Also racist left-hand-driving rainy island-dwellers with a state religion with their monarch at the head, an extremely dodgy imperial past and an absolute shitload of weird sex stuff about a millimetre under the surface.. I'm not sure why these things go together but apparently they do.

I wonder which Japanese person it was that first put the pieces together: "Wait a minute, this pissy little island off the coast of Europe somehow controls half the world with nothing more than failsons, flags, and massive brutality... but we've got bigger islands and more failsons..." and then sprinted to the flagmakers stopping only to put in an order for 18" naval guns.

I don't see the overlap between craving annihilation of the British isles, and encouraging everyone to vote for the party that will save the most lives. I am very conscious that cspam has what I will describe as Complex Brains though

13 hrs till I can vote for a socialist though so that's good

You See it is This kind of Music which has brought Rot into Our Citizens and Especially our Youth's mind. It Is Self destruction, alright – as soon as the Borders Were Opened! I am over 70 Years of Age and I have Never Been On the Dole. I recall in 1975 that At least back then you could walk home Late at Night without getting beaten (or worse). When You could sit in a pub that Had More than SIMPLY one drunken generation fighting and marauding all over the Place. When Sharia grooming gangs weren’t pulling Youths off the street. When you could still live on An Estate with People who had PRIDE in their houses, even though they belonged to the Council. When you could go to School and come out with a Decent Education even though you didn’t live in the best part of the country. When the Youth actually played out, Developed their Bones, Muscles and Friendships instead of sat on their Arses 12 hours a day, isolating themselves playing Video Games then having to see a psychiatrist to unscramble their Brains. When you could go for a day’s shopping in London without someone on a moped snatching your handbag. When the Shops in the High Street didn’t look like 3rd world Flogging off all kinds of ethnic crap. When every Other Town Centre shop wasn’t a takeaway chicken joint fronting up Nefarious Activities. When you could ride the Tube without getting robbed blind by someone dodgy. When there were no ‘beds in sheds’ wrecking the London suburbs. When kids could go to a concert without getting off their heads on drugs. When people could have a Proper British political discussion without all the hate…

Which Does Remind me of my Childhood in the 1960s as I am 70 Years of Age and have Never been on The Dole , the British record industry, Dominated by just four companies, PRICE-FIXED – a fact they brazenly TRUMPETED, in print around the edges of their labels.

Thus ALL singles cost six shillings and eightpence – which is thirty-three pence, in new money. To adjust for inflation, add a zero and then nearly double – which the mathematically-minded will protest only makes FIVE pounds. Use the same formula for albums; thirty-three shillings and sixpence a pop – now one pound, sixty-seven pence – which was over three-quarters of a day’s pay then – and which translates to over sixty pounds now. This May Confuse Current generation of Young Britishers as this was Pre-Decimilisation. Allow your Elder to Educate:

12 pennies = 1 shilling
20 shillings = £1
240 pennies = £1

but also Let Us Consider:

Before we consider the pre-decimal coins individually, let’s look at the names of the coins and their values.

Farthing = ¼ d
Half penny = ½ d
Penny = 1d
Threepence = 3d
Sixpence = 6d
Shilling = 1/-
Florin = 2/-
Half Crown = 2/6
Crown = 5/-

Through the Death of British Culture we Have LOST our Coinage Identity as EVIDENCED:

Although groats (worth 4d) were demonetised in Britane in 1855, it Was As Different coins were invented by previous British monarchs but many didn’t survive their reigns. See here, Despite nearly 50 years of decimalisation, the coins haven’t been given Proper British Nicknames like previous pre-decimal coins.

Alternative forms of payment nowadays mean we don’t develop the same relationship with coins as people in the past who were paid in cash.

Then there are TVs. In 1960, they were made in Britain, hand-wired, one component at a time – and cost FIFTY pounds for a basic nineteen-inch model – which was over a MONTH’S WAGES. And a twenty-three-inch cabinet model cost twice THAT. Most people RENTED, before that, many people rented RADIOS.
