The small museum is an affecting cornucopia of mining memorabilia: there are banners of course, but also detonators, cables and a trophy awarded at the Spennymoor gala pit pony competition in 1956.  and  at once.

https://www.timesofisrael.com/uks-corbyn-politician-of-choice-for-anti-semites-claims-report/ Gotta love this poo poo, the "Campaign Against Anti-Semitism" has a "study" (which they conveniently started when Corbyn became party leader) where they say that 60% of the far-left holds "one or more antisemitic view" which they stress is actually WORSE than the far right (Nazis you're off the hook). Well what do they consider to be these "antisemitic views?" quote:Among those who consider themselves to be “very left-wing,” 42% believe that Israel’s supporters in the UK are damaging British democracy. Sixty percent agreed that Israel “treats the Palestinians like the Nazis treated the Jews” and three in 10 disagreed that the Jewish state is “right to defend itself against those who want to destroy it.”

Braggart posted:Oh and military strategists have been jacking off over Hannibal's greatest victory for over 2,000 years and trying to recreate it themselves. The Schlieffen Plan was apparently based on Cannae but, like, WTF? How do you base a Europe-wide strategy on the tactics used in a single battle? Ms Adequate assures me that strategy and tactics are not the same thing Nah, the Schlieffen Plan was largely based on what had gone over quite well for the Prussian staff during the Franco-Prussian war. There are cosmetic similarities in that (as someone pointed out) pinning the enemy centre, outflanking them, kettling them, and then destroying them is like the platonic ideal of a military operation. But there is no philosophical or ideological link between the two any more than there is between Cannae and Desert Storm. And as you rightly point out, Cannae was a tactical affair, while Schlieffen's plans (there's more than one, none of which are the deployment plan actually exercised in 1914) revolve around how to position Germany's forces at a strategic level.

PittTheElder posted:Nah, the Schlieffen Plan was largely based on what had gone over quite well for the Prussian staff during the Franco-Prussian war. Haha sorry Braggart, I missed that post - yeah PittTheElder has it summed up here. It's not at all uncommon for a Western military leader to yearn for the "perfect Cannae", which is rightly or wrongly held up as the acme of military victories (Notwithstanding Sun Tzu's admonitions re: acme of victory), and someone may either express their desire for a plan of that quality or trying to sell a plan they have as being of that quality. Actually attempting a 'strategic Cannae' would be quite a thing. I suppose you could argue that things like the last German offensive around Kurks constituted such, but I'd argue even on that scale it was an operational-scale business rather than a strategic one.

There’s also a good piece on the French domestic fair trade movement, paying €4 more a year for milk on average per person was enough to go from poverty supplier settlements to allowing farmers to actually live. Nestle are getting involved though so it’ll get subverted soon.

Thank you both for the interesting posts  Ms Adequate's points are what I meant by "jacking off", and it seems like this vaguely remembered comparison between Cannae and the Schlieffen Plan was probably made by some jackoff who understood neither. I swear I've seen that take in the wild!  Warfare in the gunpowder age is very much not my area. As far as I'm concerned, guns ruined everything once they stopped being terrible. It's entirely a personal opinion, but I just find tactics far more interesting in the days before guns took the centre stage. I'm perfectly fine with plate armoured cavalry with miniature cannons bolted to themselves though, because that's hilarious And as for: Ms Adequate posted:which is rightly or wrongly held up as the acme of military victories (Notwithstanding Sun Tzu's admonitions re: acme of victory) Cum Tzu's acne of victory

Jel Shaker posted:Is that from when she won the last election? Nah, she held on for quite a while after that. The picture is from when she finally resigned and let Boris play with her toys. The elements of the Tory party who wanted her gone the most rolled the dice too early on an internal confidence motion, and the Tory party's own rules meant that she was immune from further attempts for a year. As a matter of fact, May's period of immunity is still not over - it continues until December 12, when Bozza's period of immunity will also end The party's bigwigs responded to this setback by whining to her husband to convince her to step down, and when that didn't work they threatened to do some more whining. They also mooted the idea of changing the rules because they hosed up, which you may also remember the Labour Right writing fanfiction about in a different context  Well done ERG, led by the extremely smart and capable Jacob Rees-Mogg

Keep in mind though that the Conservative voter base is quite literally dying off, and last time the Tories literally cannibalised nearly the entire UKIP voter base. They have nowhere else to go.

I see the thread is having a collective downer - which is understandable, the polls and the media are doing their job. They may be right, a Tory victory and five years of Boris may be inevenatable. But we're humans, humans have survived much worse than this and prospered. 5 more years of the tories will suck, and yes, more vunrable people will die, but its not a call to give up - it just means we have to fight harder - in five years there will be less boomers and more zoomers. people will be even sicker of the Tories. Thats if they even last five years. People were resigned to 5 years of tories in 2015, then again in 2017. Thing change. Plus this one is not over, the feel on the streets is for labour, so we can worry about the tories if they win.
