Yeah ..... selling the Alpine chalets is such a shitter isn't it 🤭

scriblit.bsky.social•59 days ago

The last article has a point - council workers shouldn't be expected to work while on holiday although that's clearly not what they're upset about

jsdocherty.bsky.social•59 days ago

I thought that when I saw the headline. I do think anything criticising WFH should include a footnote about how much commercial property the paper or its owners have a stake in.

acceptingmyfate.bsky.social•57 days ago

Surely they'd get the same tax, as the work is in the UK. That's how PAYE works yeah? And if it did save the council money,why are they so bothered. Private companies have been pimping jobs to foreign call centres for years.

dajevans89.bsky.social•59 days ago

Perhaps they could try paying their tax like the rest of us.

I refuse to accept "Pieter Snapvangers" is a real person

gustavgatu.bsky.social•14 days ago

Just like capitalists, he keeps on giving:

I will be extremely surprised if the BA air miles shake up leads to any improvement for us plebs who just visit family overseas twice a year plus one return flight to Europe if we’re lucky, but that probably doesn’t bother the Telegraph.

charlieparish.bsky.social•58 days ago

They do seem to have a common theme. What a comic that paper has become!

Pieter Snepvangers in the news ... (2023)

andrewcarrier.com•59 days ago

They know and cater to their - dwindling - readership. Nothing wrong with that.

alexvont.bsky.social•59 days ago

Of course, I mustn’t allow myself the tiniest moment of amusement at it

janeyllou.bsky.social•58 days ago

Might help if Nigel Farage did the slightest bit of work from the beach.

jsdocherty.bsky.social•59 days ago

Sorry, but the byline picture looks like he's been made by AI

nickoctopus.bsky.social•59 days ago

He looks like the face of one of those "I bought a house at 22 then retired at 30, and here's how" articles that tries to gloss over it was with parental money from millionaire daddy and mummy

mcteagle.bsky.social•58 days ago

He must get a lot of pocket money.

grumpyrocker.bsky.social•59 days ago

Looks like Joe 90 grew up after they set the eggwhisk machine to "Expert Bellend"

daddys.cash•57 days ago

Managed to track this guy down, he seems to write all the telegraph's "oh no the VAT increase on private schools 😭" articles - unsurprisingly he went to private school, St Dunstan's College (£19,486/year)

daddys.cash•57 days ago

Or at least I'm 99% sure he did - he's scrubbed it from his linkedin and never written about it - but his sister definitely went there (written about by the school as a team captain and still has it on her LinkedIn) and when I found his Facebook (locked down) half of the friends and also the likes

daddys.cash•57 days ago

On a photo from back in 2017 (when he would have been at school) are from people who say they went to St Dunstan's.

acceptingmyfate.bsky.social•57 days ago

Thats enough evidence. Hes guilty!

alexvont.bsky.social•59 days ago

I know I have a silly name myself, but his is just outstanding

peteinsq.bsky.social•59 days ago

He's only just out of uni and already pedaling absolute garbage for a living. I was so incensed that I looked him up on Linkedin.

jsdocherty.bsky.social•59 days ago

He looks like he still has an afternoon nap after his lunchtime bottle, which means he fits in perfectly at the Telegraph.

alanpx.bsky.social•59 days ago

He seems to be an accomplished writer of AI prompts https://metro.co.uk/2023/02/08/chatgpt-graduate-passes-university-essay-using-ai-software-18246430/

jsdocherty.bsky.social•59 days ago

He won an award for that. It's on his LinkedIn accomplishments.

alanpx.bsky.social•59 days ago

Intrigued whether he has blagged a real job at the Telegraph or just a title and a zero hours contract.

jsdocherty.bsky.social•59 days ago

Having stalked his LinkedIn, he lasted four months at the Mail as a trainee. I'm guessing he survived because he didn't have a heart for Paul Dacre to consume.

jonnygf.bsky.social•58 days ago

Out of touch with reality - sad really

richneville.bsky.social•59 days ago

Pieter Snepvangers appears to be 8.

dav1dman.bsky.social•59 days ago

Why is a 12 year old so angry about council workers working on a beach?

chris-denham.bsky.social•58 days ago

The number of young reporters there who are forced to write such odd stories and surely, shurely, can’t believe them…

edclews.bsky.social•59 days ago

Pieter Snepvangers was interviewed on The Day Today.

offcentre.bsky.social•58 days ago

I imagine their business model involves attracting lots of luxury advertising to pay for more product for readers, in between all the nonsense like the articles you've found.

deliciouslegacy.bsky.social•58 days ago

Jfc...!

iggyforshaw.bsky.social•59 days ago

I had to Google "Pieter Snepvangers" to make sure you hadn't just made him up. I'm still not completely convinced...
