i'm really looking forward to five years time when brexit has wrecked everything and rather than apologising the leave voters will only say that it failed because people didn't back it hard enough

Oh, it's absolutely going to be all the Remainers' fault. Sabotaging all the trading negotiations and hiding all the potatoes.

I know it’s not a 1-1 analogue, but isn’t that like if a bunch of rude, racist Texans voted for Texas to secede, won the vote, and then moved to Mexico? I just don’t understand, why vote leave and then move? what is the cultural touchstone im missing?

Other way round. Moved to Mexico then voted for Texas to secede and won.

But still didn't want to move back because the weather's poo poo and everything costs more.

Presumably there's a coin recall at some point, right? Paper bills have a fairly limited life expectancy for regular use so you don't really need to think about it, they either get destroyed or become collectors' items, but coins can remain useable for literally centuries (this was a thing in Imperial China - coins from multiple dynasties ago still in circulation).

It was a thing in Britain too until decimalisation in 1971 - you had coins from the last 100 years floating around until they got too worn. And even after decimalisation for silver coins - shillings were repurposed as 5p coins, florins as 10p for example - until those denominations were resized decades later.

In short no, Liz-head coins will circulate until they wear out; the Mint will just switch to using Charlie's head on new ones. Or Will's, if Charlie doesn't make it to his coronation; he's not looking any too well these days either.

How depressing it is to see [forum] readers joining in the denigration of Keir Starmer. What kind of country have we become when seriousness, integrity, diligence and intelligence are seen as negative qualities? Has the vacuous celebrity culture taken over our critical faculties to such an extent?

There seems to be no recognition of the political tightrope that Starmer is having to negotiate: how do you unite a party while ridding it of antisemitism? How do you win back Brexit voters in places such as Mansfield while satisfying young, radical urbanites? Those on the left who wish to see far more socialist policies need to understand that winning an election comes before any policy. The political reality is that Starmer has to preach to a very disparate congregation.

It is widely recognised that our best prime minister was Clement Attlee: a modest, self-effacing man who was efficient and pragmatic in office. If anyone to the left of this government wants to see it removed, they had better get behind Starmer.

Hi Keith! Never realised you got an account here so long ago!

I think it's more that they were progressive but in a very limited way. And society moved on while they stayed where they were. And at some point became obsessed with the idea that the trans agenda is to make butch lesbians think they are men for...reasons no one has really articulated.

TL;DR old middle class white women have no concept of solidarity, probably because they are old, middle class & white.

The grief they give, for example, younger radical feminists who are very much pro trans rights, is a good example that the problem isn't with feminism. Hell, Angela Davies was attacking 2nd wave feminists for being dogshit when it came to black & Hispanic women, their lack of intersectionality is hardly a new observation.

Pretty much this I think, as someone of that age/gender/race. Some of us have learned a bit over the years, but the loudest ones are all high on farts and righteousness and don't give a poo poo about anyone else's oppression.
