Aphex- posted:The gammons are just going to keep blaming the EU for all their problems even though we're not in it anymore aren't they? David Davis has already blamed the people who stopped us leaving last March with No Deal for No Deal, because their efforts shortened the transition period. Apparently it's not in the government's power to extend that, while they refuse to use the extension they've already been granted.

Guavanaut posted:You can tell that Brexit is mostly a psychological thing rather than a political thing, because all the Leavers call the Remainers traitors and all the Remainers call the Leavers racists. No, it's just that Brexit is a fascist endeavour and the far right always project. Leavers are both racists and traitors - to be more exact, the leaders are both but the followers are just racists, as treason requires active and knowing collusion. I've been calling out Mogg, Farage and Banks as traitors since Day 1. Meanwhile the Leavers aren't about to start calling anyone racist as an insult because they think racism is good.

And no, they sat there wearing spacesuits and playing chess - no acknowledgement of the music or the audience. And they weren't going to ask Jimmy Cauty poo poo, considering how he left. You could conceivably be right about the not-Jaz though.

Guavanaut posted:That can't be entirely down to Travelling communities, there just aren't enough Travellers, and it doesn't explain the gender disparity. The government's big worry with Traveller groups was that traditional gender roles require girls to withdraw from education to look after younger siblings, so you'd expect similar or worse pass rates for girls in the same category. Why? If they don't attend school then they won't appear in the figures.

And now they've seen that they can use the anti-Semitism stick and get away with it, they're going to hold it over the head of every Labour leader as blackmail.

endlessmonotony posted:Ah, yes, because the SNP are I'll stop you right there, because fascists are populist nationalists (or at least, they want to be). The SNP have also throughout their entire existence either tacitly or openly supported right wing parties from the actual loving Nazis to the Tories under Cameron, all the while protesting how poo poo the English make everything. The SNP need the Tories in power for the same reason the Lib Dems do - because centrist politics cannot exist in a society that has seen the benefits of a left wing government working for the people.

Sanitary Naptime posted:As I said earlier, the SNP is a single issue party so gently caress knows how many of their voters are just tories with different ideas about maps. It's not too hard. Just take a look at general elections prior to 1939, when the SNP either didn't exist or was barely nascent. Scotland outside of Edinburgh was in the main true blue Tory or Liberal. Labour didn't make gains in Scotland until the SNP split the Tory vote.

But the point is even those people have right to work here like citizens do. The idea that this immigration system is supposed to scare them into compliance, instead of being a lazy slapdash fix to look good with the base, is nonsense. It's not about scaring people into compliance. It's about scaring people into not even trying to comply, because complying still won't protect you.
