What's that based on?
He wrote several times about enjoying child porn, and was mates with a convicted sex offender who produced edgelord snuff and child porn fanzines, praising the material that he produced. Folk have tried to excuse it as him being edgy, and that he didn't really enjoy seeing children being abused, but that seems to be based more on fans wanting it not to be true.
If you search for "steve albini child abuse" you'll find plenty of reference to it all, but some of the descriptions are unrelentingly unpalatable so I'm tapping out rather than reading that again. Pretty sure any posts quoting it would get pulled, from what I remember. Hopefully he was just a consumer and there won't be other allegations now that he's dead.

According to some of the folk on P&B she is a maniac who hunts LGBT folk in her spare time.
I have faith that it is so, and you can't prove otherwise!

You don't need to leave passwords, which would be illegal for your son to use anyway, a list of account numbers would do, maybe in a wee box that your son will know to open when you pop your clogs. Power of Attorney is worth thinking about too, only to kick in if you become incapable.
Aye, the thought that occurred to me was what would happen if I died because the house burned down, taking any documentation with it. I'm likely putting too much thought into this.
Tempting to give him Power of Attorney now, as he can't make worse decisions than me, surely.

You can't rush these things...
They'd also have to come up with a means of supplying the political parties' favoured sons and daughters with an income in the event that the pesky commoners in the electorate have the unmitigated gall to fail to re-elect them.
Very difficult to abolish a trough when so many of your pals are feeding in it.
Presumably the idea would be to just send them all home and pay them an agree-upon figure until they all die. Shouldn't be much, considering they only get an allowance and expenses
Irrelevant anyway as, if historical Labour governments haven't abolished the Lords, this one coming in certainly isn't going to.

Your post got me thinking of an interesting interaction me and my old man had many moons ago with someone. Back when I was 15 me and my parents were on holiday in Florida. We were on a bus and spied someone wearing a Raith Rovers cap which we thought was quite bizarre as the rest of his attire had a very 'American on holiday' vibe (polo shirt tucked into chino breeks with mobile phone holder on his belt and cotton socks up to his knees with open toed sandals. All that was missing was a bum bag and an American flag somewhere on his person). When we got off the bus me and my old man went to speak to him however it became obvious very quickly he had no clue what we were talking about or who Raith Rovers were. Always got me thinking how and why he had a RRFC cap. Maybe it was @TxRover
You occasionally see pictures of weans in underprivileged areas of Africa wearing all sorts of obscure UK football shirts that have been donated. Considering some of the pictures you see coming out of hellscapes like West Virginia, maybe there are organisations who do the same thing in America.

Presumably you have a solicitor who has a copy of your will.
Supply them with a "Letter of Wishes" that will provide all the information you want to pass on to others.
If you change the location of your investments on a regular basis, presumably they'll charge a fee when you update the letter?
Silly question; I think my last brief charged for oxygen and rental of space during ten minute meetings.

I reckon they could've done wonders for Hitler's image. After all, it was the National Socialist German Workers' Party, as the fascists like to point out when it's temporarily inconvenient to own him.
Maybe a bit too left-wing for Sir Keef, though.

Starmer will take anyone unless they espouse left wing views. If they're closer to Corbyn or Abbott than they are to Richard Tice then they can gtf. He's an absolute charlatan. The remarkable thing is that people like Braverman are getting away with the stuff from the "Trump Big Book of Utter Horse Shite".
Of course, I forgot the left-wingers. Having them in the party would be a bad look in front of the hang-'em-and-flog-'em electorate.
So that's Corbyn and Abbott on the "no thanks" list. Any others?

1) If you're not from South Yorkshire and pronouncing "house" then up your offspring's brown eye is an odd place to keep passwords.
2) On no account let them see your P&B account- a bribe to Div to have all posts deleted on your demise should suffice.
I'd feel more secure about it if he kept important stuff up his chuff. Far more likely to be left on his desk completely exposed (documentation, not his aris).
The High Heid Yin's literally had people threatening legal action unless their account and all posts were removed, and was there not a boy at Stirling Albion who resigned due to his posts on P&B? Then there was Skidmarksgate...shame the Wayback Machine is a thing or Div could make a buck offering quick account removal in emergencies.
Thankfully I never post anything remotely controversial or off-colour that could embarrass me at a later date.

