So the settled status guidance has been updated, if any other fellow euros want to have a look.

It doesn't look too bad, but I half expect to be told to gently caress off because of some technicality or another. Also obviously anyone who it concerns may really want to save/hunt down documents that can be used as evidence of residence

That's also heresy, the Urimperor of Mankind sits eternal atop His golden throne, broadcasting His psychic beacon into the immaterium to guide the ships of His loyal followers through the daemon haunted wastes of communism and brexit. It is His will that shields us from the ruinous powers of jam granddads and slightly unhinged prime ministers. Why do you think it's called a Geller field?

Yes, I know, liberalism bad, but it would probably effectively draw in the protestant middle classes who've been turned away from Unionism by the Tory/DUP politicking and social conservatism.

Isn't that just the Alliance Party though? They don't seem to be sapping numbers from anyone.

Also, despite being as West Brit as they come there is literally no way FG will attempt to canvas up north in the next decade outside of a sudden reunification. Even then I'd doubt it.

But basically google 'Uri Geller James Randi' and you will see a few articles about it.
Uri got his manager in on the scientific experiments to pre-bend spoons or fake whatever, conning the scientists who thought they are on a new frontier.
So in turn got uni money to buy Uri to experiment on.
Uri is so sue happy these days himself if you mention it.

(you could make a point such a transition period would not have been necessary if we had speedily concluded a withdrawal agreement and progressed to future relationship talks before the article 50 window closed but that's pretty moot now)

The EU has said they won't start negotiations on the future relationship until we're no longer a member, so I don't think that would make a difference - we'd still have to wait until March 29 to start that process.

I do agree that FG could help push unification among Alliance/garden-centre Unionists but their organisation North of the border verges on the non-existent currently - they did recently open a youth branch at queen's (something FF did a long time ago) and made noises about further organisation but they are a long way behind. It's hard to avoid that if the a border poll was called tomorrow SF would be the prime movers on the ground which is one of the reasons the whole Think32 thing is kicking into gear to develop a platform to stimulate a debate to broaden the unification platform into something more civic.

And of course FGs usefulness lasts as long as they stay in government and I think that the the DUP are well aware that if SF get into the cabinet then some of those middle ground voters who currently see Dublin as the solution to the moribound SF/DUP status quo might feel a bit iffy.

Surely if he votes for the deal, along with enough others for it to pass, then we don't need a referendum? We'll be ready to leave.

Also about the settled status thing, if you are a foreign but own a house here does that factor in to your chances of being allowed to stay?

Great point about focus on process over result favouring old establishment fixers. This's what has always bothered me about the People's Vote thing. I don't particularly want to vote again, and the vote is not fundamentally why I care; I just want this shitstorm to end so I don't have to worry about my family. But that's not necessarily the view of the people doing the organization, and this lack of solidarity sometimes leaks through in the decisions and tactics they use.

WARNING! INTRUDERS DETECTED

I've been thinking about No Deal Brexit and the narrative of what a horrible thing it will be.

What concerns me is that I don't think No Deal will be this spectacular disaster. Rather it's going to look like austerity: the poor, the weak and the disadvantaged slowly dying off at an accelerated but preventable rate, obfuscating direct responsibility. Which means that the political and media narrative will be "oh, it wasn't such a big problem after all", especially after hyping up what a mess it will be; it will be a disaster, but a slow and quiet one, like climate change.

Currently listening to an audiobook about the French revolution and she's explaining about political sides like "right wing" "left wing" and "Liberal" etc

She explains how these beliefs were very different back then than what they are today.

For example "right wing" represented pro-monarchy, patriarchy (father controlled the house hold), authoritarianism and strong support for the church.

Left wing pretty much went full on democracy, abolish slavery, take down the nobles, confiscate church lands and take away political power from the church, rights for women etc

Meanwhile Liberals didn't think that democracy should go quite so far as to offer representation to non-land owners, Liberals supported some social rights but also believed in a strong rule of law and protection of private property (more specifically the property held and generated by the rich through enslavement of the poor)

And I'm like "lady, nothing has changed at all"


Edit: also apparently "the terror" was a drop in the ocean compared to the thousands of pro-revolution people who got flat our murdered on the spot for going near regions of France that were pro-monarchy. Like monarchist villages would out right purge themselves of people who expressed support for the new constitution.


Edit2: George Washington was also kind of a dick towards France. France bankrupted itself supporting the American revolution. So France sent a diplomat to the US to negotiate some points that could help France and it went like this.

France: hey US. We went broke helping you out. Have you considered maybe working on repaying that that war debt to us?
Washington: Na
France: Okay how about an improvement in our current trade deal?
Washington: Na
France: Okay okay. How about we sign a treaty where we promise not to attack one another?
Washington: Hmmm you and the Brits are always at one another's throats and the Brits might be useful trade partners one day so I'm going to pass.


It ended with the French concluding that the only thing the Americans valued was money.
