It was more than 25 I think and yes it was due to plane crashes. Keep in mind that there were thousands and thousands of flights, often at night, and in bad weather, and there was nothing like the same grade of ILS etc. as nowadays. jBrereton has issued a correction as of 17:34 on May 14, 2017 |

rudatron posted:It's not clear exactly how many refugees climate crises are going to create. But I don't even think it's necessarily the introduction of more people that's the problem, it's the total failure to integrate the immigrants into the already existing culture & society. The reason people are hosed off is that the communities that are the worst equipped to handle the introduction of a bunch of new people, especially other poor people, are the places where new refugees and immigrants are making their homes, because the housing is so cheap relative to the rest of the UK. You can get a terraced house in say Doncaster for like fifty grand. 20 minutes down the train line in York you're looking at five, six, times that. But if you're stuck there because the wages aren't good enough to move out of or you've got family that can't or won't move, what you see is the only people with any energy and talent loving off asap and them being replaced with immigrants, so you basically get increasingly low-achievement white locals sharing space with like second or third generation pakistani civil war refugees, Yugoslav war refugees, gypsies who've been forced off the road, and then Eastern european guys who are nothing like the rest of the people in terms of aims, but get a house for them and a few colleagues because in relative terms it's very cheap. And because it's the north of England, there is absolutely gently caress all being built that isn't supposed to directly benefit London, and large parts of the local government is made up of paradropped southerners because Labour doesn't respect them. To Labour, those people are The Demographics, as Democrats would say about immigrants they don't respect, have an understanding of, or do very much for, other than say their opponents are worse for them. And all that combined has made the whole region very hostile to neoliberal politics which has hollowed out their communities, which is why they went for Brexit in a big way.

rudatron posted:Okay, but the migrant issue isn't being framed as a 'lack of affordable housing' issue, it's 'they're competing with natives for limited resources so stop them coming here'. The obvious answer to a housing crisis is to just build more affordable public housing, and the conservatives are the party least likely to do that. But they're the ones gaining. Again, that isn't a failing of multiculturalism; multiculturalism is what you get in London and other well developed areas as well as poorer areas, the issue is that there isn't any money, and those places have progressively been designated as toxic areas to dump people you don't respect in, much like the very anti-multicultural suburbs of France which were positively designed to create ghettoised communities.

rudatron posted:You say 'its not an issue of resources', but later say there's not enough money. You say it's not multiculturalism that's the problem, but then immediately say that migrant labor showing up, is making the area alienating to the people already there. Isn't the fact that that alienation is being felt, and driving anti-migrant politics/brexit, itself proof of that failure? You keep contradicting yourself. The alienation is happening mainly because of a complete lack of will to support local people who have been there a long time (and to some extent that includes second- and third-generation immigrants in those towns). You don't tend to have the same problems in better-off areas that have high-paid, high-skilled foreign workers alongside high-paid, high skilled local workers. Cambridge is not Slough, or Doncaster, or Wakefield. That happens in places with multiculturalism, like the UK, and in places where there is a strong nationalist and secular culture, like France. In both places it isn't really multiculturalism or laïcité that's failing, it's that certain places in those countries are being failed. quote:Imagine the following scenario: a disaster occurs somewhere else in the uk, the people living there have to move, and they do. There would of course be disruption, but the essentially nobody would demand that they stay in that disaster zone - rather, stresses these intra-migrants produce would just be the a result of that disaster, so any problems would encourage support of government intervention with resources. That's not happening here, instead, they're just being pitted against each other. Why? Lack of integration. That has nothing to do with multiculturalism.

Yes I agree. None of the new theoretically good things are actually new promises by the Tories. One of their first budgets, maybe the first or second Autumn budget, had a line in about rebuilding any sold council housing that has just 100% not materialised in the least. They also managed to change the discourse about the minimum wage by slightly increasing it and calling it the National Living Wage (which is a wholly different thing). I don't see why they won't walk back on worker's rights, either.

Venuz Patrol posted:*spends multiple decades insisting that a parliamentary system allows for multi-party politics where every political ideology is represented* Lot of people voted Lib Dem in 2010 basically because of the Iraq War and being tired of an increasingly stagnant Labour government. I doubt very many of them thought the LDs would prefer to work with the Tories to bludgeon local government, further impoverish the disabled, and set the stage for the Brexit referendum.

In fact, as we've seen over the last couple of decades, they aggregate over time into a small number of companies, with diverse interests themselves that conflict with the public good.