Applied across the country the Tories would be left with 13 seats, around half of which would be in Scotland.
Lol and indeed lmao, on many levels.
How to completely invalidate your extrapolation in one easy step
FPTP really is a joke, but this would be hilarious for winding up the fascists:
PLAID: 0.6%, 3 seats
SNP: 3.1%, 29 seats
GREEN: 7%, 2 seats
LIB DEM: 9%, 44 seats
REFUK: 13%, 0 seats

I'm sure we're all shocked that this film turned out to be shite.
In the VHS days, this would be the tape you'd rent that had a mysterious drop in audiovisual quality during one short segment

The 2-1 Norway win was clearly a tactical masterclass by Steve Clarke.
In seriousness, the plan was presumably to keep things tight and see what was necessary in the final half-hour, especially as we were up against the greatest striker in the entire world ever. I doubt Clarke ever considered it would work out so perfectly, though - none of us were expecting a win even before the game, surely.
Despite having a couple of world-class players, Norway are still a bit mediocre though; kinda similar to us through most of the wilderness years. People seemed to think they'd kick on after blitzing Armenia a few years ago, but it hasn't happened yet.

Can't accuse Labour of being boring. They're about to admit Rose West, Tommy Robinson and Leigh Griffiths into their 'broad church'.
Too far, m9. Nobody's going to take you seriously with patter like that.

It's interesting to consider if there are actually any sitting MPs who Sir Keef wouldn't welcome with open arms. I mention him specifically, as it seems not everyone in the Labour camp appears to be happy with Elphicke's switch, and he rules with the iron fist that Labour voters tend to be so displeased about seeing in other parties.
Would 30p Lee have been welcomed back to the Labour ranks if he hadn't fancied being a big fish over at REFUK? I'm guessing probably yes, on the understanding that he wound his neck in a bit, which is the only reason he became a problem for the Conservative Party; not his professed views, but the fact that he wouldn't stop using them to self-promote.

The country has gone to the dogs (under the Tories) so don't vote Labour.
That entire piece is, in one form or another, "look at these utter fuckwits".
A 39-year-old woman claiming she didn't know an MP could move from one party to another. An elderly woman claiming "imergants haf taken are culture", whatever that means, and considers Sir Keef "too woke", whatever that means, despite agreeing with Conservative policy on just about everything. Another elderly woman blaming Labour for the state of the country after fourteen years of Conservative government, like the eejits in the Red Wall areas who decided that voting for the greater of two evils would somehow solve their problems.
I'd like to think the Grauniad were pushing an anti-democracy agenda and had only picked the most nonsensical responses, but I dunno. I've had conversations inflicted upon me by people who parrot illogical nonsense like this; how many are just smart enough to keep it to themselves?

Watching fmqs. He really is boring.
Swinney being First Minister again is pretty depressing, but I'm quite happy with boring bureaucratic leaders. It's more difficult to imagine them being mad shaggers or burying troves of public money in their gardens.
...but then you remember that John Major, the ultimate grey bank manager, was taking baths with Edwina Currie

Is The X-Files one of those programmes that had cameos from other shows' characters?
I think it was St Elsewhere that people realised was technically part of every other show ever made, because it had characters from other shows, and those other shows had characters from other shows, and so on. That seems to be really common with American TV; I remember Friends having a (thankfully) brief cameo from Robin Williams and Billy Crystal as characters from some film that they were promoting at the time. Richard Belzer appeared as Detective John Munch in ten different shows across five TV networks, apparently including (as I've just found out)...The X-Files.

In the digital age, how do people leave important information to their families in the event that they die?
A while ago, I had to go through an elderly relative's house after he died, and we discovered pretty much everything about his life from the paperwork he had stashed around the place - bank statements, investments, etc. It just occurred to me that, if I get hit by a bus tomorrow, my family would have no way of finding similar information for me as it's all digital, with everything stored behind passwords. I used a will service a couple of years ago, but they only asked for instructions on who my immense personal fortune was to be left to, and it would be a bit weird to have given them account details and suchlike anyway, not to mention pointless for someone who moves their savings around on a regular basis.
So how do people leave information about accounts and passwords to inheritors? Leaving a list stashed around the house somewhere seems like a terrible idea, considering you could be robbed, or die in a house fire, or the information could be missed when the house is being cleared out (it's not uncommon for cash savings to end up in the hands of house clearance firms or charity shops because the deceased hid their money a little too well). I trust my son enough to give him the information now, but not enough not to leave it lying at his arse somewhere it could be found.

Time to merge this thread with the Tory one.
The Tory one's handy for pointing out the evil they do now, and the even more abhorrent things they're chomping at the bit to do in the future.
Labour haven't had the chance yet, but give them time. They'll get pretty desperate to sate the public's bloodlust in 2029, with Patel/Braverman/Badenoch promising lynchings in the street for being unBRITTISH!
