Also, it's only half of the game, which is why it's so loving awful to play. There's supposed to be a second stage where owning property and money is disadvantageous and the tension is surviving the capitalist stage without snowballing so much you lose in the second (which is religiously themed, iirc?)

Monopoly games take forever despite often being "finished" very early after a player gets an insurmountable lead for this reason. They didn't just steal it, they did so in a way that both ruined the intention and the gameplay.
I thought the second half of the game was supposed to be a land value tax or something that evens things up, which was what many progressive circles at the time thought would eventually happen in late capitalism.

Instead there's just a big family argument and everyone goes away feeling unfulfilled, which is what the current consensus on late capitalism seems to be.

e: 343 was when St. Nicholas died, which is why we play classic board games at Christmas to remember his suffering.

Nuttall got a massive round of applause for pointing out the islamic elephant in the room. I disagree with him about it entirely but the current liberal rhetoric on islamic extremists obviously isn't doing the job.

You mean the current liberal rethoric of calling for endless bombings of anybody you suspect to be an islamist or to exist in the general vicinity of an islamist?

What, the rhetoric that we need to pressure muslims to nebulously "integrate more" and report extremism betterer? Or is the objection to the statement that only a very small number of muslims are terrorists? Because the latter is true and the former is already pretty bad.

The thing with monopoly is that people change the rules and it keeps too much money in the game and it prolongs the end for hours. Don't have fines go to free parking and don't have unlimited supplies of houses and hotels.

Keep the resources scarce and the weak will be crushed quickly. That's how the game is designed to be played.

The best and most realistic way to play Monopoly is to volunteer to be the bank and then sneak a few hundreds into your stack when everybody is is busy arguing.

Remember when Webb had a late-night meltdown on twitter about how he worked bloody hard at Cambridge so he didn't have to sweep streets? The man is a daft oval office

Oh God aye, he was so offended that Corbyn said that street sweepers opinions matter too that he started pivoting wildly between being and elitist posh twat mocking the poor to "MY PARENTS WERE THE SALT OF THE EARTH WORKING CLASS GREW UP IN A BEDSIT AND YOU HAVE MADE IT IMPOSSIBLE FOR ME TO VOTE LABOUR".

Coattail riding dullard.

I don't mind David Mitchell but I'm not a fan ether. I get bored of his "There has been a slight infraction of politeness and I'm going to get really angry about it" shtick.

I'm sympathetic to HAMAS. Again like the IRA I don't agree with the killing but I get why they exist. I understand their existence is a result of cause and effect in an imperfect world where people don't solve everything by talking.

More or less, yes, but "spiv economy" as a phrase is going to resonate pretty strongly with a lot of working class temporarily embarrassed millionaires who Tebbit managed to bring into the Tory fold.

If Brexit wasn't completely muddying the waters that would have been a really good line for Labour to take to try and win those types back, as it's a prefect criticism of the modern economy and the word still carries a lot of power round Basildon.
