I like a big soup, but it is incorrectly named. I'd call it more of a medium stew

Cambridge itself is not a terrible place to be, but commuting there semi-regularly from Dublin sounds a bit horrid. Flying is presumably only a nice experience for people going first class or business class, for everyone else it's extremely tedious and uncomfortable also as a side note, on the last flight I was on there was almost nobody there, I'd guess about 20% capacity. I moved to a seat that had more leg room because I'm 6 feet tall. An air steward came and told me that I couldn't sit there because it wasn't my seat, despite the fact that there was nobody on that row, and nobody in front or behind the row. The plane had already taken off! He said he'd have to go and ask someone if it was ok. He said it wasn't ok and I said that it was ok and I wasn't going to move, and that was that. utterly stupid exchange really but how have companies destroyed our minds so much

Jaeluni Asjil posted:If I were Uk Dictator I'd have Patel incarcerated for inciting violence and hate speech. She really is an appalling creature. Is any of that stuff really going to hold up in court? Like, criticising Israel in a non AS way still gets labeled AS by bad faith actors and/or idiots, but in a legal setting surely most accusations would fall apart. Maybe I'm being naive, but I think that if something genuinely is not antisemitic then it should be fairly easy to defend as such if the trial is fair

jaete posted:Why would it not hold up in court? What is the judge gonna do, will they say ok let's look at the constitution... oh wait, there isn't one... where it explicitly guarantees freedom of speech.... oh no wait, it doesn't really... and also there's a lot of case law saying that this freedom of speech is very broad and protects all kinds of unpopular political opinions especially... or is there? Probably isn't Because accusations of antisemitism against non-antisemitic statements aren't logically coherent, I guess? They don't have to be for the poo poo to stick when it comes to smearing politicians in the media, but if actually scrutinised that should be apparent in many cases
