Those wacky coloureds, always eating curry and nothing but. Namibian curries, South Carolingian curries, third generation mixed Black British curries. Completely unsurprising that the oval office looks like a second rate Bernard Manning tribute act.

Coohoolin posted:Any legal goons want to weigh in on the actual illegality of sex-selective abortions? Abortion legislation doesn't seem to make it illegal beyond a doctor deciding whether it's a reasonable grounds. For whether it should be allowed, that all depends on your views on the right to abortion on demand. I'm not sure how you could have on demand but say 'except for that'. A blood test can give a reliable indication as early as 7 weeks, which is within the window where the whole thing can be done by medical instead of surgical procedure and isn't even a fetus, and I've no idea how you could even write legislation which says "you can take this pill if you don't want a baby, but not if you don't want a baby boy" without opening some giant  about protected groups status applying to the unborn.

jabby posted:The blood test to find out earlier is expensive and not widely used. But regardless of people's views on it, there really doesn't seem to be any way to prevent it which doesn't cause far more harm than it seeks to prevent, even if it is on paper not a valid reason. You can get the labwork done separately, and decide based on the results to terminate before it's even a surgical procedure, and the only way to stop that is invasive gatekeeping where the woman gets grilled about why exactly she feels that the pregnancy would be deleterious to her wellbeing. Is it even an issue in the UK outside of a handful of religious fundamentalists and people who took Valerie Solanas way too seriously?

DesperateDan posted:Abortion is a tabloid hot button issue, and the interfering religious turdswogglers may be few in number but they are well organised and very, very well funded. Both of those groups are very small in the UK, so I can't really see sex selective abortion as something that's happening at any scale.

Depends on the religion really. If it's part of a cultural orthodoxy that puts more emphasis on dowries and male heirs than on life beginning at conception then it's possible. It's also possible that what's going on in India is more to do with under reporting of female births, it's hard to get firm evidence outside of a few Telegraph style 'stings'. e: ^^ That too, but they're not the people being side-eyed when sex selective abortion is panicked over.

Except the Lib Dems have been openly center-right for a while now, and Corbyn is nowhere near far left. Now if there was a plan to get an actual far left leader in, that I could get behind.

Cerv posted:the BoE have put the tender for the contract to print their new £20s on hold, while they consider if it should be a requirement to use palm oil instead of animal byproduct for the small amount of fat involved in the process. Of course, there are religious objections to the specific type of animal used, which the palm oil will solve, and Britain is keenly aware of the effects of such things. They could always just make it from mutton tallow, which would be unobjectionable to Hindus, Sikhs, Muslims, and Jews, and it's the traditional animal for ritual temple sacrifice.

That's the ideal case, but if they switched to mutton tallow they could actually ritually sacrifice the sheep to be used on an altar in front of the building at the start of the fiscal year. It'd keep the tourists coming in, and it's by far one of the least odious things to be done in the name of British currency.

More like PISA poo poo. Seriously though, one of the big unintended consequences of the whole thing was the rephrasing of the entire educational model in terms of barrages of short term standardized tests. I'm not sure that an education system is 'world class' if all it's does is ensures that students can fulfill that.

Except they proved that if you just give homeless people homes and money that doesn't happen and it costs less in the long run. The current thinking appears to be that if you fine homeless people £1500 for being homeless then the problem will resolve itself and it won't just result in court costs for unpaid fines that will never be paid.

forkboy84 posted:Clearly there is no one simple answer to homelessness or it would no longer be a problem, but it's undeniable that actually improving the availability and quality of mental health issues to an even level with physical health issues would be a good starting point, and for a myriad of other problems too. It's far too easy in austerity-plus society to go from job lost to benefits sanctioned to can't make rent to couch surfing to being trapped outside the sphere of 'normalcy', and I'd be amazed if anyone could deal with that for any period of time without developing some degree of stress-induced illness, so a good amount of homelessness related mental health issues could be dealt with simply by providing a home, a fixed address where you can sleep, store stuff safely, and receive correspondence.
