True, but my point was rather the inconsistencies in Tory policies.
They're OK about helping someone who got stranded in Egypt trough no fault of their own, but also think it's OK to cut benefits to someone who ended up in a wheel chair trough no fault of their own.

Seems consistent enough to me. If you can afford to go on holiday, you've obviously got money to spend, so you're worth looking after.

If you're just some povvo in a wheelchair struggling to make ends meet, you're not supporting the economy and so if you haven't got the decency to just off yourself, then you shouldn't expect government help to live.

John Lewis have released their Christmas advert. So officially:

IT'S CHRISTMAS

I'm so pleased. With all this doom and gloom I need cheering up in a non-cynical commercialistic way

Only 49 sleeps

You won't believe the interesting and controversial news in this link!

Regardless of what you think about the ad -

Youtube views don't update regularly as there are view fraud checks in the background to stop payouts for advertising against bots etc.

All popular videos will have major lag between views shown on screen and actual counts.

Q: How meta it would be if the John Lewis advert was on Youtube with adverts so JL could reap the advertising revenue?

A: Vaguely meta.

^^ lol! i love sesame street. which one is aram's dad?

You can't run paid pre-rolls on your own channel and it's very likely JL have disabled ads on thier own channel anyway.
