Yeah the big thing with the opening ceremony is it was an idealised version of Britain's history that speaks only of the theoretical good. Like it loving had a march of the Windrush generation while Theresa May was doing her poo poo that would later be called the Windrush Scandal.

Guavanaut posted:I will make murder illegal. Did you know there's no actual written law making murder illegal? I will write one that says it's bad. It's one of the twelve commandments . I had an argument with a person about pretty much this the other day because they couldn't understand the concept of common law.

Wait you don't have a written law against murder? Like I'm familiar with Common Law Principles and I understand that the British have an inherent hatred of writing your laws down*, but I would have assumed that you'd still have put murder on the statute books at some point. Like, it just looks bad if you don't. Sure we only wrote down ours in the 60's, but we hadn't been our own country up until the 20's. We eventually got it done. *= See the Constitution or lack there of.

Wait a little and next she will tell the doctors to bring "more" people back to life. I will be honest i really want her to be the next prime minister, but i am French and i was captured by her cheese speech. I also want England to sink into the sea. So....

The Question IRL posted:Wait you don't have a written law against murder? Nope. "Murder is defined, at common law rather than by statute, as the unlawful killing of a reasonable person in being under the King or Queen's peace with malice aforethought express or implied." -- Wikipedia "Murder has never been statutorily defined, despite being recognised as either the most serious crime, or certainly among them."

BalloonFish posted:Danny Boyle always made it clear that the Olympics ceremony was a distorted, curated vision of how Britain wants to see itself, how it aspires to be, and the relationship with its history that it yearns to have. He explicitly said that it was effectively a theatrical staging of 'Jerusalem' - a song where the first verse poses a bunch of questions about religious myth and the second is a bunch of calls to action to create an idealised world. At no point does the song deal with reality and neither did the Olympic ceremony. I like the irony of the daily mail and express etc being outraged at purveyor of sick filth danny boyle promoting heroin abuse and child neglect, then 25 years later yearning to crawl back into his perfect vision of britain Edit: i fully believe the 2012 opening ceremony is the epilogue of a shared cinematic universe with shallow grave, trainspotting, and 28 days later Convex fucked around with this message at 14:23 on Jul 27, 2022 |

I blame Napoleon for the idea absolutely everything must be written down. Ancien regime France had common law just like us. Edit: pretty sure kneecapping is still a thing? But more for (non sanctioned) drug dealers now.

There's a difference between a common law understanding of murder, and a tradition of showing integrity in office. How would one prescriptively define that?

Everyone knows what they mean and what the are supposed to do and writing things down will just be confusing. These things will never be taken advantage of." How well did having a written constitution work in protecting American democracy from Trump? The whole Jan 6th attempted coup was justified by an absurd, but literal, reading of the constitution something to do with the accreditation process for the electors who elected the President. Basically a variant of shooting all the electors who won’t vote for you, then handing out a Presidential pardon for the murders. It was only stopped by an informal process based the Republican equivalent of the 1922 committee,, including iirc Cheney, saying ‘that is obviously loving mad, stop now’. All countries are actually governed by an unwritten constitution; some just kid themselves otherwise. Once you realise this, you start to make a lot less unforced political errors. Don’t be the German conservatives who went up to Hitler and said ‘emergency period is over, according to the rules you clearly need to step down now’. History spoiler: this did not end well for them.

America's Cumrag (they spend their time jerking off on it and discard it when it's inconvenient) is worth the paper it's written on i.e. not loving much. What matters is power. If you can circumvent it by saying No I Don't Think I Will, what good is it.

This is why the American right have shifted from the Constitution to a weirdo regressive Christian Nationalism, because that allows even more latitude to just make poo poo up (god said so)

This might be naive of me but I think some places will upload a pdf of funeral booklets for people who didn't make it but wanted one, so he probably just printed one off himself. How he knew his mother died etc is another matter.
