England is a very persistant mass hallucination but I would stop short of suggesting that it is real.

There once was a dream that was England. You could only whisper it. Anything more than a whisper and it would vanish, it was so fragile. Plus you'd get put in jail, these days

One of the organisers of a vigil for Sarah Everard has said Cressida Dick should not resign

“We are a movement of women seeking to support and empower other women, and as one of the most senior women in British policing history, we do not want to add to the pile-on,” Birley told ITV’s Good Morning Britain x

Even with all the negative press coverage a majority still say that the police shouldn't have allowed the vigil. Even among women the split is almost 50/50

The one time you think it would be the other way, with the press on the side of the protesters.

E that's why the cops did the big photoshoot defending Churchill so this can all become part of the pro or anti statue argument

Before all this I honestly really couldn't have given a poo poo either way about the Churchill statue. The man himself was a chode but "London has big bronze chode somewhere" wasn't really a surprise and it wasn't even in my top 10 list of statues that would benefit from being gone, but given the sorts of people who have come out strongly on the pro side and the way it's been turned into some kind of culture war totem by people who had no clue who Edward Colston was until last year and have somehow been convinced that Churchill's existence in history is under permanent threat from LGBT BAME ANTIFAs sure, pull the loving thing down.

Saw a few people on Twitter yesterday going around replying to gammonfolk's comments with "should the Duchess of Cambridge be arrested then?", met with silence each time.

Would have posted it but jfc looking at Twitter yesterday was a mistake, didn't want to inflict it on you lot

the correct answer is that yes she should have been arrested & offered a choice of cigarette & blindfold, but that's got nothing to do with the vigil

Thing is why do the billionaires or whoever it is funding this culture war poo poo want this constant 50/50 split in society? It's untenable surely? It seems corrosive as gently caress and we'd have been in civil war at any other time in history. I have trouble understanding why anyone, even ultra-capitalists, would want this bullshit to carry on.

Is this not obvious though? The culture war obfuscates the only real conflict within capitalism - which is to say that of Capital vs Labour.

gently caress no it's not tenable, but it just has to last a little longer so that Jonty Q Billionaire can be buried in a solid gold sarcophagus with all of his slaves, who then become his slaves in the afterlife

A friend who is working on the vaccine roll-out told me we're really seeing the effects of all the stupid fearmongering around the AZ vaccine here now. Apparently they're getting a lot of cancellations and people turning up then refusing the vaccine when they find out it's the AZ one.

So loving stupid.
