Bell_ posted:The UK has skinheads, certainly, and correct me if I'm wrong but isn't that culture radically different from the supremacist bigots in the US? Wait I thought most US skinheads were like super anti-racist anti-neo-nazi? Like militantly so? I remember hearing a lot about fights between the neo-nazis and skinheads because they hated each other so much, growing up...

I think it is an international phenomenon that there are Neo-Nazi Skinheads and non-Neo-Nazi Skinheads and they hate each others' guts. My favourite ones have to be the ones in my country: Natsbol "redskins" that (used to?) purposefully ambush Neo-Nazi skinheads whenever those were trying to beat someone up, screaming HITLER KAPUT and beating them up. Also those costumes oh Lord.

Stakes are going higher. Like, who cares what would happen with Darren, but now they are threatening his sister. And of course the only way to get them off is to pay and we all know what he will do to get the money.

Antifa (and fascists) are way less of a thing in the US than pretty much anywhere in Europe. American involvement in that whole thing amounts to a few punks with SHARP patches not, y'know, regular sharks-and-jets street battles.

Okay Daz, points for coming clean about your problem to step-dad. Timing, maybe not ideal. Still, didn't see that coming. Sneaky, John, sneaky.

Man. I figured Daz was a better person than those who were speculating "hey he'll probably end up beating up his little sister", but I'm genuinely impressed that he's coming clean here. Dan seems like a great person to talk to, too: responsible and also tied in enough to know who Si Daxton is. Unfortunately, that's still not going to solve the 30 Grand problem. Real question: The terms of that loan (10% monthly, turning 100 pounds into 30k pounds in five years) have to be illegal in the real-life UK, right?

A Wizard of Goatse posted:So's breaking peoples' legs if they don't pay up, pretty sure Well yeah duh and of course the law isn't going to be a magic bullet here, both because this family is poor and this is a story that needs a plot. I'm just genuinely curious about lending regulations since that's a bit more obscure.

Well the dude in this case is a loan shark so it's illegal but if he was a legit lender he could absolutely get away with that. They've changed the law recently but I know pay day loan companies were getting away with interest rates of 5000% APR perfectly legally until last year.

It'd be funny if the solution involved Shauna pointing out there was a law change so he can't do that anymore. (But I guess he's an illegal lender? Do we know for sure?)

Gosh, I am really not feeling Destroy History, specially since it breaks the pacing of Bad Machinery. Can't complain that much though, since Allison keeps to his daily schedule like a professional. Uh... I missed the poll, what Bobbins' character are we getting?

Destroy History has been, what, ten pages so far? That's still the early starts and it's hard to equate it poo poo or not. Desmond Fish will always be poo poo, though, regardless on what story he's involved in. He's the Scrappy of the Scrappiest. And John Allison knows, so there may be a plan here.
