There's a pretty good chance that the Labour conference in late September will either be cancelled or will have a picket outside of it from Unite and GMB workers so no, Starmer will not soon start looking like a PM in waiting soon after. The left refuses to back a literal anti-worker party and the right wing make jokes about how the Labour Party doesnt even have to be in power to cause industrial action these days.

On the one hand yeah locking people up for downloading the anarchist cookbook or whatever is dumb.

On the other hand if you sentence someone for something that's supposed to be a serious crime which makes them a danger to society put them into a psychiatric facility instead of treating them like naughty school boys who got caught doing a prank

Fair play to the judge for finding a unique way to avoid a custodial sentence, maybe he should do something similar to all non-violent offenders who cross his path (who an I kidding its just for white posh lads).

I do think that where someone is possibly just suffering from online teen lad brain and downloading stupid poo poo, reading some of say Steve Biko, Emma Goldman, and Theodor Adorno in the company of a group to put it into context could prove good rehabilitation, or at least remove their "I'm a tortured genius and uniquely persecuted" head out of their rear end, as long as it was standardized rather than just for Anglo failsons. I'm not convinced that doing a book report on Far from the Madding Crowd would do the same.

Yes, that's the trouble. Otherwise I'd say reading fiction could be a fairly good element of treatment, given the evidence it increases empathy.

I feel like it's more true that empathetic people read fiction more, whereas if you try to force a chud sociopath to read they'll just have another thing to be mad about.

Now it just tastes sour, for the past 6 months at least and i had a few old cans from last year that were lovely.

I think technically you can make it yourself by heating sugar and water, as it is just partially hydrolysed sucrose.

It's literally just toasted sugar which explains why it tastes fabulous. You take sugar and do the thing that makes everything taste good to it.

I don't know if there is a specific step you have to stop at but yeah it's up there with "boil a can of condensed milk to make caramel" in terms of knowledge that is probably equal parts impressive and ruinous for your dietary health.

I don't know if it as commonly used outside the UK for some reason though, or at least as a thing you buy and use at home rather than in commercial baking.

I guess I am used to adding syrup or honey to a lot of things that are more sour/savoury than I was wanting, goes well with barbeque sauce too. Also dilute honey works as a very simple pan deglazer to make a faintly sweet sauce if you don't have any wine or whatever.

I keep thinking of that Orwell review of mein kampf and

quote:

he is never able to think of a substitute for the tin soldiers; tin pacifists somehow won't do.
Hitler, because in his own joyless mind he feels it with exceptional strength, knows that human beings don't only want comfort, safety, short working-hours, hygiene, birth-control and, in general, common sense; they also, at least intermittently, want struggle and self-sacrifice, not to mention drums, flags and loyalty-parades.
I'd much prefer the first bunch of things, and you can just pretend the second bunch. I can play tin soldiers with Age of Empires without desiring to die in a mud-filled ditch, but it's harder to do that with bread.

If you wish to build an apple pie from scratch, you must first invent the universe.

All these other posts are lies though, to make golden syrup you need to get the rotting carcass of a lion, surrounded by flies. An alpaca might do in a pinch

Take up your rifles
Related to home-made syrup, depending on prices it can sometimes be quite economical to make your own butter from double cream, and it's fairly low-effort if you're making a small batch, you basically just stir a bowl of room-temp cream with your hand until the butter separates out, then squeeze out the remaining buttermilk with some spatulas.
