Mega Comrade posted:The Star of David on a pig is a little Went to look up the picture of this:  apparently it's from an earlier tour in 2013 and isn't being used now. Just seems to be part of a general collage of 20th-century conspiratorial imagery. e: also the heat does seem to be getting to some labour mps already https://twitter.com/stellacreasy/status/1667473584350961664 josh04 fucked around with this message at 11:27 on Jun 10, 2023 |

Mandela Effected myself because I was convinced that Big Fash wore a black button down shirt for Big Fash Delusion Song rather than that shoulder buttoned thing. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yX4O3dNTFYw But even watching that as a literal child I managed to get that the message being conveyed was not one in favour of fascism, and the only people who missed that were loving idiots like the Hammerskins who formed a racist group based on the imagery, and equal loving idiots calling Waters a fascist over it.

Hard to argue that Waters wasn't a fascist on that tour, and indeed he wouldn't try it himself.

Yeah I figure they're all terrible people, but only one of them is currently weaponising anti-Semitism to stoke a decades old grudge AFAICT. It's all a bit cringe either way

Mega Comrade posted:The Star of David on a pig is a little It was one of many symbols including a Christian crucifix, an Islamic crescent moon. Some people at the time suggested it could be misinterpreted as being anti-Semitic, so he removed the Star of David after 5 gigs and never included it again. That was 10 years ago.

Your memory might be influenced by a later song in Fash-Pink's set, Waiting for the Worms, which has the lines "(Waiting) to put on a black shirt / (Waiting) to weed out the weekings, to smash in their windows and kick in their doors"

I think you're right, but they're wearing the same shoulder buttoned shirts in that video too. I think I must have blended in some of the actual britfash that it was obviously pointing at into the mental image.

It is/was a pretty common move by well off-buyers, although with increasing uncertainty in the market, I think it's not as frequent as in the last couple of years. (who's gunna put 10k over the asking price in when price forecasts are trending down).

As you long as you don't get gazundered, which always sounded like a sexcrime to me. Ireland, not UK, but it took us 9 months from Sale Agreed to getting keys, with the wanker EA ringing me constantly even though I'm fucken waiting for you to sort this poo poo out mate and both solicitors being lazy wastemen. Don't fancy doing that again for a while.

Solicitor (taking a long drag on a spliff): "Heyyyyy, chill out dude, manana, manana! It'll all be the same in a hundred years, you know? Things'll happen when they happen."

Magic Circle / Biglaw where someone’s paying a lot every month, you get 24/7 availability. As an individual doing something like a house purchase you are almost never paying enough for the solicitor to care about your business.

kecske posted:just the bin men getting exposed to the mercury as they break then Yes. Though they use lorries that pick the bins up and tip stuff in here so wimpy modern bin people don't get to touch the rubbish unlike proper bin men from when I were a lassie who hoisted big smelly dustbins on their backs with a cheerful whistle and smile. Maybe if they provided somewhere to put them that didn't require you to have a car, people wouldn't do that. (In our flats it's hard enough to get people to understand that wrappers from crisps and packets of biscuits have to go in the black household waste bin not the red paper & card bin,, purple plastics & foi binl, yellow hygiene waste bin, blue food bins, nor the green bin with the round hole at the top for glass bottles and jars only but not non round glass, or the green lift up top £50 a year garden waste bin, let alone take batteries to the supermarket, or bully acquaintance with car to get a slot at the tip several miles away to take your light bulb). Time all these systems were streamlined. It's a freakin nightmare esp when we're on a border with England and English rules are entirely different so people's carers or relatives who live over the border don't have a clue and bung anything anywhere. (A bit ranty because I'm fed up of people putting stuff in the wrong bins when they've had letters from the council, letters from me, also where we out our bins out people using Home Bargains or takeaway use them as general mini skips.) At least the CFL bulbs are gradually disappearing from circulation.

The concerning thing would be a bunch of Tory MPs joining an even more right wing party like Reform UK, and Reform UK then being in a position after a General Election to prop up a Tory minority government in exchange for policies. I know Cameron was concerned enough about the prospect to hold the doomed Brexit referendum, but, well... Cameron was a complete loving moron whose political power was entirely based on good press. I do think there's a cap on the number of people who would be willing to vote for the red These are Tories who feel confident they're out of power at the next election and want first dibs on the best seats on the gravy train.

Hello lovely people! My partner recently met a homeless person living in our town that she would like to help. Not knowing much about how this sort of thing works I've come here to ask for advice. This homeless person seems to be in their 20s and originally comes from Moldova, possibly they are not a legal immigrant. We are considering that we could provide them with clothes and toiletries, they do not have a phone so we might be able to help them with that... it seems that they are just generally in need of help in many ways, they have poor English so they could be struggling to access assistance, but we don't know much about their situation or what they would accept. A quick google lead us to the council homeless helpline (we are in Cheshire East) but we are not sure how useful this is. If anyone has experience in this area and can point the way to charities, helplines etc that are useful in this kind of situation please let us know; or any advice would be welcome.

Eddy-Baby posted:Hello lovely people! If you are on FB have you looked in neighbourhood groups? There's a homeless guy in our town probably late 30s. In the past few years many people have tried to help him finding him accommodation, getting the council involved, gofundme, all-sorts but nothing has worked out and he's still on the streets (except during COVID). Have a look and see if anyone has tried to help him or is actively helping him already. I know 2 women in particular who spent many hours trying to help him until they couldn't cope emotionally anymore as they were untrained and everything kept breaking down because the guy basically wasn't interested in help. He doesn't even beg just pitches up on his sleeping bag in various covered walkways. But yes, contact council homeless team as well. Also, I know the US version of Sally Army is questionable in who it will help, but the UK Sally Army claims to help everyone regardless of faith, gender etc. Meanwhile maybe money or if he's near a sandwich shop maybe ask him something like 'Im getting a sandwich would you like one'. (Trying to sound unpatronising here!) Cheshire East also has a rough sleepers helpline don't know if you found it https://www.cheshireeast.gov.uk/housing/housing_options/homelessness/information-about-rough-sleepers.aspx Jaeluni Asjil fucked around with this message at 23:07 on Jun 10, 2023 |
