Julio Cruz posted:High-speed rail is the other way to cut right down on intra-UK flights but of course we can't do that because ~the fields~ Selfishly I'd settle for some of the sweet electrification of the Highland tracks. I get excited by the mere prospect of knocking 15 minutes off the journey from Inverness to Glasgow. ISeeCuckedPeople posted:The airlines would all convene together to do massive price hikes and blame the party who removed the subsidies and they would lose the next election based off that attack. Think you're over-estimating how important flying is in peoples lives. Reminder that Britain is actually not a big island.

Macarius Wrench posted:Someone who wants to physically mutilate themselves to reconfigure their physical body sounds like they have a mental health problem. At least that's how I personally see it. Its an extreme version of someone getting a nosejob and I'm against that so... Yes, and that makes you a oval office who has said absolutely nothing worth listening to. You should get some sort of plastic surgery to fix your broken brain. Ideally by having molten plastic injected directed into your brain with the aim of making it work better than it currently does. Because it would at least stop you being a oval office.

Macarius Wrench posted:Fine just loving drop it, it was a off hand comment that a bunch of loving white knights have rushed to defend. Jesus loving Christ. Eh, no one asked you to post here. If you aren't willing to defend or reconsider deeply reactionary views, this thread probably isn't for you. As Ober says, we're the loony left SJW echo chamber, where things like racism & transphobia get you telt. So either gently caress off out of UKMT or stop being a oval office. It's not a particularly difficult thing to do, if you want to be a oval office in an echo chamber of cunts who don't get challenged on their cuntbaggery, I hear Reddit is welcoming.

OwlFancier posted:Apparently I like grime?? Grime is legitimately cool. There's a great independent, DIY attitude through a lot of the scene, by necessity because until recently it was pretty overlooked despite the occasional breakthrough of a Dizzee Rascal or a Lethal Bizzle. And incidentally, grime era Dizzee Rascal remains loving rad. And then guys like JME & Skepta are willing to be activists as well as musicians. It's genuinely exciting new British music. What other British scene is nearly as vibrant as grime in TYOOL 2017? Remember that time an idiot Labour Culture Minister dismissed the entire scene as racist? Ahh, Blairism. forkboy84 fucked around with this message at 14:55 on Jun 1, 2017 |

Hold me UKMT, I've decided to watch This Week because Akala was on it and he's always worth listening to & currently Ed Balls is saying the BBC isn't part of the elite media establishment? And Andrew Neill is salty at Akala suggesting that there is a media bias when Corbyn is continually roasted over his "links" to the IRA in the 1980s while Theresa May isn't getting nearly the same treatment over the revelations about the Manchester bomber being sent to Libya by the Tory government, which Theresa May was a senior member of. I know I shouldn't expect anything different from this show, but it's still annoying, even if Akala is good. jBrereton posted:No, she's just not turning up in this campaign. It is fascinating. If she's still in charge when the Scots have Indyref2, the union will break up, because she is an absent fuckwit. It raises a good philosophical question: can you have the back of someone who has misplaced their spine?

Gonzo McFee posted:https://twitter.com/DanParks147/status/870633217677766656 As I said on the last page, Labour's best result there was 39% back in the days when the Liberals didn't even run a candidate. 2015's 35% was their 2nd best result. It's be genuinely fantastic for Labour to win Hallam for the first time ever & throw that snake on the dole at the same time.

Ewan posted:You've for a long time held the view that Corbyn is harming the Labour party by staying in power because he is widely seen as unelectable. Letting him fight a General Election and suffer a loss would finally demonstrate this and then he should resign, and a new leader could recover Labour back to being electable. Fair enough: whether or not people agree with this stance, you've been pretty clear and consistent in this view. He's answered this before. He thinks that any result where the Conservatives are still in government means Corbyn should resign. even if Labour get a bigger share of the vote than they got in 2005.

