    I doubt it can be any worse than the last fourteen years. I’m choosing to have faith in Starmer and Labour. I need to be optimistic because what we just got rid of was so monumentally poor.

      @@Jack-uy7ieand why - because LABOUR destroyed this country. The Tories just carried it on with the same policies as Blair and his Davos friends. They are the same Uniparty of Davos. We’re not allowed a choice unless it’s the one chosen for us. Hence Brexit Derangement, Trump Derangement and shenanigans like those in France to block the party with the most votes and in Germany to block the AfD from running at all. How go you not see how wrong that is? IT’S NOT UP TO THEM it’s supposed to be up to US.

    I’m a believer in Starmer and have been for some time ! It was like watching a chess master the way he dispatched boris the liar and every step since , he is a facilitator building a team without fear of surrounding himself with talented individuals , the end result will be solving problems as opposed to covering them up or exploiting them for personal gain.

      ​@@direnova6284yeah I was of a similar mindset to Vince and was fairly confident that he was doing what he/his advisors thought necessary to get safely over the line and once in office things would change but completely understood why others were critical and distrustful.
      Like us here in America, y'all have gone through a collective trauma and it's still ongoing because of just how deeply austerity and the flagrantly irresponsible uses of power by the Tories have affected every part of the country. It will take a while to really get things back on track but this burst of optimism and joy from many should be encouraged I think, rather than tempered (so long as it's within reason of course, gotta stay in facts and what is possible), because letting yourselves feel it is healing. It's also an important part of countering the far right populists and reactionaries. Two big reasons the left struggles to build/maintain a movement are that there's a constant ideological purity test and that any small win is chastised. It constantly drags morale down. So yep, let's revel in this relief a bit! Personally I'm glad I don't feel as worried about my UK friends and their children and the election in general is a big boost and inspiration for us here 🇬🇧💙🇺🇸

    for the 4 day work week .. many jobs have alot of wasted time (meetings, extended breaks, etc), and people focus and "get the work done". Basically, the workers are getting something out of this also .. not just the company. 4x11 hour days was setting up for failure. I remember in the USA some companies tried 4x9 days, and it was very successful for many companies, but it was difficult for management to accept the success. I am living in Tokyo, and here people work 11-12 hour days, and many will work 6 day weeks. But productivity is very low since there is no incentive to be productive. Instead they just put in the hours, and accept the long hours. I regularly attend 2 hour meetings, which typically do not resolve any issues. There is nothing that supports efficiency.

      I can understand that you are looking for hope in Labour. The problem is that Labour has always been anti-EU since the 1970s! The Tories had problems getting into the EU back then because of this. The Labour reform paper also says that they will continue to do what they are used to, splitting the EU! They want to persuade EU countries to have more nationality in the EU countries and less EU!
      That is the opposite of what the EU countries want, a united Europe, the EU vision!
      Now ask yourself what the EU will say and do about it? The tough BREXIT on the part of the EU back then will lead to a new, more violent EU First edition. That is the opinion of top economists. That is the reality that destroys hopes. Things will get a little better in certain areas, but not like they were before.

    I have to admit, as a lifelong Labour voter, I'd decided some time ago I just could not vote Labour with Starmer leading. My view was largely based on his resolute refusal to even consider our membership of the Single Market. My views were hardly challenged up to the election, although I came to realise it was necessary to limit the potential for attack from the Tory media. I must admit, I held my nose to some extent when I voted Labour this time, motivated more by absolute hatred of the various Tory governments of the last 14 years, each one worse than the previous. I was wrong, but I got it right in the end.

    2:00 I recommend Time Shifting by Stephan Rechtschaffen M.D. Our experience of time is subjective no matter how many different ways there are of measuring it objectively. Rechtschaffen describes how the notion of "work ethic" was invented early in the Industrial Revolution simply because up until then, our mostly agrarian workforce were used to a sort of built in 'flexi time' - aka, the British weather. In other words they were obliged to intelligently determine the best and most productive use of their time, hour by hour, day by day, season by season.
    He gives the example of such a worker turning up for work at a factory or mill or mine, only to be told that there was nothing for them to do because a machine was broken and wouldn't be repaired until the next day - so they went home to get on with something useful. They return the next morning to find they'd been fired, not having appreciated that the mill or factory owner also OWNS them for the period of their shift - even if it means twiddling your thumbs achieving nothing. So if you didn't have 'work ethic' (along with all the 'know your place' stuff) then the chances were poor that you'd keep a job and would therefore starve.
    Psychologically this represents a truly enormous shift from everything that had gone previously: we thought about time one way for 250,000+ years and countless generations, mostly measuring our days in terms of what we've managed to get done, balanced with a sense of efficiency of effort. Then it's turned upside down in the space of a paltry 200 years and a half a dozen generations.
    Small wonder then that when you give people back at least a measure of this autonomy they generally do better.

There would have to be a four day Friday through Monday shift for an up and coming employee or intern. Monday they would consult with their boss and tie up any loose ends. Tuesday Wednesday Thursday would eventually take on new meaning and give a boost to most businesses midweek.

Maybe (as I opine) Corbyn should have nailed Labour's colours solidly and early to the Remain mast, that's a different subject, but Starmer's done very well for a guy who only joined the party ten years ago?

    A non-solution again, what a not surprise. The coast of Britain with Europe is about 1000 km long (on a scale of 50 km in Google Maps). That's more than the length of the whole British/Scottish island. You want a border guard that have to control a border the size of the UK. And I just measured the south most British coast. Then, if they apprehend the refugees, what to do with them? The only thing they can do is to ship them to Britain. But then the UK Border Security Command will be nothing more than a ferry service.

And I know exactly why: because the UK don't have the money. Hiring x thousands of staff would cost a lot more than an ineffective UK Border Security Command, and it doesn't sound fancy.
