Always an interesting phenomenon that the Irish republic gives no shits for Remembrance day, despite 200k Irish (>5% of the total Irish population at the time) volunteering to fight.

Actually the whole phenomenon of shame and secrecy that surrounds the Irish who fought and which remains to the present day is pretty weird in general. Still better than poppyfucking tho

I look at the UK from (post-Xi crackdown) China and laugh and laugh at the description of the UK as “corrupt”, and China is actually pretty good these days compared to the past. There’s still a lot of social fabric to tear up.

I used to work for a Chinese company that for various reasons was applying for licences in the UK to do their thing, and my colleagues were absolutely baffled that local government granted the licenses based on the rules without bribes or threats from connections higher up.

I work for a Chinese owned company now. From experience, to win a project in China you need 2 holdalls full of cash. One for the local CCP official, and one for the guy signing off the project.

I found it quite interesting reading the backlash in the replies to this. It seems like a pretty good insight into the difference between UK and US right wing culture.

All the obvious overtones when someone like him talks about a "demographic crisis" and the family being the most important unit in society are of just no interest to his audience compared to the real nightmare: the notion of scroungers with flat-screen TVs having more kids than they can afford.

quote:

A Conservative peer has called on the government to introduce special immigration rules to fix a shortage of au pairs.

Baroness Hodgson of Abinger told the House of Lords that Brexit had meant there was no visa route to bring au pairs to the UK.

Speaking in the House of Lords on Monday, she said the lack of au pairs would affect "hard-working families".

It's the economy, stupid.

Seriously, though, this is the sort of mindset that only really mainstreams in a rentier economy based around securing ownership of scarce, high-value assets and then charging people to use them. 'gently caress off, we're full' is the battlecry of a country that's stagnated so long and so hard that it's started to like it.

When I looked this morning the top hits for "Richard kyanka obituary" came from a Markov chain that said he had died in a skyline accident after a long struggle with Foetal Alcohol Syndrome. So he died as he lived - as an unfunny joke on the Internet.

Supporting deselection - something else the Corbmeister was always being accused of but categorically was against and never supported - but is in fact being encouraged by Sir Plankalot.

Zarah Sultana is one of the most pro-active MPs around and would make a great leader even if she does need a bit more experience (didn't stop the Plank becoming LOTO did it having sod all experience!)
