I had at least two separate people blearily yell "happy new year" at me in the street, between one and two weeks after new year's day, in the middle of the day. Brits are a strange folk, sometimes they just yell things at you.

feedmegin posted:Im curious to be honest how much depressed turnout was simply due to the weather. We don't normally hold elections in the middle of winter, and in general depressed turnout tends to help the Tories/Brexit supporters. Supposedly, statistics indicate that weather doesn't do much for turnout either way, though with counfounding factors in elections god knows how accurate that is.

A Buttery Pastry posted:Irrelevant. Holding the self-determination of peoples as sacrosanct protects the beneficiaries of genocide just the same. Perhaps we could do that when there isn't a reason not to? Like contrariwise the idea of going into some weird calipers-based ethnography about what fleg should have what landmass seems a bit suspect.

A Buttery Pastry posted:The current inhabitants of England are descendants of invaders, true, but they're also descendants of the natives whose rights you're sarcastically invoking. I mean if you put people in a place for long enough that tends to happen? What percentile of native blood does it take to qualify for right to live in a place?

A Buttery Pastry posted:It's not a question of native blood percentages, it's a question of the people living in England being the primary descendants of these conquered peoples (or people who were allowed to move there by the same.) What do you think the people who live in gibraltar are, then?

If you want to argue against people's views on imperial history you might want to come up with a better way of doing it than what is essentially the british approach to decolonization, but this time with definitely correct race science backing it up.

A Buttery Pastry posted:The British approach to decolonization is taking colonies from other countries and giving them a new designation, or loving off in the worst way possible if a colony becomes too expensive/troublesome, I'm pretty sure. Yes and going around saying that this place should be owned by this country because the population is sufficiently genetically mixed is loving weird and hard to distinguish from some arsehole in the foreign office drawing lines across Africa. Darth Walrus posted:Went to RLB's event in Bristol, and got a very good reply to my question about Labour's role in community organising and parallel support structures. I suggested afterwards that it'd be nice for her campaign to push that, and I hope she does. Can you share the gist? It'd be nice to hear if she's got something interesting to offer.

I wish I could recommend a single, cohesive book about the subject, but it's hard to find one. I only know that the work culture over there is weird and hosed up.

I don't really remember much about them but I like to think that the MI5 building can lauch a rocket boat out of one of its walls and hit the thames. And that that's how the boss goes home every day.

Sadly the sort of people who publish reports generally do not conceive of any other form of democracy. Or at the very least they don't have a control group to make that deduction.

If I have a complaint about butler it's that she apparently really hates investigations into the iraq war. Though Rayner also voted against it, but she hasn't been in parliament as long so fewer times.

I seem to remember her complaint was more that the white working class are feckless and indolent unlike hard working immigrant families. To which my main complaint was that I'm not sure systemic racism and the threat of being deported somewhere you've never lived is necessarily a thing I want to inflict on all of society to better increase productivity.

I think when I was younger there was the idea that school prioritizes presentation in work without giving you a good reason as to why and thus people with a predisposition towards that do better (with the implication that girls obviously care more about presentation, not sure if that's actually true though) Also not sure if that applies in the age of standardized testing, though obviously it might for coursework and certainly in early schooling I remember a lot of focus on making your work look nice, which we were never really taught the theory of. I do remember being encouraged to write in cursive so I would be allowed to use a pen, possibly part of the reason why my handwriting is illegible to this day because I started doing that very badly and never got any better because they only cared whether it was joined up, not whether it was actually readable.
