Nissin Cup Nudist posted:I see. SF coming out of nowhere is still one hell of a thought experiment. Guys who joined up in their 20s in the early 80s are pushing into their 50s so still a decade or so, but there is a younger generation of cunts who've been taken under their wing They pass the time shooting drug dealers in the knees and extorting money from teenage drug addicts and ordering their parents to bring them to dark alleys to get crippled Real nice guys

Angepain posted:Thanks for this. Maybe someone put this in the OP as it might come up a lot? Overlooked this, but most of the time Derry is fine, if someone takes exception you can be assured they're a real old-school hardliner. Sarah Bellum posted:El Derry (from L'Derry) or Stroke City (Derry/Londonderry). But just go ahead and call it Derry. All the residents of Derry do so, nationalist and unionist. There are Protestant insititutions based there called things like "The Apprentice Boys of Derry" who commemorate the "siege of Derry". Only scary loyalists from other counties and British newsreaders call it Londonderry. I'm honestly not currently well-informed enough on the Stormont situation to say anything beyond "It's buggered", or I would have included more about that. Also yes if I gave the impression that there's a threat of violence I was very wrong to do so, it's very much a threat of the sort you describe. Violence is a possible result of everything spinning off its axis, not something anyone is eagerly planning (well there are always some I'm sure, but not more than normal).

waffle posted:Proud of you all from here in Southampton. I'm gutted by the Itchen loss (31 votes) but we'll get them next time. I don't wanna "I told you so" with the local party for focusing on Test rather than Itchen, but, Yeah, I was in test because that was the target seat, so a few of us headed down from safe Tory land. Never mind, it's very firmly safe Labour now, so I'll probably see you in Itchen in 6 months

Violence is a possible result of everything spinning off its axis, not something anyone is eagerly planning (well there are always some I'm sure, but not more than normal). You didn't, not at all, but I think some people took it up that way. Also, do you remember Paul Berry, the DUP MLA who got a "sports massage" from a rent boy in the Ramada hotel? I once vandalised his wikipedia page to say that his name was Paul 'London' Berry, and it went unnoticed for about a year. It was only caught and removed when some other eedjit also took the notion to vandalise his page with homophobic slurs.

How can you blame them? Northern Ireland and Ireland proper? The only other countries that are divided by direction are North Korea and South Korea, (And South Sudan + Sudan Proper) Many of the cases of this are Filled with constant strife. How can you Not expect NI to be a hotbed of youth terrorism? The troubles was like an intifada. East and West Germany didn't work well now did it.

hakimashou posted:You guys really gotta let go of the hate for Blair. Not while he's still knocking around looking for an angle to get back in. Speaking of which, has he been seen today? He's been conspicuous by his absence in the news but you would think the most successful Labour leader of the last half century would have something to say about these results. I'm sure he'd be out and about if it had been a shitshow for Corbyn.

The harder the Tories twist themselves into knots, the more hope we have for our own wretched future.

Blair's government did a lot of good, but it came at the price of their souls, and a Labour party with no soul quickly becomes disaffected.

Mister Adequate posted:Alright lads and lasses, seeing as there's a lot of questions about Are Wee Country given the DUP issue, I'm going to put together a small effortpost that can hopefully clear some things up. Bear in mind that I've not actually lived in the province for some time now, and though it's an area of interest, it's not an area I could be called a specialist. You can probably assume that anyone correcting me is more accurate than I am. Also, full disclosure, family of mine was killed in the Shankill Road Bombing of 1993, and I in principle support unification, so various biases may show. Anyway, caveats out of the way, here goes: I just wanted to say that this is an excellent post and really helped out. Shared it with some friends in the States who are curious about what happens now in the UK. Thanks!

Freeman's twitter timeline is fascinating, scathing and honest and clearly unhappy with May's leadership and a potential deal with the DUP. If he was just a backbencher this would be one thing, but he's the director of May's policy unit.
