RabidWeasel posted:It's enfuriating that the idea that the Tories are more responsible with public funds still exists when they loving love stupid meaningless vanity projects. They've been after this for loving ages as well. When the topic popped up the last time I think some of the articles were from about five years ago - slap bang in the middle of austerity - oh we must tighten our belts...but let's spunk away money on a sodding boat. And then post-Brexit debacle, there were serious suggestions of, "Well, if we pay for a royal yacht, we can impress foreign bussinesses with it and get more trade for Gr8 Britun  "

This 'Brexit festival' is the most transparent bit of political propaganda. A big flashy national celebration coincidentally right before the election, with everything focused on Britishness and nationalism and how great everything is. It's bread and circuses without the loving bread.

Or the Queen dies and everyone is confused as to why Prince Charles is now King George VII or whatever and gets tired of the whole thing. There's going to be a concerted effort against the continuation of the monarchy in the space between Liz dying and Chuck renaming himself so it could go either way.

It's quite a high-risk strategy, because as much as the Tory press will love it most of the public will never actually see this 'festival' in person. Meanwhile Labour will be doing their best to portray it as an embarrassing flop and a waste of money, and no doubt it will be roundly mocked on social media. Plus given the current volatility it might never actually happen. It shows how desperate they are for policy that the thing they've pulled out on the first day of conference is basically 'let's have a big party in 2022'. It's not even a policy, just a poorly thought-through announcement.

I've said it before but I do think there's a very real chance that once old Liz goes, if Charlie ends up with more than a few years on the throne, the love affair with the monarchy will be done for good.Jaeluni Asjil posted:We have to not get bitter and twisted over this because people who haven't worked but get welfare get pension credits and can get full state pension after 35 years whereas people who may be working several part-time jobs on minimum wage won't be earning the minimum £112 (or whatever it is now) from a single employer a week to get a pension credit so even if they're working 40 hours a week, if they don't earn £112 from one single employer, they won't be having any contributions to state pension being made and I bet many of them will not even realize that. That, to me, is far more iniquitous. Also I just wanted to say that I think you're a good poster. I realise you're somewhat new to the UKMT (as am I) but your posts are always interesting and well-informed, so thanks!

On a scale of one to ten, how pejorative is "shemale"? Because the Times used it in a crossword and I'm wondering whether to complain, and to whom.

A recycled idea straight from 1997 ffs. If it's that important just take the old one back, it's out of place in Leith anyway.

Thanks Whatevil  I'm following you on Twitter btw but I can't remember which of my aliases it is!I love this forum and so glad I found it. I really miss forum format (as compared to Facebook). I find most of the posters are well-informed and like how statements are often referenced. I've found a lot of good info on here.

Better things to complain about honestly than a one time word on a crossword in the Times. People's Republic of Jam Jar is actually Jeremy Corbyn's House.

Many trans activists consider it as almost as bad as the other word best reserved for talking about vehicle transmissions or electrical transformers, many sex workers consider it a term from the world of porn that's dehumanising when used outside of that. I'd be interested in seeing their browser history at least. Also in my head I always rhyme it with tamale.

I'm guessing that the 'in market' is to make it clear they're talking about porn/sex work, so that's not as bad as if the clue was just "a transsexual" but still wtf at all of that, really want to see their browser history now.
