Deptfordx posted:He said "It's a shame they don't hire out steam rollers or tanks could have done a tidy job then." Let's play a game: if a steamroller or tank was what hit those Muslims targeted for who they are, would more or less of them have died? Were specific people targeted or was it merely a specific 'type' of person? Advocacy to hate speech has been a crime for a long time and it has not lead to authoritarianism in the countries that do it. The countries with genuine authoritarian lock-em-up-for-thinking-different society have completely different laws to the ones we have. This is not an increase in criminalisation of speech given it has been in law since 1986 and was in fact a weakening of the original 1936 version. That's unless you specifically have problems with the Racial and Religious Hatred Act 2006?

For example, no border checks at the Irish border but if you cross it without being a citizen of the Island of Ireland then you're technically breaking the law and subject to deportation; I think that's how the CTA worked prior to Schengen?

Renaissance Robot posted:I'm going to start renting a flat in a couple of months, and I'm kinda rusty on the subject of my rights. I'll be heading down to the CAB today but I wanted to ask here as well if I could. I don't think anyone's responded to this yet and it's from a few pages ago (train chat  ) but if it's helpful:It really depends on the contract you sign, so if you sign up for your tenancy starting from 1st July you'd be liable for the rent from then. If your tenancy starts afterwards you are responsible for rent from whenever that is. It really should be your actual move in date not a random date she decides on. Don't sign the contract until you are clear on the start date and negotiate for it to be later in July. She'd be silly to deny you the contract now and have to hunt for a last minute new tenant. Plus if she's doing maintenance to the property and it's not habitable before your actual move in date, it'd be hard for her to suggest you should pay for rent for that time. That said ALAB so good luck.

The DUP specifically don't want a special status for Northern Ireland and have voted against this at Stormont - they want a singular national deal. They want a good Brexit, one with deals where well make money - so really about as fleshed out as every national party

Didn't Ireland reject the latest EU treaty change when it went to referendum mainly because of left wing and anti-war concerns, and were then told to do it again until they got it right?

MikeCrotch posted:You seem to be implying that Train Chat is bad I'm literally looking up train tickets now, they are loving extortionate! I'm also going on a 3 hour train journey tomorrow and expect to be a horrible sweaty mess at the end of it, at which point I have to go to a work meeting and then 'socialise'. At least work paid. Basically gently caress trains, can we get back to breakfast chat it was much nicer.

I don't know why there was so much attention from the British press about the DUP being a force to tame Brexit - they where full in during the referendum and have spent decades complaining about, they have legit hovered around UKIP territory on the issue for years and the idea Sammy Wilson and other noted EU hating MPs where going to be the voice of reason to stop hard Brexit is pretty delusional

Guavanaut posted:Didn't Ireland reject the latest EU treaty change when it went to referendum mainly because of left wing and anti-war concerns, and were then told to do it again until they got it right? Small amendments where made to placate concerns, and the main reason why it was rejected was cause no one understood what the hell it was about - government ministers famously hosed up and admitted on radio they hadn't even read it. Throw on top of that a lot of money being shuffled into the no campaign alligned to Libertas from some undeclared sources and you had a recipe for rejection

He sounds like a right charmer.

That's not what happened, see KKs comment for an accurate summary. But for whatever reason this became the dominant narrative in the UK. I suspect Boris Johnson somehow

Tesseraction posted:Advocating genocide is not merely 'stupid' or 'unpleasant' and this pearl-clutching over free speech makes little sense given countries all over the world ban hate speech to some degree and the one closest to becoming a totalitarian state right now is the one which put Freedom of Speech as its first paragraph of the national Bill of Rights.

Deptfordx posted:He said "It's a shame they don't hire out steam rollers or tanks could have done a tidy job then." The flip side is that 'free' speech is already used as a weapon against people without power and money (scare quotes because there are already legal restrictions on what you can say without ending up in court, and I'm not talking about inciting hatred of minorities) And I mean, just as a general lifehack, if you're tangentially connected to an act of terrorism, you probably shouldn't tweet "good thing the police don't want to talk to me" and "wish it had been more effective"

BigHandsVince posted:I took roughly the same amount of trains in Japan that year as I took over here , there were 0 problems on any of the Japanese trains. None were late. None were cancelled. "That year" - you just said you used a JR pass which are only for people on short term tourist visas. The issue isn't the number of trains you took, it's the sort of trains you took and at what time of day you took them. Cheers for mansplaining to me though, if there's one thing that a long-term ex-pat loving loves it's someone who went somewhere on holiday for a couple of weeks and is now an expert. Also, the plural of "anacdote" is not "data" - I've just explained to you that there's a specific system for proving to work you didn't gently caress up yourself when trains are late and you think that this is just a thing that's never used?
