You know, they don't actually check the address or name you put in when registering for a nectar card. Imagine what would happen if enough people accidentally put the wrong details in there - I can't imagine the data would be worth as much if it's mostly nonsense.

At some point though, surely humanity and justice have to take precedence over politicking - I don't think the need to tiptoe around issues like that is a good enough reason for excusing the collective punishment of 2 million people.

Is this an equilavant of stolen valour but for DJs?

Ah okay, what Stamer's leadership is doing is underhanded and an abuse of power, but at least they're doing it for the 'right reasons'.

I also don’t think it’s true that they’re not going to do a lot in office.

I feel if you think this you're in some kind of denial. They've rolled back on so much...

And the commitments (if that's the right word) they do have are so wishy-washy and toothless. For example the housebuilding one is that they'll let developers build on more green belt and increase housing targets, no talk of investment of any kind - I'm sorry that's not a serious policy! That's like homoeopathy for policies! Green energy is much the same now that they've postponed (i.e. canned) the £28 billion green investment plan.

I guess we'll see on workers' rights, but as said in the article you've linked, a lot of the unions are dissatisfied with labour on that front which isn't really a good sign for a big, serious commitment.

Winning and then doing almost nothing to fix the problems doesn't really help the rest of us though.

What we're banking on then is that they're actually misleading everyone right now and are actually going to do quite at lot once in office. But the question is whether that's actually likely or not...

Even if it was the case - it's not exactly a symptom of a health democracy...

Was with you there until the Greens, while I also think they're probably better than Labour and Conversistive atm they have much the same structural problems as any party. And more power and influence will likely exacerbate them imo. I think we have to somehow look beyond Westminister, and electoralism if we want to make a positive change in the country.

You may find it difficult to insure if you keep it in the van

In my personal experience, workplaces having shower facilities really help with this. Not sure if that's universal though.

Is it by a Mr Iain Banks?

Shower when you arrive at work (if there are facilities)
