I'm living in Scotland now and its all just loving Mackies if you want fancy crisps. Problem is they're shite. Scot food is otherwise great, (moderately) better quality, (much) better portions, Haggis is delicious and they will make you a cheese sandwich in this country only the bread is burgers and its deep fried so they can almost do no wrong culinarily as far as I'm concerned. Mackie's crisps are poo poo though, sorry. Icecream is alright though. Also Scots don't seem to eat Cod but I don't know if thats just because they're extinct now but I am firmly in favour of the superiority of the white race as long as it applies only to battered fish.

Cod is a flavourless bottom-feeding fish. Why would you even bother when its delicious friend "haddock" exists?

Battered, however? Preposterous. As a vague attempt to avoid foodchat: What do you all reckon will come first: A) the complete sale of the state and social services or B) WW3? As an optimistic new years prediction I reckon WW3 will get us before G4S buys the moon.

I don't think the situation in Russia will get much worse, but then I really didn't expect them annexing a bunch of poo poo and having a severe lurch into even more severe nationalism at this point last year so I'm gonna go with the ruble is gonna slide again in the new year with oil prices and putey pute will be forced to either pull out, double down or try another landgrab somewhere before the cash reserve dry up and the business/state interests he represents coup him. Not WW3, but certainly the chance of an accidental chain-fuckup frying us all alive rose a bit over the last year, so things can't be all that bad!

2015 Predictions: GE Labour minority government w/ loose coalition with SNP / Lib votes Extremely dysfunctional parliament Libs get ritually slaughtered a la Apocalypto Lots of angry bloo bloo blooing about English representation UKIP takes 3-4 million GE votes Economy Continued anaemic growth 1-2% Cuts Probably no Euro crisis unless major world crisis occurs with China's economy or similar Foreign Policy Labour is forced into standoffish policy with Europe, increasing our contemptible appearance in Europe Ed will be a massive soft touch and probably get slammed for making GBS threads up the 'special relationship' and being soft on Russia/Islamic Terror/whatever else is next

You'd probably need both Spain and Italy to go to really poo poo up the EZ, and the only chance they do that at the same time is if someone manages to blow them up at the same time. There's far too much at stake for the EZ to be allowed to actually die and not just get wound down as right-wing rejection of them becomes major political capital. Everyone's going to be on life support so the Germans can get rich, the French can farm, and we can moan.

LemonDrizzle posted:Your timing is interesting here given that Greece just blew up again. "Blew up" might be overstating it, but it's interesting to see how hysterically the money markets have reacted to the vaguest possibility that Greece might not be willing to feed a whole generation into the austerity grinder. If nothing else it's very revealing of how nothing has actually been addressed or fixed in the wake of the Horrendous Debt Kablooie - indeed how we're probably in a worse position than we were in 2008, because we completely pissed away the chance to fix things along with the ability to do so with our "solution" to the last one. If Greece really do rebel and take the nuclear option (leave the Euro, devalue the new Drachma, and ride it out for five years) then that's probably the end of the Euro. It'll hurt them, and hurt them badly, but at this point perma-austerity is probably hurting them worse.

As far as Eurozone left wing parties go, Syriza are quite interesting. Not sure they can influence the likes of the IMF and the ECB though. The markets panicking today isn't that big of a deal really, I'd be more worried if they didn't.

As a result, Greece is taking one squarely in the rear end for the team. I don't think it's as clear-cut as right-left (as always with European matters). Obviously the Right are broadly pro-Euro as it's a) good for business and b) a handy way of beating up proles. The Left don't really have a clear angle of attack on it because most of them end up in BLOODY FOREIGNERS territory really quickly. However we're now seeing a radical Rightist movement across Europe (from Golden Dawn to UKIP) that are vehemently and virulently anti-Europe, perhaps unsurprisingly given the pain the Euro has undoubtedly caused in poorer nations. So instead you're getting this weird, fragmented series of strange bedfellows both nationally and internationally, and to be honest that worries me more than straight-up Neo-Nazi stuff because there's all sorts of unintended consequences likely to fall out of it.

And a lot of people will call you a xenophobe or something idiotic like that, not that it matters.

To be honest a pro-Europe (in the current free movement of people and capital) anti-Euro (or more widely anti-centralised/federalist) platform would be self-contradictory for a leftist party, because it exposes the non-capitalist classes to massive exploitation while removing one of the strongest barriers to that exploitation (a centralised currency, or rather the more unified political control it represents, is one of the few ways to reverse the upward transfer of wealth the current situation causes, even if right now that control is being used for the opposite outcome).
