My bad I guess, I see her on the best selling lists and assume it’s another shocking crime novel a la Dan Brown, like the non military equivalent of Tom Clancy. If I’m wrong then apologies. Just seems like there are better books out there

Nah Mantel takes like 10 years to put out a rigorously researched historical novel about ugly but powerful men that she has historical crushes on

I liked the first two Wolf Hall books and haven't got through the final one yet

Theyr good books but her being a reactionary is extremely unsurprising given how she writes about stuff

Yeah the British public are pretty good/rude about it, it's the media and government figures who make a virtue of obsequiousness

But the media has an enormous impact on the way people think so it ends up bleeding through

I know its a caricature at this point to call him bloodthirsty lunatic but he's sailing as close as is possible in mainstream media to the great replacement with his islamism is an existential (sorry "first-order") threat to western society (whatever that is) bits; the third from bottom paragraph also pins the blame on politicians and the public who just aren't willing to stack enough coffins apparently.

It's insane how a former labour leader has ended up just completely swallowed up by the 'kill their leaders and convert their population' neocon mindset.

The labour right are actually as bad or worse as the tory right in some ways and this is one of them.
As well as, obviously, the labour membership being more sexist and racist about who they want as leader

The Question IRL posted:

'Sup wiggidy wieners.

So I haven't seen my daughter in person since the start of the pandemic and I have finally bit the bullet and bought tickets to fly over to Glasgow to see her for her birthday.

From the Scot's goons, what are the odds that a lockdown will be declared before the middle of September, or am I fairly likely to be allowed travel over to Scotland and actually spend time with her?

There are rumblings of one happening soonish but the rule of thumb is basically that the SNP have to do whatever Britain does but worded differently, so if the tories lock down the SNP will do so probably slightly before to maintain kayfabe.

Just letting shops sell things by whatever metric they want is also a popular gov policy coz they don't actually have to do anything themselves, same with the crowns on pints

Negative numbers are just inverted numbers, it's pretty simple to intuit imo, or I never had an issue
If you draw them out on a horizontal line it means you have 1 and -1 to either side of 0 in the middle

I only found out about imaginary numbers recently but they just add a new dimension,
so if you're drawing them out, as well as the horizontal line going from 1 to -1 with 0 in the middle, there's a vertical line with i and -i with zero in the middle.
It makes every number 2d instead of 1d and makes for some snappy and easy 2d coordinate calculations.

And they do that simply by imagining there's a number that's the square root of -1(the square root of 1 is 1, but -1 x -1 is 1 again. Another square root of 1),
Well let's just say the square root of -1 is a number called i
same as we get negatives by imagining theres a number when you do 4-5 =?
Or fractional numbers by imagining there's a number when you do 7/2=?
Or imagining that numbers exist at all

Theyr called imaginary numbers derogitarily and it stuck, iirc the guy who proved them thought negative numbers were witchcraft and instead complicated things even more.
The polite term is complex numbers
But every number, even reliable old 5, who you'd think would never betray you, actually is a complex number that has an imaginary component, it's just zero, and you'd write it as 5+0i if you wanted to freak the normies.
I think it'd all be as easy to grasp as negatives if they'd taught anyone it as kids.

I probably got something wrong somewhere, I've only recently tried to relearn maths.

Maybe Starmer wants to step down but wants to ensure the PLP get to pick his replacement instead of the membership

Either way it has to be done, it's pretty obvious they've done a great job of discrediting the labour right and if they did things the same way as before we'd all just rejoin to vote in whichever candidate they hate the most

It's probably their most important move tbh, they'd have to be completely stupid not to. It'd be like if we hadn't implemented open primaries or made any effort to prevent the right wing taking over aga

Yeah he said that so that the 'left' wouldnt immediately fall into doing exactly what the right did and just wreck things for the sake of it. As soon as Kiers colours came out he was ripping on him as he should do.

Also Starmers essay is strikingly similar in both words and tone as David Camerons manifesto. Almost like it was stolen and rewritten.
