The question should not be why, but how. As leader of the Labour Party I have clearly outlined how I intend to revitalise Britain. First, we will not destroy businesses who have struggled through coronavirus. Second, we will remind people that police are there to keep us safe. Third, behold this egg.

Just responding to this in the last thread:Crayfish posted:gently caress me, your bloody post is what's demoralising. Mate, I never said it was a huge deal, but “nip” is a racial slur, even if a kind of old fashioned one, and this is the name they chose for their party. If I was naming pretty much anything I wanted to promote (and knew would be frequently abbreviated) I would try to avoid that poo poo. The fact that they didn’t, and what they chose not to bother avoiding is telling.

The problem being there's 'nip' as in 'travelling', there's 'nip' as in horticulture, a small cut, 'nipped in the bud' or 'the cold nipped at his hands and feet'. nip as in a small drink 'a nip of whisky', and then 'nip' as in nippon' aka Japanese, the slur you're thinking of. Don't look for malice what can easily be explained by stupidity or lack of knowledge or it not occuring to people because language. Look hard enough and you can find anything in anything. Same as you can not find something if you're not looking.(And even then it might be in your pocket the whole time.)

Being told I look like Gok Wan (I don't) rates higher on the racism scale than N.I.P. You can choose to believe that it's "telling" if you want, but it hadn't even occurred to me about the slur definition until I'd read your post! Not a single one of my friends or family would be upset by this because the context and intent is clearly not racist in any way. We don't need you to get offended on our behalf in some misguided form of anti-racism. The name is fine, please focus your energy somewhere else. I will survive don't worry.

To be fair, immediately when I read the name I thought of the slur. Just because something's not intended doesn't mean it can't be characterized. Like imagine if they were called the Friends of Allied Groups and abbreviated that, I mean sure they may not have meant it, but of they didn't think about it then it shows the type of thing they don't think about.

I have been watching my local doctors website for covid vaccine updates. They just announced they aren't doing any more 1st vaccines and are moving on to 2nd. Is this normal? I see some of you guys are in your 30's/40's with no health complications and got called up right? Ot were you just edge cases or something?

The vaccine supply problems are hitting now so they're limiting first doses for a bit to definitely give second doses to everyone who should have them on schedule. I got mine in late Jan but that's due to my NHS work.

A few areas of the country ran out of arms before they ran out of jabs so people got called - the official line is still that they're gong to use the next few weeks to ensure second doses get done before moving on to the next cohort. (And some people like me shamelessly jumped the queue by volunteering at a vaccination centre out of a sense of civic responsibility and not just to get the sweet gay frog nanotechnology early)

Rumda posted:The Northern Independence party has more than enough issues without having to get offended on behalf of Asian people even when they tell you it doesn't matter. They also don’t know how to geography or local politics. There is this whole thing where Derbyshire is long, it’s so long that a lot of it is more north of Manchester. The problem is that the county capital is right on the southern tip next to Nottingham, and so far as administration goes it’s utterly unconnected to the rest of the county. Basically the northern parts want to be part of either the Sheffield or the Manchester local authorities if only because it would give us some protection from the local landowners we are all still beholden to, for example; “Want the supertram? well the Renishaw estate says “gently caress YOU”, “want the HS2 not to go through your house? well the Renishaw estate says “We are not having it near our land gently caress YOU”” and along comes the Northern Independence Party telling us we are not part of their cabal. Well gently caress you all too, look at a god drat map.

It remains to be seen where they will stand candidates obviously.

They've defined the North as the EU regions of North East, North West, and Yorkshire and the Humber, but they've said that any of the counties at the border are welcome to join. I don't think they're explicitly defining themselves as anti-Derbyshire

The commonly accepted definition of "Northern England" using historic county lines doesn't include Derbyshire - there's a map here: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Devolution_to_the_North_of_England The argument that parts of Derbyshire have more in common with their Northern neighbours than the rest of the county to the South is a valid one, but splitting up historic counties is the kind of thing that should be self-determined.
