Would be funny if journalists are getting mugged off there, because that all looks fake as poo poo. That, or MPs really are weird enough to talk like that to each other (likely, tbh).

e: there were two General Elections in '74. Imagine how insufferable that would be in this age.

A bit late to the 'old racist stuff from childhood' chat, but throwing mine on the pile:

When I was in primary school back in the 90s, we would sometimes have a 'religion' class which basically amounted to a local reverend or rabbi or someone connected to a religious institution coming in and... doing something. Talk about their religion or a holiday that was coming up or tell a bible story, it was very random and unstructured and not really supervised by the school much. One time around Easter we had a lady who was like a deacon of some alternate protestant sect come in and tell us an Easter story, which went like:

':) Before the Romans crucified Jesus, they needed nails made for the cross. But none of the blacksmiths in town would make them, even when the Romans threatened and punished them. Eventually, they found a greedy blacksmith who thought only of money, and he made the nails that the Romans used in the Crucifixion. The day after Jesus rose, the blacksmith woke up and found the nails had mysteriously appeared in his workshop, as if they had burrowed up from the earth. He was terror-stricken, and hurriedly moved with his family to a new town. But sure enough, soon he found the nails in his workshop again. The blacksmith kept on moving, trying to escape this reminder of his crime and his guilt, but the nails followed him for all his life. After he died, the curse passed on to his children, and his children's children, and all his descendants forevermore, to show their sin.

And that, children, is where Gypsies come from, and why they always move from place to place :).'

Just seemed like another weird Bible story to Year 6 me and I never thought much of it at the time. Remembered it suddenly several years later and was like 'wait, :stonk::stonk::stonk:'

There's another one as well where the blacksmith is to make four nails, two for the hands and one for the crossed feet, and a golden one to put through the heart so Jesus couldn't rise from the earth (I guess like a vampire?)

But then a Romani child steals the golden one, and as a result Jesus is resurrected, and therefore God allows the Romani people to steal with impunity.

So yeah, all pretty racist in various ways.

Reminder that the entire press lost their collective minds that JAMBLY BRCYN had once met with a Czech person, to the point that a serving MP had to pay him a huge amount of damages and put the words "Please retweet" into the British political lexicon, and also still to this day mutter darkly about the relationship he had with Diane Abbot when both were young and single.

I don't know why those two facts come to mind, or indeed the whole last half of Spy Catcher, when I see that image. Must just be one of those weird brain things.

I'm offended you think I'd use a cypher that is not just Nazi, but German. I use the Playfair Cypher like English Jesus intended.

Yes I know it was actually invented by an American but it's named after a Lord and was used by the British for over a century (the Royal Signals were still teaching it to wireless operators as late as the Falklands, but it was never actually used past WW2), that's as British as it gets. And now I want to implement it in Python because that's how I roll on a Saturday night.

The good thing is that there's a fair body of research from the BLM protests last year that Covid didn't spread well at all in outdoor protest type environments even with crowding.

The bad thing is that didn't account for Omicron, most BLM protestors tried their best to mask and sanitise, and these fucks are protesting for the right to crowd indoors after.

You know how the firing squad has one guy with blank bullets so everyone has a bit of plausible deniability that they didn't actually kill the guy? They came up with the concept after seeing what happened to that blacksmith.

Uh... forget about that centurion who stabbed Jesus to kill him faster as an act of mercy?

BLM protests stayed local, as a rule, but you can guarantee people have travelled to London to take part in this one. There's no way that someone hasn't picked Omicron up on the journey and taken it back home.

The centurion stabbed Jesus to look at his blood. It's not an act of mercy, they just knew that if the plasma had separated from the red blood it meant that his heart hasn't been beating for a significantly long time. In other words they were checking he was dead (and he was).

It's biblical canon and probably featured to ensure the miracle of the resurrection in this particular myth is clear cut.

John 19:34 (NIV)

"Instead, one of the soldiers pierced Jesus’ side with a spear, bringing a sudden flow of blood and water."

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.
