Where are you all going that you get people berating you for not wearing a poppy? I never wear one and see plenty of people not wearing one and I've never once felt like anyone has been hostile towards me. Is this a fashy small-town OAP gammon thing?

Necrothatcher posted:If this is in reference to my canvassing post from yesterday, it turned out that nobody gave a crap one way or another. I just didn't want to give any gammon on the doorstep any ammunition to use against the Labour party - no matter how minor. No not at all, I've just noticed a bunch of jokes along the lines of 'WHERE'S YOUR POPPY???' which suggested that some people have actually been confronted for perceived lack of patriotism, which if it's happening on the street is very troubling indeed!

Ash Crimson posted:In the diseased mind of the gammon, the only proper way to respect ARE troops is to wear some gauche red plastic fake flower, Rather than, y'know, actually materially supporting current and ex-service personnel. Do the British Legion actually do much in the way of supporting veterans etc? They must rake in a shitload of cash, so I'd hope at least some of that goes towards retraining/mental health support/housing etc. Afaik veterans still get a pretty raw deal of it. At least we're not quite to the level of the USA yet, though I love the idea of valour stealing. I remember watching some video a while back where this 19 year old American guy was going about in military fatigues pretending to be a soldier not even trying to scam people out of money just because it got him laid all the time lol.

goddamnedtwisto posted:They do a huge amount of work, particularly in the area of mental health - PTSD and institutionalisation are massive problems with ex-service people. They also do a lot of work around education and retraining for people when leaving the services, and physical rehab for injured personnel. The poppies themselves are made by disabled ex-servicepeople (and have been since the very start) as both paying work and occupational therapy. Ah cool, thanks. On the last point though, surely hospital beds for injured squaddies are paid for? I mean, they are British citizens and we have an NHS (for now at least).

He's evil, and greedy and wants to literally carve off your flesh. 3. He's really weaselly when you complain about any of that. I remember in my GCSE literature class my teacher really really trying to spin an interpretation of MoV where Shakespeare was actually making some biting social commentary about contemporary antisemitism. There are a few lines that would support this ('if you prick us do we not bleed' etc) but on the whole I still think the tone is more going for 'haha look at the silly jew' tbh.

Hello thread, dumb question but since moving to the big city I've realised that on the tube tfl only take 10p when you use contactless on the tube then bills you the rest a few days later. Now I'm wondering what would happen if I were to use a secondary debit card with like 50p on it. The latter payment would be declined, but what are they going to do about it? (Assuming you're using an account that doesn't permit unauthorised overdrafts)

I'd really like to see an actual analysis of why of all the vaguely public figures in the UK that particular brand of early-noughties comedian seems particularly susceptible to brain-worm infection. Chuka Umana posted:Phoebe Waller-Bridge: not funny She's alright but you have to go into it accepting that she's a very posh lady and her comedy reflects that. Fleabag had some great moments but lol at her cliche highly strung 'successful' sister randomly discussing her multi-million pound bonus as if that's a normal thing people do while she owns a trendy upmarket coffee shop and is extremely comfortable but this is somehow depicted as failure.

I'm aware that this is a very steamy take but I'm extremely relaxed about left wing leaders using underhand tactics to remain in power. We tend to fetishise democracy for its own sake but as it is practiced what we end up doing is defending inherently flawed liberal representative democracy for its own sake. What I want is socialism, I'm not about to cry when socialists are a little flexible about the rules when it comes to an institution that might - and indeed naturally tends to - allow for the election of the right and the rolling back of socialist policy. Ensuring the continuation of that socialist society is far more important than 'respecting' some abstract democratic principle by standing by as violence - and right wing policy is by its very nature violent - occurs.

Miftan posted:I'd be careful about stanning the USSR and China. Yeah, there's definitely a lot of good things that they did right off the bat, but it turned sour real quick. Nobody here needs me to provide examples. Well I'm not stanning China because after Mao died they clearly fell to an internal counter revolution and started introducing right-wing policy despite their official 'communist' stance, so they are in practice a right-wing government. Good at trains though! USSR is a little more complex and yes went a little pear shaped but I would argue was the preferable alternative to the USA for the majority of its history. Definitely its collapse can't be read as anything but a tragedy.

CyberPingu posted:The issues with this is that you are relying on the elected people to stick to that stance. What happens when they go "Cool, we cant be removed anymore, time to go full on scorched earth" Quite. It's not an easy problem to solve, though I'd argue that beginnings of a solution are to be found in party processes/internal democratic processes rather than state-level liberal democracy. Despite China eventually losing the plot completely, some of Mao's early innovations in organising (mass line etc) were pretty solid examples.

CyberPingu posted:Its super hard to solve, the underlying issues are that whenever a party comes in, they spend a lot of time trying to undo what the last party did wrong (or right if you are the tories because why would they let anything good happen). The obvious thing is either make bills more difficult to pass or make them more difficult to be removed, however that opens up a whole other can of worms and if something horrendous gets through it means its staying there. Or just make it harder for Tories to be elected

CyberPingu posted:Its a very touchy issue, but i think if you reach 70 you shouldnt be allowed to vote on anything that will have a lasting effect on the country. Yeah, I actually 100% agree. Once you have retired you should no longer be able to vote, and the vote should also be extended to anyone who is legally able to work. It's probably well out of the Overton window to openly argue this atm but I don't think it's as difficult a position to coherently defend as it first appears.

Armani Glasses posted:I've been talking to some friends about the election and most of them are staunch SNP supporter's, their reasoning coming down primarily to Indy Ref 2 or bust, that "SNP have done great things for Scotland", and that they just don't trust Labour as a party. I find I just don't know enough about the SNP as a party, in the recent past or present to really get into it with them. I still just see them as the a "One Issue Party", and don't know where to go for a non-bias run down of them. It's tough to be informed without knowing where to look! The SNP talk a good game but they're primarily pro-business conservatives with very relaxed attitudes towards corporate regulation and taxation! They're a big tent so obviously there are a few socialists in there but just as many if not more tartan Tories and the leadership atm is staunchly liberal.
