Iran is more supportive of trans rights, but other than that it's a reasonable comparison. Our government just worships money instead of Allah and murders people for being poor instead of doing crimes.
We do share being the only two countries in the world that appoint hierophants of the state religion to the upper house without question.

I'd have thought the Tories would have been keen to celebrate that similarity. :thunk:

e: Angel Number 429 is a message that the angels are fully supporting and guiding you along the steps of your life path and soul journey. You have been determined and diligent in your daily actions and lightworking duties, and have listened to the guidance from the angels. Then again so were Peter Sutcliffe and Tony Blair so maybe don't.

The NIP are talking a good game, and if they want to frame that in terms of Northern independence then that's fine by me.

we mainly pretend other regimes are worse coz killing thousands abroad is acceptable but killing people at home is barbaric. iran is very obviously less aggressive and violent than britain is towards other countries.
and naturally we can't count deaths from austerity or incompetence as killing people at home

Depends on the flag surely?

Large Ghana or Jamaica flag is unlikely racist. Large Soviet flag probably has some weird views about how race is a distraction from the class revolution but probably won't say the bad words. Large England flag def sus.

I don't know about that, but she may find herself living in a Kensington condo. And she may bank her money in another part of the world. And she definitely finds herself behind the wheel of a large automobile.

I have a huge high quality England flag which was passed down from my dad. It's been around the world (went to Spain for the '82 World Cup and nowhere else), it smells of fag ash and it's so big I couldn't even hang it out for football tournaments in case it caught the wind and pulled off the front of the house.

I will be giving it to my children along with my Egypt flag which I'm fairly sure was stolen off a government building (I asked the guy in the shop if he had a flag, he ran out and came back 5 minutes later out of breath with a hand stitched woolen flag rather than the normal ones made out of thin creased linen)

I haven't read or seen it but Mortal Engines sounds like the ideal scenario.

while the idea of giant city-vehicles driving around the blasted wasteland of England is a fun one from a distance, the one book I've read was mainly about the horrific Victorian-esque class division with the poor living down below in the guts of the thing and being made to work on the engines and risk getting maimed or killed while the rich swan about in the hanging gardens of london on top, so, maybe less ideal and more slightly worse than what we already have.

TIL that outside London, the UK has a separate licensing regime for taxi / minicab drivers in every one of 290+ councils, which is insane, but it doesn’t matter because all the drivers and taxi companies are registered in Wolverhampton or Lewes anyway and there’s nothing any other council can do about it.

And this will never change because it’s not London so will never get any parliamentary time.

Oh and except for Southampton?? Which has its own special licensing regime that’s different from the rest of the country for Reasons.

All this for a country with a population slightly less than that of Hunan province.

Anyway yeah it seemed to have started as a joke but they're currently fundraising to set up as a party and plan to stand local candidates for the next council elections. If their attention continues to grow I suspect they might go for constituencies as well.

It's been absolutely crazy, we've had more volunteers than we can handle and the press interest has been great. A lot of us aren't hardcore veteran campaigners so we weren't sure what to expect and I think we've been pleasantly surprised. Lots of positive contacts with other groups too, we're friendly with Welsh groups and had some informal advice from Scottish indy people.
