Point is they waited to rehire him exactly how long it should take for him to be able to keep the severance pay. Even for 17k, they will go through loopholes.

I too can’t remember the last time I heard English spoken. 
Tory scums fecking over our Afghan translators and support time and time again. Just an utter disgrace how we’ve hung them out to dry. Many dead just for helping us out, and MOD can’t even spare money to answer emails. Meanwhile, Carrie managed to get some dogs out, yay.
Wonder how the Americans have done with this comparatively. Can’t be near as bad.

Truly can't wait until these shower of cnuts are shown the door.
I think the word you're looking for is racists.
(You could argue xenophobic but let's not split hairs)

Shop theft? Coming over here, stealing our shops
Actually I think it is as bad and maybe even worse
Whatever happens Labour should do a deal with the Lib Dems to get Electoral reform done, that's the biggest thing they can do for the country IMO, the politicians need to be accountable to the people which will never properly happen with FPTP, there's just too many safe seats that make some MP's untouchable no matter what they do
Sad state of affairs that we can’t protect our own. We’ve lost contact with every woman and the majority of guys who worked with our team. Those who got out did so via pot luck.
Yea absolutely but I don’t think it’s in labours interests.
In the US, it's they're immigrsants, we have no idea who they are, half of them are probably terrorists, BS of course but that's how a certain section push it
In the long run it probably is in Labour's interest, they'd likely be in power much more frequently becausethe hard left, which has always been their achilles heel, will be nullified to a certain extent, they same would pronbably apply to the Tories and their hard right side, so essentially there'd be more centrist policies overall, but you're right, in the short term it would probably cost them
Saw a few heartwarming bits over there from ones who’ve managed to join the army or marines, son of one guy even became a dog handler for the Chicago pd. we only get the “good” stories from fellas we worked with, but they seem to be integrated on a far better per unit basis (ie still have contact after getting stateside) than we have setup here. I’ve honestly not met a single Afghan since I became a civilian, which is partly my fault obviously but partly how our gov failed to get them out, and if they did, they become completely isolated from their units in a strange society they’ve never known. Sucks yours have immigran status, they should just get instant permanent residency and citizenship after a few years! These are not “immigrants” they are literally our brothers and sisters who risked their lives and those of their families to fight our enemies. /rant
I agree with you, but I think labour pass it in their 2022 conference then dropped it. Starmer is dead against it I think. One of the lads more into UK politics probably knows better. I just sigh and complain as it’s totally fecking hopeless. I ended up having to either vote for Corbyn or boris, and now the choice is starmer or Sunak. We’ve not had a sane viable left wing choice since I was able to vote, other than 2010.
When I could first vote it was a choice of Thatcher or Foot!
Joel Barnett of Barnett Formula fame was my MP in a safe Labour seat, he was nice unassuming fella, met him quite a few times, he said his formula was supposed to be a temporary thing and should have been abolished after a few years, they still have it!
Nice quip from Sunak regarding the Mid-Bedfordshire candidate, alas shame he is a contemptuous prick.
What a gigantic bellend.Ah. The good old days... when at least you knew the left from the right.
A Tory MP arrested for rape.
How many of this sitting government have now been charged with something dodgy? This is becoming ridiculous.

Wish it was someone else. He was a surprising Tory voice of reason on our government's stance on the Israel/Gaza war:
Didn't he speak out to support the other MP who got in trouble last year related to an underage boy?
I assume nothing came of his assertion that it was a grave miscarriage of justice?

Purely ideological move by the government to pander to the misconceptions of their core voter groups.
Don’t post that attention seeking bellend here ffs
Ahh is she a whopper?
I think this is telling of so much. Dorries gets completely embarrassed meeting google reps, but notes that her "embarrassment lasted 24 hours" because she needed to believe the conspiracies she created to keep her worldview in tact. She is literally saying she cannot live in a world where she can be wrong. Reality must be molded to her beliefs. Conservatives have completely given up on even the simple shit....like making a mistake.
Tory MPs seem to be especially useless at understanding technology.
I remember one of them slamming the left for the "vile search suggestions" that came up when searching a fellow MPs name and screenshotting the results to prove it. Turns out it was their previous searches popping up that they'd screenshotted.
And another one a while back kicking off at Labour for advertising Arab dating sites on their website. Not realising it was a Google Adsense advert!
Lycamobile fined 10m in France for money laundering, and 2 execs sent to jail.
HMRC refused to cooperate with the investigation, citing that Lycamobile was the biggest corporate Tory donor at that time.
Another UK clown show.

Sauce? That sounds criminal frankly.
The HMRC thing is old news, but the final case decision was made in Frace this week

When I first saw this headline yesterday, I had to read it three times to make sure I was reading it properly. Sacked for asking for a ceasefire. fecking joke.
Great piece on a sad topic. Includes a lot of information everyone here will be aware of but also includes things I hadn't known (for example the relative amount of refugees @ 20mins)
kind of scary how Boris was okay with thousands dying.
No ifs. No buts. No equivocation.
No wait, that was the other guy. The good one with the haircut.
Gin addled twat.
Hopefully it's the real nail in the coffin for the Tories. Can't imagine many of their older voters being happy with that little bit from Boris.
