There's a place in Florida that makes chicken curry burritos. They're amazing and as far as I can tell that's the only thing the state of Florida has going for it.

Just a reminder: Brenda's grandfather told the House of Lords if they didn't give up the veto he'd just spam new Lords until they did so. I mention this because I'm a historian of the Edwardian era and it's always amused me how badly the Tories read the room about the People's Budget.

The British Left won in a landslide in 1906 because Balfour decided to be too clever by half and let Campbell-Bannerman into No. 10 in the hopes the Radicals and the Liberal Imperialists would destroy each other in a minority government. Parliamentary Labour might owe its existence to Balfour's bad judgement because they were carried into office alongside the Liberals, going from a two MPs to 29.

Ms Adequate posted:In fairness to Balfour he couldn't really have predicted that the Liberals per se would actually implement any kind of useful policies. Campbell-Bannerman was really something of an Edwardian Jeremy Corbyn, right down to surviving an attempted backbench revolt in late 1905. 1930s Labour leader George Lansbury described him as "not afraid of the word Socialism, and [he] did believe unemployment was a national problem and the unemployed the care of the State." It's a tragedy he died in 1908 instead of a few years later. He even managed to have a mostly-competent defence policy, mostly because he listened to Jackie Fisher instead of the War Office.

Mind you, as a left-ish historian of the Royal Navy I have strong prejudice for politicians who support, or at least don't try to hobble, the Senior Service. Ask me about Trident and the Falklands.

Jedit posted:^^^ That's precisely the plan. Fail to pass a Queen's Speech, upon which Boris says "oh dear, that means I'm not PM so I don't have to go to Brussels". Then he sits back and waits for two weeks while Jo Swinson causes No Deal Brexit by refusing to back Corbyn. No, I mean he should be literally keelhauled under the largest ship in the RN.

OwlFancier posted:Because the steady decline of political talent in the conservative party over the last several decades has put boris johnson, possibly the most incompetent man in british politics, in charge of it, and he thinks, not necessarily incorrectly, that it is a vehicle for him to win one election, and he has thought no further than that about anything in his life. Por que no los dos?

Captain Fargle posted:Boris lost a vote that he needed in order to get Brexit done by the 31st. We're just waiting for the European Council to grant the extension to Article 50 officially and once they do Corbyn will whip for a GE. Well that explains why I saw Very Serious People retweeting the SNP etc screaming about Labour MPs voting for a thing.

JeremoudCorbynejad posted:Also worth noting that Boris is PM now and that'll give him a bump in his constituency - I'm willing to say unseating him is basically unachievable (but limiting his majority is still worthwhile) Balfour got unseated in 1906, and he was infinitely more competent than Joris Bohnson.

My first encounter with the chip butty was at the Crescent in Salford. I guess it was free chip butty day because I was served one without asking for it. It baffled me at first but was good.
