Green Wing posted:That's very much one of those things that people 'learned' as a cool fact in the 90s and never bothered to update - like "oh it's still punishable by death to set fire to the royal dockyards" and that poo poo. I used to be a legal researcher in Westminster and this stuff just stays in the minds of senior people and refuses to leave. When's the last time Jenny whatserface was seen at Keir's

Mebh posted:https://twitter.com/Haroon_Siddique/status/1654731767847215105 Yeah we always called it tedium when I was in a choir too. Somehow whoever scores a te deum feels the need to make it half an hour long and intensely dull. I thought it was quite nice as these ceremonies go. Lots of fancy costumes, important people kneeling down and promising to be good (which they won’t) and one of our friends threw a party so we’re all getting drunk at someone else’s expense. Also unlike the UK it’s warm here and we have good weather. I’m coming around to a view that all this national solidarity stuff is a necessary step on the road to any other kind of solidarity. Capitalism as a system works by atomising us into individuals selling our labour; any kind of solidarity is a threat to that. It’s possible that collective action can only happen on the back of pre-existing bonds of solidarity? Beefeater1980 fucked around with this message at 13:42 on May 6, 2023 |

My (black, Mississippi) wife's view on the gospel choir was 'they did the best they could with what they were given'. There's only so much you can do with alleluia.

The nation-state is little more than an organisational structure for self-governance and collective bargaining. Useful and powerful for that purpose, and worth maintaining if it's the tool you have, but with no particular innate advantage over any similar, greater, or more specialised democratic structure.

Am surprised the establishment and public accept Camilla with no problem. She's played the long game, and soon the throne will be Windsor free.

I would say the nation is a lie intended to stop people from seriously acknowledging when they getting hit with the poo poo end of the stick, and who's holding the other end, by pretending that what matters is we're all touching the same stick.

All the biggest landlords in the country get together in silly clothes and fancy hats to put the fanciest hat of all on the ultimate landlord's head, and they all tell him and each other what good and noble chaps they are. Every landlord in the nation believes that this is right and proper and what they too deserve. And in the UK becoming a BTL slumlord is the only aspiration you're really meant to have, so everyone is a landlord in waiting. I've finally got the whole thing figured out, friends. Look out for my book on Verso early next year.

The BBC has an article up on it saying "It's a once in a lifetime experience so why not?" Now Chuck is 74 years. Liz lasted 96. Chuck doesn't seem to have a good circulatory system as it is with his sausage hands. This is definitely not a once in a life time experience for most of us.

My favorite reaction to the coronation was this: https://twitter.com/Deus_lo_vult___/status/1653153132648579075?s=20 Apparently, this dude is both an anti-monarchist and a traditionalist Catholic sedevacantist, which is a new kind of Online Guy I've never encountered before.
