    But it will. Especially in a world of job scarcity, which could be just around the corner.

    Surely it will make labour unbelievably expensive, and in turn the price of everything will just turn society into some kind of Weimar Republic inflation singularity. And that's without the inflation from the dosh itself.

    Inflation is just made up anyway so we can pretend it doesn't matter.

    Strangely enough that notion only ever comes from the silver spoons.

    Eh? Inflation like the whole economic construct is a man made belief system. What's that got to do with 'silver spoons'?

    I don't think it'll get there. Not unless the new working class (i.e. the Kiko's and the Silver Spoons) earn vastly more than they do now. And pay the appropriate tax and National Insurance to make up for 47% of the population that don't put in. And the state pension would completely shit the bed.

    They always stay small experiments because the sheer shock of doing the thing wholesale would be too much to consider.

    But you still get one and UBI doesn't exactly pay into a workplace/private one. UBI would have to become that pension. Again, these programmes never develop into something larger scale. It's a tiny social thing designed to make a postcode feel slightly better off for a short period of time. That's where it's the most beneficial.

    Inflation - as in money and/or the means of exchange being devalued, rather than inflation as measured - is the one bit of it that isn't pretend.

    Seems the company that owns The Telegraph is on the verge of going bust which would explain their increasing levels of dick sucking of this crony-era Tory party.

    People outside aren't aware of it as they just put it in a drawer with the rest of Surrey, but Woking is a baffling basketcase of a place. Like an island of hell within heaven (which is also how it is the only place in non-London Surrey to sustain a half decent football club). My favourite story I've heard about it concerns the legendary 'Sheerwater Dad', a mysterious gentleman from the Asian community who is said to father dozens of children every year, with the result that certain schools are wildly overpopulated with the children of dozens of single mothers.

    That development around the train station is a small example of what everywhere within a certain distance of London should have, but imagine being a council and thinking that you were the best people to be in charge of that sort of cash.

    There has been widespread rumour and speculation about the cause of Hamdan's death online and in the media, but police have said they will not comment until after a post-mortem examination is carried out on Thursday.
    Such a tease.

    A bit of digging suggests the 'isolated incident' might have been someone [alleged a bully] putting him in a 'chokehold' [which I think we called murder in the past].

    Two schools in a week deploying that phrase is stuff. Time to start looking in rivers.

    More seriously (re the Scottish one):
    Police are awaiting the results of a post-mortem on a 14-year-old schoolboy who died after reportedly being put in a chokehold in a playground incident - as they deny any link to a TikTok 'TapOut challenge'.
    Now, based on how the school seem to be attempting slick PR on this, I'm going with his cousin Zain Mohammed, 29, who says:

    Hamdan was being bullied for being different. He was put in a chokehold and it's being passed off as a game called Tap Out.

    Having lived in the country for five years now, it never ceases to amaze me how a population that is so set on having bread and cheese for lunch every day puts up with such piss poor quality of both.

    They must enforce the consumption of it ruthlessly. I went to St Martin / Sint Maarten once and the Dutch half of the island is mad for clogs, miniature windmills and disappointing cheese. It serves a purpose though; as while I sat eating some kind of spiced lamb stew, the various other white faces visiting were enjoying unmelting cheese on toast and dry sandwiches.
