IDK if I can sum up what happens to you in your 30s and obviously it's not the same for everybody but one thing that's happened for me is that I've gone from hating folk music at the start of my 30s to thinking it loving slaps now in my late 30s.

Just listening to some Steeleye Span for the first time and it rules.

Saw Steeleye Span in Oxford when I was early 20s and was the youngest person in the venue by about 30 years other than my partner.

They played a bunch of concept stuff about Pratchett books, it owned.

And then it seems like a bunch of kids started using it as an insult for anyone being uncoordinated as a cruel jibe, and then the word becomes tarnished by that.

As someone who grew up in the 90s with a name that sounds not entirely dissimilar to the word, I can confirm this.

Too late, 90s-early 00s.
Wasn't it Byker Grove or Grange Hill that had a storyline back in the day to stop using the word as an insult.

BYKER! BYKER! BYKER! GROVE!

1998 saw the release of Jazz Jackrabbit 2, featuring the titular lagomorph's brother Spaz as a playable character.

I've got a penguin book of English Folk Songs and they are all on three main themes, sometimes combined:

1) Let's gently caress
2) Everyone I know is dead
3) Eat the rich

solid stuff

And Irish folk songs are:

a) I got too drunk but I'm fine, honest
b) I will never ever stop fighting the English
c) I met a beautiful woman
d) I left Ireland and will now be sad forever
e) I got tricked by a fairy

Or a combination of the above

In some sense the left needs more bastards - just the right kind of bastards, I guess. If he's good at his job and him being in his position is not causing impediments or injustice against those below him then it's probably a good thing he's in the position despite lovely views he holds...

But if people (particularly vulnerable minorities) within his organisation are saying that him being in his position *is* furthering injustice/inequality etc., acting from a position of good faith, they should be listened to.

Working out who's acting in good faith isn't always straightforward, and the person in a high-up position may genuinely be fantastic at the most important aspects of their job (in this case advocating for the interests of the workers) and it's all just tricky as gently caress. Also it's more of an issue the more somebody in such a position holds actual, abusable power over the people "below" them. You'd *like* to think that a union is going to be one of the most robustly democratic institutions we have left and so there should be strong safeguards against abusing what power but I know that's certainly not true of all unions.

I'd say the best path lays *somewhere* in between "give him a pass for being a nazi because he's good on the telly" and "anybody who has ever had an impure thought in their head should be excluded from daily life and sent to the gulag" but figuring out exactly where the line is, is not easy.

One thing's for sure though, we don't need to listen to Liberal dickheads like Femi and Supertanskiii about this, or anything else. They can get in the loving sea, now and forever.

If Blair gets a pass from the media in general for siding with Putin against Muslims (both by saying we should ignore Crimea in 2014 because we need Putin as an ally against ~Radical Islam~ and by arming Russia against the Chechens in 2000) then Dempsey should get a pass for dodgy connections fighting fascists.

Incredibly, though, it seems that being tarred by association only happens on the left? I'm shocked.

It was more about stuff like internal racism in the RMT, which he's historically been lousy at dealing with (and has sometimes worked to perpetuate) according to the union's own equalities reps, and working to publicly discredit a victim of domestic abuse because the perpetrator was one of his buddies. Not just guilt by association, but personally using his platform to be a bit of a poo poo.

Oof, yeah ok that's not great if true.

Half of the ones quizzed seem to be all in on the death penalty and "kids these days don't respect traditional British values" so it sounds more like the former, unless the youth are a lot more reactionary than expected.

Traditional British values are garbage so I'd expect the lack of respect to be willingly admitted.

If Harry took the throne would he be the first or second of his name? Does Harold Godwinson count?

Numbers are a Norman invention, before that everyone had interesting names like Æthelred the Unready or Edmund Ironside.

e: But Harry is short for Henry, not Harold anyway. Henry Charles Albert David. So he'd be Henry IX or possibly Charles IV, or Albert or David. Or some other poo poo, I think you can do what you want when you're the monarch really.

e2: The real fun would be his kids. King Archie? Queen Lilibet (or Diana?)
