nothing to seehere posted:3% inflation is, fiiiine, as long as the pound doesn't drop any further we're good, loans will just devalue themselves Pfft 3% is so loving goddamn low. I'm used to 40% inflation, your Tories have quite a ways to go to gently caress it up that badly, but they've got the talent for it, I'll give you that.

forkboy84 posted:Apologies for linking to The Sun but an interesting article on the Tories cutting one of their major manifesto pledges at the urging of the cabinet because the manifesto was too unpopular. The policy? No, not fox hunting, capping energy prices, one of the few decent proposals they had! "Hmm, people really didn't like our neoliberalist austerity garbage as much as we thought they would....... I KNOW! That's because it wasn't neoliberal ENOUGH!"

Don't really see what's so crazy about Sinn Fein being in front of Parliament. I mean, in Argentina you have the Montoneros which were rebel terrorists during the 70s/80s and then became the actual government during the Kirchner mandates.

Regarde Aduck posted:I'm all for blaming voters for the behaviour of the government but this is a bit far. You can't predict every rule, regulation and law the government will make, follow, ignore or remove. Unless the Tories were voted in with a manifesto of "implement poor fire standards" I think you might be talking poo poo. At some point, if a voter keeps voting in a party whose line is "reduce expenditure at all costs, destroying social spending and cutting taxes for the benefit of the rich", then at the third or fourth time they keep voting that same poo poo and seeing the same things happen, yeah I'd blame them a bit.

Honest question here, are protests on Parliament's doorstep really that rare here in the UK? Because I'm completely used to pickets and protests and poo poo being commonplace.

What a loving week. I'm disgusted at the double standards on handling the "mentally ill loner", and on the other hand: Okay, first day of Brexit negotiations! I'm sure we'll get a great deal for Brit- quote:British negotiators have capitulated to key European demands for a phased approach to Brexit talks, agreeing to park discussions on free trade until they have thrashed out the cost of the multibillion-euro UK divorce settlement. Yeah we sure showed 'em

As much as I would loving love for this whole Brexit madness to quietly go away, we have to accept reality - it's gonna happen, there's no stopping it at this point. The best possible outcome is a "soft" Brexit where we remain part of the single market (also give passporting to London so the finance industry doesn't up and leave) and we reach an actually reasonable agreement for EU nationals living here - for obvious reasons that is the second most important issue to me, the first being that the economy doesn't get destroyed.

So not even untrue, just phrased to imply the complete opposite of what happened.

May: "Actually we will make EU nationals living in the UK wear golden stars on their chest and they will get some rights" EU: "No" May: "Okay we will let them have the privilege of maybe perhaps being able to accumulate 5 years of residence and become British citizens but <vague mumbling>" EU: "No" May: "Okay we will let them sign up for a very streamlined process of the current citizenship one, and they keep almost all rights except voting" EU: "Close, but no" Personally, I'm fine with registering but man is May loving vague about the details, and that's loving dangerous in the long term when the hidden catches start appearing.

https://www.gov.uk/guidance/status-of-eu-nationals-in-the-uk-what-you-need-to-know This is loving garbage and I'm fuming. "Temporary permission to stay" until I rack up five years? That pretty much means I won't be able to switch jobs during that interval (and I better not take any long holidays!), and everything about this is so loving uncertain argh! Also, "as streamlined as possible" will probably be just 60 loving goddamn pages instead of 85 or whatever. Definitely will end up having to hire an immigration lawyer and paying thousands in fees, how the gently caress are people on minimum wage supposed to do that? Also this means I will have to apply for temporary permit, then settled status, then British citizenship because lol I don't loving trust them to keep that settled status around forever. loving tories. This is the general feeling I'm getting from the government:

While I am a bit disappointed about the whip thing, I also understand that there's just no loving way at this point that we get a Norway-style deal so it doesn't really matter all that much. Unfortunately that also means we're turbo-hosed

I've gone over the problem a lot, and discussed it with people who know about power generation a lot (some from these very forums), and honestly, if we don't go full nuclear and stop burning coal/oil like idiots, we're done as a civilization, it's as simple as that. There's not enough time for a magic fusion silver bullet (that in truth is not 100% a silver bullet, really), or advancing and using renewables in the amount necessary. Right now, we could just go full nuclear and that would solve the problem. Like, if we got our poo poo together as a species, we could do it right this very moment. We don't even need to wait for Liquid Fluorine Thorium Reactors, modern uranium nuclear is more than good enough.

coffeetable posted:Onshore wind and photovoltaic solar are already at grid parity in huge chunks of the world. Solar in particular has come out of loving nowhere: The future would indeed be solar, but for that you need a future in the first place and if we don't go nuclear first, there's not going to be a solar-power future.
