it is true that american 'swiss' cheese is always awful but that doesn't stop it from being another common variety in addition to the kraft singles

edit: and lol @ brits finding a food they don't like. no nation has 'English Food' on the menu, chums, and for good reason. your poo-pooing of american cheese is projection

Corgis love bread. And Puro



Stuff like this makes me realise how much I know about the original Scottish parliament. And what I do know I only found out in the last month, like at dissolution there were 2 major parties, The Court Party and Squadrone Volante, that it was unicameral, and based on the three estates. Not even how prickly it could be, refusing to raise taxes to ransom one of the Kings for example.

quote:

A fish auction in Hanstholm on Denmark’s west coast has so far this year sold 525 tonnes of fish from Scottish fishing vessels, more than double compared to the same period last year.

“We’ve had an awful lot of inquiries from Scottish fishermen about landing their catch in Hanstholm,” Jesper Kongsted, who heads the auction, told Reuters on Friday. “This is very good for our business.”

“Some are now making a 72-hour round trip to land fish in Denmark, as the only way to guarantee that their catch will make a fair price and actually find its way to market while still fresh enough to meet customer demands,” Macdonald said.

you can get pretty much any kind of cheese in the us, both imported or made domestically. it's not difficult or inordinately expensive. that said, there certainly are plenty of americans that consider kraft singles as the primary form of cheese. it's hosed up, but that's still pretty mild as far as cheese crimes go.

Northern Ireland should be part of the republic and if it takes a traumatic exposure to british mainland rule to get the unionist Irish to understand that then good.

tbh I don't think that's going to have a huge impact on any but the most uncommitted unionists, who have already been wavering since the Brexit vote. Unionism hasn't been based in confidence in the good intentions and competence of British governments for a long time, to the extent that separatism was actually popular for a while amongst hardcore loyalists. It's grounded in a cultural affinity for the union (with Scotland more than anything, really) and spite towards themmuns.

I'm sure that's what a good chunk of the powers that be in Dublin think, but it's not really up to them. Per the terms of the GFA, if a referendum is called in NI, one is called in the republic as well, and by all indications unification would win.

It's bad but an unavoidable point yes, integration is costly and unpopular in the short term. The Uk and Ireland papered over the differences and a tiredness of sectarian bombing replaced with investment outside of England but oh well! Here's Brexit to satisfy the rightwing base and suddenly Ireland returns to being a subjucated colony.

Yeah in a real politick sense it was a terrible idea to allow Northern Ireland to remain part of the UK rather than they be terrorist separatists in the Republic of Ireland but here we are. The UK loving loved borders and can't retreat and that's part of why we're such an awful country.

Correct.
Am from NI, and it will be a loving economic nightmare for the Republic to take back Northern Ireland.
Its not just changing the flag and road signs like a lot think.
You have to change the money, laws, healthcare, education system, and a poo poo load of other things.
Take healthcare. 1.8 million in Northern Ireland. Removed from the UK NHS and placed onto the Republics health insurance.
Lot of NI patients suddenly have to pay tens of thousands for medicine that was free to them on the NHS.

Better off if NI became its own little weird multi-country. More and more are not seeing ourselves are either Irish or British.

jesus christ lol

quote:

It pained me, too, that there was no consolation in the party I had always supported. There had been antisemitism on the left before 2015, when Jeremy Corbyn became leader, but under him the party was more hospitable to the prejudice. Corbyn was a magnet for every ultra-left crank and fanatic whose fixation on the evils of “Zionism” shaded into conspiracy theories about Jews plotting behind the scenes, pulling the financial strings of a puppet government.

Observing that trend was grim enough, but the stressful part was writing about it amid a culture of indifference that permeated the wider British left. To criticise Corbyn in print was to invite a torrent of abuse online. His hardcore supporters said the charge of antisemitism was itself a devious plot against the leader, more evidence of the conspiracy. The more squeamish fellow-travellers agreed that the whole thing stank, but held their noses anyway and campaigned for Labour.

That complicity animated a pungent hereditary fear: no matter how rooted Jews felt in a country, a movement, a culture, one day there will come along a mob carrying tools to dig us up, telling us we don’t truly belong. It is the cautionary tale our grandparents told about keeping a suitcase packed and a passport close at hand. “At least we are finding out who would have hidden us in their attic,” one Jewish friend said to me. We laughed because it wasn’t even a joke.
