An insane mind posted:That's a depressed lol from me, did that guy campaign on leave? Leading conservative intellectual James Delingpole. He is a big voice against man-made climate change, probably the biggest in the UK. Regularly pops up and says "well I'm not a scientist so you can't expect me to interpret the data but also listen to my opinions on how the science is wrong". loving imbecile. Another fine product of the British independent, fee-paying schools and Oxbridge.

News media does this on purpose to undermine the credibility of the science by presenting it on an equal footing to these kinds of people because most of the news is owned and/or funded by corporate conglomerates that have profit interests in the fossil fuel industry.

JFairfax posted:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZwbYjgL0qdA No it isn't. It's the worst kind of bourgie "lets go condescend to poors from both sides of the debate" journalism. gently caress this vox populi poo poo. I don't give a flying gently caress about 84-year old Southend resident Mabel's opinion on how they should just get on with the Brexit she voted for. Brexit is objectively bad. Policy experts and other people who have been balls deep in the EU and economics for most of their adult lives are screaming about how loving bad it is. But no, for the sake of balance here's some gaunt-faced English middle-class twunt who retired at 50 to spend weeks in the Algarve coming home now and again to check on how her guinea pig sanctuary business is going complaining about how she just doesn't understand why the government can't get on with it because Brexit is Brexit.

I heard the news today, oy vey.... Actually yesterday brexit on CBC radio made me howl with laughter The Queen said "you guys need to politic" or something. CBC cut to your Chancellor of the Exchequer, where he was all "Yes, the queen is right, we have to negotiate, we have to compromise, and when I say we I mean them because Britain is leaving the EU" If I were the Queen, I think I'd hire Ian McShane and I'd whisper in his ear and have him thunder at Parliament, inform the government that they are fired, announce brexit stopped until somebody can actually come up with a plan that won't result in GDP shrinkage, and throw May into the tower, to show that there are worse things that can happen than damage to your political career

Regarde Aduck posted:Is the UK known to have iodine deficiency or is this just your new thing? I've become convinced that it is the solution to that mystery. The UK has endemic iodine deficiency. It is one of the 10 most iodine deficient countries in the world according to the Lancet. Britain managed to eliminate serious iodine deficiency by getting iodine into milk, so there isnt goiter or serious developmental disability, but nobody seemed to bother checking whether or not it was really enough iodine until recently. It wasn't. Iodizing table salt and the salt used to process foods eliminates iodine deficiency completely, and is easy and inexpensive. It has been done in a lot of the developing world because it's a public health issue you can pretty easily solve, but the UK and some european countries never bothered doing it themselves. It's not that it's made all british people stupid, almost half of British people aren't iodine deficient, and even among the majority that is, it's unlikely it has done really serious damage to them. But even a relatively small diminishment in mental capacity, across a large enough part of the population, can mean this public health problem is plausibly responsible for real public policy problems. Especially when an enormously consequential referendum is decided by a narrow margin. https://www.bbc.com/news/health-13034582 http://www.btf-thyroid.org/professionals/research-news/192-uk-is-iodine-deficient https://www.thelancet.com/pdfs/journals/landia/PIIS2213-8587(16)30055-9.pdf https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/23570907 hakimashou has issued a correction as of 04:41 on Jan 26, 2019 |

Jose posted:tahts assuming she can even pass it in the first place guess it depends on whether tory remainers are willing to accede to an attempt to cushion the political impact of no deal, i assume that killing the backstop gets her the DUP. i guess the alternative explanation is that may plans to take the backstopless plan to brussels, get told to go to hell, and then come back with proof that the backstop is non-negotiable and that she really did try her best, guys. or of course the strong possibility that may has absolutely no plan and is just kind of flailing in the wind

Just so I don’t misunderstand this, removing the backstop means North Ireland gets a hard border on day 1 of Brexit, right? Unless a border deal is figured out before then, which, lol, it’d still be May in charge of negotiating.

Unless a border deal is figured out before then, which, lol, it’d still be May in charge of negotiating. depends on what you consider to be day 1 of brexit but yes, if there is no deal in place by the end of the transitional period, and there is no backstop in the withdrawal agreement, northern ireland will be just as cut off from the EU as everywhere else which means the border will be rock-hard. it's pretty much unthinkable that there would be no deal by then, but even if there were a deal there would potentially be customs checks etc. on par with what you see at the US-mexico border for example

Unless a border deal is figured out before then, which, lol, it’d still be May in charge of negotiating. The backstop is part of the deal because there can't be a hard border between NI/Ireland due to the good friday deal and May refuses to allow a full customs union with the UK that stops it being an issue. This is because her 2 main things with brexit are stopping freedom of movement and being able to negotiate our own trade deals. The backstop is the interim measure to stop a hard border until a free trade agreement has been agreed with the EU at which point it would stop being necessary The hard brexiters don't want the backstop because they want a free trade deal with the US that'll become impossible if we get one with the EU because we'll end up on their regulatory alignments. The DUP just don't want NI being different ot the rest of the UK
