We need an age cap. If your average life expectancy means you probably won't last a full term, then you don't get a vote. Sensible older people will see the logic, it will be the OLD, LOUD, AND FRIGHTENED who kick off about it and they are exactly the people we want to exclude. Boomer generation are now firmly in this category. Will cut out all of the bullshit where governments build policy around people who are nearly dead because they know they are the biggest voting block, and force them to concentrate on the youth and long term policy. My nan is 90 today , she's not old, venerable and wise. she can't figure out how her boiler works and organised a boycott of a local pub because they put the Wednesday pensioners special up by £1 without giving anyone warning. According to my nan It would have been ok if they had told everyone a few weeks before, but because they only put it on the board on the Monday their business had to fail (which it did) as a punishment or something(????). These people can vote.

Namtab posted:Happy birthday to this guys nan Thanks, I have an hour of freedom before I have to go to a racist old ladies birthday party. I will have to politely sit through much twittering about how May is wonderful and that she will save us from "the browns" whilst wondering at what point she will work out that I'm mixed race. It's been 37 years and the woman still hasn't clocked it, I'm convinced she thinks I just tan well.

Seaside Loafer posted:Anyone know much about the whole bother with fishing quotas? My know nothing man in the pub thought is surely even fisherman understand that its there for a reason, ie to not fish the fish to extinction so we can carry on fishing. Is there some sort of nationalistic annoyance, as in 'the bloody french get more and its decided from bloody brussels' etc. The problem is that we abide by our quotas and others ignore them, so when our brave boys of the sea go to fish in an area there is nothing but scraps left for them. That's not simply rah rah gently caress the Spanish, it's something that genuinely does need to get addressed, but tends to get lost in all of the fake wolf crying.

Namtab posted:I've said this before, but if the far right you support with bollocks like bleating about "cultural Marxism" and "the regressive left" win, they will come after you. The autistic are no safer from the fash than the browns or Jews. You are advocating an ideology that ultimately hates you. Don't forget our old friends sterilisation and castration. It always amazes me that the kind of people who support the far right on the internet simply do not comprehend that they would either be seen as cannon fodder, or the very first under the knife if the real fash ever came into power.

Namtab posted:Im late as hell but I can answer this. Baby checks/one-stop checks can (mostly) only pick up those caused by a genetic disorder. A learning disability is (medically) characterised by Absolutely, I was reacting to her garbled bollocks that made it sound like she has no clue about the difference between any non-physical disabilities and mental health issues. I was wishing somone had come back to her and asked her how funnelling resources into schools would help children with Down's syndrome or ASD with learning difficulties who already had diagnosis and are in special schools. I'm seeing nothing that would reverse the problems the Tory party has created when they decided to cancel respite funding because of "austerity" meaning we are all in it together or whatever bollocks they spouted while giving theselves a pay rise. Nurse should have hit her with that as well.

Maugrim posted:Small point but current recommendation for children with Down's Syndrome is that they go to regular schools if possible as the evidence indicates it helps their development if they learn alongside typical peers. For that to happen and be effective there does need to be funding/support in place. And yet strangely despite May's claims I do not trust the Tories to deliver it. Is it now. How much of this evidence came to light after the Tory party discovered just how expensive special schools are? Cases should be assessed on an individual basis, it is absolutely horrifying that government and council pen pushers get to override actual medical professionals, and it's nothing short of evil that some areas won't even start the diagnosis process for children with ASD until they are 3, learning difficulties or not. If you show me somone who thinks a child with Down's syndrome would do better in a poor inner city school than they would in a special school then I'll show you a oval office.

