oliwan posted:I'm sorry but they would expect British people to learn to speak their language from where they came from so why shouldn't they have to learn English if they come to live here? Inside their own home they can speak any language they want but when speaking to a British person they should speak English. The flats are their own homes, you pillock.

Now Brexit has happened, any move towards Scottish independence would be a move away from American corporate exploitation. They're going to go Killing Hope on the ScotNats' backsides. As for the EU, remember how they held off from granting Ukraine membership thanks to the Russian invasion? No way they're going to go for an asset that risky if England sends in the troops. This is not an argument against Scottish nationalism as an ideal, per se, but you need to understand that it's likely to be a long bloody road and no strong imperial daddy is coming to save you.

GABA ghoul posted:Didn't Clinton spend several times more on electioneering than trmyp? Did I remember that wrong? The right wing media really did a number on her which is why I think ol' Bernie will lose as badly as John Corbyn. htbh Yeah, but Trump got a shitload of freebies from corporate media. Like, yeah, he didn't technically dollar-for-dollar buy his way in, but he was definitely a beneficiary of America's moneyed elite.

I think Cummings is safer than a Trump advisor because Johnson is a lazy poo poo who wants to soak up adulation and do gently caress-all else. It's Cummings himself who's the psychotic backstabbing flavour of narcissist.

forkboy84 posted:Ehhhhhhh, we'd have said the same about Steve Bannon. Turns out lazy shits eventually turf out psycho backstabbing advisors when they cause more problems than they solve. Eventually Dom is going to have hosed off enough Tory MPs that it'll cause Bozza Legend a headache. You're missing the point. Trump needs to be in control on a far more pathological level than Johnson, who mostly just shows up for fancy dinners. He didn't get rid of Bannon for the good of the Republican Party, he got rid of him because he pushed his buttons the wrong way, and it's not clear that Johnson has quite the same buttons.

Zulily Zoetrope posted:Go on, then. Point out that harsher immigration restrictions aren't actually about kicking out foreigners, but undermining workers' rights. Companies still want them, and the government will still let them in on 'temporary' visas that they're tacitly encouraged to overstay, but if their presence here is illegal, they have no legal redress to abuse and exploitation by employers (because the police will just deport them). End result, you get a slave underclass who have zero political representation and are dehumanised by the media, and are used to undercut wages and destroy collective bargaining. You know, exactly like how things are in the US. Immigration controls undermine collective bargaining by creating a labour black market, and undermine democracy by creating a non-citizen underclass.

lol, you're looking at a movement that calls itself 'Blue Labour' and has 'Faith, Flag, Family' as its slogan (cribbed from the High Tory Cornerstone Group) and you're going 'but what if they aren't actually racist'. Maurice Glasman, the group's founder, argued for outreach to the loving EDL.

NGC773 posted:Seeing as the vast majority of low paid workers are in their 20s and that if you are under 50 the chances of you dying from COVID is ridiculously low no one should be worried. You are aware that COVID can cause nasty long-term damage even if it doesn't just outright kill you within weeks, yes? Are you at all familiar with the UK's safety net for sick and disabled people, or lack thereof? COVID-19 antibodies also don't seem to stick around very long, meaning that it soon becomes the pre-existing condition that makes your next dose more potentially lethal.
