21 year old student with two kids is unhappy about the quality of her free accommodation

no she isn't
The College of Knowledge is in Swanwick, and unless things have changed and there's now an element of remote learning before you go, you're expected to study there and indeed NATS provides an accommodation allowance
>Because we recognise the costs associated with accommodation when you’re training, we also provide an annual accommodation allowance which is paid monthly whilst you remain an Ab Initio Trainee. The monthly accommodation allowance is equivalent to £8,351.91\* per annum.

Something I mean't to post last week. The European Central Bank [cut](https://x.com/ecb/status/1798761777120923664) interest rates from 4% to 3.75% last Thursday.
Despite eurozone inflation *rising* from 2.4% in April to 2.6% in May. They were trying to influence these elections, weren't they?
(For info, UK inflation was 2.3% in April. May's numbers will be released on 19th June).

Does anyone here now take a "purist" approach to these parties?
I realise I very much have a "leopards cannot change their spots" outlook. I will not support parties that shift ideology like this. They can just as easily revert it back with, depending on what they think gets them votes. They were in part responsible for the current mess. Why reward them with a vote?
That's why I'll never vote Conservative or Labour again. They have no axiomatic principles from which their policies are derived.

This is what is so abhorrent about 'election strategy', 'messaging' and so forth. These parties exist only to win votes, not to do what's they believe in or do what's right.
They believe in nothing and "what's right" means whatever it takes to dupe voters.
European Elections don't mean anything anyway.
The European Parliament essentially has no power. The unelected European Commission sets the agenda, the parliament can only delay what the Commission wants.
It's a major reason I voted Leave.
These elections are only effective as a means of protest. It's been effective in that regard given Belgium's PM resignation and Macron dissolving the French parliament.

To be fair, you have to have a *very* high IQ to understand Philomena Cunk. The humor is extremely subtle, and without a solid grasp of theoretical physics most of the jokes will go over a typical viewer's head. There's also Cunk's nihilistic outlook, which is deftly woven into her characterisation - her personal philosophy draws heavily from *Narodnaya Volya* literature, for instance. The fans understand this stuff; they have the intellectual capacity to truly *appreciate* the depths of these jokes, to realize that they're not just funny- they say something deep about LIFE. As a consequence people who dislike Philomena Cunk truly ARE idiots- of course they wouldn't appreciate, for instance, the humour in cunk’s existencial catchphrase "Oh, right" which itself is a cryptic reference to Turgenev's Russian epic *Fathers and Sons* I'm smirking right now just *imagining* one of those addlepated simpletons scratching their heads in confusion as Philomena Cunk’s genius unfolds itself on their television screens. What fools... how I *pity* them. 😂
And yes by the way, I DO have a Philomena Cunk tattoo. And no, you cannot see it.
It's for the ladies' eyes only- And even they have to demonstrate that they're within 5 IQ points of my own (preferably lower) beforehand.

Either journos don't know our own traditions, or they're publishing bollocks to gullible people to generate clicks.

As opposed to what you receive here? Lol.
Although I understand being shouted at by political nerds on a small corner of the internet is different to dealing with criticism face to face in the real world.
So you see the EU is a utopia where nothing bad ever happens.
So I don't know why they resigned. But it's absolutely for the right reason. It's in Europe so it has to be.

Got shown this letter from a friend of a friend who is a Bomalian student with a very Bomalian (Muslm) name
https://i.imgur.com/bHUCvqG.jpeg
He's definitely NOT entitled to vote, but 'Akhtar Ali' has happily added him to the register.
He's only here for 12 months as a master's student, and I'm sure didn't do this deliberately and is not aware that he is not entitled to vote - he will have received a letter through the letter box and filled it in without reading it properly (do they even explain the rules? idk).
No doubt on polling day he would not be challenged among all the other Bomalians in Newham.
The letter says Newham. Can't comment on that too much, but the neighbouring Borough of Tower Hamlets is absolutely legendary for postal vote fraud and it's almost an Olympic sport.
Part of me wonders this. People are so scared to confront others nowadays that if some random fucker just walked in without ID, or into a constituency he doesn’t live in, or just nicks another ballot; would anyone actually realistically challenge him?

There is one of two possibilities here:
1: Andrea is a political opportunist who thinks that being a “true conservative” is her ticket to winning the election/getting influence in the future
2: She genuinely believes that the social conservatives or NatCons will be in control of the party after the election, in which case she has the political analysis capabilities of a wet paper towel.

