I like Lily Allen (she did a "gently caress you coalition" song last year) but she got some flak for a music video that was a bit poo poo about black women's body images, having a go at them for having "big booty" or whatever it was.

Edit: in no way am I suggesting she either a) drowns puppies or b) has admitted to preferring the wrong flavour of monster munch.

She does like monster munch though, that much is known. I can't source what kind though.

i dunno, you lot are uk-ers and i've read stuff indicating that people think she's a poo poo in previous iterations of the thread, i'm just curious as to why that would be

Lily Allen is a rich poo poo who hates paying taxes and feels the world owes her lots of things because she writes music. She had a strop and retired because people pirated an album of hers, and promptly dropped all that when she realised she still had to pay bills.

She's had a kid though so maybe shes metamorphosed into a nice person, and she always made alright music.

I'm not sure either. I think some people thought she had been cashing in on her multiple miscarriages by always talking about them in interviews (nm that she kept getting asked and had no interest in making that the headline quote).

She also had some black dancers in a music video once? :shrug:

If you base your drinking choices on anything other than bang per buck it's going to be what you see other people drinking, which was at the time more likely to be local brands. Underage drinkers from bad areas are also more likely to see people drinking in the street than indoors. In Newcastle and Manchester a teenager wanting to get blitzed could go into an off-licence and get a pack of a cheap local brand like Newkie Brown or Boddies. The big local brands in the Central Belt during the period when the neds discovered Buckie were pub ales like McEwan's and Younger's, which you wouldn't find being drunk in the street, and spirits that were more expensive than they could afford.

E: regarding the cost of Buckfast, it was jacked up a few years ago to try and take it upmarket. hookerbot, you may be able to get a few bottles of plonk for the cost of a bottle of Buckfast, but plonk is not a bottle of double-espresso Jagerbomb. Also wine is posh.

Newcastle Brown is not cheap. I guess it might have been back in the 70s or whatever before it started to be exported to the US as a trendy premium beer.

Oh christ. For anyone unfamiliar, its label is beautiful and also indistinguishable from the kind you find on washing up liquid

Tasting notes: cigarettes, syrup, very clearly artificial flavouring. I'm almost certain no bottle of this has ever so much as seen an apple.

Merrydown was amazing though. It was always my go-to as a poor undergrad for pre-drinking because it was cheap as hell, strong as gently caress, and actually not that bad all things considered.

I googled Lily Allen tax to see what she had actually said about hating tax and it's all links of articles of her talking about how tax avoiders are scum and slagging off Gary Barlow and Jimmy Carr for avoiding tax. Maybe she hated paying tax before but she seems pretty keen on it now.

I can kind of understand why people who make stuff that gets pirated hate pirates.

I've never thought of tax as being my money taken away from me, since I never interact with it or even see it except on my payslips. I imagine its more aggravating for self employed etc people.

Maybe people would be less "grr taxes" if every job advertised with the after tax salary somehow.

The pinko PC brigade at the Daily Mail attacking ARE BRITISH INDUSTRY for having the temerity to sell products to countries with a history of abusing "human rights" http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/art...-blacklist.html

Daily Mail posted:

Ministers slammed for organising arms fair to sell tear gas and rubber bullets to countries on human rights blacklist

Ministers have been accused of putting profit over human rights after organising a secretive arms fair to sell tear gas and rubber bullets to a host of authoritarian regimes.

The three-day 'Security & Policing Event', which is closed to the public and press, has been organised by the Home Office to showcase British anti-riot kit to dozens of foreign governments, including Saudi Arabia, Egypt and Vladimir Putin's Russia

Sniper rifles, phone-hacking equipment and specialist 'sound guns' will be available to help foreign police control uprisings.

The Government has publicised the event as a unique opportunity for arms manufacturers to market equipment 'which would be too sensitive to show in a more-open environment'.

Since the Coalition came to power in 2010, £15.9million worth of export licences for crowd-control have been approved by Vince Cable's Business Department.

This includes £10million of tear gas or 'anti-riot irritants', £640,000 of 'crowd-control ammunition' and £3.1million of riot shields.

Much of the kit is sold to democracies like France and the US. But crowd-control supplies have also been cleared for countries on the Government's own human-rights blacklist.

Nine of the countries to receive export approvals - Afghanistan, Bahrain, Colombia, Iraq, Israel, Libya, Pakistan, Russia and Saudi Arabia - feature or have featured on the Foreign Office's human rights blacklist of 'Countries of Concern' over the last five years.

The figures - compiled from Government data by the Campaign Against the Arms Trade - show that goods worth £6.7m were cleared for shipping to the nine countries between 2010 and last September.

Some £2.95m of tear gas was sold to Saudi Arabia and £228,000 of 'crowd-control ammunition' to Libya while Muammar Gaddafi remained in power, the Independent reported.

Andrew Smith, from CAAT, told the newspaper: 'This is a sign of a system that puts arms-company profits ahead of human rights. Weapons like tear gas have an indiscriminate effect and are synonymous with internal repression.

'The Government may have revoked the licence for tear gas to Libya, but it should never have been signed in the first place. Gaddafi was a brutal tyrant from day one, and this is a reminder that acts of oppression by his regime were carried out with British support.'

The government insists licences will not be granted when there is a 'clear risk' that the exports 'might be used to facilitate internal repression'.

In a statement, the Business Department said: 'We rigorously examine every licence application on a case-by-case basis against internationally recognised criteria.

'Risks around human rights abuses are a key part of our assessment and we do not grant licences where there is a clear risk that it might be used for internal repression.'

Can't sell nipple clamps and deep cycle marine batteries to the government in case it upsets a Pakistani, stew.

it's pretty irrelevant so just learn to ignore it.
if tax rates had developed over time to be a lower rate, it's not like you'd see the difference. you'd probably get the same approximate take home pay that balances maintaing the lifestyle you / your peers hope & expect to make the job attractive enough vs the company paying you as little as possible.
