PowerBeard posted:Recently Sinn Féin saw a massive increase in support in the General Election, from both the disenfranchised young and the old bitter people. Plus I'm sure I'm not doing a libel when I say that some prominent members of Sinn Féin had connections to the IRA and it was just. Gerry Adams. Plus, there has been a surge in gangland murders in the Republic, so that may show a willingness for young people to start poo poo for fun. Don't do this. Sinn Fein gaining in Ireland doesn't show a willingness for a return to violence, loving hell.

I was a beater on a shoot once. It was miserable, I was constantly worried about getting shot and it was depressing seeing so many ducks and pheasants getting killed. I thought it was something I should do as I eat meat and think you should be willing to participate in the killing if you're going to eat it, and at least all those birds were free range rather than being packed into a factory. I don't eat too much meat nowadays but try to be considerate as to where it has come from.

Julio Cruz posted:a friend of mine works in IT for a multinational bank and they have contractors there who "live" in Spain during the weekends and in a Travelodge during the week When I got a job a few years back part of the deal was they would put me up in some accommodation for I think a month until I found somewhere to live. It turned out the accommodation was in a Travelodge on a dual carriageway with nothing else there except a BP garage, which did at least have a M&S in it. A Bad Experience. The Alan Partridge Travel Tavern experience genuinely nearly broke me.

happyhippy posted:2. Yes. The Good Friday Agreement signed to have peace in NI has a provision in it that the NI/Republic border has no border check points. A 'hard' border. These were manned by the British army and acted as both customs and terrorism related searches. I hate to be the pedant here but this seems to come up a lot but the GFA does not mention anything about customs controls mainly because by the time it was signed all customs controls had already been abolished, the agreement mentions the removal of "security installations" still in place which was very much understood to mean the remaining British military posts dotted around the border (which where eventually all decommissioned). The GFA doesn't bother talking about customs controls or free movement of goods because that was sorted out with the whole single market thing so there was no point including it in the discussions as it was a moot point. Though customs controls don't necessarily violate the text of the agreement the argument is that they violate the spirit by pulling back current freedoms to a pre agreement era thus undermining the foundations upon which the agreement was made. (As a side note there have been border checks put in place temporarily post-GFA as I'm sure anyone near the border remembers back during the Foot and Mouth outbreak when the Guards would stop you and search your boot to make sure you weren't carrying anything that could spread it)

Yeah it's pretty much this. No truck driver will accept jobs driving into the UK and potentially getting stuck for days, without income. I.e. a truck driver in Belgium won't take a job driving tomatoes into the UK, since they're not sure how many days the trip will take if they're stuck in a mess trying to get papers to get out, even if the UK just waves everyone through from their side.

Conversely, Wat Tyler's lot were the only ones with the balls to actually march on London during the Peasants' Revolt, the Essex mob didn't bother until the Men of Kent opened the gates for them from the inside - of course all the gates were locked at the start of the trouble, but nobody seems to have put much thought into what happened if a few thousand tooled-up Medway boys just strolled across London Bridge like so many Millwall fans. (Incidentally have *any* fortifications anywhere in the world been as loving useless as the London Walls? I don't think they've successfully stopped anyone since the Romans first put them up - Boudicca, various Saxons, Peasants, Barons, the Bastard of Fauconburg, all just strolled right in whenever they felt like it. Charles II had the gates removed because London defied his dad, but that seems a bit churlish given that a) it wasn't actually the gates that stopped Big Charlie, it was 20,000 pre-Industrial ICF putting the shits up him before he even got into Zone 2, and b) at least two of the gates (Aldgate and Cripplegate) had jammed open at some point in the Medieval period and nobody had bothered to fix them)

As I'm talking about the City walls, their actual main purpose was to allow internal customs and excise to be levied on goods going into London - Goodman's Yard, just near Aldgate, was basically a Medieval Project Stack, with food deliveries waiting up to three weeks to pass through. You have to assume that this is why we ended up eating poo poo like jellied eels and pickles - anything fresh, even if it survived a week on a cart from Anglia, would have been loving compost by the time it actually got to your table.
