[Murphman]

Good luck Bailo, ideally you'd get something in place first which shows how far down the road you are with your disillusion.

No, luckily having sold the house and savings means I can take a few months to consider options. It's pretty scary but I can't hack where I'm at now, it's going to kill me. 

Sorry to hear that, Bailo. 

But fair play to you for being brave enough to make the tough decision before it really affects your health and wellbeing. 

[Bailo]

Thanks chaps. 

Drove home Friday night after a particularly hard day and I honestly thought I was having a heart attack. Had to pull over and calm down. Last straw really. 

[smithdown]

You think you’ve got it bad Bailo?  
 

A nation is holding its breath over here.

 

Swift full health.

Look after yourself Bailo. 

Deffo sounds like a career move is a good idea. 

Probably wise to see your GP too, if you haven't already, and just check all is OK.

Does anyone know what this is?  
 

He will be announcing he is personally giving women the vote next.

He'll probably find a new job, work wo years,  and then retire before managing to get a GP appointment

The most centrist thing ever.

She also confirmed Sir Keir and herself have undergone unconscious bias training - and it was "useful to understand how sometimes different patterns of behaviour can become entrenched".
 

I f***ing bet it was.  

Man is obsessed with turning his father’s unpopularity and difficulty in general social situations into something that would have Martin Luther King bursting into floods of tears.

He probably pissed the entire training session off by repeatedly asking "But why isn't being mean to factory owners a hate crime?"

Sizzit -

 

Keir Starmer has an ongoing fixation with the idea that white working class voters in the Red Wall are all anti-immigration racists. While immigration was a central factor in the Brexit vote in such constituencies, this outlook is lacking on two fronts.

First, that working class communities are more multicultural than the rest of society; and second, that Brexit was largely an expression of the desire for radical change to improve their standard of living. Indeed private polling by the TSSA union before the 2019 election presented straight choices between tightening the borders and Jeremy Corbyn’s transformative policies. Most respondents picked progressive change. This underlines the huge potential to win working class communities with a serious programme and a positive narrative to address race and class disadvantage simultaneously and together.

I would second that, the lifestyle is much better here. There should be loads of jobs posted on TES right now for the start of the new academic year.

They know it I reckon. They just don't want it. They'd rather have the sh*t version, the fear and no change.

“we’ve got the photo with Doreen Lawrence!”

”thank god!”

”so that’s that lot all sorted, what’s happening Wednesday?”

”just to be on the safe side we are all going to Peterborough to talk gravely about Sunderland”

Sunak is absolute garbage for this but Starmer trying to climb atop the moral high ground is a bit f***ing rich given the way Labour have thrown trans people under Rosie Duffield's bus.
