      Is this what having a strong social safety net looks like where you don’t risk losing your job and being homeless and destitute for taking a moral stand?

        No. The “benefits system” or “safety net” or whatever is really quite basic and not fit for supporting a modern family, contrary to what the Daily Fail would have people believe. Losing a job is devastating financially and emotionally, as it would be elsewhere. The main positive is healthcare is still free regardless of whether you’re drawing a giro or £250k a year.

        It still takes massive balls to stand together like that and fuck him off. Good effort.

        You don’t risk losing your job because your boss isn’t an immoral shill for some capitalist corporation, so he’s actually in on the protest and thus won’t fire you.

        Solidarity (and also labour laws Europe has less fire at will policies)

        It’s likely more down to social cohesion. Smaller villages all know each other (or at least passingly aware). They also don’t have a huge pool of workers to draw upon.

        If all your staff agree it’s an issue, then finding replacement staff won’t be trivial. Also, a large chunk of your customer base likely agrees. Finally, a small pub is unlikely to be run by a big shot CEO. They will have a lot more empathy than the average middle manager.

        Then they put coke on the plate of drinks and arrest you for having illegal drugs.

        Best thing is always just to ignore them until they go away. Never answer the door.

                  you miss the defining point of your argument, ones from a different country trying to arrest someone, and yes, some of them have done time for that.

      Residents in Charlbury and the tiny hamlet of Dean, where the manor house is situated, quickly grew weary of Vance and his entourage of vehicles and Secret Service agents.

      Wow, overzealous much? No one wants to kill Vance, what’s the point!? 😂 He’s like wasps or mosquitoes, people just want him to go away…

          Being a dipshit is not a protected class.

          It’s wrong to turn people away based on things they can’t change. Race, gender, sexuality

          It’s completely okay to turn someone away for their shit beliefs. I will tolerate you being a shit person. I will not be nice to you.

            How do you feel about Putin having an arrest warrant out for him by the ICC for his warcrimes for his illegal war of aggression in Ukraine and the countless crimes against humanity like trafficking Ukrainian children?

            Or perhaps you can’t discuss it, for fear of accidentally falling out of a window? ;>

              I think what Russia is doing to Ukraine is not only horrible but it’s also straight up war crimes.

              I think they should start up the courthouses in Nuremberg to handle both Russia’s and Israel’s crimes.

                And Putin, personally?

                Is he “just as bad as other world leaders”, or perhaps we can admit Zelensky is nowhere near the immorality and criminality of Putler. Or, would you disagree?

                  I think Putin is very good looking for a war criminal.

      I can tolerate someone’s right the be human scum and continue living. That doesn’t mean I have to serve them in any fashion or be near them in any way.

    James Donald Bowman is the epitome of a bellend and an insult to humanity.

    The vice president had reportedly attempted to dine at The Bull in Charlbury, Oxfordshire, an early 16th-century countryside pub with a Michelin Bib Gourmand, a prestigious award from the Michelin Guide that highlights restaurants offering excellent food at moderate prices.

    “It’s been the talk of the village-it’s the most exciting thing that’s happened here for a very long time,” one local told British tabloid The Sun of Harris’s visit to the venue, where a steak will set diners back $98.

    Uh…

      If you look at the image of the menu in the article, most of the stuff costs far less than that. It’s a bit deceptive to mention it the way they did.

        I mean… it’s sirloin. Not Wagyu premium beef from the royal herd, adorned with gold leaf and truffle butter… It’s just cow.

          and some steak costs $300… what’s your point? £98 for a steak isn’t ridiculous… there’s a £26 pie there too and all their other prices are reasonable: i assume it’s just a really good cut

          But if they charge more it tastes better, right?
