 UKMT February 2016 Say what you like about the fascists, at least they February is Valentine's Day Month Marxists are Red Tories are Blue The Condition of the Working Class in 2016 is Bad And That Includes You  What happened over January? • A bunch of good people died, including forums poster Fluo and some famous people.  • Tata Steel decided that South Wales has way too many jobs at the moment and decided to cut a bunch in Port Talbot. • The Draft Communications Data Bill (Snooper's Charter) and Psychoactive Substances Bill (Ban Everything Charter) continue to move forward with seeming inevitability. Look forward to April's thread where air is banned. • Equal Civil Partnerships got blocked by the High Court, but an appeal is allowed and the companion bill continues to move through the commons. • Hammer Horror caricature Iain Duncan Smith continues to spend more money than he's saving on fighting challenges against 'Fit to Work' policies and under-occupancy penalties. • Some PUA guy who believes that rape should be legal on private property has announced a bunch of events across the UK where he encourages people to meet him on private property. • Jeremy Corbyn continued to refuse to name his cat, cementing his unelectability. • There was some snow. That's vaguely not poo poo, right? Unless you had to get anywhere. • This got added to a school politics slideshow somewhere, in case you are not sure if you are Literally Hitler or not:  Previous Threads UKMT January 2016 - Not The Best Month UKMT December 2015 - Happy Xmas (War Is Over (lolno)) UKMT November 2015 UKMT October 2015 UKMT September 2015 - David Cameron (FADP) Pedogeddon Thread Fash Thread #ukgoons on synIRC, in which crispix encourages us to mock Question Time. Finally, please keep the following points in mind: quote:1. It's not a person's fault if they are poor; And as an endcrust to all this:  e: For all those who want to do something in memory of Fluo, please read the details below (thanks Serotonin): quote:David Bridges Funeral is the 18th Feb 1.30pm at South Bristol Crematorium. All are welcome Please come dressed as you feel comfortable. Black is not a requirement. Guavanaut fucked around with this message at 20:39 on Feb 7, 2016 |

NO gently caress YOU DAD posted:I'd like to think that coming out of the EU and restricting the free movement of labour from the continent might make people less awful when it comes to accepting people like refugees, etc, but I doubt that would be the case and we'd just end up even worse off. EU policy is essentially a big "no blacks or Asians" sign but it's in 24 different languages so it can claim to be multicultural. I agree that I don't think everyone in the UK would become magically less racist overnight if there was a Brexit, but there is a big issue there that I don't think either side wants to address. The anti side has become dominated by rightist nationalists who believe all immigration is a threat to the purity of our vital bodily fluids, and the pro side is mostly handwaving liberals talking about how it's not racist to impose limits on (non-EU) immigration while allowing the EU club special preference. There is a strain of far less overt Eurocentric white separatism in parts of the pro-EU camp that is far less overt than the English or British nationalists but it is still there.

There are plenty of places that speak British English that are hot and will allow you to have a beach and a pool without disrupting local culture, and some of them will even allow you to whine about foreign influence unironically.  Some of them might require you to learn additional languages as well and not be a total racist until you're within your own home though, the tyranny.

"And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat." But more generally, God allows the use of all drugs as long as they don't make you chat poo poo like a prick.

If I want you to put a slogan that you find offensive on a cake, which you would deny as a service for someone no matter what their gender or race or sexuality, then afaik that isn't covered by anti-discrimination law. Although the EU claimed that they discriminated against him based on his 'political beliefs', not his sexuality, so if so I'm going to find some Northern Irish bakers to inquire about green white and orange cakes with a picture of Gerry Adams and rubber ducks shooting flames out of their beaks on either side.

Prince John posted:Interestingly, 75% of British turkeys and 25% of British chickens are now killed by Controlled Atmosphere Systems which sounds vastly more humane and reliable than decapitation or all of the dodgy aspects in practice of electrical stunning. The stunning is permitted by halal as long as it's still the blade that kills them, so any that do die during the stunning have to be sold as non-halal.

Syncopated posted:Assange needs to go to court in Sweden, what is the alternative? Does he get a 'get out of jail free' card because he is wanted by the US? He's in the same situation as someone who has been accused of a crime in the immediate aftermath of pissing off a large and powerful organized crime family. He needs to go to trial but it's not unreasonable for the judge to demand special measures, and not unreasonable for the accused to be wary about an appearance until those are in place.

XMNN posted:Inert gas asphyxiation is the way forward for everything imho  On the downside, it would mean that Assange never gets his day in court. On the plus side, it would have a positive effect on future rates sexual assault. On a serious note it'd seem like a fairly good way for state assisted suicide, as these things go. Until then there's always Max Dog Brewing. I think they showed that argon has less of an adverse reaction than nitrogen in birds. Sometimes nitrogen or carbon dioxide are used. Humans have no low oxygen reflex, but a high carbon dioxide reflex, so 'anything inert that isn't CO2 works', but that varies between species.

Or both. e: Palladium is cool.
