Necrothatcher posted:The latest Marina Hyde about Boris links to one of his Spectator articles and uh... On another occasion, Boris got away with it and got his upgrade, but forgot to return to his children when the plane landed. This is why he refuses to answer questions about how many children he has. He still doesn't know where they are, or even whether they are still alive. He searched mightily, but gave up after five minutes when he saw an exotic stewardess and tried to follow her until he was tackled by security. He cracked a few racist jokes about the security guards, and was then rescued by his personal assistant. All's well that ends well.

E: Yes, yes it is. quote:It is the most disgusting thing any democratic government can do: to find an issue of culture or conscience that divides society, and to play it up, in the hope of exciting the prejudices of your core constituency. Hitler did it. The BJP does it. Labour does it, of course, with fox-hunting. quote:Looking at the diverse wedding crowd, and thinking of this planet’s multicultural future, I have been brooding about carrots. It is a fact that the British carrot used to be white. It was a pale, delicate, Anglo-Saxon root. As anyone who has eaten Indian carrot halva will know, Indian carrots are red, the colour of blood oranges. It probably follows that at some stage the dark red carrots of the subcontinent cross-fertilised with our indigenous carrots, to produce the modern orange cross. Yes, folks, the next time you chomp on a carrot, reflect that it is a half-caste. It is the result of rampant miscegenation. Look at the modern British carrot, and you behold the future of the human race. Bardeh fucked around with this message at 16:23 on Nov 18, 2019 |

So I'm in the absurd position of pretending to work when there isn't even any. Do your research first, and buy an entry-level one from a reputable brand. The cheapest ones are all poo poo, and a lot of the gimmicky looking ones with cartoon characters or whatever are also poo poo. Get a soprano ukulele to start with, because it's the smallest and cheapest of the standard sizes. It's the size that everyone is used to seeing. Soprano refers purely to its size, because it is tuned the same way as the other sizes (except the largest, the baritone ukulele). It's basically a miniature nylon guitar

With all the policies that have been announced I really want Labour to win this time, even if they would have to water them down for lib dems. I'd take a minority conservative government as well. Just please not a con majority, that would be absolutely terrifying with the fuckers that are on the front bench right now. There's a part of me that thinks "how much worse could it be" but then I look at Trump in the US and, well, yeah.

Hello thread! A few days ago I asked for some more info in regards to a friend (born in 1990) saying that Corbyn would to take us back to the 1970s, a typical gammon outcry sadly. I've been reading up on the 70s to try and understand it and this is what I've got; Early in the decade during the Heath Tory government, we were having coal power issues as we were still heavily reliant on coal for energy back then, and unfortunately supply was failing to meet demand. Nationalised Miners were being forced to work longer hours, in more dangerous conditions to increase supply, in a system that had reduced resources stemming from the Tories. There were blackouts regularly as the supply/demand line was crossed. Heath brought in the three day working week as a way to reduce the demand, basically meaning commercial properties would only be allocated energy for 3 days of a working week. Obviously, the economy suffered massively from this and employment began to rise sharply. The Miners went on strike ✊✊✊ due to pay demands not being met, and concerns about their wellbeing under the increased workload and more dangerous mining. Heath said no. In 1974 there were two elections, the first resulting in the minority Wilson Labour government (Libs were still moaning fucks back then), they immediately increased Miners pay and improved conditions, the strikes wound down. The second election won Labour a slim majority. The weak Labour govenrment made some strides, like the 1975 referendum on joining the European common market, Labour had no official position but most of the cabinet supported joining it. The economy stabilised somewhat, but Labour largely failed to reduce unemployment, instead it floated around 5-6%. The 1979 election aka The Witch Rises was won by the Tories, largely attacking Labour on their failures to control unemployment. Thatcher almost immediately destroyed most of the nationalised basic utilities, plunging the country into a spiral.and resulting in unemployment doubling. But everyone instantly forgot how poo poo the Tories were when are boys went to war. ------ My understanding could be completely wrong so feel free to point out any mistakes But to me the argument that Corbyn wants to take us back to the 70's is obviously the usual bullshit. Comparing a business wide forced 3-day-working week, to a 4-day staff working week is shite, especially when the latter shows increased overall productivity. Comparing blackouts to green energy? Fart noise. tl;dr tories are unts

Now they have made up their minds. The BJP is a bad thing. ‘First they go for the Muslims, next they could go for us,’ is the line. It is the most disgusting thing any democratic government can do: to find an issue of culture or conscience that divides society, and to play it up, in the hope of exciting the prejudices of your core constituency. Hitler did it. The BJP does it. Labour does it, of course, with fox-hunting.

Tory history: WW1 happened, which we won because are boys are brave then Hitler popped up from nowhere and we had to fight him in WW2, which was when Churchill personally defeated him then Churchill made the NHS and things were great until Labour hosed everything up in the 1970s and St. Maggie descended from heaven to save our country from communism and poofs then Tony Blair and Gordon Brown did the financial crisis and iraq all by themselves until Cameron descended from heaven to save our country from the dying economy and later Europe

I assume there's someone at Labour or Momentum trawling through these Spectator columns for examples of Boris being a racist piece of poo poo... but would it be worth us doing something as well? If people take a year of columns each we should get through them fairly quickly. look, here he is being a creeper: quote:"Victoria Beckham is minute. She was standing in a circle of gofers and parents and children, and sort of glaring at the world. Her eyes were invisible behind enormous Dior shades, but her lips were thrust out in her trademark snarl, like some rainforest chief. She was wearing a furry waistcoat and odd, low-slung baggy trousers, but the most interesting thing was her bottom. It was either the top of her bottom or the bottom of her back. It was plainly visible, and appeared to be tattooed with some inscription or device. I scrambled after her up the stairs to the ski lift, in an undignified attempt to read the message. What was it? ‘Open other end’? ‘If you can read this, you are too close’? It turned out to be four stars, signifying, apparently, the birth of her two children."
