Lizzie45 “Or is it still defunct?”
Yes, guilty as charged.
So the Aussies aren’t signing up to your pipe dream any more than the Pommies are. Oh, deary me, that’s a shame!
More than 600 workers at housing charity Shelter began a two-week long strike in a dispute over pay on Monday, 5 December.
The Unite union has said that a 3 per cent pay increase has left some staff unable to pay their rent.
Oh dear. So this is what playing the only game in town comes down to. Telling the government to look after people’s needs. Pathetic.
You (and the rest of your cronies) are presumably sufficiently well-heeled, unlike the 2,347,511 households who were behind on their electricity bills and the 1,858,585 households behind on their gas bills at the end of June 2022.
A typical ‘devil take the hindmost’ attitude. Deplorable.
The number of UK households in arrears on their energy bills soared to record levels in the second quarter of this year, with more than two million behind on their electricity payments.
Data from the energy regulator OFGEM shows that at the end of June, 2,347,511 households were behind on their electricity bills and 1,858,585 on their gas bills. Both totals rose by about a quarter in just three months, and by almost two-thirds since the end of 2020.
“But does it diminish my admiration for her reporting in any way and drawing attention of the forum to her virtues?”
Probably not, but it does diminish my admiration for you. X
“Actually I have been out in the real world and soccer fans are joking at all the virtue signalling that is going on.”
Ah yes, soccer fans – well known for their hooliganism and tribalism – but very little else.

“I concede that thou might be holier than me.”
Never a truer word spoken. 🙂
“Virtual signalling as “a powerful force for social change” even if “there is no guarantee the people who are sending the signals are particularly virtuous or committed to the cause.” That’s a new one.”
Not really. You need to get out into the real world. You’ve clearly spent far too long as the SPGB’s CO (Commanding Officer?) 🙂
“They made a spectacle of themselves.”
According to whom? Piers Morgan and some reactionary Qatari ‘pundits’?
“They got accused of Islamophobia.”
So what? Corbyn and the Labour Party got accused of antisemitism.
‘Virtue signalling’, as you call it, can be a powerful force for social change, by creating common knowledge around a moral issue that people would otherwise ignore (out of complacency or selfishness). Significantly, this can work even when there is no guarantee the people who are sending the signals are particularly virtuous or committed to the cause.
Genuine question – when has your little cabal brought about any social change? Oh, wait…
All power to the German team. Good to see there are professional footballers with principles and the courage to stand by them.
“But the Christians were seducing good Romans and others away from the rites, so could not be tolerated.”
Nothing quite like a nice bit of seduction. 🙂
“It could be argued that the lack of attention to the stages of life is why so many under modern capitalism are so obsessed with sex, into old age even.”
Gee, you sound a real bundle of fun. Not an incel by any chance?
