Priti’s Gone
Apologies for Metro link but the news is out that Priti Patel has “resigned”.
Edit: for my own 2p worth this just makes May look even weaker. If she couldn’t rustle up the backbone to sack Patel for a gaffe like this and she continues to let Boris do his thing without consequence she’ll be resigning herself before too long. Add in the Brexit papers embarrassment and one can be forgiven for wondering if anyone in government is doing much in the way of governing. At least on the bright side I’ve learnt more about one of the few Tory MPs I have any respect for, in the form of Anna Soubry.

I don't really think it makes May look weaker.
If you're about to sack someone and they resign in front of you then you simply accept their resignation as convenient. You certainly don't look any stronger by indignantly refusing the resignation then immediately declaring they're fired.

There's a big difference between being sacked and being asked/told to resign.
One's a badly-needed show of leadership qualities and the other is a face-saving gesture, which in this case means Patel saves face and May loses face.
I don't believe for one minute that Patel resigned voluntarily but I suppose we'll never know, which is rather the point. That said if this were any normal job she'd have been sacked on the spot and this is another example of the double-standards we see applied to politics vs. everyday life.
Let's not forget that the final straw was Patel not disclosing meetings with Israeli political figures after just being chewed out for the exact same thing. She had her chance to come clean and, frankly, was just taking the piss. There should be consequences for her actions, not just a free pass to go back to her old job.

It depends what you mean by resigned voluntarily though.
If you're definitely going to be sacked (everyone knows it), then it's just politeness to resign. It's voluntary in the sense that you are volunteering to be polite about it, but you are not going to be doing the job any more either way so the resignation is forced.
Ultimately there is no difference. She would be just as free to get another job in government later if she was sacked, although perhaps marginally less likely to be offered it by a colleague due to a possible perceived risk of being a boat rocker if things don't go your way.

It's the disparity between normal life and Westminster that I find most galling.
If you meet an old friend who works for a competitor and let slip a few trade secrets you expect to be called in front of the management and if you're very, very lucky you'll be given the chance to come clean and apologise rather than be dismissed on the spot.
If you then squander that chance for contrition and it's later found out that you gave them the special sauce recipe as well then any other employer would have you out of the door faster than you can say P45. I don't think I'm being especially harsh in thinking that being shown clemency and essentially throwing it in their face should have real consequences, like having the whip withdrawn. We see the same sort of thing happening in board rooms the world over where executives, having royally fucked up, get a nice pay-off and a friendly handshake.
We can agree to disagree about sacking vs. compulsory resignation, but surely you can see why many people are annoyed when politicians do things like this and seem to get off scot-free.

If I remember correctly
The resignation often comes after a sacking and legally it is the resignation that is used as the reason. Something to do with the fact that a sacking has to be in writing whereas a resignation is verbal. Therefore it is possible that May sacked her and she saved face by resigning.

The way I see it
Is that the writer comes across like someone who had no idea there was anything dark on the net. Really naive? Hmmm
Also, I watched the prettily-titled BURIED ALIVE and I think that most kids would more likely get bored and switch iff than watch it hypnotised. Bots have no creativity, wit or understanding of storytelling.
He says he doesn't have kids so doesn't really get these points I guess. So, yet another person getting offended on behalf of other people.

Have you met any young children?
And did you look at the black squiggles between the pictures - the things we call words?

Some people are deliberately creating deeply disturbing content - while at first glance innocent- for kids which is getting past any and all child friendly filters
Bots are churning out really weird variants on themes - and some of this could also cause harm to children

Yes, I dont see how the majority of these examples damage kids
Any more than people were saying video games were before, etc. Trying to patronise me isn't exactly a great defence TACFC. They are mind-numbing rubbish and kids just wouldn't fall for this when they could watch decent animations on another channel. As for the early years videos, parents should be keeping an eye on what they're watching anyway. Final point, kids aren't dumb.
People have different opinions so we should discuss this rather than, oh I don't know randomly choosing something...putting them on ignore. Oh, you didn't do that did you?

It's an interesting subject I think
I was pleased when a video of mine got a couple of million views, but realised that it's nothing when I saw my kid watching a video of someone opening Kinder Eggs - 42 million views. Most of these videos are just click bait purely for the ad revenue. Seems like the titles are generated by algorithms, but actual people make the videos - and if they can make enough videos with different variations of keywords, they can make money - sometimes a lot. I don't think there's any dark intentions behind most of these videos (unless it's those pesky Ruskies again)
I imagine Google will get round to doing something about it in the same way they change their search algorithms to downgrade websites using sneaky SEO practices. Eventually.

Can someone explain this to me?
Specifically this:
In the olden days, when I was alive, television used to "live" for things like football matches. What you saw on the telly was actually happening. The only control you had over it was to switch to another channel, or switch off. So, if something exciting or interesting happened, the broadcaster would show an action replay, anticipating the viewer going "wtf?".
It's 2017. Most of what I watch, I watch on Youtube. The rest, I watch streamed from my PC or on my SkyHD box. EVERY SINGLE MEDIA SOURCE I HAVE allows me to pause, rewind and replay any section of video it shows, at will, all the time.
So why THE ACTUAL FUCK do Youtube video makers waste my FUCKING TIME making a 30 second video that consists of the same 15 second clip, twice?

The only control you had over it was to switch to another channel, or switch off. So, if something exciting or interesting happened, the broadcaster would show an action replay, anticipating the viewer going "wtf?".
It's 2017. Most of what I watch, I watch on Youtube. The rest, I watch streamed from my PC or on my SkyHD box. EVERY SINGLE MEDIA SOURCE I HAVE allows me to pause, rewind and replay any section of video it shows, at will, all the time.
So why THE ACTUAL FUCK do Youtube video makers waste my FUCKING TIME making a 30 second video that consists of the same 15 second clip, twice?

From that very page
"In British English, traditional usage favours railway station or simply station, even though train station, which is an Americanism, is now misused instead of railway station in writing."

That's clearly not correct though.
I take no issue with the first part of that sentence.
But misused? Is there a more correct usage for "train station" than meaning "station for trains" such that using it as "station for trains" counts as misuse?
That's clearly just someone's opinion, and not an objective fact. So I have corrected it.

I have to declare an interest here
as my wife works in international aid and a lot of their funding comes from DFID. I believe the majority of the projects they're working on are actually completely sensible - the one my wife is on certainly is. However the ones that grab the headlines are clearly in the "what the hell were you thinking" category, and there seems to be a serious problem in some areas in ensuring the aid isn't siphoned off by the regime before it reaches the intended recipients.

Yes.
They are the only government department that are obliged, BY LAW, to spent the entirety of their budget and if they do not they have to make a statement to the House explaining why. You know how councils suddenly become highly concerned about fixing kerbs and paving stones in the run up to April even when they don't need fixing... Their budget is fixed, again BY LAW, at 0.7% of GDP.

That's how all government departments work.
Underspend by 10% this year and (rather than a pat on the head for being efficient) you get 10% less than whatever you ask the Treasury for next year.
Fortunately there are plenty of government suppliers who are good at 'helping out' the procurement people and pricing based on what's currently in the pot (which is how you get to the NHS and MOD paying shitloads for spoons and pens and stuff).
But enough of that! Lets get back to decrying celebrities who avoid tax...

No. It's not illegal to underspend in any other department, no other department has to give a statement to the house if they underspend, and no other department has their budget set as an elastic percentage of GDP.
Apart from that, it's exactly the same.
