im from the bad post police, and i'm afraid i have bad news
its pretty funny and illustrates the state of the modern UK that something like an ID card and joined up single-sign-on for government, automatic address changes, etc that is normal and good in other countries can't be embraced here because of how poo poo/corrupt/useless the government is

better things aren't possible!

Semper Shitpost Ubique

I like the idea of regional and seasonal foods. It was a big part of culture, at least here, that's been lost as everything flattened.

My problem in this case is that it's not a return to local, or God forbid, family farms, but rather very obviously being done because of shortages. There's none of the benefits for the environment or local economy that are supposed to come from the shift back to regional agriculture. I would guess all of the money would still go to major agribusinesses, who would still truck food to supermarkets.

There's this thing in neoliberalism where they appeal to the culture they destroyed when the contradictions become unmanageable, and it always rings hollow to me.

e: and beyond that, forgive me if this is not how it worked in the UK, how it worked before was that people would fill their root cellars with vegetables and make all sorts of fruit and vegetable preserves. Later on, canning supplemented this as well. Not only has no-one stocked up like that this winter, people buy groceries every week or so now, have nowhere to keep a winter's worth of root vegetables, but also the way prices are going nobody could.

I would like it if maple was special in March, apples in September and so on. That meant something, that sense of time and place has been lost in our culture today. However, telling people to do that as a "gently caress you. Figure it out." is not really on the level of bringing back the varied meals, seasonal foods, rhythm of life, of Piers Ploughman or whatever.

the sunny brexit uplands has fortuitously led us to a British take (or flavour as it were) on “the nordic cuisine” principles of eating only locally grown and seasonal foods, simply put, the U.K. is now the Noma restaurant but on a national scale

obviously fermenting tomatoes in giant mason jars and living off seasonally available food is The Way. it's just that instead of any sort of acceptable encouragement to change and adapt to that way of living from the current "HERE BUY THIS!" method of everything, they're basically just saying, "Well look, you've had your entire life to drum up books worth of knowledge about how people used to live, and arguably plenty of time to prepare not only your garden, but also your root cellar, for this very moment we've insisted would never come."

He's basically gonna win by default just by turning up but Keir eating absolute poo poo would be uproariously funny for the 11 seconds before remembering that rishi has got a mandate to do gently caress all while the final copper wires are pulled out of the nation's walls

It's still insane to me that he got away with pinning the entire anti-Semitism scandal on Corbyn. Tens of thousands of cases of anti-semitism across only a few years, but it's OK, we got the one bad guy. It was all his fault, the entire culture of casual anti-semitism was because of this one guy, who we fired, please don't look into it anymore. And then when Jewish Labour members complained about it, they got kicked out too without a word of mention from the media. Because the scandal was over because they caught the bad guy. Amazing.