Miftan posted:What song is that, by the way? Yeah, as mentioned previously it was Rock For Sustainable Capitalism. I do like a bit of NOFX. The Decline is amazing in that it's an 18 minute song by a pop punk band that never once wears out its welcome, which shouldn't be possible. But I do think their attempts at politics are really dumb (Fat Mike supports the Dems because he is a liberal rather than "they are the least worst option") & really love Propagandhi (the run of albums from Today's Empires, Tomorrow's Ashes to their last album is pretty crazy in the consistency. And I do have some fondness for the first two records and songs like The Only Good Fascist Is A Very Dead Fascist are great fun, but they are a bit rough in spots). Super excited for the new album due to drop this summer. Although I'm not the best one for punk, mostly I don't have any clue on contemporary stuff and just stick to listening to the classics like Crass, Dead Kennedys, Black Flag, Reagan Youth, all that jazz. Though the last Nails album was cool as hell if you want to count powerviolence as punk. Christ, that's a thing. I wonder what an interview between Campbell & Owen Jones now would be like. forkboy84 fucked around with this message at 17:59 on Jun 2, 2017 |

Intrinsic Field Marshal posted:I oppose the regressive left's interpretation of social justice Define regressive left, because right now it seems like a made up buzzword to sum up a couple of 17 year olds on Tumblr who don't actually exist in the real world. That seems like a bad reason to attach yourself to a movement of racists & xenophobes & misogynists. Regarde Aduck posted:People are so self hating about SA but it's still one of the few tolerable forums on the internet. It's only ironic self-hatred. I used to think the idea of paying for a forum was dumb & then all forums died & also I realised the pay barrier keeps a lot of dipshits out which makes SA really quite OK aside from a few certain areas.

Intrinsic Field Marshal posted:Those who seek to limit and curtail the freedoms of a individual in order to meet their collectivist/marxist aims. Those will use underhanded means to try and destroy ideological opponents while claiming its in the name of equality and tolerance. Anyone who picks the freedom to say friend of the family over the freedom from starvation & homelessness is an arsehole imo. goddamnedtwisto posted:I'd say anyone standing on a national single issue is completely wasting their time and money just because of the way Parliament is structured - even if he were somehow to be elected he's basically going to get to file a couple of early-day motions which have the same legislative power as a Facebook post. While I guess it's not strictly crazy, it's certainly wildly unrealistic even in the best-case scenario. Can't remember if someone posted this in here recently or not, but it's funny.

The very slim hope of the Tories not having a majority rest on her continuing to be a terrible campaigner, which she can't do if she goes radio silent. Prince John posted:There's a kernel of truth to this story I think, albeit I don't know whether the effects were ever observed in humans or just fish. Apologies for the Mail source but they are quoting the Environment Agency's scientists: scientists do not yet know whether this is affecting people seems like the key words here.

I saw someone mention it on Twitter, but I couldn't quite believe it was real. That has to be the biggest whopper told all campaign, the snap election was called because she thought she'd increase her majority significantly. Which is fine, that's how UK politics work. But lying about it is weird.

He has a couple of part-time employees who do 2 days a week, about 7 hours a day, & they earn about as much in a month as I did working full-time in a minimum wage job so I don't think he's an rear end in a top hat. He only started on his own because he was working for another small business owner who was clearly underpaying him & his colleagues.

Oberleutnant posted:It was one bad interview session at 9pm on a friday night when everybody's out on the lash. Theresa May has had this every single time she's been in front of a camera. I wouldn't stress over it too much tbh. The nukechat was depressing as gently caress, however. Yeah, but he already needed a flawless performance & May loving up to have even a slim chance of winning. Momentum is a funny thing & one iffy performance could be enough to make people who were wavering stop wavering & go back to voting for the Nuclear Armageddon Party, coz it's a strong & stable pair of hands hovering over the red button. It's shite, but he's coming from so far behind, & FPTP is such a trashfire system, that you were looking at a miracle to get a Labour majority, but even a Labour minority is a seriously slim chance. And this little is enough to make sure we're not getting that unfortunately. Irony Be My Shield posted:Corbyn is too honest for his own good sometimes. Just say you'd retaliate with a heavy heart, not like anyone would be alive to call you out on it if you don't. They'd just call him a liar because we all know his stance on using nukes. It's a no-win question.
