In todays news...

Reading the news this morning, not only has Hunter Biden admitted that it was his laptop and the Russian disinformation story was utter lies, but he’s even suing the shop for sharing the info on his hard drive.

And in other news, asylum hotels and support services are making record profits, we’re talking tens of millions. St Gary of the BBC has been a huge help for rich people creaming money out of the tax payer.

Maybe if the asylum seekers were processed faster the majority of them eligible could be allowed into work and start paying into the system instead of costing money and filling the many vacancies there is on the job market that the government keeps on about.
Jeez, how hard was that to work out.

Star Wars fans will be pleased particularly.

The thing that interests me most is that although they seem desperate to entice people back to the office, nobody wants to talk about why?

A chunk of the economy is based on people working from an office, not to mention commercial property prices.

Sounds great. I’m interested in your solution.

Where will you get all the extra judges and lawyers to process them all within record time when they turn up with nothing and no time to build up their story supporting their asylum claim?

And without any ID or other documents ...

The same cupboard that the government go to when they say they're going to have "X,000 extra [insert job or profession]"

It’s all easy, everyone is a CEO or Prime Minister when they don’t have to actually deliver the solution. Diane Abbott had all those really cheap policemen waiting to slot into jobs - easy, until she was asked to explain it.

It's the cupboard next to the safe with the cash they haven't got, unless they really need it for good publicity.

Currently I'm enjoying watching the SNP fall apart like a clown car at a circus. Once again the Scots do it better than the English.

I left out the bit " ... and they're leaving the profession faster than replacements can be employed"

That's ok, the justice system will give them a couple of years to prepare if they ask nicely.

[Screwdriver]

Two thoughts spring to mind.

UBS must now be FAR too big to fail. The Swiss government will be fucked if that goes tits up.

$100 + billion liquidity needed? FFS what were the gnomes of Zurich up to?

Two thoughts? What do we think of this:

I don't really care what people get up to in their private lives or what their sexual fetish might be.

But I'd struggle to keep a straight face if I bump into something like that...

[Cousin Jack]

I would struggle too.

Perhaps it is a good banker, perhaps not, but it is a bit of a dick.

NB I use the word it, They is plural, and it is only one or the other at any instant.

That 'something' is a human being. The only question for them about work is 'Are they good at their job?'

I did say it may be a good banker.

I have considerable sympathy for people who genuinely switch gender (I worked with one) but this smacks of wanting to have your cake and eat it. And that has little or no relevance in work, apart from making others uncomfortable.

Ditto for the former. Why would anyone be uncomfortable with it, IMO if just a person in some clothes. Maybe the discomforteds need to look at their own thought processes. What's the difference between mens' and womens' clothing anyway? Skirt/kilt/sarong, blouse/shirt, what real difference is there?

And trying to make themselves centre of attention.
If you really want to change gender, all power to your elbow for your convictions - but this guy is lessening the cause by reducing to a "dressing up box" day
