Some combination of hung parliament and an unprecedentedly massive surge for third parties that makes it clear how completely disenchanted everyone is with the mainstream parties.

Then the long-overdue fire burns down parliament and every journo in the country gets to sagely comment on this metaphor for how badly politics in this country needs to be rebuilt from the ground up for the modern age.

Ummm...

Hung parliament followed by a huge fire certainly sounds like the start of something.

Oh yeah that's a different thing entirely because you have to victimise and threaten an actual person to do it. I just assume every mugger has a machete under their coat though so I'd probably just hand over my poo poo lol.


One of the things I enjoyed about Spain is that muggings are basically non existent.
Pickpocketing is a fine, but using threats or violence is jail time, so everyone just gets good at pickpocketing, so it's a game of skill.

I'm struggling to parse a coworkers opinion on something. I kind of only half give a poo poo to be honest, but I was wondering what the threads thoughts on it were. Basically, as a woman, she thinks that Muslim's and Islam are a threat to her, or at least, that the people and culture are very backwards on their views towards women. I can't deny that. She says, for example, that she wouldn't feel comfortable with her white daughter dating a Muslim boy. I guess I'm struggling to articulate why I think that's racist, even though I also think that as a man it's not really my place to say what cultures or people she should feel comfortable around.

It's a tricky one for sure, but obviously British culture is different to Saudi. Tell her you trust her abilities as a parent to have raised a daughter capable of independent thought, who is unlikely to become a subservient niqab wearing doormat just because she met a nice Muslim boy. That's assuming that this hypothetical boyfriend would even want her to become one.
