Alas I can’t find any news reports in the UK stating hundreds of thousands, that’s a really significant number of people for the UK, rather tens of thousands. Last year saw 300,000 pro Palestine protesters head to London, but it appears to be an over-‘estimation’ for this protest. Great to see people still going out in the UK though.
Beat me too it! Blue Screen of Death - a wall that freezes and blinds all players and can only be countered by force-reboot. Found only in the most popular rpg game that’s also played by non-rpg-ers and is derised by hardcore rpg-ers!

Living standards have improved for many, but at the expense of others through exploitation. Like you say, an age old story. We’re just incredibly lucky to catch a period in the history of mankind where the improvements have benefitted more than just the rich/elite.
Success in business (profit) requires exploitation, which requires few or very select morals to reach the very top. Those people you describe sound a perfect fit!
‘…unemployed minors…’
We’d all get arrested, our lovely Conservative government has essentially made many forms of demonstration illegal! Besides, no-one is that desperate as yet. There’d need to be some massively bad situation to drive people to go that far and we’re some way from that. We’re also the antithesis of the French in terms of inclination to strike! Stiff upper lip and all that!
I’m deciding between those two (again!) myself. I really like the Greens social policies, but they ran Brighton and Hove council pretty badly from what I’ve heard so not sure they’ve got the personnel to do the basics. I’m edging towards libdem but if only Ed Davey wasn’t involved in the post office scandal…
Yeah both Labour and Conservatives have a long history of not delivering election promises once in power. So much so it’s pretty much expected. It’s a pretty useless way of trying to decide on who to vote for unfortunately! I personally look at the character of the party members as a guide as well as the base principles of the party when there’s not an election due.
Many of us would love that, but it’s in the hands of those in power…and they won’t change it unless they think it’ll be to their advantage, which neither of the two main parties are ever likely to do as the current system supports them as being the two most likely to win power.
It’s one more than ten, so yeah, it’s better.
Vegetable stir-fry, curry or similar should be easily do-able. There’s plenty of fresh veg that will keep long enough out of a fridge or canned asian veg is decent. Tomato or pesto pasta. Stew made with canned beef isn’t bad. Omlette.
Do you have a cool bag/box? Grab a bag of ice and you have a fridge for a few days. Even a plastic box would do the trick.
