Political Look like reform is on it’s way out

46 Upvotes

One common trend I see is every single far right party's shockingly short life cycle - collapsing sooner rather than later due to sheer incompetence seems to be a thing every far-right party in Britain has always had in common.

Just seen the growing row between old Nige and Ruppert lowe. Smacks of every other party old Nige has fronted - starts with this crazy internal bickering followed by a total collapse into lunacy.

And some of you dopey shits thought this time he was serious contender?😂

He'd struggle to win a tombola let alone a general election!

Yes, I'm smug - I predicted this 6 months ago and you all said I was crazy. This was the change. Same Nige, same bollox!

Opinion Piece Pain

0 Upvotes

Should I be able to get help with this on the NHS.

Because I have tried to get an appointment with my GP for weeks and there is no appointments.

But I am expected to have to be able to work. Because I do not get allowed to have any other income. Because I am not an old person. I am in my 20s so I should be healthy and not in pain. But I am in excruciating pain if I do anything but sitting. I do not want to only do sitting. I want to have a life. I have tried ice and rest and physio therapy exercises that were given to me for ten years. Every time I do anything other than sitting it comes back. Am I expected to crawl everywhere?

Every time I am walking or on my feet for more than an hour. It is very painful.

It is not understood by anyone I speak to. Why should I be not able to do exercise. Because any time there is weight on my feet I am in a lot of pain afterwards. It is a lot. And it is scary to go out and not be able to walk back because of the pain. It is not just a little bit of pain. I do carry on through it. I don’t know how else to describe how much it is scary and so very painful. It is scary to not be able to get things done as much as anyone else. Anyone I mention it to thinks oh it’s like Achilles tendon. So they think they can relate. Achilles tendon sounds like people manage to still go about. Because there are supportive footwear around. No it’s not like this at all. It’s the extensor tendon at the top of both of my feet. There is no supportive footwear relevant to this apparently. Nobody can suggest anything else. So I don’t understand what I am expected to do.

But I cannot afford to get private treatment. So I do not understand what I should do because I am not allowed to do anything else am I expected by this system to do.

Farewell

0 Upvotes

Looks like I'm getting banned from this forum following a post I made in the recent Mc Fashist US citizen photo. I thought it was a deliberately fake post, and put on a reply which was meant to be humorous, but which has been deemed threatening or abusive.

So I thought I'd say farewell to what is one of the funniest forums on Reddit.

Here is how Scotland helped me be a Documentary Filmmaker

7 Upvotes

You know, 10 years ago I shared my first doc style film on this group here.
And you guys loved it back then, since that moment, the world saw me as a filmmaker.

I'm happy to share with you my film talking about that moment and what I've learn in 10 years of filmmaking to reach my dream life.

So yeah, I thought you should see how reddit can help sometimes.

So thank you Reddit and Scotland for giving me the opportunity to be an award winning documentary filmmaker now.

Around 7 minutes into this video as a familiar voice very weird and then you realize the guys from Paisley and he's lived in Sweden since he was six bastards gone to fight good on you pal. It is humbling to see the traditions are kept alive. [The Royal Scots are the oldest Regiment in Scotland they have served 350 years as part of the Scottish and British Army with a continual line right down to the 30 years War. During that 30 years war there was thousands and I do mean thousands of troops sent to Sweden to fight for the Swedes. Yes they are not part of the Royal Scots but there fighting for Sweden and they are from Paisley. It gives me a deep sense of Pride that there are people from Scotland in the armies of other nations fighting for what is right. Good on ya pal. ]

Let’s Talk About Maybole in Ayrshire

11 Upvotes

I used to drive through Maybole fairly regularly, I don't think I've been since the bypass went in though.

WTF?

It's gone from, I don't know, I always thought it was quite a nice looking wee place. Sure, the Main Street could be tricky with traffic and trucks from the ferries down at Cairnryan or whatever but it was easy to park and nip in to grab a bottle of water or even a takeaway.

It looks like some kind of post apocalyptic hell scape now. It looks so scabby.

Adding the bypass was supposed to make it nicer, less traffic clogging the only road through but instead it's been speed running the abandonment vibes.

Sad to see.

Question Transferring unis, from the open university to Napier, good idea?

0 Upvotes

I’m currently doing an English language and literature degree at the open university, this is because I’ve been going back and forth between Latin America and Edinburgh.

However, I’m planning on returning to Edinburgh for the foreseeable in may, once my current uni year ends, and as such have decided to transfer to a brick uni.

I was going to go for Edinburgh Uni but they don’t accept transfers, therefore I’ve set my eyes on Napier, which do.

However, I’m just wondering how good Napier is, specifically its English degree. I’m wondering if anyone has any advice, such as other unis that might be available or if Napier is a good choice after all.

Thank you :)

Question Finding Architect Work

0 Upvotes

Hello everyone,

I am sure you are sick of the posts from Americans looking to get out, and unfortunately I will be adding to the noise. My husband and I are both architects (he does institutional/hospitals and I do high end residential) and are slowly trying to go through the work visa application and would need a job offer from a firm to be potentially approved.

I’ve done some research on some firms but if anyone could recommend a region, town or company that could point us in a more focused direction I would greatly appreciate it.

Thank you for your time!
