Kensington Palace is also not exactly in a rural location.

I always forget they all live in London cause Buckingham Palace feels like they're trying very hard to emulate the countryside like it doesn't feel urban at all. Kinda like how disneyland feels like you're in these different worlds, only somehow more classist and not fun.

My experience of the countryside is that there's rich people and poor people living there, it just isn't a poo poo hole like cities mostly are, and if it is you just move over a bit and you're in somewhere nice whereas in a city if you move over a bit you're just still in the city.

I just listened to the Trash Future episode on Greensill and gently caress me David Cameron is a moron. Didn't look too closely into it before because I just assumed that David Cameron is corrupt and couldn't be bothered to look into financial aspects and now I find out that Cameron had the same attitude on research for what was essentially a payday lender scheme in places where it makes no sense to have a payday lender.

It really is just dogmatic belief that Private = good, public = bad. That's all it is.

Apparently,

“By declaring milk perfect,” she wrote, “white northern Europeans announced their own perfection.”

There's arguments in America about how federal programmes giving kids free milk are racist because non white people are more likely to struggle with lactose digestion. Perhaps Thatcher was just trying to avoid these troubling issues?

It's honestly really scary how pervasive it's all getting. Every other suggested video I'm getting on YouTube is loving Steven Crowder or Ben Shapiro and a whole litany of minor goofy fronts for white supremacy and it really seems to be getting through to people, at least here in Australia.

ofc there's no homogenous class between rural and urban areas, just I've only ever really been exposed to posh ppl in rural areas. Still would deffo rather live in a shithole in the city than the nicest rural area personally considering the fact most of my social life would vanish lol.

I don't get any of this. I wonder if it's because I refuse to watch anything by a YouTuber as I don't want to encourage WASSUP HEY GUYS cunts, or paedophiles, or both.

All I watch is sport highlights, music, and the odd film about running made by a sober professional with an attention span greater than three seconds.

I don't sign into YouTube either.

youtube algorithm chat:

It's weird. Yesterday, I watched a short video posted by a friend who has spent lockdown working on his model railway and filming it in action (ahem - yes) anyway, now my youtube suggestions are all recipes! (a) there were no recipes in friend's video (b) I have never watched recipe videos except for Vegan Black Metal Chef and that's only because I'm a saddo who gets a kick out of the Hail Seitan thing.
All I can assume is that my friend and his other friends who also watched the video are keen watchers of recipe videos.

I remember one time, the sidebar on my youtube suggestions being a long streak of Eminem videos punctuated by a fundamentalist islamic sheikh preaching a sermon in arabic. (Will the real Sheikh Shady please stand up!)

This is funny too (not the Crispix bit but the hard bin men). Back in the olden days when I were a lass, people were always complaining about the well 'ard binmen leaving rubbish strewn up the path and all over the garden, particularly in December if the Christmas Box (requested in rather menacing tones) wasn't forthcoming or wasn't big enough. The same people now worship at the feet of well 'ard binmen of far-off days.

Also the same people who go on about how they've got 30 locks on their back yard gate and cameras and floodlights because a youth left a cigarette end near the jitty while once and the Lithuanians are interfering with their garden gnomes are the ones complaining that the bin men won't go in their yard.

It's not meant to be subtle, it's just there to give plausible deniability. Instead of saying "I like hitler", they say 88. Nazis see it and think "He's on my side", and everyone else sees it and says "that's clearly a message about how you like hitler" and they just say "what no i just like the number" and complete idiots see that and think "well that's that then"

"Jacob Rees-Mogg, leader of the House of Commons, wants the package of 25 to 30 bills in the Queen’s Speech to deliver key sections of the Tory manifesto."

There go the workers rights.


"Including a planning bill to clear obstacles to housebuilding and broader development."

More lovely new builds everywhere that are somehow even worse quality than they are now, and an admission that the housing market is basically the one industry we have left.


"Under the bill, all councils in England will have to designate land either for development or preservation."

Developers will now be able to pressurise ailing councils to sell off public land. The home counties will of course designate everything for preservation while northern councils are going to have to sell off any green land they still have.


"The business department has just completed a public consultation seeking views on how the arrangements can allow the government to make strategic interventions in industry."

Again, this'll be the absolute ramping up of things like fire & rehire and zero hours contracts for anyone doing the actual labour if they threaten companies bottom line at all.


"There will also be bills to create a series of freeports: low-tax zones featuring simplified planning rules that ministers have said will serve as hubs for high-value manufacturing and innovation. Sceptics have cited research suggesting they tend to shift jobs and investment around the country, rather than generate new business."

I'm more concerned that they tend to attract massive amounts of organised crime.


"Business secretary Kwasi Kwarteng will meanwhile sponsor a bill to establish a “high risk, high reward” scientific research agency that was the brainchild of Dominic Cummings, Johnson’s former chief adviser."

JOIN ME MR BOND IN THE INNOVATION ZONE

No really, we are probably going to render large chunks of the country uninhabitable because Cummings heard Chernobyl is now cool.


"A procurement bill will give small and medium-sized companies greater opportunities to secure government contracts, and allow the public sector to buy British when the deals are not subject to international trade rules."

Well if there's one thing the pandemic has proved, it's that only good things can happen when the government are allowed to hand out contracts with zero oversight.


"The bill will reverse key aspects of a contentious 2012 shake-up of the NHS which handed greater operational independence to the health service and sharply increased the role of competition."

This is the only one that seems good? If they're reversing the role of competition that's good. It depends what they're moving the greater independence away from though.


"An environment bill, carried over from the previous parliamentary session, will include creation of a new environmental watchdog for England and fresh commitments on biodiversity."

I fully expect it to be a trump style department for companies to bribe so they can do whatever the gently caress they like, filled with climate deniers. Also carried over from the last session means 'we couldn't get it through before but now we have a majority we're forcing it through.'


"Other measures are expected to liberalise rules on gene editing in agriculture, a cause long promoted by Johnson as one of the supposed benefits of Brexit."
Tough on bees, tough on the causes of bees.


"Home secretary Priti Patel has secured a slot in the Queen’s Speech for her strategy on tackling violence against women and girls, which will focus on improving the low and declining conviction rates for some sexual offences, especially rape."

I cannot wait to see what draconian insanity they try to hide behind this, safe in the knowledge that anyone trying to criticise it is going to get brigaded by mumset.

Thanks, I'd forgotten just how completely hosed we are outside of Brexit and Covid. Hopefully the JRM workhouses have the decency to heat up the gruel before serving
