UK libel laws are garbage, part 8,390,026

15th May 1919, the Winnipeg General Strike starts. For 6 weeks more than 30,000 (in a city of maybe 150,000) refused to work over low wages, rising prices, insecure employment, poor housing conditions & rampant discrimination against immigrants.

Infer from this what you will

More good news for the future of the UK

quote:

Fewer than half of people in Scotland say they support retaining the monarchy, according to a major new poll that reveals the cultural divides emerging within the union.

Almost six in 10 people across Britain want to retain the monarchy for the foreseeable future, with only a quarter saying that the end of the Queen’s reign would be an appropriate time for Britain to become a republic. The overwhelming majority, some 85%, expect that Britain will still have a monarchy in a decade’s time.

However the poll, by the British Future thinktank, found that only 45% in Scotland said they wanted to retain the monarchy – with 36% saying the end of the Queen’s reign would be the right moment to move to a republic. Some 19% either rejected the choice, or said they didn’t know.

Latvia's song was amazing and didn't even get through the semis so the entire competition is a farce as far as I'm concerned.

Tbf they wouldn't let Georgia and Azerbaijan read out the votes in the final due to 'irregularities' so it seems like the semi finals were a massive fix.

Managed decline in the 70s, then Hillsborough. Scouse exceptionalism goes back further than that but those were the two big things that switched it. In the 60s it wasn't unusual to see a Union Jack on the Kop but you'd never get one now.

It's morphed to mean really any relationship between two numbers you can contrive on twitter. Specifically people will post "ratioed" beneath unpopular tweets in an attempt to get the reply more likes than the original.

They've built their entire recent identity around 'Corbyn bad' and twisted it through tortured logic into making them the good guys. It's like centrist Qanon by this point, complete with accusations of secret Trotskyists mentally manipulating the police.

Switch Corbyn for Clinton and Trotsky for Soros and you can built the exacts same unpleasant conspiracies about "you don't really care about X rights, you have just been mentally manipulated."

Here's what Lee Anderson actually said.

quote:

At the start of the clip, Daubney refers to Monroe as the “self-appointed representative of the impoverished”, adding she has “sold loads of books. Done quite well out of it. No doubt, probably earns more than the prime minister”.

Anderson responds by stating: “She’s taking money off some of the most vulnerable people in society and making an absolute fortune on [sic] the back of people.”

It used to be it was sometimes turned on/off, but no idea what it's like now.

I spent 5 years occasionally reading the forums without an account, I would know.

I don't think this thread has been hidden for about 4 years (I lurked for several weeks until it got hidden on 2018 and I decided it was worth paying for). Not been hidden since, sometimes I read on a different device and don't sign in just so I can keep up.
Can't speak for other threads.

Does anyone have a good idea for good generalised history books about Central or Southern America from prehistory onward? Not as an academic exercise more just trying to get started.

I'm asking because I can't find poo poo on any site that I really trust the reviews of.
