Orange order marches are the best thing. "My identity as a loyal British man is most clearly expressed by carrying out marches designed to incite violence between British citizens as part of an order set up to commemorate the victory of a Dutch dictator, who was parachuted into power by an oligarchy that deposed the rightful British king of England and Scotland, in a battle where he lead a mixed force of Dutch and Irish troops against the deposed King leading a mixed force of Scots, Irish and French troops. This battle occurred over 300 years ago and my order is named after the Dutch usurper's Dutch noble title. No act could possibly more clearly display my loyalty to Britain better than this."

I lived in the Netherlands for a while and fwiw they are flat out horrified by what the OO do with their royal house's name (the Dutch monarchs are still Oranje). This in a country desperately defending their right to blackface.

You're missing that the Dutchman (who was James II's nephew as well as his son-in-law, fwiw; he was third in line to the throne) was a Protestant, and the king was a Catholic. You can't separate religion from it (hell, those giant drums the Orangemen bang are called "Kick-the-Pope" drums), and the fact that William wasn't Catholic trumps everything for them.

Wasn't William of Orange supported by the Pope though against the Catholic James, who was supported by the French? Do the Orangemen conveniently forget that bit?

I went to watch that Pride film last night which is about the Lesbians and Gay Men Support the Miners movement in the 80s. An interesting analysis in grassroots intersectionality, amazing cast, great performances (excluding Andrew Scott's Welsh accent!!), some great period music and brilliant start to finish. I think I was crying for the better part of 40% of the film, with joy and sadness. Go see it, it deserves your support.

Saw this the other Friday in Dalston and absolutely loved it. There was a massive cheer after the "I help you, you help me" handshake speech. Could have done without Billy loving Bragg ruining the ending though.

HortonNash posted:Wasn't William of Orange supported by the Pope though against the Catholic James, who was supported by the French? Not overtly, but Innocent XI and the papal nuncio to the court repeatedly warned James II that he was moving too quickly in using his dispensing powers to suspend the Test Act/other anti-Catholic laws. The king's Jesuit confessor and advisor, Edward Petre, gets a lot of criticism from Catholic sources for pushing the king to move faster than the Church recommended and exacerbating the backlash. It's worth remembering, too, that the whole narrative of William and Mary saving Protestantism, liberty and parliamentary rule from cruel continental Catholic despotism was he dominant narrative taught in British (and American) schools up through the 60s. Like, Macauly, Treveylan, Elton etc. all wrote in that tradition. The Orangemen continue to push it, loudly. Very, very loudly.

Zephro posted:Refrigerated bread is seriously haram Dry and tasteless is edible. Mouldy is inedible. I am sorry but my poverty survival skills are very finely honed and I need no lessons from you spendthrift Hooray Henries with your room temperature bread  So there's lots of talk about how old Ed Millibands apparently forgot to show proper deference and offer sacrifices to the sacred current account in his fancy no notes speech yesterday. Regardless of why he omitted those bits, when the media started obsessing over it why did he not just say that he felt it was so obvious that it went without saying?

Because he left his notes face down on a glass table and they were photographed. Not that the press needed much of an excuse to continue savaging Miliband, but he just coated himself in BBQ sauce and jumped into shark infested waters.

Coppers aren't working class because they're essentially managers and supervisors for society. Low level management at the lowest ranks but still management rather than labourers.
