Simsandwich posted:Glasgow, North East, in a CLP that is rigged by the Orange Order and chaired by a former BNP activist (i wish I was making this up). Wait wait. The former seat of Michael Martin, the first Catholic Speaker of the HoC since the reformation, is now being run by Orange Order types? lol

Time to rebuild the Antonine Wall to ensure the plague can make it no further north than Falkirk. Once Covid-19 kills all the soft southern bastards in Glasgow & Newcastle the hardened Teuchter masses will stream forth to resettle the abandoned wastes.

No because Jeremy Corbyn lead government would actually be doing something about all these things

They want her in jailed for weird reasons related to Comet Pizza and other dumb conspiracy reasons, we want her in jail for being a liberal. Motive matters OP.

Borrovan posted:Beavertown & Camden Town breweries are union busters. Pass it on. You got me reading about union busters online & I came across this hell article on a hell site: https://blog.unionproof.com/union-buster-stop-using/ "Union-buster is a divisive term, once meant to rally workers but now used to accuse employers who are often operating with the best interests of their employees in mind. It conjurers up images of strike-breaking and suggests that those who champion a union-free operating environment are “bad guys” who will do anything to keep employees down, including violence or other illegal activities. It implies a divide-and-conquer mindset, where union-free businesses and labor organizations are just out to destroy each other. But in a global economy, where companies seek out the best talent to help the business succeed, that kind of divisiveness has no place and will not help anyone succeed." I want to die

Prince John posted:They won't do anything if my friend's experience is anything to go by. It's a sorry tale involving exploitation of the vulnerable elderly, 20+ repeated burglaries and the van traced as registered to an official traveller site. The police point blank told them they would do nothing because the perpetrators were travellers. Please don't spread casual racism against travellers, it's trash to do.

Don't poo poo in the shower but if you're going to use your shower as a bidet at least put one of those filter covers over the plughole like you use to stop hairs clogging the drain and then cleaning it up later. Goons are a curse.

Even while we waited at the bus stop together the Inverness mormons didn't even bother trying to convert me, the heartless bastards.

MikeCrotch posted:Yes! There is an abandoned one of their halls round the corner from me - it's incredibly creepy because it has no windows and weird signs about "Brethrens Meeting Place". Turns out they are weird and culty and don't let women in the cult talk to outsiders. Who knew. Back when I was 4 or 5 we lived in a place that wasn't even a village, there were 20 houses in a mile radius or something. Anyway, I was an incredibly sociable & friendly kid (how things change) & turns out that there were...not sure if they were Plymouth Brethern or some offshoot of them but they were the nicest family. A lot of kids of varying ages but they were all incredibly friendly & not in a culty way at all. Well, according to my faint memories, we're talking 30 years ago. At some point one of their kids was being baptised & my mum, me & sister were invited along. My sister would have been about 18 months old and did toddler stuff like crying and they were so good and patient and just very "let kids be kids" which was so loving different to when my own cousin got baptised in the Church of Scotland church my grandparents attended and it was all "how dare your baby make noises on this solemn occasion?" and my mam ended up having to go outside with her. Dunno what my point is really, except that at least to a 5 year old they were by far & away the nicest Christians I've ever had any experience with. And definitely did let their women talk to outsiders. But there's also "Open" & "Exclusive" sects & the Reeves definitely weren't "Exclusive" going by what I've read.

Some rare good news in these trying times https://twitter.com/andywightman/status/1237710396842270720?s=20 Obviously if you don't follow Scottish politics you don't know who Wightman is but he's a Green MSP & has long been an ardent campaigner on issues like land reform. Very good guy & his book The Poor Had No Lawyers is well worth a read if you're even vaguely interested in Scottish land ownership. forkboy84 fucked around with this message at 13:16 on Mar 11, 2020 |
