Yeah just legalize coca leaf, import it from the workers' co-ops in Bolivia and Peru, people can make their own cocaine if they want, or just chew it to treat indigestion. You'd instantly get rid of 90% of the shady poo poo in the market. Or CRISPR algae to make cocaine and pull the rug out from under the market, surprised Boris and his laser rifles didn't propose that route, maybe his dealer threatened him.

It might be nice for the press to talk to the staff at the pubs and restaurants and cafes who are complaining that they just had their worst winter season on record and aren't getting any bonuses rather than the temporarily embarrassed discretionary spend people.

Guavanaut posted:I forget who, but one of England's fash heroes got kicked out of Hungary for being associated with them, as a group too racist even for Hungarian politics. So whatever they were in the past, their current namesake is this bullshit: quote:Dowson relocated to Budapest, Hungary, and has been observed in several eastern European countries with his latest venture, Knights Templar International (KTI), along with the former BNP leader Nick Griffin and a Hungarian anti-abortion campaigner Imre Teglasy. Dowson's last sighting, according to the Daily Mirror, was on the Turkey–Bulgaria border with the KTI supplying equipment to a vigilante paramilitary group, the Shipka Bulgarian National Movement, to hunt down asylum seekers. Dowson was subsequently reported as having developed close links with the Russian extremist Aleksandr Dugin, with Dugin aiding Dowson in the establishment of a Belgrade office for his internet activity in support of the "alt-right".

Also a really good way of increasing discretionary spend in the local economy would be to make sure that everyone can afford the basics, because then any wages on top of that tend to go to discretionary spend in the local economy. Media outlets only interviewing people who complain about taxes and rates deserves mockery.

I bet if you renamed 'disestablishmentarianism' to 'privatizing the CofE' you could get the tories to support it in an instant, it's pretty funny that one of the few Crown enterprises they haven't scrapped or sold off is the one that allows a bunch of old men to wander around the upper house scuppering all their plans.

Lord of the Llamas posted:If we taxed wealth properly then he probably could pay less taxes. Is your proposition that families with young children who are materially worse off than equivalent families 10 years ago and are facing decaying public services and a high interest high inflation economy should be paying more in taxes? Simply because he's baited into saying an ignorant thing by a hack journalist? I didn't realise we only wanted to improve conditions for the purest of true believers. I don't think he should be eaten by wolves or anything, but I don't think he was baited into anything, he's still in a trickle down economics bubble, which is probably in large part because of how insulated he was up until now.

Tesseraction posted:Oof the t-shirt is worse  Getting a conversation going around affirmative (or better yet enthusiastic) consent isn't the worst idea, but really that needs to start with getting young people comfortable with open communication first, which means shutting down all the people wittering about inclusive sex ed in schools. Just slamming a law in place without that and when rape conviction rates are abysmal as is will be worse than useless for all the reasons on the last page about drug laws plus more. I get the feeling that this is more 'publicity stunt' than 'good faith debate about sex and relationship education' though.

BalloonFish posted:Seems wrong to give this trivial culture war fantasy more thought than it deserves but, hey Over the course of my life, I've seen sex shops go from seedy dives like that episode of Bottom to brightly lit stores where women can get expertly fitted for lingerie, and porn go from sex offenders with access to a printing press like Hugh Hefner and Richard Desmond to women with advanced degrees in sex and gender studies doing talk shows about consent and relationships like Angela White. And some people are weirdly furious about this. I guess some of them are misinformed Mary Whitehouse types who think that more sex talk means more sex offenses, when the opposite is true, and some are old men who think that you're not allowed to have a wank in your garden shed now because of the wokes, but in the case of the Spectator, the newspaper of Rod Liddle and Toby Young's "ho ho, I am a paedophile, not really, but imagine if I was, wouldn't that be funny, ho ho" I am deeply suspicious of anything they say about the topic, regardless of who is saying it.

Zalakwe posted:Porn in general is known to be bad for the brain. Zalakwe posted:Edit: It should also be noted that studies have found BDSM practitioners tend to be healthy and well adjusted mentally I recall the sociologist Humphry Knipe saying similar about people who can't communicate their desires clearly turning to intimidation tactics and therefore more likely to be socially harmful, but thinking on it I can't remember exactly how he phrased that, only that he married erotic photographer Suze Randall, exposed a bunch of shady poo poo at Hefner's Playboy Mansion, and his daughter Holly Randall is famous as a reformer in the industry and sex talk host. And now I'm sad about twisto's passing because I'm sure he'd have some interesting insight into that web of people. crispix posted:i fancy you could have found the hardest 1990s gangster in north america and effin mary would have beaten that gangster into submission in a gently caress off "fuckin wat?"
