Zephro posted:idk, according to the Trump thread they've just basically declared war on Iran This is terrifying if there's any truth to it. It's not that America can't overpower Iran, it's that Iran's military is so much better than what they faced in Iraq and Afghanistan that they will end up using much more ordnance and blowing up large portions of cities. They won't be able to just surgically strike targets. They're gonna have to cruise missile the poo poo out of them. The civilian casualties would be huge.

Well. gently caress you Labour. Now do I vote Plaid Cymru in a Wales that is increasingly right wing and more likely to vote UKIP than respect it's right to exist as a devolved state?

Skinty McEdger posted:A researcher I know said this isn't an uncommon sentiment at the commons at the moment. The way she put it was that you vote, get labeled by Farage and the Mail as an enemy of the people, and then the next time you're mentioned by either it's to say that no one could have forseen the attack upon you on the streets and they certainly had nothing to do with it. Well it's game over then. The papers not only control the narrative but directly control our politicians.

marktheando posted:Really Labour are totally hosed now, they should just call it a day. They aren't the party of the working classes, or of the metropolitan elite. Corbyn can't even give a simple pro-gay rights statement without loving everything up and offending people, it's incredible. Even Trump can manage that! I wonder if any Lib dems have the critical thought to realise this would be their time if they hadn't made themselves unelectable. Say what you like about Corbyn's Labour, they didn't make a deal that resulted in loving an entire generations life up for no actual gain. *Looks at brexit vote* Hmm.

If I was to be cynical I think it more likely that they just won't support anything May does because Brexit is their baby. Some of UKIP must believe that the Tories stole their moment.

That and we don't have any actual quality writers. This is what happens when everyone in entertainment has to go to the same university and be molded the same way.

It's not about wanting anything to fail. If it's a "success" in that the economy is fine the problem is all the deregulation that's going to happen. We might have an economy but your food is full of mercury and you can't go to the hospital for treatment because you can't afford the new private health service. I can totally see "brexit" working economically but failing socially. But no one will give a gently caress about the social impacts and after a few years of dying of toxic contaminants in food, it'll be the new norm.

Are there really no other ways to tackle the housing crisis other than destroying green belts? Everyone is very flippant about them but I don't see the UK turning into megacity 1 being a very good solution. Especially in terms of mental health.

mfcrocker posted:I'm not gonna store this post up for 3-4 years to spring it on you when we see the white paper for the Business Freedoms Act (2021), but you're a loving daftie if you think the Working Time directive survives much beyond the repeal act, a Brexit-led recession hitting businesses and the inevitable Tory victory in 2020. I know the electorate are a bunch of stupid mad dogs but I don't think it's reasonable to predict that Brexit is the complete disaster we suspect it will be AND have the Tories walking into power in 2020. If we hit full on recession we can count on 24 hour news channels to remind people every hour of every day.

Our politicians are really bad and being revolutionaries isn't really in their skill set. This situation is beyond them. There is no logical reason May, a career politician, is going to tank one of the strongest economies in the world. Simplest explanation? She doesn't know what she is doing. None of them do.

Choosing to go along a path they know will destroy the nation because they're suddenly scared of what the public think is what's made them go mad. May believes none of the poo poo she has to spout daily. It's a farce.

It's really simple. You shouldn't feel particularly patriotic about the UK. It's done lots of bad poo poo, is not sorry and is currently doubling down on making everyone unhappy. But that doesn't mean you should go around calling for its destruction either. It's why I found Scottish nationalists so distasteful at the height of the independence vote. There were lots of people openly happy about the "destruction of the UK". But as with any destruction, it means people are going to get hosed over. Be careful what you wish for. The UK getting its "just desserts" will also mean more strife for the poorest in our society. Most likely more death as people fall down the cracks. Or to put it another way: Hating your own nation is basically making GBS threads where you sleep.
