You are 100% correct about the snoozing and the droning and the expensive care home.

But yes, that was why I thought it was interesting, just the small scale examples of rewriting history to omit inconvenient elements, extremely emblematic of how libs work and basically the guardian's raisin d entire.

kuleshov or sergei eisenstein? who i only know about because in some tom clancy book one of the American heroes figures out that Russia is planning to attack the West because they remastered the audio to one of his films.

I failed the first aid test at school. That dratted dummy would NOT resuscitate.
That was the first time in my life that my name appeared top of a FAILED list.
Most humiliating. A good lesson in learning humility!

The next thing I failed was the Duke of Edinburgh bronze award. Our group got hopelessly lost in the forest in the Saarland and everyone else was sitting in the WD buses waiting for us for hours until the grown ups came and found us. (Ed: long long before smart phones with GPS or drones and stuff.)

Added for very sideways related reasons (and because I just happened to be listening to it).

Most right-wing canards have a fairly obvious psychosexual element but the fishing stuff baffles me, it was legit a local livelihood issue in a few constituencies but Debenhams just laid off more British people, as GDP stats but also just numbers of previously-able-to-earn-a-living-wage-people, than the EU hosed over on fisheries, but there's been nary a peep from the establishment brexit crowd about that.

Literally the only consistently illuminating frame to understand right-wing conservatism by is psychosexual poo poo, the fisheries stuff always had a weak economic populist edge but this is just loving bizarre, the Daily Mail does realise Navy staff get paid right? And it costs money to do operations? We're gonna send out loving gunboats full of people to preserve what exactly? There is clearly a sex thing happening here, the waters are a fertile channel we must protect from foreign invaders or something, it's completely illogical otherwise.

e: ^^ If you want to do it as psychosexual then they're still stuck in Freud's oral stage. We need food. Fish is food. Fish comes from water. Control our fish water. They've not yet got to the bit where we export most of that poo poo to Europe in exchange for the fish people eat, or that fish doesn't keep well.

Yep, this will work out well. Cod War 1 was against a country with literally no armed forces. This time France alone has a bigger navy than us, with nukes, and if you add in the rest of the EU, it's something like a 4:1 advantage (Spain has almost as many ships as the RN - and what's that, Skippy? They've been itching for an excuse to blockade Gibraltar?) I hope this is just the usual-suspect tabloids spouting chest-beating horseshit, because getting into a fight with our allies over fish - most of which we sell to the EU! - would complete this stupid country's spiral down the toilet.

The RN's decently sized detachment of armed minesweepers are mostly plastic hulled I think, so certainly it would be interesting to watch them try to ram anything, we could increase the number of british built ships sunk in ill advised ramming maneuvers in recent history above 1.

Rather like how the 'cost saving' announced a few days ago of not sending Prince of Wales to America was actually because they're still fixing the leak and were never going to send it anyway, the 'four gunboats' (not gunboats and actually two at sea and two on standby) is just the usual strength of the RN Fishery Protection Squadron as it has been for decades.

So two lightly-armed patrol ships and a helicopter to cover all of the UK's territorial waters and...do what exactly? Supposing they actually come across an errant fishing vessel in the thousands of square miles of sea that they're not in at any given moment.

Shoot French trawlermen like some reverse Dogger Bank Incident? Jack really doesn't join up to shoot heavy machine guns at unarmed civilians, even if the press will go mental about these unmet incursions into Are Waters and how the RN is full of woke SJW snowflakes with their 'law of armed combat' and 'proportional response'.

'Gunboats' FFS. It's pure colonial nostalgia wank.

Holy poo poo, that's a great start. The bail and 3 strikes things are good, but the focus on letting off nonviolent offenders also incentivises criminals to try their damnedest not to get the public involved, which increases safety all round.

If he actually has the authority to do all of those things, that's pretty good and not just because it bloodies the nose of the private prison industry.
