Good Luck... Remember they need you as much as you need them

I was about to ask how this incident came about and this only makes me more curious

FoxesTalk just never disappoints. In the midst of the misery and squabbling on here, there's always a post to surprise.

As much as totalitarianism is horrible, I'm curious to know exactly how this particular development leads directly to a 1984-style dystopia.

Inviting microphones into the house, and cameras, is lifted almost verbatim from 1984 isn't it?

Yeah, absolutely.

 

I'm just not getting how one gets from microphones and cameras in a house to Airstrip One. Having that kind of device freely available doesn't necessarily = dystopia.

The telescreen in 1984 is more or less the next evolution of technology isn't it? We've already got microphones in the home that are supposedly off but they're not really.

There's a serious lack of good documentaries about the 1984 Miners Strike considering how significant it was.

Bit of an odd first day, fully remote today just basically reading a lot of introductory things.

Tomorrow will be a bit more nerve wracking going in to meet the team etc

If your posts are anything to go on then you will smash it. Cant give any advice as ive been in the same job for 25 years so never been in that position. It will be ok they hired you for a reason.

The bot harvesting still going well on Twitter

On that note will BBC be having a word with Lord Sugar for sharing a video from that absolute willy puller Laurence Fox? It’s a horrific thing to share but it’s an event from nearly two years ago as well 

[Foxdiamond]

That Carling advert where bloke's mates pretend there is a goal. A. I would not be taking a toilet break during a match even at my great age. B. Would not be impressed with idiot mates pretending we had scored.

Have the offenders been brought to justice?  If not why shouldn't he share it?  Fox being an attention seeking twat doesn't make everything he does wrong per se.

I agree, but they’re drinking Carling so they must just be idiots.

This is brilliant

I loved living abroad and never wanted to go back to the UK. Pretty much decided that I’m off again. The wife has agreed it’ll be for the best, so I’m now accepting invitations from welcoming nations with warm seas and a slack approach to law enforcement. I can work from anywhere, really looking forward to seeing where this takes me. Diving opportunities essential, cheap food a must.

I'm going in the opposite direction this autumn, but honestly I'm not sure how much time I'll stay in the UK, given all that is going on. Will depend very much on opportunities.