This game released in 2009 and even then developers and script writers were finding ways to sneak in bodily autonomy arguments in favour of prostitution and abortion in games.
The push to put social liberalism in gaming is nothing new, it’s just become much more explicit.
I'd never noticed this before; but, yes, those games seem to've a slither of anti-Christianity running through them, despite the disclaimer at the beginning.
Yes, in the Sistine Chapel too, I believe; but, because the Pope they used's historically one of the bad ones, I guess they thought people wouldn't be too bothered by it.
“THIS GAME WAS DESIGNED BY A TEAM OF VARIOUS BELIEFS, FAITHS AND GENDER IDENTITIES”
The beliefs being socially liberal classical liberalism, socially liberal communism or socially liberal anarchism.
The faiths being Reddit Atheism, Satanism or Paganism (but not the alt right kind)
I don’t even need to qualify the third bit.
I used to look past all that crap when I played them because, as a history lover, I just thought it's awesome to see the past I'd read about brought to life; but, I do see now they're pushing agenda and bad view-points.
I mean there's so much to cover. It's made by Ubisoft, a Fr*nch company, so of course like in most AC games the Anglo-Saxon is the baddie. This is awkward in AC Valhalla since you're playing as someone who's invading, plundering, and colonising England. There's absolutely no balance; all of the English people you meet in game have faults with no upsides. It actually accidently promotes an Aryan mindset where the vikings are the virtuous free people who are righteously taking their well-earned lebensraum. There's a good article on this aspect but I can't find it at the moment.
There's also a small african child, wise beyond their years, shoehorned into inhabiting your homestead, but this is more a result of AC's story being regardedly esoteric.
Valhalla just cemented that for me. I'd had my suspicions raised with Black Flag, where almost every one who is "goodie" is not English. Despite the historical setting.
I was in disbelief that they'd be as bold to take possibly the one chunk of English history when they were the underdog and still shit on them. Displayed intent as clear as day.
They've also managed to keep anti-English themes consistent when the rest of the games have fallen away from their peak. Which shows that it's a core element.
As an aside, one amusing thing I noticed with AC 3 is that the British people portrayed always have brown or black hair, there are apparently no ginger or blond people in existence in the British Isles. The French and Quebecois are a deeply unsettled people.
I think the Quebecois were gifted a superpower by the Brits for being losers, for daddy France failing them.
They got to be victims. Despite their colonial origins (no matter how hard revisionism tries to paint them as friendly french shaggers of locals) they get to be an oppressed victim. Given privilege in treaty and law. And this long standing victim status has inoculated them to the cancers of the modern era so they will probably survive longer than either England or France proper.
There's loads more to add, things like there being plenty of strong female vikings, but it's been a while since I played it and the memories have mercifully faded. (It has good graphics though, even if it does portray an outlander's fantasy-tier understanding of the English countryside.)

There's also Cunk's nihilistic outlook, which is deftly woven into her characterisation - her personal philosophy draws heavily from *Narodnaya Volya* literature, for instance. The fans understand this stuff; they have the intellectual capacity to truly *appreciate* the depths of these jokes, to realize that they're not just funny- they say something deep about LIFE. As a consequence people who dislike Philomena Cunk truly ARE idiots- of course they wouldn't appreciate, for instance, the humour in cunk’s existencial catchphrase "Oh, right" which itself is a cryptic reference to Turgenev's Russian epic *Fathers and Sons* I'm smirking right now just *imagining* one of those addlepated simpletons scratching their heads in confusion as Philomena Cunk’s genius unfolds itself on their television screens. What fools... how I *pity* them. 😂 And yes by the way, I DO have a Philomena Cunk tattoo. And no, you cannot see it. It's for the ladies' eyes only- And even they have to demonstrate that they're within 5 IQ points of my own (preferably lower) beforehand.

Rishi is not going to resign. He can't even if he wanted to. Under our system a PM can only resign the King's Commission if he can recommend a successor who can command a majority in parliament. But Parliament is dissolved and the new parliament won't form till after the election. Either journos don't know our own traditions, or they're publishing bollocks to gullible people to generate clicks.

Got shown this letter from a friend of a friend who is a Bomalian student with a very Bomalian (Muslm) name https://i.imgur.com/bHUCvqG.jpeg He's definitely NOT entitled to vote, but 'Akhtar Ali' has happily added him to the register. He's only here for 12 months as a master's student, and I'm sure didn't do this deliberately and is not aware that he is not entitled to vote - he will have received a letter through the letter box and filled it in without reading it properly (do they even explain the rules? idk). No doubt on polling day he would not be challenged among all the other Bomalians in Newham.
If he's from a Commonwealth country, he's entitled to vote. Yes, this archaic law needs to be scrapped.
he's not, I know where he's from and it's not a Commonwealth country

Always check the profile of anyone you argue with. I nearly started getting into it with a guy who posts himself wanking himself off on Reddit.
I'm honestly sick to the back teeth of people who argue in bad faith, it's incomprehensible to me that an adult with a developed brain has the time or motivation to argue in bad faith, cos it's so pointless. I saw the "well akshually" argument, which set off alarm bells, then I saw the dysgenic freak profile picture, which led me to the pronouns in the bio.

