Separate rant: The other week I moved a bunch of brewing equipment from a festival back to my brewery using Addison Lee. Checked my card statements yesterday and saw that in addition to the £31 cost, there was another £21 'Addison Lee Extra' charge on the card. Phoned them up to be told that as I had exceeded the 5 minute unloading time, this was an additional charge. This didn't feel right to me because the unloading felt pretty quick, did a check and emailed AL back to ask if they would like a copy of my CCTV which shows the unloading took 7 minutes, and the driver then got into his van and waited for another 10 before leaving. Cheeky bastards have refunded as a 'goodwill gesture' and 'educated customer about waiting times' in the credit note.

I used to have to get taxis around on the company dime with paper tickets to sign, and the drivers would without fail add 15 minutes wait time to every one. I signed them ofc because not my money

Something we seem dangerously ill-equipped to deal with is the fact that British fascism was never going to rely on epic, future-looking rhetoric that rejects rationalism and modernity in favour of a heroic national destiny, because British nationalism leans heavily on 1) the idea that earthy rationalism and pragmatism are a proud part of the national character and 2) a rejection of silly self-seriousness, which is seen as un-British (except when it comes to the Royals). In other words, I imagine we can expect a great deal more of this line of "of course we're not fascists, the fascists were silly foreign fellows mucking things up for everyone else; what motivates us is honest talk, Good British Common Sense and grown-up sensible thinking" and I don't really believe anyone in the public sphere has the nous to properly challenge that.

Tesseraction posted:Funny you should say that, https://twitter.com/NatConTalk/status/1658222444602179586 Yeah - and as with Braverman's argument, there's this absolutely pettiness to this rhetoric, this obsession with the protection of comfort and the avoidance of shame. It's not heroic nationalism. There's not really a collective call-to-arms beyond "the voices of dissent need to be made to shut up and go away, by any means necessary". It's not seriously arguing that Britain has some great future destiny ahead of it, that every citizen is a crusader and champion with a part to play in the coming conflict, or that King Arthur is due to rise again any day now. The message (and with so many current conservative narratives, such as weirdos ranting about the Dambusters' dog, or the "lock up all the anti-monarchists" talking heads) is consistently that reassurance of "you shouldn't have to feel bad about any of it, past or present. We must ruthlessly and permanently stamp out any attempt to make us feel bad about it". I know that's not a massively interesting or insightful point. I just think it's both horrifying and intensely British to see how far we're apparently willing to go in the name of this ideology of avoidance.

Was it someone in this thread saying that the key feature of contemporary UK politics is that change can only be for the worse; far better to keep everything the way it is now and angrily resent anyone who tries to wobble the boat. That's what this feels like: going to any lengths to prevent financially secure older homeowners from having to feel even mildly uncomfortable about anything.

Yeah, you don't have to feel guilty about things that happened in the past, but that shouldn't prevent you from wanting to improve things in the present.

OwlFancier posted:The issue with that is that if you had guaranteed care when you were old that's removing an incentive to have children. There's something to be said about someone with familial bonds providing much better care than someone's who's just paid to do so.

Z the IVth posted:There's something to be said about someone with familial bonds providing much better care than someone's who's just paid to do so. Perhaps, but I feel that that says more about society and also presumes quite a lot of favourable outcomes. I have a friend I help out occasionally and I would say I do more for her than two of her three kids do, so I don't think it's a guarantee that having kids means they'll give a poo poo about you. Plus I don't think it should ultimately boil down to people being personally inclined to care for you, there should be structures that make it easier for people to be looked after as they age. Like, good care homes that you don't have to pay through the nose for and still afford their residents as much independence as they can.

They always want strong families, but they want to do that by banning divorce rather than by teaching kids how to have respectful and fulfilling relationships. And 'faith' but by forcing it into daily life without any of the good works bits.
