And even worse, there's a legend about them dumping Irishmen on Vestmannaeyjar

What's Scottish nationalism about then according to these people?

Nationalism without the nation

Dick Clark Productions?

I know there were protests over it, people wanting to end or limit controlled burning

And I know there are less instances of controlled burning than there were

But by how much Idk

I've also read a few stories like this quite recently

If Andrew didn't lose his titles, I doubt Harry and Meghan will

They need something to feel superior about

Conservatives aren't conservative, Labour aren't for labourers, LibDems aren't liberal or supportive of democracy, etc

It's weird how skewed our politics have become

I wish someone would

Nah weren't they cut in half with all the homeless people?

'From multiculturalism to feminism and environmentalism'

Ah yes, the only new political or social movements to matter

There is the problem of the Exclusive Economic Zones of France and the UK technically overlapping around the channel, but I don't know why France and the EU thinks it can claim it as theirs and not ours as well

It seems they're just allergic to compromise

Didn't we lose the original one though?

Cod war 2: French boogaloo

It should be reformed, abolishing it leaves a pretty sizeable vacuum

You'd need one to keep the other in check, which is the Lord's supposed purpose

Ye, 'supposed', but having one house is a bad idea if there isn't a way of checking and vetting what they pass

I suppose you could have the Monarch do that, but I don't think that'd last long

Rip Roger Scruton

We need both tbh

I swear they either have the least coherent narratives or the most coherent, 3d-chess-like narratives

It's like all the Californians moving to Texas and Arizona

We're getting tons of londoners where we are

That's exactly what happened near me

My village has 3 pubs, each catering to a different class of people

You can walk between all 3 of them in about 10 minutes

There used to be 5

The whole village grew up around a carriage-stop, and then every time a new development was added, a pub was seemingly also added

The villages around us have no pubs at all to my knowledge, so I assume we're providing for a wider area

Developing more efficient methods of resource extraction does not eliminate the scarcity of those resources

But AI will definitely make things a lot easier

My mother left before I was born...

My grandad was a bank robber, an odd choice given the rest of my family are police snipers

He died recently

Surrounded by his family

It is Milton Jones ye

Ah yes, literal paid thought police

I know some people who go there, they say it's not that bad

Although I doubt they know about this

There's a difference between an opinion piece and the press release for a scientific study

Sort of blows a hole in the whole 'nation of immigrants' thing

Which is what I was constantly told

Cool

If I had been born in China but to a white family, would I be Chinese?

If I had been born in Zimbabwe to a British family, would I be Zimbabwean?

There's a duality to Britishness I think

Ethnic and cultural

Although I don't think anyone can be ethnically 'British'

English

Scottish and Welsh as well of course

In that case no 'pure' races exist anywhere

If you view it as only the original settlers are native, it invalidates a load of different things

For instance, the Zulus are not native to South Africa, the Xhosa are, would you say the Zulus are not part of the 'Native' South African culture?

There's never such thing as '100%', but you can get 90% or above pretty easily

There's a difference between ethnically, culturally and officially British

Again, the 'only the original settlers are the natives' basically uproots 90% of the cultures on the planet

Ye

You guys realise where we get 'Anglo' from?

My name is hard to tag tbh

Looks like that one school librarian that none of the students like and all the teachers stay away from

The way people say stuff like this concerns me

They repeat it like a mantra

Because 'white' isn't a race unless it suits them

Didn't he used to be an immigration lawyer?

Apparently he was 'a solicitor specialising in human-rights issues'

Erm

Still reading on Sadiq for some reason

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/R_(on_the_application_of_Farrakhan)_v_Secretary_of_State_for_the_Home_Department

Didn't know about that one

It's theoretically easy to expel people, it's not easy to justify it

And the bureaucracy around it doesn't help

Mosely chose the most stupid symbol possible for his movement in my opinion

A lightning bolt?

I know it was supposed to be the symbol of a celtic god or something along those lines, but why a lightning bolt?

You could've had Excalibur

Or possibly a symbol the majority of Britons at the time would've recognised

A lion perhaps?

Agreed there

I think a white dragon or wyvern was also an Anglo-Saxon symbol

Yeah I know, I mean there was a separate but similar symbol

Remember, the best way to stop two people who really want to kill each other is to take away the weapon they're currently using

And then take away what they pick up next

Etc

A kick to the head can be fatal, better cut everyone's legs off

Remove the whole head to avoid fatal headbuttings

Thoughts are violence...

The term 'elected dictator' or elected dictatorship' says so much about the people that use it

Von der Leyen couldn't manage the German military effectively let alone the EU presidency, I think we're safe in terms of dictators from that direction, at least for a time

She certainly did a good job dystopifying said German military

All the equipment is falling apart and we're constantly running low on ammunition, but at least pregnant female soldiers can have a uniform that fits them
