The problem the other parties have if that Clapton voted for Farage. At least in Clacton there is some appetite for what reform or pushing, obviously they are being sold on a lie but that's not important.

Farage has obviously done his homework and concluded that there is still support for him in Clacton. So given the outcome of this election is a foregone conclusion, and is basically just a media circus, isn't the better option simply not to engage. If the people of Clacton have already spoken, and said they don't want to be represented by the conservatives, or labour, or the greens, or the liberal democrats, they want to be represented by reform, what is the point in relitigating that?

What will be meaningful is if he is recalled, that will indicate to the parties that there is some appetite in Clapton for change. Farage just announcing that he's resigning for his own personal reasons doesn't indicate a desire for change on behalf of the constituents.

Everyone hates working for American companies when they try and push American customer service onto anyone else.

I don't want to be told thank you for calling the company, I'm calling because there's a problem because I want something not to have a chat. It's so cringe-worthy.

The reason that IT often gets lumped with this stuff is because if you leave it to anybody else they do it wrong especially logistics.

Everyone except the IT department is now banned from ordering new IT equipment because they'll order a bunch of laptops and then act all surprised when this huge pallet of devices arrives as if they didn't just order one. So then it just sits in the entrance lobby the days on end until someone from IT comes and opens the pallet and takes the laptops upstairs. If they do that with new pens that's fine, no one's going to steal them.

It'll be worse than smart watches that tell you that you've been sat down for too long.

Oh that's useful. I've often wondered what my current emotion is, I'm so glad technology has been created to help me with this issue.

Now I'm going to know if I'm currently happy or not. Of course I haven't got the technology yet so I'm not sure how I feel about this. I'll let you know.

So essentially means not being a conservative?

I suspect most people on business accounts and they can't really mess with businesses as much as customers

That first explosion was huge, then there was some smaller explosions which could have been high calibre rounds and then later on stuff that was definitely just gunfire. I'm wondering if the first explosion was an RPG.

I was wondering why you had to turn the air conditioning off just to be able to drive past someone.

In the United States at least I suspect that there won't be many of the centralists because the way US politics works there isn't really a place for them. It's a two-party system so you kind of have to be one thing or the other.

 

When you reveal a spoiler the black rectangles go away and it then renders the text in white, but on a white background (light coloured theme) The text renders is exactly the same colour as the background and so you can not see it unless you highlight the post, this renders the background of the post as light grey and there is just about enough contrast difference to now read the text.

When spoiler text is revealed it should render in the same colour as normal text. I'm not sure why it's white.

See images below for demonstration.
