Angepain posted:so uh the uk government is apparently pushing for polygraph tests? i was under the impression those were kind of bollocks As I understand it, polygraph tests only measure stress levels. So if you're nervous, for example because your release from prison is wholly dependent on not failing the test, you are much more likely to fail.

And Boris has to continue with the same attacks on Starmer as on Corbyn, because otherwise he has to retrain the dogs to learn who is the Other.

justcola posted:I was talking to someone today and started talking about the song 'Hitler's only got one ball' - she was German and hadn't heard it, but I assumed most people in Britain were familiar with it. Is this still the case or has it faded from schools by now? It definitely hadn't faded into the 1980s, but then there were still plenty of kids who had learned it from their grandfathers. And I read a book written some time in the 90s about myths and stories of the Second World War which devoted the better part of two pages to it, including an interview with Hitler's personal driver. I couldn't tell you about any more recent usage.

justcola posted:Personally I can't wait for Cummings to think the Internet of Things and blockchain can solve the border problem, without really understanding what that means. £50m to a Tory sponsor to half-arse it, another £10m to improve it before the project is cancelled and the government tries to use the civil service to manually check everything at the border with just an etch-a-sketch to keep track of imports The Tories have realised that they no longer even have to half-arse it. They're literally just handing out millions to their mates under the guise of procurement with no expectations that anything will be done.

Nearly all the ones I've seen in Germany are like this, with the addition that they tick. By giving people a reference for how long they've actually been waiting, it prevents (some) people becoming impatient and crossing when it isn't safe. thespaceinvader posted:Do people not just... grasp the light patterns of all their local junctions? I'm sure they do, but junctions with pedestrian crossings on major roads will never turn red in all directions for vehicles unless the button is pushed.

Having listened to it myself it is "black cab lives matter". However, it's easy to make the error when it's surrounded with demands to "give us back our streets" and calling him a oval office and "the destroyer of London", and when literally every other person who has amended "Black Lives Matter" is in fact a massive loving racist.

Cerv posted:could've before the exit date. we can't revoke Article 50 now as we are no longer in that process. the UK has left and would have to apply to rejoin, but that's just not going to happen without a huge shift in our domestic politics to convince them it's worthwhile even considering the application. If the UK put on the table a deal that simply said "status quo in all things, to be renegotiated by 1/1/2022" the EU would take it in a snap. It would technically just be a one-year extension to the transition period, but as long as it doesn't gently caress with their budget planning the EU won't care.

I'm wondering exactly what you consider customs posts at a foreign border to be, if not security installations.

namesake posted:Yes I reckon the rural community with a incredibly potent apple based alcohol and an absolutely poo poo ton of weird holy sites and magic is based on Lancashire and not Somerset and Wiltshire. Well, the name is a shortened version of Lancashire, the adjective is an anagram of the adjective for Lancashire, the most famous witch trial of England happened in Lancashire, and the area and surrounds have their own fair share of weird places. But I'm sure that because Somerset also has cider, it must be the true inspiration for Lancre.
