4:05 pm - So, it looks like it's the end.......
|
As you may have seen Russia is going to be cutting off access to the internet come this Friday, so I imagine that will mean no more LJ. And yes, I know that probably a good thing due to what's going on in the world right about now, but selfishly it also means no more access to some of my old posts or friends lists. So I'm just dashing in here to say good bye as I adored my fandom years here on lj and even though personal events have meant I stopped posting, it didn't mean I stopped reading or thinking about the 'good old days'. So just in case you want to keep an eye on my whereabouts I can be found over here on Dreamwidth https://sueworld.dreamwidth.org/ and under the name of sueworld on Twitter.
Everybody keep as safe as they can. Christ what with bloody Covid and now this war things are going carry on taking more and more nasty turns unfortunately. So I wish us all the best of luck, because I my god, I think we're all going to need it. :(

A very, very dark day for the UK today. Just shows you If you have enough stupid people and a crafty right wing press you can convince people to turn against themselves with ease and the bloody Donkeys will never question it. A pox on them all....

From the Times:
Leaked DWP document outlines planning for three Brexit scenarios including “chaotic no-deal”
"This worst-case scenario ... would lead to a “major recession similar in scale to 2008-09 with inflows to jobseekers’ allowance and universal credit reaching a similar scale to inflow to JSA seen after the financial crash”. Under the chaotic scenario, the number of new people claiming JSA each month would grow to 410,000. At present about 140,000 new claimants are expected to go on JSA each month. This would have a huge impact on the benefits bill. The forecast suggests that costs would rise £1.6 billion next year, £5.3 billion in 2020 and £4.7 billion in 2021.
The document says officials across Whitehall must “explore how we would deal with a rise in homelessness and other potential societal impacts like a rise in suicide rates or an increase in food banks use”. It says Whitehall must “develop a ‘war gaming’ exercise to play out and test our contingency plans.”
In the event of a chaotic exit, the DWP will reduce staff training, increase overtime and rehire retired staff.
A DWP spokesman said that it did not comment on leaked documents. The document has not been seen by Amber Rudd, the work and pensions secretary."

Jesus Christ. It's been bad enough as It is in the country since the bloody Tories took over with one long, never ending recession, and now this?? How many more people will be sacrificed to these power hungry, selfish bastards before this country wakes up and rids themselves of them.

|
A bit too late in the day I know, but for those who'd like to participate a little something, be that an old piece of work or something new I thought the last two week in this month would be appropriate. I.E. The 17/12/18 to the 31/12/18. Is that okay?

My health both mentally and physically is not so great these days, and so I doubt I could contribute, but are there enough folks still out there that would make this viable?

Buffy Reboot Will Follow New Slayer, Showrunner Confirms
The black actress lead will be a new Slayer character
By Grant Hermanns ON July 26, 2018Buffy reboot will follow new slayer, showrunner confirms
It was officially announced last week that the hit WB series Buffy the Vampire Slayer is getting the reboot treatment at Fox with a black actress leading the series! Fan reaction as mixed at first as it was initially seen as though Sarah Michelle Gellar’s portrayal would be replaced. However, new showrunner Monica Owusu-Breen (Alias) has just confirmed that the new series will not be replacing Gellar in the titular role, but rather will focus on a new slayer.
“For some genre writers it’s Star Wars. Buffy the Vampire Slayer is my Star Wars,” Owusu-Breen wrote in a tweet. “Before I became a writer, I was a fan. For seven seasons, I watched Buffy Summers grow up, find love, kill that love. I watched her fight and struggle and slay. There is only ONE Buffy. One Xander, one Willow, Giles, Cordelia, Oz, Tara, Kendra, Faith, Spike, Angel…They can’t be replaced. Joss Whedon’s brilliant and beautiful series can’t be replicated. I wouldn’t try to. But here we are, twenty years later…And the world seems a lot scarier. So maybe, it could be time to meet a new Slayer…And that’s all I can say.”
Owusu-Breen’s previous credits in the TV world include the J.J. Abrams espionage thriller Alias, mystery-drama Lost and sci-fi drama Fringe, as well as the ABC drama Brothers & Sisters and Marvel series Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. The reboot’s network is currently unknown, given that the original series ran on The WB and UPN, both of which are now defunct, and that the rights to the franchise are owned by 20th Century Fox.
A follow-up to the Whedon-penned Buffy the Vampire Slayer feature film, the Buffy TV series ran from 1997 to 2003 for seven seasons. The series starred Sarah Michelle Gellar in the title role alongside Alyson Hannigan, Nicholas Brendon, Charisma Carpenter, Anthony Stewart Head, David Boreanaz, Seth Green, James Marsters, Emma Caulfield, Michelle Trachtenberg, Amber Benson, and Kristine Sutherland. Since its conclusion, the series has continued in comic book form, with some of the characters continuing their journey in the Angel spin-off series. There was previously a feature film reboot of the property in development at Warner Bros., but it failed to materialize.
