Hell, even most of the ones who did live through WW2 just had to spend their evenings in the basement and eat flavorless food. What a national tragedy

Guy Goodbody posted:Hell, even most of the ones who did live through WW2 just had to spend their evenings in the basement and eat flavorless food. What a national tragedy Food, petrol, and clothes were rationed for the poor well into the fifties, and the homelessness caused by the bombing attacks was only really ended in the mid to late sixties. Many rural communities never really recovered from both the losses in manpower and also livestock which were both government property, and just died off. Lot of people were also really traumatised by it, I know my great-grandad never properly recovered from being an air raid warden and trying to dig dying people out of their burning houses. He was a nervous wreck for the last fifty or so years of his life after that. 2 of my great aunts were blown up, as children, during the war, and my grandmother was still (understandably) sad about that when she died a couple years ago. None of that is particularly atypical of any British family. If you're north American and so families at home never experienced any hardship whatsoever then I get being glib about it, but it was a a real bad time for Europeans, and the only time most of its survivors are ever really open about how much it hurt is just before they die, so something that's already a latent part of the national psyche gets refreshed, albeit with a very different edge to the Dad's Army We All Just Mucked In And Saw Off Jerry official line at a time that's already quite traumatic.

tarbrush posted:The only issue with this is there's no way to do it to foreign listed firms, so you end up forcing a bunch of them to relist abroad or get eaten by their foreign competitors It’s also a worse deal for the workers than a lot of existing share-save schemes in some companies, which is kind of funny if it forces hen to end.

https://twitter.com/DawnHFoster/status/1046023210549071874 The Conservatives have apparently just decided that security at their conference isn't necessary & are letting anyone pretend to be anyone else so long as they just have their email address. Geniuses.

All this talk of 'adequate food' & sending in the army to deliver supplies: https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2018/aug/02/brexit-leave-food-shortages Has got me taking notice of my colleagues who started stocking up on essentials months ago. In the weekly shop we stocked up on a load of tinned goods & plan to add to it over the months. I cant see a downside to this as we have the space & will eat it anyways, if food prices do go up we'll have a reserve. Anyone think I'm overreacting & it's a stupid idea?

MikeCrotch posted:IIRC he also only got elected because a not insubstantial numbers of Conservative electors got physically caught up in anime convention nerds? I think it was a really long and exhausting day and some delegates just said fuckit and went back to their hotels, thinking that they wouldn't be needed. But they were needed because their candidate failed to get elected and the absent delegates needed a way to save face. Also timezone stuff too, was getting late for some of the east coasters (who also incidentally were older too).
