She stepped back, alarmed. Had she committed a Brexit? It was so easy, these days, to accidentally commit a Brexit. She stepped forward again and awkwardly patted his arm.

By the old Moulmein Pagoda, lookin' lazy at the sea,
There's a Burma girl a-settin', and I know she thinks o' me;
For the wind is in the palm-trees, and the temple-bells they say:
"Come you back, you British soldier; come you back to Mandalay! "
Come you back to Mandalay,

I was planning to do a PhD before I got a desk in a PhD student office for my final year of undergrad. Eye-opening to hear each of them describe the different stages of their individual mental-breakdowns.

I've never found so much stashed away alcohol in an office, either.

i started reading the grad school threads here on SA my last year of undergrad to start getting prepped for it

the sheer misery exuding from those poor folks convinced me to avoid phd programs like the plague and i have never regretted it

perhaps if britons are convinced that closing schools during plagues is sufficiently Traditional this can be averted

i suggest starting with an ad about the closure of cambridge in 1666

Oh also Gavin Williamson said a thing about not wanting state school kids to get over-promoted later in life.

the naked classism of britain never fails to astound

in the US a statement like that would be veiled behind a concern that the state school kids "wouldn't be able to perform in university", which is quite condescending but at least attempts not to sound evil. meanwhile you all have folks spouting off about how the poor can never be allowed outside their station and that's just normal

edit: for the record im not saying that the US is any better in general, just that this kind of thing comes off a bit like walking into a room and immediately hearing an earnest discussion of racial phrenology

The things he has said are borderline (although there are rather a lot of them), and a number of his fellow travellers are more overtly AS. So I kind of agree with Balls. I don’t think Corbyn is AS (or if he is, it’s barely), but he is/was blind to it on the left, which is why Labour got into the whole mess.

They do have a point. Funnily enough, as a Jew I don’t really want to excuse antisemitism in a purportedly anti-racist organisation because it’ll hurt our electoral chances. We don’t have an absolute monopoly on being right.

i was willing to entertain the idea that you were posting in good faith but i believe you just crossed into D&D Posting territory considering the mountains of evidence that the party's lack of movement on antisemitism complaints was right-labour sabotage that has been posted over the last however many pages and your apparent unwillingness to grapple with any of it

yeah i know it's foreign to british people with your immutable, god-given stations in life and all, but when you leave one class and enter another, often you are still ideologically aligned with your former class instead of molting into a lizardperson immediately