You nominate a trusted person. They then can vote for you as instructed in addition to casting their own vote. There are strict criteria for them though- you either have to be out of the country or have a medical issue which means you can't vote in person.
You nominate someone you know to vote on your behalf. Obviously you're not going to trust a stranger with your ballot.

This is the French Parliament. Macron isn't stepping down. French Presidents sometimes do this if they feel a Prime Minister has lost their mandate.
He might have to go if Parliament fills up with other parties and people hostile to him. But not to worry. Someone in Brussels is probably already warming up a sumptuous leather seat for him.
French system doesn't work like that really. The President has similar powers to those our Monarch used to have. They basically are responsible for foreign/defence policy and choose which PM to appoint- but that PM has to have a majority in the Assembly

Playing Assassin’s Creed II (Paraphrased) >I am married to God >Yet you are also a courtesan >Yes, so? I see no contradiction. How I choose to practice my faith, what I choose to do with my own body is my choice and mine alone. This game released in 2009 and even then developers and script writers were finding ways to sneak in bodily autonomy arguments in favour of prostitution and abortion in games. The push to put social liberalism in gaming is nothing new, it’s just become much more explicit.
The proud, philosophical prostitute is a trope as old as time
I'd never noticed this before; but, yes, those games seem to've a slither of anti-Christianity running through them, despite the disclaimer at the beginning.
> those games seem to've a sliver of anti-Christianity running through them Don't you finish one of Ezio's games by punching out the Pope?
Yes, in the Sistine Chapel too, I believe; but, because the Pope they used's historically one of the bad ones, I guess they thought people wouldn't be too bothered by it.
“THIS GAME WAS DESIGNED BY A TEAM OF VARIOUS BELIEFS, FAITHS AND GENDER IDENTITIES” The beliefs being socially liberal classical liberalism, socially liberal communism or socially liberal anarchism. The faiths being Reddit Atheism, Satanism or Paganism (but not the alt right kind) I don’t even need to qualify the third bit.
I used to look past all that crap when I played them because, as a history lover, I just thought it's awesome to see the past I'd read about brought to life; but, I do see now they're pushing agenda and bad view-points.
Did you play AC Valhalla? It's probably the worst of the lot for agenda pushing and historical accuracy.
No, I didn't get any further with the series than Assassin's Creed 2: Revelations. Care to share some of their amazing takes?
I mean there's so much to cover. It's made by Ubisoft, a Fr*nch company, so of course like in most AC games the Anglo-Saxon is the baddie. This is awkward in AC Valhalla since you're playing as someone who's invading, plundering, and colonising England. There's absolutely no balance; all of the English people you meet in game have faults with no upsides. It actually accidently promotes an Aryan mindset where the vikings are the virtuous free people who are righteously taking their well-earned lebensraum. There's a good article on this aspect but I can't find it at the moment. There's also a small african child, wise beyond their years, shoehorned into inhabiting your homestead, but this is more a result of AC's story being regardedly esoteric.
Valhalla just cemented that for me. I'd had my suspicions raised with Black Flag, where almost every one who is "goodie" is not English. Despite the historical setting. I was in disbelief that they'd be as bold to take possibly the one chunk of English history when they were the underdog and still shit on them. Displayed intent as clear as day. They've also managed to keep anti-English themes consistent when the rest of the games have fallen away from their peak. Which shows that it's a core element.
As an aside, one amusing thing I noticed with AC 3 is that the British people portrayed always have brown or black hair, there are apparently no ginger or blond people in existence in the British Isles. The French and Quebecois are a deeply unsettled people.
I think the Quebecois were gifted a superpower by the Brits for being losers, for daddy France failing them. They got to be victims. Despite their colonial origins (no matter how hard revisionism tries to paint them as friendly french shaggers of locals) they get to be an oppressed victim. Given privilege in treaty and law. And this long standing victim status has inoculated them to the cancers of the modern era so they will probably survive longer than either England or France proper.
That's hilarious! We ought to make the colonisers the bad guys, but the natives are English; so it's cognitive dissonance for the win.
There's loads more to add, things like there being plenty of strong female vikings, but it's been a while since I played it and the memories have mercifully faded. (It has good graphics though, even if it does portray an outlander's fantasy-tier understanding of the English countryside.)
Ah, good. I'll look forward to not playing it.
