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. That's not what the lovely fash letter says though (Also you have clearly never seen the horrid boomer ex-pat communities full of your racist granny living on the Costa Del Sol in nightmarish spots with nothing but other old white racist Brits who can't even manage to say "Por Favor")

BMX Ninja posted:He's unlikely to get the Democratic nomination anyway. I watched Michael Moore's Fahrenheit 11/9 a while back, and while it's obviously a very one-sided viewpoint, it was pretty damning on the dirty tricks the DNC deployed to get Clinton nominated last time. This time round the Dems seem to have concluded the reason Clinton lost is because she just wasn't centrist enough. Sorry, Bernie is going to win.

TBH, reading about the Swamp Germans is much better than the politics in the UK, a depressing hellhole somehow managing to be even more racist and bad than usual. On top of that, with Scottish independence polling at the highest point since the indyref in 2014 the former leader of the SNP will be on trial for some sort of sexual assault charge which many members think could also bring down Nicola Sturgeon. And now on top of that the SNP Finance Minister, favourite to replace Sturgeon as leader if she goes this year, has been accused by The Sun of posting really horny DMs to a 16 year old. Despite being warned he was 16. Which leaves the next major SNP leadership candidate as Johanna Cherry, one of the most vocal TERF politicians in the entire rotten UK. Awful country

Darth Walrus posted: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. 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.

Eh, there's Modern Studies (or whatever yon Sassenachs call it) which is basically the same idea. But we don't get very much of it as a mandatory part of the curriculum. Or didn't. Been far too long since I left school, could all have changed.

Wolfsbane posted:Looking that way. They have to pretend not to be blairites if they want to get elected by the members, we'll see how long it takes before the mask comes off. If the membership falls for it then Labour deserves to die. Seriously, can you really imagine the Labour right wilfully giving up power once they've gotten it back? They only gave it away in the first place because they assumed the left of the party was already extinct and wanted to have a go at the union's power next. A mistake they won't make again for a couple more decades until the hubris takes over again. forkboy84 has issued a correction as of 11:19 on Feb 24, 2020 |

Jel Shaker posted:I figured people do the teacher training then go abroad to some “English” school and make mad bank while learning to make moonshine in a bath tub Either that or if you're of the right stock you go to train the next generation of Imperial bureaucrats at some sort of private school even though there's been no Empire in so many decades these people are incapable of changing. Like if you're at Eton College teaching you'll be earning over £60k for starters (and according to their accounts for 2014 there were 2 earning at least 3 times that which I assume is the Head & Deputy Head. There's 20 in the £90k-£99,999 bracket) State teaching in the UK is a thankless job taking advantage of people's passion & decency: poorly compensated with miserable hours, a poo poo curriculum and at least half the people I know who have given up within a handful of years because it just wasn't worth it. Which seems like a problem but that's Britain for you, a stupid country run by loving morons.

Inexplicable Humblebrag posted:https://twitter.com/bbclaurak/status/1237505428570816512 Some rare good news as 318 Tory MPs cough & splutter into an early grave all thanks to one of the dumbest shites in the country, Nadine Dorries. A trained nurse who as an MP has advocated for bullshit "teach girls abstinence" attitudes straight from the US's religious right. Also at one point she decided to get really mad at unemployed disabled people who tweeted a lot (this was 2009, before Twitter was revealed to be the hellsite we now all recognise it as) and in 2013 she declared that the Tories supporting gay marriage would cost the party 4 million votes at the next election. Which sadly did not happen.

Communist Thoughts posted:you know what i mean. the people engaged by corbyn in the 2019 campaign were largely lefty educated student types and nobody else. its not a viable electoral coalition and it was mistaken for grassroots support. You're right, we should all become Zionists, then surely the billionaires running the media won't find something else to attack the left for. And of course we can't solve I/P singlehandedly but nobody is saying that. But Britain is still somehow a permanent Security Council member, it has influence and not using it to fight THE global human rights travesty of my lifetime is loving trash. If to get a Labour majority we need to give up our morals that's Blairism all over again.

Nonsense posted:Why Corbyn never purged his enemies will be a question for the ages. I doubt the reason is as bad as Sanders having feelings of friendship with people who shanked him like Joe Biden. sorry for americanisms He's too nice. Jezza was a fundamentally decent man who realised far too late in his life that most MPs are not good people. He asked Liz Kendall to be in his Shadow Cabinet for fucksake. There was also a chronic lack of a ruthless edge. If he wasn't that guy he'd never have won in 2015 but in the end it counted against us because of a refusal to take action to purge the right. The right will not hesitate to purge the left

Communist Thoughts posted:yeah, corbyns issue right from the beginning was that he respects parliament, other than him thinking that the media was surmountable and going into a weird anti-israel tangent even in the 2015 hustings (correctly, but was a huge flashing warning sign to me even then, anyone else remember this? he started repeatedly saying "they will rue the day! they will rue the day!") I think Corbyn was the right man for the job at the wrong time. We needed Corbyn to be the guy after the pitbull leader who shakes poo poo up who is all touchy feely and helps "reconciliation" but in a meaningless symbolic way. But then quite likely the left wouldn't have won in 2015 without the weird energy he had of being different to most politicians.
