I run a little takeaway doing breakfast and lunches in an industrial estate south scotland, and ofc a section of my customers have some takes so hot I could cook bacon on. Served a customer yesterday, then they hung around for a while, and his solution to crime and the problems these days with the young ones would be public flogging. I loving hate people sometimes. I really wish i had went at him but i just kinda passively aggroed them out by loving off and making lots of noise doing dishes till they got the hint, just Venting, like up thread it was mentioned its hard when noone else seems to be on the same wavelength and least half of who i cater for have lovely opinions, i hate biting my tounge sometimes but times are hard and too many lost customers means i dont eat, just feel a bit poo poo not fighting our corner. The climate change guy that was like so much for climate change after the mexico hail storm that bailed after i started on him felt good tho. 2 more inches of bloody rain today and the broken drains around here would had me flooded out, totaly typical for august tho. /edit 51 An area of interest apparently and also:

Sounds good. Benefits are cheaper than policing, prosecution, and prison.

Yesterday I decided to watch a bunch of old Jonathan Creek episodes because I remembered really liking them when I was younger and oh boy let me tell you a whole lot of it has aged very poorly. Personal favourite parts: - sleazy magician guy in court for sexually assaulting a hotel employee, bribes a bunch of people to testify that she's a lying grifter, gets away with away with it while she's jailed, puffs away on his cigar making wisecracks as she yells at him and gets dragged away in tears. Literally all of this played very much for laughs (what a hilarious cad!!!) - an entire episode where there's a whole running gag that people keep thinking maddy (jc's mystery solving journalist partner) is Jewish, very very very heavily implied because she's got a kind of big nose. Again this is extremely funny!!! The 90s were a different time...

What’s even the argument for having Indyref2 if Labour get in? Brexit almost certainly won’t happen in that instance, and hard/no deal Brexit definitely won’t. I thought that the entire argument for Indyref2 was that Brexit changed the maths on the original Indyref, which was originally supposed to be a once-in-a-generation decision.

I fell asleep so this is 2 pages late, but just to be clear, I know what Labour's policy is. Source these quotes: radmonger posted:Dunno about FBPE’s, but the obvious objection to that policy is that literally zero voters want to spend the next 6-12 months ignoring all other political and economic issues in order to extend Brexit in an attempt to negotiate an implausible deal. You do know about FBPEs because all the evidence suggests that if you're not one then you're extremely adjacent. If we crash out on no deal then Brexit will be *the* economic issue for a gently caress of a lot longer than 6-12 months. If A50 is unilaterally revoked then Brexit will be *the* political issue for a lot longer than 6-12 months. If you genuinely want to avoid no deal, then there does not exist a way of doing so that takes Brexit off the agenda for the foreseeable future, but hey I'd love to hear an alternative if you're capable of doing anything other than pissing from the sidelines. I don't know what makes you think that a Labour negotiated deal is implausible or that it would take 6-12 months. The deal that Labour would be seeking already exists for Norway, and while it's hardly perfect it's the only thing that respects the referendum result without tipping us off the cliff.

I thought that the entire argument for Indyref2 was that Brexit changed the maths on the original Indyref, which was originally supposed to be a once-in-a-generation decision. I'd argue that even if Brexit doesn't happen, the years of Brexit chaos have strengthened the case for independence. Even with no Brexit and Corbyn PM, who know what hosed up poo poo will happen when the next tory government comes along? Brexit 2? And I don't know about the once in a generation thing, that's just something Alex Salmond said once it's not like it was binding for the whole independence movement. Anyway I always read that statement more as "this could be our only chance for a generation" instead of "we promise to stop pursuing independence for 20 years in the event of a no vote".

Only because the debate is now poisoned. But there are loads of clips of Leave campaigners like Farage, Gove, Hannan etc. talking about Norway and Switzerland as examples of deals we could make. Just stitch them together and give every Labour MP an app that plays them directly, then hold it up every time anyone says it's not what people voted for.

Brexit is now part of the political landscape for at least a generation, so again, if you've got a better suggestion I'd love to hear it.

Haha this doesn't work they just brush it off. But yeah I agree that a Norway deal would be respecting the result on paper. But the Brexiteer obsession with immigration means that freedom of movement will always be a red line so any soft Brexit is off the table. Nobody wants it.

After hearing (some of) them go on for years about 'unelected Brussels bureaucrats', it would be pretty hilarious to drag these elected Brussels bureaucrats back home and watch them trying to justify why they should still get a high salary, pension and expenses for doing gently caress all.

I would consider it implausible that Labour could negotiate a deal that led to satisfying 20% of leave voters while keeping the ~2024 GDP within 20% of what it would have been otherwise. The best route to satisfying a larger percentage of Brexit voters is to spend some of the resources and effort that lost money would represent on infrastructure, health care, welfare, industrial investment and culture. While stressing that we would never have been in a position to do so without the shock to the status quo represented by the Brexit vote.
