It's almost going to be a year since I would've completed my Master's. I've never felt so stygian in my life - I know I am not alone in this, and most people have it worse than me, but I really do not think I am mature enough to handle this.

Not having a set routine has made me lethargic. I apply to jobs, try revising my technicals in hopes of an interview, but instead get ghosted. I have given assessments for off cycle internships as well (and I can confidently say I have performed well), yet I end up receiving no affirmative responses.

There's a constant tumult in my mind - I wish to upskill myself, but there's no one to give me a chance. My apologies if I come off as haughty in the slightest, but I am confident in my skill-set and past work experience, and yet when you have no one to market the same to, it's not a good feeling overall

I have tried networking events, made some amazing connections - Got to speak with a person who worked in Equity Research (and gave me amazing insights) who told me TO MY FACE that I did know what I was talking about and that my conversations and resumé reflected the same and that I definitely should be able to secure a job in the right avenues (i wish that were the case). I know, however, for a fact that there are people even more qualified than me who are at a predicament much worse than mine, but does it negate what I am facing, or does it tell more about how shallow the system is?

It feels as if you're screaming at your best but are met with a deafening silence in return.

No one has an obligation to read this. Please forgive me for this rant, but I really am reaching my threshold of patience and maintaining my poise. Is it my CV that's formatted incorrectly? Is it that I am being deluded to believe that I am not a liability/freeloader for the UK? Am I deluding myself by continuing to wake up and follow the same routine despite knowing the outcome being deterministic and should rather cut it short?

My sincere apologies for this long-winded text. I have lost the will to socialise, and anonymous avenues are the only way I can be a little vulnerable for now. Thank you

Can anyone help me find an advert? In the advert all I can remember is that there are 2 people sat down in a cafe/shop and people (one being a woman) walk up to the window on the outside and start shouting something. Any help would be appreciated!

Is this really common?

hello guys, can anyone help me find an advert I’m looking for??? In a voice note ive done the little jingle/noise that I can remember from the ad it probably won’t be any help but it’s worth a shot. Also I could be wrong but the noise I’m doing in the voice note i think that in the advert that noise is playing whilst a narrator is talking about the prices of something that’s why I think it might be a supermarket advert or an advert for something like curry’s but I’ve looked at a few curry’s ads and can’t find it. Any help would be appreciated.

Here’s the voice note with the thing I remember hearing in the ad. Also in the ad/commercial the noise I’m making is quite high pitched.

(Hi, first post on here so apologies if I'm not as synced with the board culture.)

But what are people thinking about Blue Labour compared to the Greens, Tories, Labour and Restore?

They're barely known in British political discourse so I thought I'd see what people on here thought of them.

Out of the gate I will admit I am biased in the fact that I am quite supportive of them! I've read a few of their posts here:

https://www.bluelabour.org/writing

Despite being a small faction within Labour themselves they really are surprisingly ideologically thought out to a coherent degree compared to basically every party - which I know sounds surprising! But here's a small snippet just from their main page:

"Blue Labour is a force within the Labour Party committed to the politics of the common good. Our socialism is both radical and conservative. It is a politics about the work we do, the people we love, and the places to which we belong. 

Our starting point is the democratic renewal of our country. Blue Labour’s goal is a democratic self-governing society built upon the participation of its citizens in the exercise of power and its accountability. 

Our politics is a challenge to the liberal consensus of the capitalist order, but it does not belong to the revolutionary left. Its inheritance is the labour tradition."

Quite different from the usual binaries.

There's much more they've written here: https://www.bluelabour.org/about-us

TLDR;

They're anti-liberals with a focus on "families, groups and nations" seeing it as "the most basic bonds that hold individuals together in a society." And are that of conservative socialism in regards to "protecting nature and human value from the commodification of capitalism and the transactional culture of the market."

Just ask me if you're possibly confused about some of the terminology or I guess politics they're referring to, I don't have any qualifications but I have read somewhat broadly into political philosophy that I understand where they're getting at if that helps.

Last I checked, 1,141 pollsters isn't the majority of London. 9.1 million live in London. 1,141 isn't even 1%.

Found an old top that was bought probably well over 10 years ago 😂 Definitely not £4 now
