I always wondered if there was something vaguely racialist in how Swedes got named that, it brings to mind 'China Swede' as a bizarre anti-Finnish slur in the 1900s.

Which led me to


North Atlantic garbage island getting all the niche racisms out of the box again. Great opportunities for conspiracy zines on what the Sorbs and Yenish people are up to once the press has got bored with kicking *checks notes* Albanians still I guess.

e: lol while I was writing this post Johnson found a new group to beef with instead. You don't even have to change many of the letters from Albanians, but half the papers will probably spell it wrong and start going on about Armenians.

I mean they also do that to the welsh speaking welsh, in wales, so I think that might just be british people being very stupid generally rather than highly specialist racists.

Like a turnip, swede is also good mashed with carrots. Beets are also good.

For anyone reading this in the future these were British staples before we were forced by the wokerati to eat bugs and imported soy beans.

Probably yes, but much like you said about conspiracy theories being, ironically, made globalized, the overtly racial ones are also a lot more internationalized now, so in addition to all the "Lithuanians are stealing my garden gnomes" people shouting at Finns on trains there's definitely a few hardcore weirdos going on about "the Finno-Ugric plot to turn everyone Mongolian" who will be all over the comments of any article about any language incident.

I love swede, but more importantly, it is an essential ingredient of good pasties. Whereas there is no humane use for celeriac.

Celeriac sliced into chips, tossed in paprika, salt and olive oil then baked was the closest i got to low carb chips when cooking for my diabetic partner. I can't stand swede and turnip but celeriac just kinda works.

Late relying to this but mashed Swede with a bit (or lot) of butter in is bloody lovely so no.

I know enough casual Latin not to eat anything with virosa in the name.

Which is very useful to me out in the field what with all the plants having their botanical names on them.

I don't know what turnip tastes like. If I've ever eaten it, it left no impression on me.

Might give it a try out of curiosity.

Swede is like if someone opened a portal to the elemental plane of carrot and carved out a big lump of it the size of your fist, also slightly more fibrous generally but lacks the defined structure of carrots being carrot shaped.

White turnip is like swede but just sort of... nicer I think?

The current Conservative government are the first government since the Victorians to do something about all the poo poo that's in the rivers.

Please don't ask who let the rivers get back to the "there are lumps of poo poo floating down streams and the water gives you instant meningitis" stage.

Not sure they'd risk it. Corbyn is quite popular amongst the local Jewish population I understand. (Though maybe that's just my follows!)

I can imagine Keith considering it a success if running someone like Berger opposite Corbyn with a fierce "a vote for Jeremy is a vote for antisemitism" campaign resulted in a the vote being split enough that the Tories could creep in.
I doubt even Labour HQ are stupid enough to think Luciana is somehow popular among voters, but every loss for the left-wing is a win for Starmer and Fuckboy Evans.

My comedy prediction for the next election: underwhelm makes the Kieth go grey. Hung parliament, Lib Dems go into coalition with the Tories while doing the Matt Bors Nazi comic ("might as well"). Tories spend the following 5 years in a hot dog costume looking for who did this.