Namtab posted:Development is about more than education, it's also a social thing. Having people with downs in mainstream schools, at least at primary level with the appropriate support in place, is a good thing. It also helps normalise their existence which is good given that ld issues outside of autism are basically never discussed outside of a scandal like winterbourne. I too am speaking as an actual medical professional. In our area they are supposed to take the evidence presented by medical professionals and follow their recommendations, in your area it might be different. I'm not looking at every single school like it's a wonderful nurturing environment. Inner city schools have horrendous problems with bullying, the worst of them have problems with knife crime. As I said it's a case by case thing. Of course some children do fine with one on one support, but putting a vulnerable child with downs or severe learning difficulties into one of those sink schools is like throwing them to the wolves. They could of course be put into a unit within the school, but in many schools that's where the special needs children are kept for their own saftey for most of the school day. They only get to use the rest of the school's facilities when the other children are not using them. You are also being very unfair to how well special schools manage socialisation and life building skills. They often do a much better job than mainstream schools, especially at secondary school age. It's genuinely offence and wrong to belittle what they do. The reason special schools are so expensive per child is that this is how much it costs to properly educate and do therapy for those children. Having all the therapists in one place, a school nurse, and a GP, assigned to one place makes more sense than having them roam around different mainstream schools or, worse, having the child have to leave school to go to an appointment somewhere else. Only starting the process at three, no matter how obvious it is is evil. You can pick up on it very early, if a baby does not make eye contact for example. My son had a diagnosis at 18 months old. It is absolutely crucial that therapy starts as early as possible and that they end up in the correct school environment. You start diagnosis at three it could be a year before they even get an appointement, then it will take up to two years for an actual diagnosis to happen. That makes it six years old. You know what they don't need to provide now? ASD nurseries, or one on one support for nursery age children. It has absolutely nothing to do with developmental levels, they are just using that as an excuse to save money,

I know I'm late to this discussion but I was waiting for the ghouls to sod off before reading the thread. About this shoot to kill thing. If your attackers have knives then you don't need to shoot to kill unless they have the knife aimed directly at somone's throat, which is unlikely because people will be running around screaming. You aim at their legs if at all possible. You get shot in the leg you are hitting the deck and you can't stab people if you are on the ground. Mr plod is less likely to hit members of the public in the head, and they can get the bad guys into custody afterwards. The  in this is that modern terrorists use texts and the internet so much that they no longer need to actually talk to them to get the information they need, and a nice clean execution avoids giving them the publicity of a trial or the possibility that they will continue to operate within prison.

oxford_town posted:Does it make much of a difference? The graun readership is pretty solidly pro-Corbyn anyway. Yes it makes a huge difference. The front page of newspapers is the best advertising there is for a political party. You walk past a newspaper stand and you will see the Tory press have had big bold eye catching writing on the front page praising May and the Tory party right from day 1. The supposed Labour press have had gently caress all supporting Corbyn or Labour on their front pages until now, and it's all because the petty blairite wankers couldn't face seeing a left winger in charge.

Derbyshire Times did that the week after the election was called and their twitter was choked with people telling them to gently caress off. They responded to An Angry Letter the next week with some bullshit about how they were politically neutral and then three pages later they had big pictures of May going round some Clay Cross factory pointing at stuff.

Dennis Skinner just told everyone that the problem with Eastern Europeans and displaced people coming over here these days is that they are not joining unions, so they can't be helped by them to get fair treatment and wages, and that it's people like (Sports directs) Mike Ashley's fault that there is antagonism. He's the hero we need but do not deserve.

Skinner may be anti-eu but he's always been pro-union and workers rights first and foremost. His line is that if they are legally here then their worker's rights should be protected and the best people to do that are the Unions. He's absolutely right about sports direct, these people are here legally and not being paid minimum wage, working too many hours, and on 0 hour contracts. Any complaints gets them fired which leaves them totally buggered and in lovely illegally maintained housing with rents far above the regional average. The people of Clay Cross don't like the poles renting all the housing, but even the die hard racists will admit that they are not "working here and sending money home" because they can barely afford to feed themselves. It's slave labour and it's here because the Tory Party allowed this company to operate in the UK without paying taxes.

I'm going to my local polling station which has been put right in the middle of a sink estate. My neighbour Curley was very disappointed that there were no "Tory Wankers" there because he'd taken his dogs down with him. If the police don't get called today I will be very suprised, if the polling station isn't set on fire if May wins I will be shocked.
