Jose posted:£64+ a week is a fairly hefty amount Wow, that's gone up. I think it was something like 10 or 15, though this was back in 2005. edit: Though by 2006 they were charging 69 a week, so either they did a massive rate hike, or I was being paid way too much in 2005 and didn't actually pay attention to things like that. And because this is a terrible snipe, have a watercolour doodle of a WW2 pillbox that's fallen down a cliff.

Front room, dining room, take your pick. I roughly paced it out at the time and It's about the same size and layout as my front room (which also has the Good Table, as is tradition), but definitely not a conference room for eight. Also mine has much better wallpaper, even if it is the previous occupants'.

https://twitter.com/YouGov/status/1163897106291052544 I can't help but be depressed by polls like this. How the hell do we turn this around? Half of Labour's support has leaked off to the yellow tories it feels.

Encouraging them to continue to poo poo the bed re: actually trying to stop brexit seems like a good plan. Also TBH it's increasingly unlikely that we'll actually get a GE before brexit so eh.

Not So Fast posted:https://twitter.com/YouGov/status/1163897106291052544 Yougov tends to be a "bad" poll for us as they over estimate/sample the tories/anyone but labour population. However you point stands that we have hemorrhaged support to the lib dems on brexit, we has become the liberals "feels over reals" issue, and The Greens on "I am left wing but feel a bit iffy about the current Labour party". Only way to fix it is to have a new, left wing leader that is pro-EU. Otherwise our best bet is lightning striking twice and being able to form a coalition with a party that loving hates us (the lib dems).

Darth Walrus posted:The Soviet-backed Democratic Republic of Afghanistan was indeed the most socially liberal of the three, with reforms including equal rights for women and universal education. Unfortunately, it was a very 'hire more women guards' flavour of liberalism. The signature policy of the new communist government was land reform, seizing any farm over a certain size for the government without compensating its owners. It was supposed to be a populist sop to poor Afghans, sticking the boot into wealthy, exploitative farmers. The problem was that Afghanistan was a largely agrarian economy with poor soil and low population density, so even the poorest farms were pretty big, which meant that a shitload of dirt-poor subsistence farmers got their land stolen by wealthy ministers. A lot of that is true about several other places where the soviet-backed governments were around, but I'd still take it over religious Mad Max cosplayers or the actual Taliban. Though to be fair my classmate's family were from Kabul and somewhat educated, so possibly not quite the people suffering the most. e: champagne Stalinism Private Speech fucked around with this message at 21:58 on Aug 20, 2019 |

Yeah if we do get an election Labour just needs to point to the fact that unless they form the next government then we're still leaving with no deal. The Lib Dems just don't have a good answer to that.

All countries are imploding right now, there's a global recession coming Some fare much better than others though, maybe learn Danish and move to Denmark? Or Norway or one of the nordic states - they're the best place to live right now I think even though the far-right is gaining ground there If that's not an option, well, have a cup of tea or your favourite hot beverage, take a deep breath, take things one step at a time, and dehumanise yourself and face to bloodshed Pochoclo fucked around with this message at 22:21 on Aug 20, 2019 |

Back from my brothers wedding. It was lovely, him and his wife are all married and love each other very much and did the most "on brand" thing for them that they can do in that they gave people presents during one of the speeches to say thank you for coming. I got to have a lot of talks with my cousins and meet up with Bens friends and with the family. We now have a few more cousins part of it, one of them who was born abroad is possibly the happiest baby I have seen in my life, I've never encountered one who is just constantly smiling! The food was lovely, I got to wear a rather nice suit and enjoy a day out with the family. Now I am probably going to crash like I usually do having seen my folks, but it was very good fun being there with all of them.

Yeah Denmark is pretty fash recently. Also their housing crisis is just as bad, from what I hear from of people who moved over there (and they are mostly computer touchers so it's not just the poors). The wages might be high but tax rate and cost of living are exorbitant in comparison.

London is even more expensive than Copenhagen though, the UK has been getting pretty fash lately also, not to mention Brexit, and while the tax rate is lower, pensions and public services are shittier in the UK Salaries have a more even distribution in Denmark from what I heard - you have more chances of getting a good salary there, but if you want a super high salary in a high demand field you're more likely to get it in London, but on the other hand lol at ever buying a house in London while Copenhagen is still humanly possible

The populace kicking out their leadership on their rear end can happen, in my own experiencequote:The freeze (of bank accounts) enraged many Argentines who took to the streets of important cities, especially Buenos Aires. They engaged in protests that became known as cacerolazo (banging pots and pans). The cacerolazos began as noisy demonstrations but soon included property destruction, often directed at banks, foreign-owned privatized companies, and, especially, big American and European companies. It does involve a bit of violence though
