big scary monsters posted:he's racist by birth but doesn't live there any more I outwardly talk about how great multiculturalism and inclusivity are but inside i'm wondering just why all those women in headscarves can't just speak English and I avoid the bits of town that have too many black people in them livin' the liberal dream

My middle class mother lives in the whitest place on earth and is terrified that the Muslim hoards are going to invade her village. My working class husband works on a pig farm and remains unconcerned even though my mother has warned him that "you will be the first to go".

So to the guy who thinks we'll have more trade. TM went to India to gain more trade for the country. You know what India's criteria for that was? More lax controls on Indian immigration, which they absolutely know the Tory government can't accept. India can afford to do that because Britain is worth gently caress all for their trade and spoilers, so can literally every other world economy outside the EU. The UK is going to go to a bunch of countries cap in hand and hope people offer them a favourable trade deal because we're worthless to them. Instead we could have been at the head of the EU and represented the highest concentration of wealth in the world. But clearly that's a poor negotiating position.

My working class husband works on a pig farm and remains unconcerned even though my mother has warned him that "you will be the first to go". This is a pattern. My nan lives in an all-white suburb in the midlands, and whenever she goes into town loudly goes "It's like you've gone to some other country!" when there's a street with like one muslim family visibly existing. Conversely, gran goes to church with a load of arab christians and has started organising clothes drives for refugees and knits sweaters for refugee children.

The furthest south I've ever lived was Sheffield, I don't think I've ever eaten humus (though I'm not opposed to it or anything, just never gotten round to it), I've never been to university, & I only read The Guardian to sneer at its idiot opinion writers. Anyway, https://twitter.com/jimwaterson/status/841653201044721664 Buckfast to become the lone drink at our embassies, meaning Scots vote to stay in the union & all apply to work for the Foreign Office.

Hummus though is lovely, best to make your own as well not difficult and usually much better than the shop bought stuff. Remember re North voting Leave - they didn't. Most of the pro remain areas outside of Greater London in England were in northern areas, its the coastal Northern Towns and cities that were heavily Leave (Hull, etc) while the inner towns and cities were pro remain (Leeds, Harrogate, etc).

I eat a bunch of kale because I am on a low carb diet, it's...fine? I guess? Greens are better and cheaper but more of a hassle to deal with since kale usually comes pre chopped in bags.

Hummus is nice but "chickpeas are best enjoyed in a curry" is wrong - chickpeas are best enjoyed in the form of a nice thick slice of fainá on top of an argie pizza brimming with mozzarella in a local 'hood pizzeria. Also as a mezze, baba ghanoush is clearly superior to hummus anyway.

jBrereton posted:Right... and the Swiss have a really big airport which explains them getting more trade than the French or what? Our level of trade with the Netherlands is likely to be distorted by its prominence internationally, yes. http://webarchive.nationalarchives....am-effect-.html Out of all of the examples to pick this is probably the easiest to dispute. Anyway, these are the most up-to-date figures rather than those 2014 ones. This includes graphs showing the impact of distance/size on trade. http://visual.ons.gov.uk/uk-trade-partners/ ONS posted:Trade relationships are usually stronger between neighbouring countries, and with countries with large economies. China and the US are large economies and are important UK trading partners even accounting for their distance from us.

With any luck the outcome of the Corbyn experiment will at least have a new generation of left-wing Labour members to revive the party post-2020 defeat.

learnincurve posted:It makes it harder to argue for Brexit if one of the main remain arguments was that if we voted yes then we would all wake up in the morning to economic collapse. Sugar tax will make more of a difference to the poor than the impact the yes vote had. Just out of interest, what is it that you think a trade deal does, and what do you think is a country's source of leverage in negotiating one?

Guavanaut posted:Mainstream environmentalism has a very strong conservative trend when you go deep enough and I'm not sure why people are so frequently surprised given that 90% of the premise is "wasn't it better when this was all countryside?" I would not be surprised if there's a bunch of "Real Women" transphobia going on and talking about doing things "naturally". As for Labour certainly in my constituency we've been making efforts to get left wing people in branch and CLP positions. All efforts at the minute are on the upcoming county council elections but after May I want to try and get the influx from the second leadership election involved, since the whole farce of the election and CLPs being shut down totally hosed recruitment and campaigning for a while and we haven't really recovered.

It was a bunch of old white guys. It's basically their default state. Bonus points for the bewildered looking white dude ranting about "the Islams." Local parties can be better. Mine basically just talk about carpools, recycling and disability rights. Pissflaps posted:Yeah this will definitely revive Labour.
