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.

Theresa May defends Tory candidate who made 'shocking' comments about rape and homosexuality

quote:

Theresa May has defended a Conservative parliamentary candidate who made "shocking" comments about rape and homosexuality.

Peter Cuthbertson, the Tory candidate for Darlington, had said a woman's "promiscuity" was relevant in determining whether she had consented to sex in rape cases.

At a press conference, the Prime Minister said: "Peter has made clear that his views have changed."

The 33-year old public affairs consultant made the comments, and others, in a series of blogposts in the early 2000s.

In another blog post on the Conservative Commentary website Mr Cuthbertson praised a “courageous priest jailed in Sweden for preaching against homosexuality”.

He also accused “left-wing students, pensioners, nurses, doctors, teachers, local council workers" of seeming to "conduct never-ending campaigns to seize more money from other people".

The blog posts were written when he was a university student aged between 18 and 20.

In her answer to the question, Ms May did not condemn the prospective MP, and instead laid out her record on domestic violence: “You reference my own position on some of these things: I have been very clear as home secretary over six years and continuing as Prime Minister, a number of issues that i’ve been addressing particularly around domestic violence.

“We’re seeing more people willing to come forward an report allegations of rape and we’re seeing more prosecutions for rape. I think we have seen a step change in the way the criminal justice system deals with these cases but we need to keep looking at this.

“That’s why we’ve announced that we will bring in a single piece of domestic violence legislation with a clear definition of domestic violence - so that we eradicate this abuse in our country.

“It’s not just abuse of women, of course, because domestic violence can take place against men as well and we should never forget that.”

Labour's election coordinator Andrew Gwynne told the Guardian newspaper, which first reported the comments, that they were “absolutely shocking”.

Mr Cuthbertson had told the newspaper that he “definitely does not have all the same views as my adolescent self”.

UK now the worst-performing advanced economy in the world after post-Brexit vote slump

quote:

The UK is now the worst-performing advanced economy in the world, with growth slumping to just 0.2 per cent in the first three months of the year.

It means Britain is bottom of the G7 group of advanced economies, while Canada has surged to the top, with an expansion of 0.9 per cent in the period.

After Canada became the last G7 nation to report figures on Wednesday, the UK’s position at the bottom of the list was confirmed.

Before the Brexit vote, just under a year ago, the UK economy was flying high, outgrowing Germany, Japan and the US.

Behind Canada at the top is Germany with 0.6 per cent growth, followed by Japan with 0.5 per cent, France on 0.4 per cent and the US at 0.3 per cent.

The UK economy had initially held up better than expected in the months since last June’s Brexit vote, as consumer spending remained strong.

However, signs of a deterioration have been gathering as Theresa May readies herself to begin divorce talks with fellow EU leaders.

Inflation jumped unexpectedly to 2.7 per cent for the year in April, thanks to a dramatic slump in the pound which has made imports more expensive.

Price increases are now outpacing wages according to the latest Office for National Statistics data. As a result, shoppers may soon have to rein in the spending that has kept the economy afloat, experts say.

Earlier this month the Bank of England downgraded its growth forecast for 2017 to 1.9 per cent.

By contrast, Canada’s economy is on course to register a 3.7 per cent expansion, according to the country's national statistics agency.

Your posting continues to disappoint

quote:

Do you like Phil Collins? I've been a big Genesis fan ever since the release of their 1980 album, Duke. Before that, I really didn't understand any of their work. Too artsy, too intellectual. It was on Duke where, uh, Phil Collins' presence became more apparent. I think Invisible Touch was the group's undisputed masterpiece. It's an epic meditation on intangibility. At the same time, it deepens and enriches the meaning of the preceding three albums. Christy, take off your robe. Listen to the brilliant ensemble playing of Banks, Collins and Rutherford. You can practically hear every nuance of every instrument. Sabrina, remove your dress. In terms of lyrical craftsmanship, the sheer songwriting, this album hits a new peak of professionalism. Sabrina, why don't you, uh, dance a little. Take the lyrics to Land of Confusion. In this song, Phil Collins addresses the problems of abusive political authority. In Too Deep is the most moving pop song of the 1980s, about monogamy and commitment. The song is extremely uplifting. Their lyrics are as positive and affirmative as, uh, anything I've heard in rock. Christy, get down on your knees so Sabrina can see your rear end. Phil Collins' solo career seems to be more commercial and therefore more satisfying, in a narrower way. Especially songs like In the Air Tonight and, uh, Against All Odds. Sabrina, don't just stare at it, eat it. But I also think Phil Collins works best within the confines of the group, than as a solo artist, and I stress the word artist. This is Sussudio, a great, great song, a personal favorite.

I am aware of the issue of brigades and their horrible effects but it is not a 'concerted effort' of a 'regressive left' and exists on all elements of the political spectrum. Outraged idiots is not a left-wing nor right-wing phenomenon and taking a counter-social justice position in response is the action of a coddled baby.

The problem is with the term social justice is that its a nebulous term that extends from ensuring the freedom of minorities (including gay people and disabled people) to not be persecuted for being minorities to cultural appropriation (how dare you run a taco stand BIGOT) and making phrases like mansplaining a thing

more generally: yes, there exist people in the ~social justice sphere~ who persecute people who voice opinions they don't like. the reason that this thread is laughing at you is because that's exactly what happens to women and minorities whenever they voice their own opinion, but on a much more damaging scale. you've just never noticed it because your (my) group weren't subject to anything like it until very, very recently.

Sargon is borderline anyway

edit: his use of the term comes from 4chan the place where autistic people go to have slapfights about My Little Pony. The term takes on a different term in a place that makes SomethingAwful look like Narnia when it comes to arguing. Sargon really really wishes he could be seen as a cool guy by 4chan like Metokur or Sam Hyde is.

State surveillance has been massive for decades, then routine business surveillance as CCTV systems and fancy routers got smaller and cheaper, now it's just happening at the personal level.

I'm not sure that's altogether a bad thing, because that allows for sousveillance too. BLM didn't come into existence because police started shooting an abnormally high number of black kids that year, it came into existence in part because they were doing the same poo poo as always but this time around everyone in the community had small portable recording devices. I've also heard that one of the biggest forms of antisocial behavior on council estates prevented by CCTV rollout was coppers knocking kids about for a laugh.

Other forms of anti-surveillance are becoming practical at the individual/community level. Encryption was once the domain of governments, then of turbonerds, now it's easy enough that anyone can make use of it and governments are starting to piss their pants a little over it.

Funnily enough I found this circulating on facebook
