That's sensible right-wing antisemitism, not dangerous left-wing antisemitism like Hitler did.

Bobby Deluxe posted:Right. Google's not giving me anything useful, and you lot know things so I'm asking here. No differences in particular that I've ever heard of. If you're feeling a difference though you *must* speak to your GP and get them to write your prescription as branded Ventolin. Do not let them write it generically and then add 'ventolin brand please' in the notes afterwards. That does not count. If you have a good relationship with your pharmacy you can get away with asking them to swap it *before* you leave with it, but that won't always work and is highly dependent on the exact person you speak to and whether or not they have Ventolins kicking about. I'll do it if people ask but it's a lot, lot, lot easier if the prescription is branded. Good luck:)

Ventolin is pretty cheap and not really different in cost to any generic, they can do the same with Salamol which is about three times the cost but I guess compared to some stuff pretty cheap so they should be fine with it

The pharmacy do have ventolin, but they need to see it written as that on the prescription, so it sounds like I need to go back to the gp.

The Rwanda bill has been rejected at the House of Lords by a majority of 102  It's great seeing the one thing that Rishi focused on being blasted out of the water like this. He's not going to take it well, and I'm looking forward to his next round of interviews

Galloway is a dickhead but I can't deny that I find watching him run rings round the kind of decorum-brained journos who think "don't you respect the Prime Minister" is some sort of gotcha question highly entertaining

As said, Galloway is very useful when he's pissing off the people you hate. Thing is to never assume that that makes him a good person.

The House of Lords fill that weird gap where it's a completely undemocratic group of utter ghouls who wouldn't be anywhere near power if they didn't have money/connections/dirt on certain former PMs But because they're unelected ghouls they don't really give a poo poo about lobbying groups and occasionally give the Correct outcome. Obviously tiny Rishi can just force it through but it makes him sweat a bit, which is nice.

The Lords Spiritual have been some of the most vocally opposed to the Rwanda bill so will lol if Rishi tries to scrap the magic granddads and ends up disestablishing the Church.

Some folk on the dead bird site claim he's jumping on the pro-Palestine bandwagon but assuredly he is not. One of his ex wives was Palestinian. (Ed: to be clear I'm talking about Galloway's wife!) I do feel rather aggrieved when some on the left start plumping him (and Chris Williamson) in with Corbyn "he should start a party with Corbyn" type comments. Other than the Palestinian position, I cannot think he has much in common with Corbyn at all. Perhaps Corbyn could do with a few lessons in assertiveness & sticking it to the man from him but that's about all - but then he wouldn't be Corbyn would he. I think it highlights the point that people are more complicated than being 'left' or 'right', 'pro this' or 'anti that' and binary divisions are not helpful. I've found this with quite a lot of people I know, you'll start from a place of agreement on some issue eg Palestine and then as you push on they do shift and make you go "OMG" - I do know people with start from a pro-Palestine position and then do end up in a genuinely antisemitic place. Or say agreeing on various social issues then suddenly come out with 'women have a right to say who is allowed in the ladies' powder room' and all that implies (to clarify - they mean ban transwomen which would be apparent from further conversation).

The National American Woman Suffrage Association and Women's Christian Temperance Union were instrumental in getting segregation laws passed in the American South, leading to separate 'white' and 'colored' washrooms, so they might be anachronistic racists instead.

Galloway is very much a face-eating leopard of an MP (the cat metaphor is fully intentional here). Right now he's savaging people we don't like, so clap and cheer while it lasts, because he will happily turn on anyone who doesn't advance the agenda of one George Galloway MP.

It has to go back through the whole process, then be approved, then Royal Assent (whoever the Royal is in question by that time). Clock's ticking. Edit: if they're really determined and keep at it they can delay it a full year, which would absolutely spike Rishi's guns. feedmegin fucked around with this message at 19:30 on Mar 4, 2024 |

New conspiracy theory, queens's not dead, she just phased invisible into the UV part of the spectrum so we can't see her. Whenever Charles thinks he's sitting on one of the monarch chairs he's actually sitting on the queen, who is now oscillating around soft X-ray frequency. This is what caused his arse cancer.

If this goes ahead no doubt we will see the media trotting out Corbyn calling Hezbollah and Hamas "our friends", praising the antisemitic mural on social media, his forward in 'Imperialism: A Study' and any association with DYR.

I can imagine in the case of any woman who could tolerate to marry Nigel Farage it went from the 'acceptable racism' against Africans, Asians, Southern Europeans, and Slavs, to the 'unacceptable racism' against her.
