fuctifino posted:GE, followed by King Keith with Austerity 2.0 This. They want to lose now. There's nothing more they can do to loot and pillage and the full effects of their own disasters are about to cave in on their heads. The longer we go, the closer we get to those polls showing the SNP as His Majesty's Loyal Opposition. It's more important to get Labour in to fail to deal with the aftermath and be discredited themselves in turn, so some of them at least might be able to cling on.

domhal posted:Struggling to imagine what would discredit them with those who haven't already discredited (?) them, though. Visible inconvenience and suffering. One example will be the new regulations coming in on 1st January where UK citizens will need a visa to travel to Europe. The Costa del Jamon crowd are already getting angry about not being able to stay more than 90 days in their summer homes; I'm getting the feeling that the Tories would like to not appear responsible for them needing to ask permission just to go there.

Their Russian paymasters were literally paying them (and Farage) to bring about what the frog face Nazi oval office was being uppity for.

In the same way that the majority of English people support Brexit.

Mega Comrade posted:Nah I like the idea of uniforms. Takes away one aspect of peer pressure as a kid, they have enough of them, they don't need more. That's patently not what happens, though? You let kids dress how they want, the poor kid gets mocked for not being able to afford nice clothes. You make everyone wear uniform to take that away, and you get this story where the poor kid is being mocked for not being able to afford the official uniform. The issue is not what the kids have on their backs. Kids are little shits, there will always be peer pressure. The real issue is one of inequality of social status and wealth.

Pretty much. These women say Brand is a rapist and I believe them. But I want it properly proven, if possible, so he can be nailed to the wall. And if he's guilty but the courts fail to prosecute him I want that to be on them, I don't want them to have any excuse for protecting him.

Which is the right thing to do, as then they'll have to explain why and also why they didn't give her a hearing. Most people won't notice, but enough will. And the gauntlet has been officially thrown down by her pointing out that they're openly siding with a convicted paedophile and against her.

Tesseraction posted:Honestly if anyone has the right to be called Queen it's her and not Charles lovely mistress. Camilla is who Charles wanted to marry in the first place. They'd been romantically involved in the early 70s during one of the several hiatuses in her relationship with Andrew Parker-Bowles - they actually met because Parker-Bowles started dating Princess Anne, which should give you some idea how incestuous the noble class is - but then he got deployed overseas and she broke it off to marry her ex. It's part of why Tom Parker-Bowles is such a prick; he knows he fell one step short of being a prince.

Mega Comrade posted:Diana is the only royal I've ever thought isn't an irredeemable oval office. Diana was the worst oval office of the lot of them. A scheming, backbiting bitch who positioned herself to nab a prince then hosed anything in trousers because he had the bad taste to remain in love with the woman he actually wanted to marry. That was the galling bit for her, I think; she didn't really care if Charles loved her as long as she got to be a princess, but damned if he was going to love anyone else. But she played the media like a fiddle to paint herself as a martyr; then she got killed while being chased by the paps whose attention she'd courted relentlessly - not some conspiracy set up by Brenda, come the gently caress on people - and she became an untouchable saint. I'm shocked and surprised to see anyone here falling for it, though. I'd thought we had a higher level of media awareness in the UKMT. That said, Kate Middleton might be worse just because she was totally open about what she was doing and unlike her late mother-in-law, doesn't appear to have any limits to what she'll tolerate to be a royal. Bad as Diana was, Charles was wrong to have an affair with Camilla - she was married when it started even if he wasn't - and Diana was at least willing to give up the palaces and position over it, even if she did manage to style herself as "the People's Princess". Kate's also racist as gently caress. Diana probably was too, but again she kept it quiet.

Nuclear Spoon posted:other than her loving charlie around what are some examples here I could go into detail, but to boil it down: the royals are what they are. They're born to it, raised to it. You think they're cunts, that's fine. But around them there is a second layer of "nobility" who jockey for position and aspire to take that step up whenever there's an available heir, selling off their daughters for a little prestige. That second layer are far worse than the royals themselves because they want to be cunts and they actively try to become cunts.

kecske posted:the philosophers stone is some mythical ancient world doodad that turns metal into gold or something Yes. The philosopher's stone, which allowed the transmutation of base metals into gold, was one of the three pillars of traditional alchemy. The others were the panacea - a medicine that would cure all diseases - and an elixir that granted immortality. It's often analogised to becoming a perfect person in religion: the philosopher's stone symbolised turning your base spiritual self into incorruptible gold through pure thought and faith; the panacea represented physical purity, avoiding illness through maintaining good health and not practicing venery; and the elixir was the combination of the two, being the life eternal granted to the faithful through the grace of God.

I can tell you something now that I was legally bound not to say at the time: recruitment for Operation Unicorn, the plan for handling the Queen's death should it occur at her Scottish estate, was put in motion immediately after Philip's funeral. Nobody thought she'd last forever, but he was her rock and when he died it was anticipated that she wouldn't survive him more than a few months.

Nothingtoseehere posted:Part of the reason the cocaine price has dropped is also that supply from Colombia has increased, due to the peace deal with FARC making it easier to grow with less violence. Does that make it guilt-free? No, but if your looking into oppression of local farmers, neither are bananas. According to Stephen King, who knows a great deal about Bolivian bingo dust and isn't ashamed to admit it, high quality cocaine smells like bananas. It's probably better to stick up your nose, as well.

Rugz posted:What you are giving them is inherently being taken from another entity. Be that the state or another individual. If someone demands empowerment they are demanding the transfer of a thing from some other to themselves. All rights already exist, empowerment is just the transfer of ownership of those rights. Zero sum fallacy is what cunts believe. It is possible for someone to receive something without it first being taken away from someone else.

Rugz posted:Citation please. Don't worry I'll wait. With pleasure, dogfucker. Rugz posted:Why? What is the purpose of bodies such as the IOPC if every police interaction defaults to a trial? Funny you mention the other side of the atlantic since the entire ACAB rhetoric that seems to be seeping through is an American import. What you seem to be advocating is an overuse of the judiciary to govern police in some sort of attempt to make amends for previous cases. So I ask you how many not guilty verdicts would you like to see returned before the UK police are free to do their jobs? Now, I may be misinterpreting you here due to lack of clarity on your part, but it seems very much to me that you were saying "The system ruled that the police shooting all these black men was lawful, so there's nothing wrong with the system!"
