MrL_JaKiri posted:I guess people are now going to fall over themselves to bring this post up like when TT posted the coconut picture? Yes, & I cannot apologise for my bigotry towards liberals as I do not think it is wrong. That said, yes, Jfairfax's chinky comment was bad & hot on the heels of his weird Ian Paisley-esque anti-Catholic ranting. Anyway, more important than UKMT posters & their casual racism, there is an interesting article on the New Statesman website. It's by Sazia Awan, former Tory parliamentary candidate who attacks Zac Goldsmith's campaign for London Mayor. Especially criticising the shameful divisive element of the campaign, focusing on Sadiq Khan's religion. Not exactly news, but interesting that he's being openly attacked for it from within his own party. On this day, in 1712, 23 slaves in New York rose up, set fire to a building & fought off a crowd of white colonists who tried to put it out, killing 9 of them & injuring a further 6. Far as I can tell this was the first slave revolt in British North America. forkboy84 fucked around with this message at 21:23 on Apr 6, 2016 |

I suppose the really intriguing part of that article is that it seems the Tories have been sending different messages to people based on their actual or perceived race / religion.

Anyway let us celebrate the fact that haranguing David Cameron about his family's tax affairs has taken over from sniping at Corbyn as the media's preferred sport! forkboy84 posted:... Why is the font size on New Statesman so huge? Is it just me? Oh my god: Shazia Awan posted:Let me be clear, I have met some of my closest friends through the Conservative party. The problems we all knew about were at the grassroots. I never encountered them from those at the heart of leading the party forward until now. And, pray tell, you never stopped to think about the policies that you were having to put forward to attract the votes of such scum?

I suppose when you join a party for the gently caress You, Got Mine stuff you are able to ignore that other poo poo, or convince yourself it is all in the past & it's all different now. I mean if you can convince yourself that the Conservative Party should be in government then presumably you are fairly good at self-delusion so long as the end result is "more money for me"

The distinction is between criticising someone for their political beliefs, and making a big song and dance about racism only because of someone's political beliefs. You don't need to do the latter to do the former.

OwlFancier posted:I'm not sure you can ban explosive precursors given that it would arguably include nearly all forms of fixed nitrogen. There's precursors and precursors though. with *FNA, AN, or even pure ammonia, all kinds of excitingly excitable compounds are just a few steps away. Piss (and birdshit) are certainly a source of nitro compounds, sure, but you need a *lot* of them and some fairly serious kit to make anything more interesting than gunpowder, which every corner shop in the country is full of for two months of the year.

Guavanaut posted:I remember a short while after the 7/7 bombings the news media making a big deal out of the fact that the bombs (or maybe the failed ones shortly after) used dastardly foreign chapati flour. It was the failed ones on 21/7. They followed a recipe they got off the internet, and there's all sorts of interesting theories about that. The 7/7 ones (probably - it's never been officially confirmed or denied) used a recipe that's actually pretty easy to make out of chemicals easily obtainable from any beauty salon which are still uncontrolled because the purification steps are so ridiculously hazardous that it might be the very first time that it was successfully done from non-controlled ingredients without killing the bomb-maker first.

If the 7/7 ones used what I think they did then they might be the first to do it on a backpack scale, but I know that people have done it on a smaller scale. Mostly because they showed up in articles on hobby engineering news sites after losing some fingers.

Frankly though, even taking terrorism out of the equation, I'm happy that it's harder to buy nitric acid than it is to buy vinegar. If nothing else it's almost certainly saved hundreds of idiot teenagers taking the quick route to heaven through their shed roof the first time they download the Anarchists Cookbook.

Guavanaut posted:What kind of theories? Well as I mentioned the Anarchists Cookbook, one of the original authors (or at least someone claiming to be one of the original authors) turned up around the time of the textfiles.com takedown to claim his recipes had been edited by persons unknown to make their synthesis much, much more dangerous to the maker than his originals. Those with longer memories and better chemistry knowledge scoffed at his claims (and even point out that the original synthesis for nitric acid in his version was absolutely guaranteed to cause a (small) explosion), but after the Mossad timers thing (they intercepted a bunch of timers destined for the PLO and changed them for ones which detonated after a minute) it's not completely impossible that there are explosives recipes out there designed either to kill the bomb maker, or, even more subtly, to make an impressive bang when made in small quantities but likely to not detonate at all in larger quantities.

Even in developed cities like Newcastle is now, you get people using terms like "the chinky's" for chinese takeout places, or "the paki shop" for any corner store still. It's thankfully on the decline thanks to influxes of migrants and students, which makes certain sections of people salty. Sections of people who still frequent Working Men's Clubs.
