What I’m seeing over the last few years is a lot of successful millennials from tech, finance etc starting to see just how bad most in gov are and the systems surrounding it. Totally incompetent, with useless backgrounds of fake work. Systems that are broken and would be rebuilt if it were a private sector project.

A landmark former hotel in Ballycastle is in such a derelict state that it's holding up a £2m revamp of the town, the BBC understands. The Antrim Arms dates back hundreds of years but its dangerous state meant cordons were put around it last year. Maria McCann reports.

This is a man who desires nothing more than to be admired, whose entire shtick revolves around presenting himself as a hero worthy of envy and emulation (lest we forget, he 'identifies with Gandhi and Martin Luther King'). To people like Maugham, any perceived diminution of what they believe to be their exalted status feels like a mortal attack, which is why every loss must be spun as a win, and black must be made to be white if the facts threaten his self-image. He's just the latest in a long line of people on social media who think they're dealing me a fatal blow by telling me I've lost popularity, that my legacy is tarnished or that former fans hate me. None of these people appear to grasped yet that I'm completely indifferent to being disliked by people I've never met, especially those I do not respect because of their online behaviour or what I believe to be their irrational and illiberal views. Maugham is a textbook narcissist who can't believe that everyone else doesn't live life with an unceasing thirst for validation from complete strangers. In spite of the fact that we've never met, and that as the years have rolled by I've been very open about the fact that I find his public behaviour increasingly bizarre, he seems to genuinely believe that the loss of his approval will cause me anguish. In reality, it's a welcome source of ongoing entertainment, so long may he continue.

14% fewer public toilets in england than 10 years ago. they aren't a council's statutory duty. SEND, social care and homelessness are. Most people can remember when their town had a staffed public toilet.

While it is hard to put a verifiable number on an unknown, the immigration problem persists and it's worse than anyone can possibly imagine. Now that the mass deportations have stopped (and we can argue whether or not they ever occurred in the first place), this will continue to be a problem for a while. Even on my maps alone, every single one of these yellow diamonds is a safehouse of an organization that openly states that they are working to help illegal immigration. Note the brazenness of this. I'm just one guy plotting these points in my spare time, and so far I've listed thousands of facilities which openly state on their own website that they are working to help illegals evade detection. Not even trying to hide it or state that "oh we're just a resettlement group that helps LEGAL immigrants after they get a greencard". Nope, none of that grey-area stuff that will have to go to court to confirm. I'm only plotting the groups that openly confess to crimes on their own website, and this is how many I have so far. If I start adding in the "immigrant support centers" which are more ambiguous, we're talking tens of thousands of locations. Note that on my maps, you will have to take the mailing address that I have listed for each location, and put it into google to find out what's at each location. I used to have a very neat explanation of all of the crimes that were being committed at each location, but I got a cease-and-desist letter from the law firms that are actively aiding criminals. Turns out that in America, criminals can sue you for exposing their crimes, so I've had to re-work a lot of my material. But this is what I have so far, and I've only just gotten started.

FYI, the headline UK unemployment rate unexpectedly fell from 5.2% to 4.9% in the 3m to February. Good news? Not really... This mainly reflects an unwelcome jump in economic inactivity (i.e. people not looking for work so not counted as unemployed), rather than more jobs.

Working people shouldn't bear the brunt of global gas price shocks while electricity generators make exceptional profits. So we're taking action to help break the link between high gas prices and high electricity prices, meaning stronger protection against future energy shocks.

Pigeons have to be the dumbest creature on the planet

a lot of what people are calling "japanese culture" on the internet is just the absence of breaking the law, i've noticed ???

"nobody wants to work anymore" imagine explaining a 5 round interview process to boomers

This character design creeps me out. Why does she look like a doll? Why is this blond child with a blowout running about barefoot? I have not yet played the game, is this expanded on in the plot? Or is it just to be eye candy for creeps?

本日、「防衛装備移転三原則」とその「運用指針」を改正しました。 これまで国産完成品の海外移転は、救難・輸送・警戒・監視・掃海（いわゆる「５類型」）に限定していましたが、今回の改正により、原則として全ての防衛装備品の移転が可能となります。 安全保障環境が厳しさを増す中、今やどの国も１カ国のみでは自国の平和と安全を守ることはできず、防衛装備面でもお互いを支え合うパートナー国が必要です。 現に、日本の防衛装備も、他国からの輸入やライセンス生産を通じ、様々な国によって支えられています。 こうした中、パートナー国からは日本が「専守防衛」の考え方の下で整備してきている防衛装備品に期待する声が寄せられています。 このようなニーズに応え、防衛装備移転を行うことは、これらの諸国の防衛力向上、ひいては、紛争発生の未然防止に貢献することとなり、日本の安全保障の確保につながります。 また、パートナー国が日本と同じ装備品を保有していれば、部品等を相互に融通しあうこともでき、相互の連携が強化されます。 同時に、装備移転に際しては、国際的な輸出管理の枠組みを遵守し、案件ごとに一層厳格に審査を行います。 移転先での適正な管理もしっかり確保します。 更に、移転先は、国連憲章に適合した使用を約束する国に限定します。 戦後８０年以上にわたる平和国家としてのこれまでの歩みと基本理念とを堅持することに、全く変わりはありません。 新たな制度の下、より厳正かつ慎重に移転の可否を判断しながら、装備移転を戦略的に推進してまいります。
