I'm sure there was an article in the Graun recently stating that Trump had no interest in addressing MPs and just wanting all the pomp and circumstance of a state visit, meet the Queen, some military display, that kind of shite.

Jesus Christ, BBC news has a video of an NHS manager going around with a credit card machine demanding £800 a day from foreign visitors to stay in hospital. How do people like that actually live with themselves? I know a lot of doctors, myself included, who are going to get very angry if they see anyone like that going near their patients.

Niric posted:I definitely think the "culture wars" thesis is the most persuasive. It'd be fascinating to get some polling for even just a few of those wards to see how closely death penalty support etc lines up at that micro level I think 'culture war' vs 'economics and equality' is a false dichotomy though - people/ communities who feel they are in a lovely situation with no way out and no chance of outside help are going to turn inwards, and part of that is going to be increased suspicion of outsiders and more extreme punishment for insiders who transgress.

Prince John posted:The Beeb have an interesting breakdown of EU referendum voting trends. This only has about 10% of the UK wards in it annoyingly. I've been meaning to do some map stuff with the Trump petitions and if that works then I'll take a look into this, see if it's properly indicative of the UK.

So I looked at the Wikipedia history of The Guardian on a whim and holy poo poo what an absolutely horrific goldmine https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Guardian quote:The working-class Manchester and Salford Advertiser called the Manchester Guardian "the foul prostitute and dirty parasite of the worst portion of the mill-owners".[20] The Manchester Guardian was generally hostile to labour's claims. Of the 1832 Ten Hours Bill, the paper doubted whether in view of the foreign competition "the passing of a law positively enacting a gradual destruction of the cotton manufacture in this kingdom would be a much less rational procedure."[21] The Manchester Guardian dismissed strikes as the work of outside agitators – "... if an accommodation can be effected, the occupation of the agents of the Union is gone. They live on strife ..."[22] They literally opposed the NHS because it would impede the natural process of eugenic selection of the disabled

It's not about wanting anything to fail. If it's a "success" in that the economy is fine the problem is all the deregulation that's going to happen. We might have an economy but your food is full of mercury and you can't go to the hospital for treatment because you can't afford the new private health service. I can totally see "brexit" working economically but failing socially. But no one will give a gently caress about the social impacts and after a few years of dying of toxic contaminants in food, it'll be the new norm.

I think a newspaper which occasionally attacks inequality & low pay does its cause immeasurable damage by exploiting unpaid schemes like this which ultimately are going to favour people whose parents are wealthy enough to give their kid a 2 week free ride, on top of already paying for them to be able to afford London rents But then liberals are generally terrible on discrimination based on class & economic measures so that's hardly a shocker. Still a lovely look.

So these people justifying Corbyn's loving awful three line whip on this bill by saying Labour will get amendments Namtab posted:The Tories can force it through regardless, the aim is to get them to crumble and accept some of the amendments, which seem easy enough to swing some rebellion or concessions. Baka Kaba posted:If enough Tories are willing to defy the whip and political hell and vote No on principle, the amendments should pass anyway - they're just good ideas and the kind of safeguards those rebels want to see. Gort posted:The plan is to respect the result of the referendum but make the best of the result of the referendum. Step one of that is the amendments: didn't actually think it was going to happen? Interesting.
