I know forkboy went to school not too far from me so it is a local thing for us. When I was at uni, we were studying The Cheviot, The Stag and the Black, Black Oil (which if you haven't read or seen is totally amazing and you should), and there was only one other student (from Plockton) who knew what the clearances were and only one more (from Dumfries-way) who had heard of them. I hate that I have to ask this, but...what's the Enclosures?

Talking about Northern Ireland, I just found out about the Clontibret Invasion & wow. If you can't be arsed reading the Wikipedia article on it, in 1986 a couple hundred Unionists (including ex-DUP leader Peter Robinson) crossed the border into Ireland in the huff over the Anglo-Irish Agreement, smashed cars, splashed anti-Agreement graffiti everywhere (including on the wall of a church. A protestant church!), and attacked 2 Garda. Kind of small compared to some of the horrible poo poo that happened but the fact Robinson was involved & got arrested makes it stand out.

if the DUP demand too much, and if I were a Tory in a suddenly-narrow marginal - and god knows there are plenty of such now - I would be seriously considering whether: - a May government is likely to last long enough to render the opprobrium worth it, and - whether a May government can actually afford to punish naughty Tories in any way

All entrants should donate £5 (plus however much extra you feel is appropriate) to The Samaritans and frankly anybody who chuckled at Ober's prediction should probably also donate, possibly £69 or some other amusing number, to them too. Interestingly (excluding Ober's predictions) the mean for the entries was: CON: 320.75 LAB: 250.25 LD: 5.5 Other: 68.58333333 making us collectively considerably closer to the final result than most of the pollsters.

forkboy84 posted:For Norn Iron goons, something I've always wanted to know. Why exactly are the nationalists parties much more strongly associated with left wing politics & the unionists all right wing? Surely there's loads of working class unionists who would vote for a party that looked after their rights while also being for remaining in the UK? And with Fianna Fail & Fine Gael you've obviously got nearby examples of right wing Irish nationalist parties. So how has it ended up as it has?

There's a list of DUP demands on twitter somewhere (saw it on the BBC live feed and am phone posting) and they are all about money rather than gay rights or abortion etc, seem reasonable until you get to the final few which are all 'SINN FEIN AND THE REPUBLICANS MUST SUFFER'

Is Chris Leslie a blairite oval office? The guardian seems intent on giving him an article where he's making GBS threads on corbyn saying that " oh yah well he didn't actually win the election, anyone could've beat May, you have to be credible bork bork bork." In fact there's a kind of motif and under current to the guardian with the "still didn't win Nyah Nyah" angle.
