Pistol_Pete posted:It seems more like some bizarre death wish to me. It really reminds me of the crowds in 1914 rapturously cheering the beginning of WW1 and eagerly lining up at the recruiting offices for the Western Front meatgrinder. Because back then people believed in government and that the war was bejng fought for everyones interest. Nowadays theres too much information out there

Namtab posted:I don't think boris gets to ask the queen to say no to something thats passed parliament. Shes certainly not going to get drawn into a constitutional crisis trying. She only agreed to prorogue parliament because that is a thing she can do, and while its immoral for boris to tine it like this he is within his rights to do so. If I remember right, the wording of the law is that the Prime Minister does the asking. And people were saying that royal assent is based on the prime minister's advice like prorogation is, so there has been talk of Boris getting the queen to refuse it. Hopefully this isn't true, but I'm a bit worried.

Earlier in the week there was a whole thing about tories in the lords filibustering the bill, and some mention that the deal was they'd stop if labour agreed to bojos election. What happened there? Presumably they caved but why?

I asked because native German speakers (including me-ish, 3 years ago) say the same thing, they can read it a bit but it looks weird (listening is a whole other thing, as we've established). Also I have learned, if congratulated on how fast you've learned Dutch, take the compliment and bask in appearing like a super-Brit. Because otherwise it goes like this: "Oh well, it was easier because I already spoke German" Dutch person: "Why would that help  "

I think the real reason might have been it was past 1AM and the tory lords are all a million years old and needed their beds.

I knew German from living in Germany for a few years, and I learned Norwegian (to about GCSE level) and I found Dutch comprehensible - I think of it like German with a Norwegian pronunciation. I was proud of myself - first time I went to Norway and tried my Norwegian, Norwegians would answer me in English straight away. Second time I went, they would look at me quizzically and say "Er du dansk?" The hotel even put all the 'in room on the tv' messages for me in Danish til my Norwegian friend rang up and told them I was English. He also said the fact that people thought I was Danish showed how poo poo my accent was. I said you can't believe how wonderful it is for people not to immediately think you're English when trying out a foreign language.

Haha, that's hilarious. Totally agree on the not seeming English thing. Very similar, when I moved over here, a guy who I'd worked with before, who knew me as the British guy, heard me speaking Dutch and literally burst out laughing, saying "hahaha you sound like a German!!"

The brexiters thought the other side wasn't willing to sit thought 50+ hours of debates, motions, and votes. However it soon became apparent the anti-no deal lords were more than willing to put up the fight and the Tories blinked first. My feeling is due to Dom having another classic up his sleeve.

The John Mann decision was from months back. He was one of Theresa May's last appointments before Johnson came in (she also appointed an islamophobia advisor, which was widely believed to be a jab at her successor).
