Cromwell had a cornish accent. So a vampire hunter sounding like the old guy from Hot Fuzz would be watchable as hell. Edit: 11. 11 is one less than the amount of millions Prince Nonce of Noncenton paid to keep his noncing out of the papers. happyhippy fucked around with this message at 15:55 on Jun 4, 2022 |

I wasn't that big a fan of The Canterbury Tales til I saw it at Bradford Alhambra narrated by Brian Glover, in full force broad Yorkshire. It loving ruled.

Finally, 20 points ahead: https://twitter.com/ElectionMapsUK/status/1533135353472815113?s=20 I note this was field work up to 22nd May. Wonder if things have got better or worse for tories since then. Unrelated: Apparently "The Palace" chose this passage for the Prime Binbag of Custard to read out: Quoting a passage from Philippians 4:8, the Prime Minister said: "Whatever is true, whatever is honourable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is pleasing, whatever is commendable … think about these things." Re the booing: "One Twitter user, John West, said in response to footage of Mr and Ms Johnson walking into St Paul's Cathedral, with a stir in the background: "Crowds of woke, Union-Jack waving, left-wing monarchists and nobility boo the Johnsons.""

I mean he is right in that that doesn't historically work out very well for anybody. Nobody is willing to actually invade Russia over it (and that would be stupid and just get countless more people killed) so necessarily it's either got to end in a negotiated ceasefire or Ukraine losing. And they aren't going to agree to a ceasefire unless it gives them a "way out" as he says. Macron might generally be an idiot but I don't think he's incorrect about that specifically.

crispix posted:i disagree i think russia should be isolated and humiliated as much as possible Putin has said, and this is very close to quote-unquote, that there is no point to the world existing if Russia has no place in it. This is not something you want to hear from a man who has over 6,000 nuclear warheads at his disposal and very few restrictions on him using them. Macron is 100% correct that Putin needs to be left with a means to stop fighting, because he's also made it abundantly clear that he won't stop if he wins in Ukraine.

The problem is not the west not providing an exit ramp. The problem is working out if its an ideological opposition to Ukrainian existence in Putins mind, or if its all about monopoly gas field access and development.  Those yellow areas contain 3.5x more gas than the entirety of Norway and there's already a huge pipeline right to europe... Those also cover some very familiar areas. At least that's my theory. Its all about monopoly gas and not allowing them to cut hundreds of billions of dollars into Russias biggest market.

Mebh posted:I'm pretty sure the Russian troops know the way back to loving Russia I think there's a greater-than-50:50 chance that the soldiers of Captain rank and higher know how to go back home, but I'd be skeptical that the grunts do. Given how the war has been described in Russia, there's a fairly decent chance that Pr. Alexey Nurmatov thinks he's fighting a ground battle to secure Rylsk rather than Buryn (to choose two arbitrary towns a similar-ish distance from the pre-war border).

It worked out much better after WW2 when we humiliated the ideology instead, removed it's symbols, destroyed it's altars. Give Putin an out where he can blame the whole thing on Kyrill and Dugin and hang them upside down outside a garage.

Guavanaut posted:It worked out much better after WW2 when we humiliated the ideology instead, removed it's symbols, destroyed it's altars. The last two posts are exactly it. If we humiliate and isolate Russia, the Russian people will bind more closely to Putin or the next nationalist whackjob who comes along. If we humilate and isolate the regime, and we restrict that to the boundaries of the war, the message is sent: Russia has a place in the world, imperialist murderers are the ones we have a problem with.
