I don't remember mega racism in mountains of madness, even if the entire conceit of it is weirdly fashy.

The story of Mountains of Madness might as well be "aliens find the journals of Southern plantation owners documenting the revolution". The Old Ones' writings tell a very good tale of the Shoggoths being bestial and unintelligent and talking in a grotesque parody of their language and all that, but we only have their word for it. Of course, H.P. Sauce's viewpoint character believes it implicitly and is scared shitless by the thought that something non human might still be alive down there.

My read-through of the Discworlds has got to Unseen Academicals and man is the slip in quality noticeable. I couldn't say what it is, but it's just noticeably worse executed than the ones before. I think I'll leave off with this one, I don't particularly want to experience the rest of his decline and I don't want to get to the one where Granny Weatherwax dies.

if you lot are planning to spend all day building strawmen of each other can you do it somewhere more useful, like the middle of a field, a nice big one so nobody has to watch you do it

Whilst I feel I'd have disagreements with Guto Bebb politically (especially wrt his views on use of Force) I have nothing but the greatest respect for the man and his culture. His story just goes to show that anyone can find success in Britain, even if you came here a long time ago from a galaxy far, far away.

Guto Bebb wouldn't be a Star Wars name if Star Wars didn't exist so maybe you should take this fight to George "Lukey G" Lucas.

I don't see how he benefits from this? Sure it weakens Kier as a leader but simultaneously acknowledges that his government is poo poo, and gives the public ammo to be rightly infuriated by it.

Is his sole aim to be able to say "Labour is just as bad as us, you have no choice" in four years time?

firstly, you're assuming he's planning that far ahead. secondly, you're assuming he's still going to be there in four years. thirdly, you're assuming that he can't just go "we're the greatest country on earth wot wot! those are british fish and chips rotting in the street! pakistanis back where their burqas came from!" and get a landslide majority

I have a feeling I first saw it in one of these threads but this article is very illuminating. The British attitude to absolutely everything seems to be to do it right as long as you're forced to with a gun to your head, then do it wrong at the earliest opportunity and keep doing it that way forever because "that's how we've always done it". poo poo country.
