Refried Noodle posted:EMA is big pharma now? From the EMA's Wikipedia page "the EMA was set up in 1995 with funding from the European Union and the pharmaceutical industry, as well as indirect subsidy from member states, in an attempt to harmonise (but not replace) the work of existing national medicine regulatory bodies. The hope was that this plan would not only reduce the €350 million annual cost drug companies incurred by having to win separate approvals from each member state" I'm sure the EMA is a decent organization but I'm not sure forcing big pharma to prove to more than one organization in Europe that meds are safe is a bad thing.

corn in the bible posted:personally I'm glad that bankers are upset but then I'm not a class traitor It's pretty funny though one day people are talking about how the money people are just drains on the society then the next day something like Brexit happens and the same people start blathering about how stuff that is bad for the money people is bad for the economy in general. It's like they have no brains, they just parrot what other people say. Pretty funny. OMG BREXIT BAD

I think you're actually simplifying what leftists say which is not that ALL finance stuff is evil but rather that they are not regulated well and 'too big to fail' is some bullshit and there's no reason they should have so much undue influence over the political process. Nonetheless obviously a reasonable person knows that when capital flows efficiently it is advantageous to economic growth and Wall St's function essentially is to keep investment/capital flowing efficiently. Obviously it's not a binary evil/good thing. Plus there is a difference between orderly gradual reform and what the UK is doing which is throwing the baby out with the bath water and having investment funds grind to a halt because of panicked investors pulling out. I mean yeah you can find some extremist 'full marxism now burn it all down' rear end in a top hat I'm sure but they don't represent the majority of leftists.

It's like they have no brains, they just parrot what other people say. Politics isn't about logic it's about rhetorically spinning poo poo in order to get some sick burns on Internet people. I don't even know what I believe anymore other than everyone else is wrong.

Top City Homo posted:its a good [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tripartism]tripartist bargaining system Yes, it works very well until unions are cowed into near-uselessness and the government literally appoints the Director of the Confederation of Employers as the Minister of Labour.

jBrereton posted:Seeing as much of EMA's (and actually REACH's) work was done by FERA because it was the best lab in literally the entire world last time anyone checked, and the NHS very deliberately tries out new drugs on patients here, For Money, I don't really see why the UK would "move to the back of the queue" when it came to drug regulation but hey Reuters think so so it must be true. We should Hi five next time we are in the office. I would like to know more about your medical expertise in this area. Also, Reuters didn't or did think so, rather the people that assess and certify medicines in the UK think so, but all I can legally link is what a news site says or what I think. e: I think you were doing ok 'til a point : "the NHS very deliberately tries out new drugs on patients here". I feel I got trolled. Do you live in the UK? spud fucked around with this message at 21:24 on Jul 12, 2016 |

Prettz posted:Can you expand a bit more on why? I guess Rupert Poncington-Smythe would be posher. Or Francis Urquhart from the original British House of Cards. In answer to your question: not really. Double-barrel surnames are upper class indicators. Maybe men who married above their station wanted to keep their wives' family "brand"? I did IT for a couple of schools, one a fee-paying private school and the other a specialist school/pseudo-prison for kids from broken homes and you could tell at a glance from the kids' names which was which. No Chantels at the rich school and no Ruperts at the poor one.

i saw on Twitter that you get your Tory name by picking the first name of one of your grandparents and making the last name the street you first lived on combined with your first teacher's last name so I'm Edmund Courtland-Fishman which sounds pretty legit to me
