The blokes arrested for stealing diesel have done more to improve national security than the government.

Glued together some Tzangor Enlightened with Spears today. Not the most enjoyable kit to paint tbh, hopefully only doing 3 at a time will stop me losing my mind doing it. I've got 9 more to make (3 of them with bows) after this too.

They are trying to build a data centre right next to a wetland nature reserve in my town. The noise and heat from it will be devastating, as well as the proposed diesel generator backups.

I wish there was a single member of the UK government who gave this much of a shit about the Arts, but nope. The UK is entirely a tool for siphoning wealth and opportunities into the hands of the elite.

The points for Custodes seem a little high in places but I'm glad the team got the Memo about making them more elite. Wish the team doing Loyalist Marines got that memo tho, because compared to them everything seems over-costed.

The UK is like the 6th wealthiest nation on the planet, but we have huge poverty, nothing works and everything is getting worse. If even the very richest places in the world can't even maintain quality of life under Capitalism, it's undeniable that Capitalism is entirely unworkable.

A Rubric Marine is now 8 points per model more expensive than an intercessor. Even Heavy Intercessors are cheaper than Rubrics. Absolutely ridiculous how cheap Loyalist marines are, and how expensive Tsons are now.

Obviously Braverman is racist. Whilst in power she oversaw and implemented racist policies. Just like all the other Tories and all the Labour cabinet MPs. Racism is a core ideal of those with power in the UK.

Labour are advertising their Social Care service with the words "everyone is covered" despite the fact they've said it's only for pensioners. Feels like if we had any kind of meaningful regulation, these adverts would be criminally misleading.

Braverman is expressing a view that is commonly held throughout the establishment in the UK that she's heard many times in the corridors of power. It's a driving ideal held by those in power, but it's not one people are supposed to say out loud, she has given the game away.

Ridiculous to see people who should know better fawning over Burnham and claiming he's some kind of socialist when he's overseeing segregation and is about to implement the deadliest cuts to disability support we've ever seen in the UK.

The Social Care Service announcement now appears to fully be a scam that essentially forces Pensioners to pay for their own social care by reducing their pension to the worst level in the developed world. It's a service only for Pensioners rather than the headline claim and is a cost cutting plan.

Space Marine basic dudes got big buffs and went up 1 point per model, yet for some reason Thousand Sons Rubric Marines went up 3 points despite losing a chunk of their damage. Did a Space Wolf write this balance slate?!?!

Mamdani became Mayor and immediately started putting his policies into action. Meanwhile a Labour PM with a massive majority is saying he'll only do these things people want if they win the next election. How is anyone falling for Burnham's deception here?

Repelling the privatised water bill is meaningless if the government has no intention to nationalize water. Establishing a commission on vote reform is meaningless if this government has no intention of implementing its recommendations. Proper key jangling stuff that fools the gullible.

Means testing is just wedge used to turn the obviously outrageous "should we have this social net at all" into "who deserves this social net?". Every edge case is then used as an argument to diminish provision until it's gone. Cynically using people's sense of fairness to fuck everyone over.

Burnham is trying to copy the Democrat playbook by saying "we'll do this thing if you re-elect me in three years, don't ask why we don't do it in power now". The Dems did this with codifying Roe V Wade for ages and never did it, and now Roe V Wade has been easily brushed aside by the fascists

The whole WotC survey thing about Harry Potter IP just shows that the people in charge would happily fund far right hate campaigns as long as it makes them enough money and that's all they are trying to gauge with the question. Zero principles at all.
