Hello, dear
Re: Richard Madeley

I remember an interview where Coogan said that a lot of what Alan is comes from him channelling the unpleasant and ignorant thoughts that he sometimes has about the world and has to suppress

Richard has just never learned to do that, presumably

Did you already get to the part where people take a salary of gently caress all so they have a minimal income tax and NI burden, and then they just happen to also get dividends that would be roughly what their salary might have been except taxed at a lower rate and with no NI contribution at all?

Dividends aren't inherently scammy, they're just any profit or surplus left after reinvestment distributed to each shareholder according to the size of the share. That plus joint-stock and limited liability was the first thing that enabled businesses to be owned by anyone other than the fantastically wealthy, landed aristocracy, or secretive guilds.

It'd be quite hard to run any kind of co-op, worker owned company, or SACCO type system without those principles.

The problems come when a society decides that everything should be run like that and then there's no checks on the market. "We should run the water and sewers like a buisiness" is about as good an idea as "we should run this grocery store like a religion" or "we should run this power station like a school." Neoliberals gonna neolib though.

Firing Piers Morgan and instead getting Madeley to do his best Piers impression to an actual head of state.

I'd totally forgotten about that twat.... Madeley not Morgan.

I just checked out his wiki & this bit has to be a joke.

"He estimated that during a period of two years his father beat him with a stick about 25 times. The final and most vicious beating occurred when Richard was aged 10. His father ordered him to remove his shirt and then hit Richard "repeatedly, dementedly, with a stick."[1] The wounds he suffered kept him away from school. The abuse stopped when his mother, previously out at work so unaware of her husband's harsh discipline, told him that she would call the police if it happened again;[1][4] Madeley stated that after this, his father gave a full and frank apology and he never hit Richard again."

Not sure there's a less defensible costume choice than that.

You could probably excuse "Comedy generic Dad's Army German POW" at such an event, but short of painting their faces yellow and going as Unit 731 to throw dead rats at the Chinese restaurant "no these are the accurate national patches of SS international volunteers" is close to the top of giving the game away a bit lads.

I respect their right to show up in historically-accurate uniforms for a celebration of the 1940s so long as they understand that it also comes with the right to be blasted by a historically-accurate Sherman Firefly's 17-pounder cannon at the earliest possible opportunity.

That plus the 'anti-communism' bit (as in white power bands responding to rock against racism with rock against communism and pro-segregation protestors holding race-mixing is communism signs) makes the whole thing obvious what they're really about.

That said the seaside town could also do a 50s festival instead of a 40s one, that would stop the nazis and the people who think they fought in the blitz but were born in 1954. That might mean boomers taking a critical look at the country's WW2 obsession though. (Which seems to come entirely through the lens of mid 70s to early 80s culture. We regret to inform you that the It Ain't Half Hot Mum themed weekend is also racist.)

The 1950's festival would have the same guys in it but they would be wearing business suits and pointedly not talking about what they did in the 1940's festival you must have me confused with someone else.

I'll take a bunch of guys showing up as NASA scientists who claim to hate communism for different reasons over "incredibly detailed re-enactment of the elite war crimes people but curiously light on what they actually did," but they'd probably all just turn up as Enoch Powell instead.

That plus the 'anti-communism' defence of the SS means that they're definitely real life nazis who sincerely hold all the same NWO/Elders of Zion opinions as the actual SS leadership, rather than a bunch of cosplay edgelords who thought it would be funny to go to a 40s themed fête as the other guys.

They all speak in code and riddles like 1488 but they're all very transparent.
