I really don't like the funeral dirge version of the red flag, the song itself is great but singing it to oh tannenbaum is just... why? Billy Bragg does it way better.

But I can't think what the other song is that uses it. The Internationale is something I keep wanting to break into at protests but in this city there woudln't be anyone who knew it.

It's oh christmas tree/tanenbaum. And it's dire. Also as far as songs to sing I like solidarity forever cos everyone knows the tune and the chrous is easy to pick up. Dump the bosses off your back is a fun one too, short.

radmonger posted:30% of GDP would not so much solve the problem as cause it to reverse in the scope of 4 years. I know you aren't exactly a third-worlder leftist making a well-articulated post, but 1% is really not that much? Again it's GDP, not wealth. In fact the amount of foreign aid currently given by the UK is 0.7% of GNI, very loving close to 1% of GDP. This is also the universal UN target for developed countries. And the world is largely not developed at all, unless "developed" means not in danger of dying from hunger or the elements. In which case it's still not all developed by any means.

If what's in it is correct, then it has some big ol' implications for what's possible and likely in future. also you can use it to wind up fans of 50s social democracy

Private Speech posted:I know you aren't exactly a third-worlder leftist making a well-articulated post, but 1% is really not that much? Again it's GDP, not wealth. The usual figure for the ratio of GDP to wealth is about 5. So 30% of GDP annually would transfer out all uk wealth within ~15 years. At which point you’d presumably have to ask for it to be transferred back as the UK would then be the world’s poorest country. Sanity check: 6 years of ~40% of GDP fighting WWII left the UK on rations and relying on basically charity from places like Malaysia. I guess congratulations are in order for finding a stupider policy than Brexit? In contrast, 1% is a plausible increase in the current 0.7%, and would meet any reasonable definitions of the UK’s responsibility. If the real wealth concentrations like the USA and China spent that much, few places would have the kind of desperate poverty that drives people into leaky boats for long.

Yes, 1% of GDP will meet any reasonable definition of the UK's historic responsibility for how hosed up the third world/middle east is. We barely touched it!

Rumour mill stuff but https://mobile.twitter.com/OGMurphy1/status/1171360184817639430 Operation yellowhammer was apparently named at random but still after the little yellow songbird. One of the first books I remember reading was the ladybird book of birds. It sticks in my memory that the call of the yellowhammer, transcribed into English is "a little bit of bread and no cheese". They absolutely know how hosed the country is going to be under NDB
