In re Matthew Hardcock assault: after the last 40 years, that people aren't defenestrating tories on sight simply shows we're far too tolerant on the whole.

This.

There's been a lot of outcry from politicians that they've been getting abuse on social media. That's like me going down to the pub, calling the biggest guy a smelly oval office, then being surprised when I get punched. If you treat people like poo poo, they're going to hate you and they're going to show it.

Say what you will about the anti lockdown lot but they've at least got the spine to stand up to a politician. How many socialists have been sat next to a Tory MP on the tube and been too poo poo scared to even tut? How many people have seen a front bench MP walking down the street and not even shoulder checked them?

Hard to say if it would have done anything.

Well maybe Corbyn would have won, but then again maybe not, probably depends on the timing.

And even if he did win he probably wouldn't be able to push through that much radical change because PLP.

Rowling decided to be really inclusive by adding a gay character, so she made sure he only ever hosed once and it was off-screen with Wizard Hitler and it was his greatest sin and regret and he was then celibate for the rest of his life. A true LGB ally who definitely only hates trans people with the purest of motives.
On that note, Rita Skeeter is described as having a 'heavily jawed face', 'mannish hands', and 'a surprisingly strong grip' as well as fake nails and fake hair. This description coupled with the fact that she is literally illegally transforming her body in order to spy on children.

I mean Johnson was the legitimizing face of the entire Brexit project.

Applied for my new brexity document for lost opportunities (aka passport) last Thursday, it's arrived today.

On the one hand it looks like a piece of crap and is black not blue and on the other at least it came quickly though I am now stuck with a photo that looks like Myra Hindley on a very bad day until I'm 73.

I’ve got one of those wanky limbo passports where they were still red but they didn’t stick European Union on the front, so I didn’t even get brexited properly.

How much of this whole mess could've been avoided if the UK just kept the passport as blue instead of switching to the standard EU colour (which I'm led to believe is not a requirement but done to cut costs because they all get produced in bulk at the same factory).

Yeah other EU countries have different coloured passports.

It wouldn’t have prevented poo poo because we have too many thick and/or racist cunts of voting age, but it’s nice to dream.

Theoretically it's not required, but it's the recommended colour and a lot of countries do use it.

Though there is the bit about the colour being just "burgundy" which is not always understood as the same exact shade.

I really, really wish I could just forego the nation bullshit and have an Earth passport.

It would most genuinely reflect how I feel about my lived relationship to the world.

I have lived for a year or longer, in chronological order, in; France, England (shortest), East coast US (near Boston), West coast US (Altadena), and Scotland (by far the longest). With shorter than a year but significant periods in; Australia, New Zealand and West Coast US (Pauma valley). And briefer visits elsewhere in Europe, Africa and Polynesia - the joy of a peripatetic academic father who made a point of having stop overs in interesting places as we moved between more permanent settlement (by creative use of "relocation" funding I suspect but I've never asked).

People are people, and nationalism, however mild, is opaque bollocks I simply cannot wrap my brain around.

Looks like an air gap. But for something in the toilet room rather than a dishwasher (I hope).

The aliens never return my calls, so sadly no :(

More seriously, I am far more invested in my required identity being with an inclusive totality than with a divisive, and necessarily othering, single part of a manufactured plurality.
(Why yes, I am reading about the massive problems of interpretation in prehistory that arise from the dominant - and most often unconscious - adherence to a perceived Cartesian duality between the 'sacred' and 'secular' rn. Why do you ask?)

You need to get past these fuckers' ablative psychic armour first.

Case study, observed interaction carried out by a friend:
On seeing James Whale in train station.
Enthusiastic (puppy-like): "Oh wow, are you James Whale?"
JW :smug: but engaged :"Yes, I am"
"Just wanted to say. *pause* Your programs are utter poo poo."

Whale visibly deflated like a sad balloon. It was great.
