Well I had absolutely no idea. So no, I wasn't being 'reminded' as I never knew in the first place.

Though given that I still enjoy Father Ted and listen to Burzum... erm...

Get a Boonie hat. They're lightweight, easily wide enough to keep the sun off, and you can stuff them into a bag or pocket without wrecking them. And you're more likely to be mistaken for a fisherman or tourist than an MRA.

The only legit Burzum I own someone else gave me for my birthday some 14 years ago. Same person also got me my first Godspeed You! Black Emperor record at the same time so they managed to combine they reasonably far left & very far right in one gift. Everything else by Varg is primo :filez: material.

The people I look sideways at are the cunts who buy Burzum merch and actually wear it, but there's a 50/50 chance they are just trying to be shocking, like the goths who used to hang outside the Eastgate Centre in their Cradle of Filth shirts.

This is a good call, between a boonie hat and a beanie you're covered for most weather situations, mine has gone through some fairly heavy rain without letting water through and it cost a few quid and spends most of its time folded up in a bag with my other hiking gear.

Sabaton music often shits on the nazis but nazis still love their music and often misinterprets songs to be pro WW2 Germany.

Like thinking that the song "Panzer Battalion" is glorification of nazi tanks because "Panzer"

That'd be a good section on the Metal Archives database. Just below the themes entry. Are they fash?

Of course that'd enrage the community so probably the most you get is they do it on April 1.

Don't know if this makes a difference since corbs is so unpopular anyway. It's hard to see the public being happy with much a Corbyn interim could get up to. I think it would require Tory support too, and he's kryptonite to them. It's looking like no deal, though maybe book or the EU will saw fuckit and make some small concession at the very end when there really is nothing to loose and a technically-not-no-deal flag they could be waving at critics

I doubt the EU is going to wreck its standards legislation and do away with the Backstop just to appease a country whose PM says pork pies do well in thailand and which is likely about to underpay them £30bil of future pension liabilities.

Labour passing a withdrawal deal and taking us out of the EU with that will basically never happen, and you’re better off abandoning hope for it now.

Another argument is the "it's too engrained/it'd be too much hard work." Which isn't true at all, the most British way to scrap the monarchy would just to remove the monarch, pass an Act of Parliament saying s/Crown/People on all previous law, and keep everything else the same, with the head of state being the Lord President of the Council.

I mean we have literally done it before, with a fairly permanent 'remove the monarch' to boot (:thermidor:) so constitutionally it can't be that hard. Restore the Commonwealth, says I!

Oh I get that we're going to no deal and it'll probably be the lib dems fault, it's just that that's fairly disasterous while my suggestion basically gets over the line into 'good thing' while nothing else does.

Jose posted:

The point where we could ever stop talking about Brexit was 2015 - it is part of the political landscape until the collapse of the UK or the EU. The more you get caught up in wishing it hasn't happened and even just holding a strong opinion about how it should have gone then the progressively more out of touch with ongoing reality you'll become.

The role and scope of the state was a bit different back then though, and it was fairly common for an incoming monarch to just go 'lol' and blanket repeal every Act of their predecessor.

Could you imagine if Charles repealed every law since 1952 as his first Act?

And even then Cromwell didn't really replace the Crown in concept, he just Lord Protected it.

Didn't he do a big speech about how Brexit will save the UK from the nazi EU too? There's a lot of old rockers who are dangerously out of touch and buy into bullshit far too easily.

The most politically correct band is still Anaal Nathrakh since their main position is People = Cunts but especially modern news media, nazis, capitalism, and organised religion.

Uh. I don't know about that. 1660 a bit of an exception obvs.

We were a Republic before we were a Protectorate, from 1649 to 1653. No gods no masters.
