NEW: Reform's Ben Habib suggests Lee Anderson is inadequate to be a Reform candidate

"I would be quite circumspect about anyone who can't express themselves accurately, clearly and in matters of great sensitivity... Lee clearly hasn't got a grasp"

The absolute state of this Tory clownshoe!

Doubled down on the divisive rhetoric then embarrassingly realised how much of a fud he sounded and reeled it back.

The sense of ownership humans have with their cars means there will always be a market. A £30k investment in a vehicles sees people viewing their car as an extension of their home (which partly explains the weird mentality people have on the roads).

Unless public transport costs reduce drastically, services and reliability improves it will always be the cheaper & efficient option for the average Joe
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Current generations have a love for car ownership. The generations who come through with this technology might not though.

Personally, I don't care much for cars. Just see it as an asset that is currently essential to modern life. If it becomes an asset I don't need as it is cheaper to hire a driverless one, I'd quite happily not own one.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
What I’ve noticed since covid is the average “starting” age for students is early to mid 20s. No longer are parents pushing kids to get their license at 18. Partly to do with costs, partly because it isn’t needed at university.

Most instructors will have a waiting list of 15-20 students which is a lot when they only need to tick over a comfortable wage with 12-15 students per week.

There is plenty of demand
----------------------------------------------------------------------

I know there is at the moment. I'm talking about 10 years in the future when technology has advanced. I'm not sure why that is so difficult to grasp.

It's like someone from Blockbuster telling me there is plenty of demand for DVD rentals in 2004 when someone asked if it was future proof with upcoming streaming technology.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
The cost of a driverless car is far more than the cost of an ICE car. Electric cars have been on the market for well over a decade yet the vast majority of the public cannot even afford that.
The whole appeal of a car is the new life options and independence it brings.

The DVD rental comparison doesn’t really stack up when the cost of streaming was always close to the cost of rental.
You could perhaps compare driverless vehicles with public transport. It’s more a danger to bus/train drivers in the near future than it is instructors.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Electric cars aren't always going to be more expensive. The price is already coming down as more come in the market and ICE cars are being phased out. The future could even see taxi firms taking up driverless cars and it being cheaper for people to use them than own a car. Uber have already started on this in partnership with Wayno in Phoenix in the US. At the point this starts to become a mainstream solution, you'll see less people learning as the youth will be the first to embrace new technology.

I know you are in denial that things will change, but the rapid advancements in AI and automation are going to have a huge impact on us all in the coming decades. It is certainly going to impact the car industry and the way new generations view cars, whether you accept it or not.

Hannity: “I can’t imagine you ever saying, ‘Bring me some boxes we brought back from the White House. I’d like to look at them.’”

Trump: “I would do that..I have the right to take stuff! You know they ended up paying Nixon $18 million for what he had.”

Brilliant news, a few well loved pubs near me have mysteriously set on fire or have been demolished in the dead of night.

This is a spoof interview.

This is a real interview with a government minister, which is actually more excruciating.

They are actually beyond parody now.

The Ashfield Independents have released a statement ruling out allowing Lee Anderson to join the party

"We have no intention of welcoming this embarrassment of an MP"


None of the right wing parties want him back to working on the burger van for him the day after election night

He'll be hopping on that 'cancelled' gravy train quicker than you can say "lefty, metropolitan elite"

There's nothing stopping him from standing as an Independent, I'm sure Braverman will chip in towards the deposit.

LBC did a voxpop yesterday where most of the people of Ashfield spoke about him like he was a hero

This is why I facking hate voxpops though, they give a totally unnatural idea of what people in an area think... I assume because the reporter is getting the opinions of the drunks and the unemployed who have time to speak to a journalist during the working day

Sony has announced it will lay off 8% of PlayStation employees globally, amounting to approximately 900 people.

In addition to cuts in the US and Japan, the gaming giant said this would mean closing PlayStation's London Studio entirely.

In a blog post sharing an email sent to employees, boss Jim Ryan called the move "sad news" and said it was "a difficult day at our company".

It's industry wide, they over hired during the pandemic thinking games as a service were the new normal and here to stay

Now that's clearly not the case they don't need so many developers and community support roles

Marks & Spencer has announced pay rises for staff from April, as supermarkets fight to keep employees.
It will increase minimum pay for workers outside of London to £12 per hour, with staff in the capital seeing a raise to £13.15 per hour.
The increase means all of its workers will be paid the voluntary Real Living Wage, which is higher than the compulsory National Living Wage.
About 40,000 staff across the food and clothing retailer will get a raise.
The company also announced it would be making "substantial improvements" to its maternity, paternity and adoption policies.

GOOD OLD BREXIT BRITAIN

Lads, I'm considering leaving my job and changing careers a bit. Working in an airport is exhausting and my company has been going downhill big time since Brexit too, they're more interested in lining their pockets instead of investing in its staff and stock.

They've put us on these awful work contracts since the pandemic as well. The money is decent at times, but I've given them 5 years and feel I've reached the end. I'm considering becoming a driving instructor, it's got good money going for it and I can potentially work for myself in the future and spend more time with the family. I love cars and would prefer to still work with them in that capacity.

What do you guys think? Anyone been feeling the same as me regarding a career change?
----------------------------------------------------------------------

If you really have a job I'd stay where you are. The amount of time you spend on Twitter and here, it's your company getting the s hiity end of the stick, not you.

BTW, driving instructors only earn good money once they work for themselves and have built up a good reputation. My sister did it for a few years but gave up because the money was crap and it bored her to tears.

A guy who rents cars for a living has as much power as a government official?
And you don't attribute any hyperbole to Arab's rants?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I hope he doesn’t as I’m sure his power is minimal so of hers is less than that’s better for all.

I don’t doubt that it is hyperbole. But that doesn’t make it acceptable, proper nor a moral thing to say. Even less so given the recent acid attacks here.

If I had direct contact with said Israeli official I would say the same to them.

When you do this (and you’re not the only one Tam, I think Mamba does it in nearly all of the debates he engages in,)
======
What exactly is it that I do? I can't quite understand from your post above.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
You straw man other peoples’ points to have a newly formed Mamba-created argument which wasn’t the point made before.

Not all the time, but very often.
