how do you spell corruption.
Every fibre of me says thatās wrong but let me guess, thereās no rules, laws etc. that cover it.
All senior white male staff must get her signing off.
Is that not also a form of sdiscrimination?
Yes, I get the idea about improving diversity in the industry, but to my mind this is not the way to go about it.
Thatās a strange take. Energy bills are so high people canāt afford them. So letās not blame the energy company profiteering. Letās blame the poor people.
Classic capitalism divide and conquer stuff, this.

Canāt energy companys just cut off people who donāt pay?
Isnāt there social aid to help people pay their energy bills?
Energy companys that demand this should just be told to fuck off!
Iām not sure they can. What they may do instead is move them onto a metred connection which has to be paid in advance ( and is more expensive for the user?).

No, me neither. I think what Norcott misunderstands is that Whitehouse and āwokeā progressives are on completely opposite ends of the spectrum.
Mary Whitehouse was a conservative Christian, whoās complaint was with media that fit outside her very narrow window of what she deemed appropriate - which was essentially a regious framework. (Although she had a point with Dr Who)
Modern progressives are pushing inclusion, which to me is the opposite.
Watching those old Hinchcliffe Doctor Whoās now, Iām stuck by how far they pushed the boundary of what is reasonable in a kids show. Hinchcliffe did take it too far in terms of horror and gore, and Iām not surprised the BBC conceded her point in the end.

Clearly.
Iād have been more surprised if you hadnāt found something to object to
Watching it at the time the difference between the previous Barry Letts series, which was an action adventure series with a strong progressive political theme to the Hinchclffe gothic horror was stark.
Having said that, there is some of the best 1970s TV in there. As are some of his later productions.

When these tenders were awarded, would the UK still have been bound by EU regulations?
The whole thing is a massive case of corruption. I know that Bill Esterson said that a firm in his constituency was specifically excluded from tenders even though they were a specialist manufacturer for 50 years with stock that was ready to go.
Instead of that it was backhanders for their pals whilst people were literally dying due to a lack of kit.

It is the greatest trick of all timeā¦Tories having convinced working class people they care about working class issues.
The Tories/GOP/Liberalsā¦whereverā¦they exist only to strip assests and funnel money upwards.
The end.
