I'm sure I remember this rumour being a thing ITT years back, but instead of PrinceOfPegging it was Up The King's Counsel

Has anyone confronted her and had a response? I genuinely wonder how these otherwise surely not unintelligent people can do this to themselves.

My brother and me were joking about this in the family chat and I think my royalist mother might have stopped talking to us.

It's traditional though, Victoria pegged Albert up his ducal entrance. It all goes back to the imperial system and how many rods you can get in a ring.

My siblings and I were being a tinsy bit rude about Brenda, and my mum got really annoyed and said "That is your Queen you are talkig about."

I wonder if this might have sparked a bit of a sexual revolution among the patriotic class? Up and down the country, men and women will have googled the term pegging for the first time, with the constant realisation that it all comes with a royal stamp of approval from a future King.

Arsenic Lupin posted:What does Starmer think is the point of a Labour party that snubs labour? (Apart from keeping Starmer close to power, I mean.) There must be some sort of intellectual justification. A key difference between the UK and USA is that a party leadership challenge requires the support of 20% of MPs. Whereas removing a sitting president is practically impossible. The last Tory leader who lost a general election was Michael Howard. Every Tory leadership change since then has been preemptive, on the basis they looked like they would lose, rather than a reaction to a defeat. That is one Tory policy Labour should adopt. Is it really the case that over 80% of sitting Labour MPs are ok with the complete abandonment of any attempt at a sane economic policy? No one minds the lack of any coherent plan for winning an election and then governing in away that will get them re-elected? If so, how long will that remain the case if Starmer somehow does win an election, presumably on the basis of ‘not being literally Truss’, but then visibly demonstrates he didn’t actually have a plan beyond that?

Tarnop posted:But that poo poo necessarily follows. When you win with a landslide by promising to improve people's lives and then you don't, they stop voting for you. Not all at once, but the collapse is inevitable. Then, when someone comes along who might actually keep their promises of helping people, they remember that the last guy with a red rosette promised the same and gave them nothing (source: actual doorstep encounters while canvassing). A perfect summation of my views. If you promise to improve things and then don't, well the next time around you've validated the "we need big tax cuts and less immigrants to fix the mistakes of the previous Labour government" rhetoric. In other news, during the heatwave we paid almost £10k per megawatt at one point https://www.bloomberg.com/opinion/articles/2022-07-25/london-s-record-9-724-54-per-megawatt-hour-to-avoid-a-blackout quote:Last week, unbeknown to many outside the power industry, parts of London came remarkably close to a blackout — even as it was recovering from the hottest day in British history. On July 20, surging electricity demand collided with a bottleneck in the grid, leaving the eastern part of the British capital briefly short of power. Only by paying a record high £9,724.54 (about $11,685) per megawatt hour — more than 5,000% higher than the typical price — did the UK avoid homes and businesses going dark. That was the nosebleed cost to persuade Belgium to crank up aging electricity plants to send energy across the English Channel. If only there was some mechanism by which a consumer could see the spot price of energy and opt to only take it when it was low. Maybe we could call this a 'smart meter'.

If you sit there moaning and don’t do owt then you’re complicit. I’d say make exceptions for those who can’t but I know loads of vulnerable people who do. Do something about it other than a tick in the box or shut the gently caress up.

Bobby Deluxe posted:Good for him though! I was trying to explain this in the other thread, but I hate the 'champagne socialists' attack line. The point of socialism isn't that people can't have nice things, the point is that everyone should have nice things, surely? It's just one of the flimsiest attack lines around. It's the same as, 'you protest against globalisation but also drink coffee! Checkmate.'
