The Englishman is the most reactionary creature alive, and no appeals to reason or morality will persuade him away from his enthusiastic embrace of barbarism. Exterminate the brutes.

Tingfinder posted:Is it just because he's a socialist? Yes. If Jezza and friends were more charismatic and relatable, then that would only amplify the terror of him - and the media environment would become even more nasty. The Guardian is owned by a private trust company. The entire British media takes their marching orders from people who are violently opposed to any genuine socialist advocacy.

That's really bringing up an interesting question. Is golf the most expensive sport in terms of labor and resources? Because all of the water, land, and groundskeeping that's necessary just to maintain the ability to play has to be astronomical even compared to a sport like baseball, where you can just play on astroturf.

Fallen Hamprince posted:hockey might be more The Bell Centre in Montreal is the largest hockey arena in the world, and it only takes up a field size of 72,000 square meters. The average golf course takes up 75,000 square meters, but whereas a hockey arena is mostlly inert concrete, steel, and asphalt, a golf course has tens of thousands of square meters of turf that have to be maintained with a highly regulated amount of water constantly.

BrutalistMcDonalds posted:Golf is also the most expensive sport to play, hence the elite reputation. I'd say that's due primarily to the social costs creating unnecessary barriers to entry. What's of concern regarding golf are the real physical and labor costs associated with it.

Tacky-rear end Rococco posted:Perhaps it's nothing but Blairs, Trudeaux, and Obamas from here on out and we should just get used to it. That's a pretty dumb assumption, considering 2/3 have already lead their parties into ruin. The bottom line here is that England, like the rest of Europe, is in the throes of a reactionary wave - and it's going to take a ton of loving up by a Tory government before enough of them stop believing in "common sense" and vote for anything else.

Concerned Citizen posted:48% of voters wanted to stay, perhaps a party that represents those 48% might be more popular than one that says "well we're in favor of self-destructing in a more gentle way" 35% of Labour voters also voted to Leave, so should the Labour party tell its own constituents that they won't be represented? Referendums aren't enforced proportionally. A party that acts against the interests of a democratic mandate isn't democratic. It also doesn't follow logically at all that a party which overturns the results of a referendum to represent a minority will somehow become more popular.
