We'll be invading Argentina in August in the name of full colonial expansion. America will object but thats when WHAM, Washington DC gets hit by our entire stock of Trident missiles. Miliband will appear on TV to make a quip about "Return to sender" or something. No one laughs, everyone cries. Respect is total. There is only Miliband.

Not sure what good Alex Salmond could do tbh. UK politics is officially dead if Con-Lab happens. What use are good politicians in such a post-farcical universe? All the good points would drown in the wave of banally evil shite. On the other hand this seems like scaremongering from Cooholin/Fucktarded Idiot retard Hyena types. I get the impression the Tories are getting desperate and this is wholly their idea. This recent campaign by Labour against the SNP is a bit misguided but it's important to note that its saying "Don't vote SNP because TORIES!!!!!". The Tories are still the main foe in the attack. They're not saying the SNP is bad, just that it's a "wasted vote. This is bullshit but that's another issue. They just want to maximize their seats. This is just the surface level circus politics. A labour-SNP coalition is still more likely than Con-Lab. Regarde Aduck fucked around with this message at 17:18 on Mar 7, 2015 |

Kegluneq posted:This is a somewhat stupid article because Top Gear already covers those cars. I'm pretty sure Clarkson even reviewed the BMW i8 and loved it (up until he discovered it had a puny tank and surprisingly rubbish fuel economy). A lot of the criticism seems to be coming from people who haven't actually watched it and assume it's getting used as a mouthpiece for global warming denial or something when it basically isn't. Even when Jeremy does fart out Tory talking points it's done in the clearly understood context that he is an oaf. As people have already stated but it bares repeating: The giant following top gear has is not because people find it "funny". It's because they find Clarksons "blokey" non-pc ways to be aspirational. He "tells it like it is" which is code for "insults a working class mexican who's life is already pretty lovely" because being a mean jerk is fun and makes you alpha.

Well in this case they kinda threw themselves under the bus. Or got someone else to do it? Britain was just keeping its foot firmly on the accelerator and refused to swerve.

I'm on an direct line to the exchange and apparently this fucks with my access to superfast broadband because I don't connect to a cabinet. They are extremely vague whether or not i'll ever get it. Anyone else had this problem and had BT finally do something?

If you hold people to be your enemies then you should fully commit. If you do not desire the destruction of those who you oppose then why bother playing? Just settle down and watch eastenders or something.

Zephro posted:In other news: Didn't economists who know what they're talking about say that Britain would be stuck with low interest rates for years. And that it's the only mechanism keeping our economy going? Yet every month the papers act shocked that interest rates aren't moving and now seem to be falling. But I have no clue about economics.

Badger of Basra posted:What the hell is going on in your country that people are saying deflation is a good thing? 5 years of being told that not spending money on public services is a good thing because the country needs to get "in the black". We're a corporation you see. The average voter, when not being bear baited into being a rabid racist, is confused as gently caress.

Fans posted:Hah! See it's funny because you're mocking people who've had traumatic experiences with rape or abuse and don't want to be reminded of them. You card you. If they are actually so fragile they should get off the internet and into therapy. Not go into places full of people who may not care or simply do not know about whatever triggers and foolishly attempting to garner sympathy from strangers. As with all things you either win or lose. A lot of people put effort into losing. It's a real shame.

The issue is that anyone with such triggers is doomed. You can accuse others of being "jerks" all day long but these people either solve their issues or have a terrible life.

Coohoolin posted:A really dumb thing about the whole NUS "jazzhands" issue is the NUS actually calling them loving jazzhands. Conferences and political groups have been using hand signals to facilitate discussion without interruptions for ages now, even before Occupy (despite the picture): No one that uses things like this will ever achieve anything. A battle between the forces of evil who have no morals vs people who can't cope with clapping. Good loving luck.

EvilGenius posted:Tabloids are utter filth this morning. People with depression = 'mad men' who shouldn't be able to get jobs (plane crash co-pilot had history of depression). I've noticed depression slowly becoming something to mock people over even before this. The mechanism that makes it ok appears to be deciding the person is somehow terrible and that's why they are depressed. Rather than the reality that depression has warped their life.

Coohoolin posted:Estonia's an odd one- if you look up their economy there's a lot of red flags for neoliberalism, but the people (from my experience only) seem very progressively minded, the universities are appreciated, buses are free, housing doesn't seem to be an issue (a friend of mine moved back after finishing her photography course in college and lives in a two-floor house with her boyfriend- she's a freelance photographer and he runs a bar with his mates, that would not work over here) and as far as I can tell everyone has a nice amount of expendable income. I'm actually seriously considering doing my postgrad in Tallinn. Sounds lovely. Don't come back.

While British food is terrible it's terrible compared to Mediterranean and Asian cuisine. It is not terrible compared to the loving poo poo show that is American food. It's just the worst bits of all the cultures mixed together. A bit like their society. A hoo hoo hoo!
