Hard agree. I spent a large part of my late teens/early 20s sloping around the states by greyhound and practically lived off the stuff.

The fact so many people thought socdem lite Corbyn was SOCIALISMS!!! really should tell you everything you need to know about the general state of public understanding of politics i.e. it's absolute poo poo

I mean seriously the answer is "read about socialism on wikipedia", not even telling people to read Das Kapital but I swear they all just snort at me like I'm telling them to get a degree

I remember telling several people here in Ireland that our neoliberal hell is in my ways more socialist than Labour's manifesto.

Swaran Singh only wrote one article for Spiked. It's a 'poo poo's complicated' piece about Kashmir drawing on his own experiences as a Kashmiri Sikh. So, not great, but could be a lot worse.

If we're playing that lovely game, wouldn't the 'oldest hatred that has killed millions of people' be that between nomadic and sessile groups, predating antisemitism by a few millennia.

Good thing there's no tories up to that.

And the mercy seat is awaiting,
And I think my head is burning,
And in a way I'm yearning,
To be done with all this measuring of proof.
An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth,
And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.

Many in wealthy city sanctums are now so disconnected from their sources of food, wealth and energy that they are voting against them or seeking to ban them.
I'm divided between trying to parse this as "we can ban rural tories?" and "isn't the sources of food, wealth and energy in those cities 'the EU'?" but it's obviously a pro-coal thing which shows how much attention they've been paying over the past decades they're projecting.

I know both and I can suggest Bermondsey 'beer mile' is worth a look into as there is about 30 microbrewery type places along the railway arches and they (some) have Flying Duck vibes and some do food (some not so much). Start at Doodle Bar and work your way along! :)

(they don't just have beer there is wine and gin places too, also a great Mexican taco place)

Also don't try and pay in cash at any of them unless you want to look like some kind of primitive fool

I don't know if any of you guys happen to know both Glasgow and London, but on the off chance: I've been really struggling to find any bars with a kind of Flying Duck/CCA quiet hipster-but-not-too-aloof-or-expensive dive bar vibe down here, most drinking establishments seem to be either very traditional (and often touristy) pub pubs or uber-fancy cocktail places with very little in between, and all are absolutely rammed on a friday/saturday. It seems pretty impossible that such places don't exist but the city is too big to just wander about hoping to stumble into one. Any advice welcome, getting sick of Spoons whenever my partner visits!

Try The Lost Hour in Greenwich. And, as mentioned, the Bermondsey beer mile.

I think this is it... I think this is how it ends

See, I can get behind the theory of whipping for A50 if you're doing it to prove that leaving the EU was not only incredibly difficult but also a really bad idea, which this shitshow of the last two years has shown. It's just a shame that a vast majority of the voters of this country have seen what's actually been going on as some sort of sham, and demanded that they press on regardless

See, I might be okay with voting for a more centrist leader if they were happy to not try to kill off the left of the party but as it stands now I don't really trust any of them to do that.
