris Weston said he wanted to "reassure our customers that it is very much business as usual for Thames Water".

    He said the company was "quite a long way off" from nationalisation and "a lot that has to happen" beforehand.

    However, he said it was "eventually possible".
    So it's happening.

    Instead of fannying about removing 150-year old skin from books, universities should do real work like not having to rely on Johnny Foreigner for baked beans.

    Oh it's inevitable for sure. Just having to pay off these leeches hurts though. Having said that, FT said in 2019 it would cost about Ł14.5bn to nationalise water (probably Ł20bn now), versus Ł100bn for this HS2 shambles so far.

    EDIT: Out the way wullie

    Apparently George Osborne intervened directly to stop Ofwat preventing Macquarie's debt-financed takeover of Thames Water.

    Obviously Osborne is a cunt but how is he not a lot more hated? He should be in the gallows.

    Spreading my whining over two threads, but NHS management culture is exactly the same as this was.

    Presumably this is all just them (US included obvs) fishing for a reaction so as to be able to justify their disgraceful antics over the last 6 months. I suspect they only have a matter of weeks before they really lose meaningful support so hopefully we don't attempt anything until later. Our recent retaliatory strikes have been dogshit, hope we see a real improvement in the next one

    Repeat the story back to yourself "Russians have a undetectable gun that affects your balance and gives you a headache"

    What's the end goal/aim of this magical invisible weapon and why have they only deployed it against Americans spooks in Cuba and Vietnam, two positions that are definitely filled with Cold War Freaks.

    All I can go on is the parties involved in the investigation who seem pretty credible. I'm not sure it's undetectable either, just not detected yet (if it exists).

    The authors of the entire story aren't "American spook based in Cuba".

    I for one fully believe that the country currently fighting a war with 2-3 decade old military tech, has access to a Dr Evil style space laser that they only use against countries they aren't at war with.

    They also have modern weaponry as well which they've deployed but it's not infinite which is why they're also using older tech now.

    Clearly it only targets freedom so naturally it's ineffective against the Ukrainian forces of world jewry and/or antifa neo-nazis (delete as aplicable).

    Yes I should trust the CIA instead. They're historically reliable on this stuff. Even their own government is telling them to give their head a wobble.

    The Russians are very simple when it comes to this sort of thing (Makarov in the neck, trip to the fourth floor window sill etc), you get the occasional exotic outlier like the Bulgarian umbrella or a fancy polonium tea party but it's the CIA that are into the kinky stuff (smearing lsd on your door handles or obsessing over gaybombs and chairs that gives you cancer).
