Good morning!

what's your argument here, that Catholic ethnic cleansing wasn't 100% successful so it doesn't matter and we should support more of it?

I was agreeing with Southpaugh, and chuckling at the idea that Ireland would have been hosed had the Gunpowder Plot succeeded when Oliver Cromwell came on the scene literally one monarch later

I mean, if you have a far more hardline and reactionary monarchy after James VI/I, you just get an earlier Cromwell equivalent with widespread popular support without those pesky English Catholics around

he has all the charm of a wet sandwich, and that is combined with all his opinions and statements that are generated by some political AI based on polls and focus groups. This bizarre robot-man is particularly repulsive because his whole personality falls into the uncanny valley

Apparently someone at LSE just published a small blogpost about how independent Scotland would probably do alright economically and it got pulled immediately, lol

Fortunately the internet never forgets: https://archive.is/nWOGi

e: :lol: at the bolded part

quote:

With regional stability in the interests of all parties, any referendum favouring Scottish independence should be enacted through a staged approach to secession in compliance with constitutional law to minimise the economic cost on the UK and Scotland. The rule of law should be at the heart of any Scottish secession to allow for the best possible economic outcomes for people in Scotland and the UK. Such a process also depends on the politics between the UK and Scottish governments being cooperative, open-minded, and transparent. Nevertheless, although political amicability between the UK and Scotland is preferable, it is not indispensable for Scotland to become independent and continue prospering thereafter, particularly if Scotland negotiates access to the EU single market.

e2: I didn't notice that they are literally working for the UK government, thats another :lol:

Iannucci's been asked repeatedly if The Thick of It will return. IIRC he's said there's been a few times where he sat down to start writing new scripts, and each time something utterly batshit would happen in real life which made the lunacy of his draft script look quite tame.
