0.000% of Communism has been built. Evil child-murdering billionaires still rule the world with a shit-eating grin. All he has managed to do is make himself *sad*. It has, however, made him into a very, very smart boy with something like a university degree in Truth. Instead of building Communism, he now builds a precise model of this grotesque, duplicitous world.
So why is there a need to import Dutch poo?

"Best boy" (or Best girl) is the deputy to the chief electrician or grip on a film or TV set. I don't find it odd that aTV presenter would call the deputy leader of a political party the best Boy/girl. It's not the wisest thing to say, but it's not devoid of context.

If I were the UK Gov I would avoid this situation by simply not privatising and running for profit a natural monopoly like water lol.

Because most British sewage treatment processes and burns the sludge, and the ones just dumping it aren't concentrating it enough for it to be useful.

Some pr nonce clued the Tories in on the fact that humans are basically slightly more intelligent dogs and can remember three word phrases before getting bored or confused (see: get Brexit done, build back better, hands face space etc)

Best example of this was the brexit literature. Leave campaign's flyer was in bright primary colours with lots of pictures of people having fun on tractors and diggers and was laid out like the cover of take a break, all exclamation marks and subheadings.

Remain's was an envelope that probably nobody opened, with a politely worded letter cosigned by Stephen Fry that even I didn't read and I was supposedly on the same side.

The tories victory in that campaign was realising that Britain's natural spirit is only polite tea parties in appearance only - the real British spirit is two neighbours drunkenly screaming at each other over parking spaces.

Couple this with the absolutely bizarre tactic of announcing that your own party members are a bunch of dangerous looneys but you'll bravely go to war against them (can you imagine any other UK political party doing this??) and the sky's the limit for Labour's poll ratings!

The UKMT Fudge Baron


New fudge released!

Hi Goons! It's nearly the end of October, which naturally means there's a pressing need to have sweet stuff in the house. May we humbly suggest fudge as the best possible option for warding off trick-or-treaters? Or for quietly eating by yourself with the light off, hoping they don't notice you. We don't judge.

This month due to popular demand we've released a collection of our cruelty-free Vegan fudges, including two brand new flavours. We also have a special offer on a couple of flavours due to short expiry dates- while we're sure most of our fudge doesn't last a week after dropping through your letterbox anyway, the sale flavours actually /need/ eating before the end of the month!

Without further ado, here's our flavour list. All stock is currently live at https://www.fudjit.co.uk and ready to be snapped up!

New and newly returned flavours

Vegan Cookies - Vegan fudge surrounding delicious chocolate sandwich cookies.
Vegan Biscoff - Delicious chunks of crunchy, caramelly Biscoff cookies surrounded by vegan fudge.
Vegan Chocolate - By popular demand! Organic high-cocoa vegan-friendly dark chocolate melted into our vegan fudge for an intense and rich chocolatey hit!
Vegan Maple & Pecan - One of our most popular breakout flavours of the past few months, now in vegan form! 100% pure Canadian Maple Syrup and crunchy pecan nuts make for a delicious combination.

So in terms of ingredients it uses a variety of plant-based dairy substitutes to provide the fats needed. Taste/texture wise, the result is a rather drier, crumblier product with hints of oat to the flavour. Sadly the smooth and soft texture of my normal fudge basically requires dairy fats in order to exist, but the vegan flavours still taste great. They just come from a different paradigm of fudge.

Also this is probably the first time the phrase 'paradigm of fudge' has been used in the history of the english language. I hope you all appreciate being present for this historic occasion.

Non dairy Margarine is fine, vegetable oil and apple sauce as a substitute to egg is fine. Vegan baking is fine.

Vegan pizza on the other hand is an abomination.

I'm sure I've mentioned this before but in the invasion panics of WWI plans were extremely quickly drawn up to repel a German invasion either up the south bank of the Thames from a landing in Medway or up from a broad-fronted landing along the south coast[1]. The final line of defence was to be the Thames itself, and the defence would take the form of massive poison gas shelling from north of the river[2]. What I'm saying is that the SE London goons are already involved in the plans to defend God's side of the river, just maybe not in the way they might be expecting.

[1] This would of course have been even more impossible than Sealion with the technology and logistics available at the time, but the press (the Mail in particular, quelle surprise) had been hyping up fears of invasion for decades at this point (War Of The Worlds is the best known example of what was a huge industry of invasion paranoia media and I'd be genuinely fascinated to read if anyone's ever done a proper history of that genre and the forces that led to it), and the entire public and a big chunk even of the military brass who knew the impossibility of invasion were absolutely convinced the Germans would somehow just keep building trenches across the Channel until they were digging up Piccadilly.
[2] This was taken seriously enough that every once in a while they find stashes of mustard gas shells just laying around by the river, because they apparently were in such a loving hurry nobody thought to note where they'd put all the poisons and by 1918 everyone was so jazzed to get those homes fit for heroes that nobody bothered to even count and go "Hey we're missing enough poison gas to kill Stevenage, maybe someone should take a look?".

I was going to say "why would they want to?" but I see you addressed that.

I'm sure there's been some SF crit studies of the whole Battle of Dorking/When William Came-type genre, but I can't remember names offhand and I'm not sure how much they go into the social forces behind it. I'll see if I can rummage anything out of the back room...
