Munin posted:[edit] What is the status of "fair use" or equivalent in the UK these days anyway? Then there was an effort in the 2010s to formalize it in statute, allowing parody, CD rips, and other stuff that everyone was doing anyway, along with proper guidelines around academic/critical fair use. Then half of that fell to pieces for reasons that I'm not fully sure, mostly leaving just the academic stuff.

It's entirely understandable, because I pretty much used entire tracks start to finish. Zombies by the Cranberries still hasn't been flagged though.

It's fair to say that Cheney was the actual power behind the throne though, he'd been pushing the unitary executive stuff for decades. Bush's rehabilitation in our stupid age is sort of a separate thing.

Polls are unimportant right now to what party is in power, bad %s will mean the end of Cummings and Johnson but not the Tories. Only an active competitive force will end their parties rule.

Hey UK goons. This has probably been asked countless times before, but can someone give me a quick run down on what happens if Boris and his crew don't manage to fix up any sort of central Brexit agreement with the EU by the end of the year? As far as I am aware, this is quite likely. I was talking with a friend and she assumed, that a lot of points were settled and that the default of a no deal Brexit would be a Schengen situation. But as far as I know, there will only really be a deal if the central points, e.g. the inner Irish border and the adherence to EU norms, are settled. So as far as I know right now, a no deal Brexit would set the UK back to the level of say Morocco i.e. just an independent state which is somewhat in the vicinity. Am I correct about it? We both know no deal Brexit will be an absolute poo poo show, but sort of disagreed on the extend of it. Basically, what will happen, if literally nothing is done on that front from now till January? cant cook creole bream fucked around with this message at 23:56 on May 26, 2020 |

People like Galloway are pretty representative of a particular strand of old school authoritarian left-conservatism though, in that he'd shoot all the fascists and capitalists but also thinks transgender people are mentally ill and backs any awful despot who spins themselves as 'anti-imperialist'. It's quite impressive how they manage to be so right on 50% of issues and so completely loving terribly wrong on the other 50%. It's doubly frustrating because often these people are the only ones consciously situating themselves in a top-left position in modern discourse, which leads to that whole tradition being dismissed as inherently reactionary and hostile to progressive issues, which it really isn't. I don't have any particular beef with anarchists and I think they're mostly good people, but it's not good that the libertarian left is now seen as the de facto Correct/default 'left' position (in the West at least), when there should be more of a good-faith dialogue there. When it comes down to it, the only inherent difference between authcoms and ancoms is their attitude towards power, which is purely a strategic issue.

So my understanding was correct? If nothing new happens, the relationship between the EU and the UK will be as interwoven as the one between the EU and Mongolia? I was fairly certain that the UK was never part of Schengen, but couldn't argue how that works.
