Wasn't Churchill literally the man who coined the term "United States of Europe" and suggested we should all join it? E:beaten

Mugsbaloney posted:(I'm phone posting and don't really know how to use imgur) They probably could do with updating it, I had a look at who was mayor of Sheffield and it's Anne Murphy, Don't think she's muslim. Who cares who the mayor is anyway do they have much power? I know the London mayor might have a lot more power but isn't being a mayor mostly just people getting to wear special jewelry and there's probably a statute from the 1100s meaning every farmer in the local area has to give them a bucket of poo poo every year.

In fairness Churchill saw the US, Europe and the Commonwealth (with Britain at its head) as a triumvirate of post war powers. However it's pretty unlikely he'd look at the current political landscape and conclude that Britain was best served going it alone.

Zephro posted:They're somehow not, though. The problem with anything screen based is you can't modify it or doodle on it, you can't rifle through it quickly, searching/scanning sucks and the fact you can only have one screen at once (or two if you use dual monitors but w/e) is a problem too. You can have like 8 different bits of paper immediately to hand. everybody get a look at this pleb who can't afford eight kindles

Fingerless Gloves posted:Did you not see her hat Honestly, that probably was a subtle little jab - the Queen's job is entirely about appearances, so every aspect of her outfit is utterly micromanaged. Sneaky little wardrobe choices are about the only way she can make anything approaching a political statement. All this means that if you see her wearing a red coat and an ushanka, you know what to do, comrades.

Sneaky little wardrobe choices are about the only way she can make anything approaching a political statement. I recall reading reports from multiple sources that the Queen actually was in favour of Brexit. Given that she's an 91 year old monarchist this seems way more likely than the alternative. She's probably all over that "Empire 2.0" strategy.

After the past couple of weeks, she may be considerably more in favour of making Theresa May squirm. Also, she was an ambulance driver during the war, and the EU has been pretty effective at keeping one of those from happening again.

Theresa May's fair and serious offer on human rights has been responded to with "lol no" I know I'm heavily prejudiced to already think she as a person and the conservatives as a party are dangerously incompetent but surely the papers can't shield shite like this? where are these people who think this is how a leader is supposed to operate

DUP huffing and puffing they have secured a commitment from the Tories to fully extend all aspects of the military covenant to Northern Ireland. Full implementation has been blocked previously with understandable nationalist objections to anything approaching preferential access to public services for armed forces veterans - though the covenant only requires steps are taken to ensure members of the armed forces are not at a disadvantage compared to normal citizens there are concerns full implementation could result in a push for additional preference as in England for veterans in housing allocation, a touchy subject considering the history of social housing in NI and quite possibly illegal under existing NI equality legislation preventing indirect discrimination based on political opinion. Lord Ashcroft previously recommended amending section 75 of the agreement to include armed service personnel as a protected category to allow reasonable discriminatory measures to be taken to facilitate the covenants implementation, any such move would be highly inflammatory kustomkarkommando fucked around with this message at 10:44 on Jun 23, 2017 |

If the UK possessed a comprehensive system of identity verification linked to the provision of identity documents, like the rest of Europe, then the current notion of 'registering' EU 27 citizens here would not even require any discussion, just as the free movement migration controls already extant in EU legislation could have actually been implemented, as they have been in France, Germany, Belgium and the Netherlands in the past, if the UK government had the competence to know who is actually entering the country in the first place. UK government incompetence is to blame for this- the EU are asking for nothing more than could be achieved in any of the other EU 27 countries that are actually competent.

Skinty McEdger posted:Nick Davies two books about the evils of modern journalism Flat Earth News (which goes in depth about the Mail and the Stephen Lawrence case) and Hack Attack (which focuses on the Murdoch papers and phone hacking) are well worth a read. Flat earth news predicts a bunch of pessimistic trends for journalism that he hopes to be proven wrong about, while Hack Attacks message is things are worse than I had thought they would be. Flat Earth News is an incredible and goddamn depressing book. Just dredging this up as another recommendation to read it.
