I used my bank holiday to fit a new cooker cable and main earth to the outside of the house, because the old one was falling to bits and I ordered all the stuff the week before last in anticipation of a cloudy lovely late August.

I'm going to need a cite on this one, mate. Note that repealing specifically laws on religion != abolishing all laws passed during someone's reign.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/First_Statute_of_Repeal

'The First Statute of Repeal was an Act of the Parliament of England (1 Mary, st. 2, c. 2), passed in 1553 in the first Parliament of Mary I of England's reign, nullified all religious legislation passed under the previous monarch'

1660 was an exception because the Republic was specifically viewed as illegitimate by Charles II (big surprise). That isn't true elsewhere in history. I think we can deal without whatever changes have recently been made to the governance of the Church of England, no?
The Treason Act 1547 made in the first year of Ed. VI had the effect of overturning every new felony created by Henry VIII, that was a deliberate decision.

Mary's repeals were religious, but that covered everything from blasphemy to buggery to other social issues not beginning with B, it wasn't just about the height of bishop's hats.

New king, who dis, and throwing out a whole bunch of the past monarch's laws was popular around then, and by comparison Cameron and Clegg's supposed Great Repeal of Gordon Brown's supposed legislative diarrhoea was a damp shart.

I really can't see Charles (or George VII or whatever he calls himself) nullifying all felonies created since 1952 in the same way, because the function of the Crown is just a continuity corporation now. Although I'll piss myself laughing if he accidentally annuls all the drug and terror Acts. I'll need to drink more water first though.

e; In 2008 the Lib Dems accuse New Labour of creating 3,600 new ways for ordinary people to be criminals and vow to repeal them if elected. However, in exchange for a 5p tax on plastic bags...

Why didn't you stop Brexit Jeremy? Because you're the guy who is leading us down a dark road, to be honest. It's not fair. That was a pretty loving good idea that we just didn't seem to understand. I had forgotten the concept of being a progressive when I started, and I feel sorry for a lot of people who are being told they're voting to be left behind, they didn't even realise it was a new thing to say. Did Brexit scare you? Did you feel that Britain was on the precipice of a revolution? [Laughs] My girlfriend really did, at that time. For us that feeling was more akin to something that could happen in another kind of time. Brexit brought a lot of the people who had supported you in your political career to the fore. As a political party, have you felt that as a result of your anti-austerity stance and your general anti-establishment reputation? It's not just about Brexit: there's a lot of other things that have happened recently... I think the whole financial crisis in 2008 – which caused the real estate boom in the United States, as well as the housing bust in the UK.

And that's why we now live in a Mad Max style wasteland.

All history heretofore has been the history of class struggle, as well as of power and capital at least. In this context, if the class struggle is to be brought to an end, we need to find a way in that revolution to end the war, rather than fight it for the sake of it, especially if that war means the death of a great number of people. We must come to understand that the war in Vietnam and the US invasion of Iraq were part of the same historical and political epoch, that the collapse of communist centralism and the liberation struggles that followed led to the rise of the imperialist right-wing, that the defeat of those movements meant the fall of communist communist governments, and so on it

My debut article for Spiked Online:

The elite experts would have you believe that stapling your dick to your balls is a bad idea, but not the average person. They don't want to pay an extra 5 cents to have an STD. And there's very little they'll say that you'll think "Yeah, that's actually a good idea. There's no need to try it. I like what I'm doing." Even if you do try to "try it the wrong way", chances are you'll fail (or at least experience some sort of bodily damage in the process). What exactly are these "rules" that you need to adhere to as a man in order to be a decent man? Is the penis some sort of "law"?

Brexit is imperative to defeat neoliberalism. This is what the right and the left must agree on: First, the referendum campaign, in this form, must have an unequivocal message. That the British people voted to leave the European Union. That this means a new political and economic order, in which everyone, including the oligarchy, share the benefits. The European Convention on Human Rights is urgently needed for the British people's wellbeing – a protection to safeguard their human rights. In other words, the Brexit referendum must be a referendum on the current state of British democracy, its constitution, and its future in Europe. Read more:

Lobsters carve out mini empires on the ocean floor around the world. The crust is tough but the hard-edged rocks create the "breathing space" that allows lobsters to move their food around. We think of women as housewives and hunters, but most of the seafood in the ocean is eaten by other animals, from marine turtles to fish. So now it's time for the first time that anyone has thought about this idea of women being at the center of a society. We're talking about a woman's role in human society. It's the same situation as a man's in traditional societies, except that women are not king or emperor.

Great news that our Prime Minister has singled out Melton Mowbray pork pies as a target for inclusion in a trade deal with the US. This is good news for our pork pie and pork pie fans alike. The good news was that the Government is now looking for a way to sell pork pies – and to have the pigs in pies. And not just a bit of sauce. Pies are currently produced in the US and can be sold in about 100 countries worldwide! So how will we feed our pigs? Well it turns out we can get them to eat bacon, that is. We get them in the form of a "beans" sandwich that contains five to 10% pork, which are then sesame milk, cumin, and turmeric.

What has happened to sensible politics? There are no better examples of this than in the Labour Party. This doesn't mean that any of my comrades are left-wing fascists. I don't believe that is the case. The left has nothing in common with the right at all: there's barely even any commonality in any of the three most extreme anti-democratic tendencies – and certainly nothing to do with the most extreme anti-democratic elements within the Labour Party. All of the political positions that are on show are absolutely ridiculous and ludicrous. It's a question of how far-fetched are people's ideas of what fascism is.

Ed. VI's Treason Act seems to imply that every single felony signed off by Henry VIII was removed entirely, that sounds far more broad than just removing some criminal laws, was that not the case?

feedmegin posted:

The Catholic ones tended to remove them entirely and leave them as a matter for the Ecclesiastical Courts. You're right that from the view of the target of those laws the biggest change was the hat of the person condemning them, and what type of person was likely to be condemned, but it's still a ping pong of repealing chunks of the last monarch's legislation only for the next monarch to reenact it.

I guess the reason why there's so many different Treason Acts over the era is that the one thing that a monarch really doesn't want is people saying the specific way that you came to power is illegitimate.
