This is worth a watch imo just to see how many nukes have been blown up since they were first developed. Its a bit long though and doesn't really kick off until the 60s. The US loved testing bombs in the nevada desert https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LLCF7vPanrY

I suppose we should be thankful that there's a percentage of racists who never get more bold than feeling a bit rebellious when they eat a bacon sandwich and muttering "Take that, nanny state" but I wish they'd gently caress off bragging about it on the internet.

Whether their attendance allowances are set at the right level or not, it's nonetheless the case that the Lords is relatively cheap to run - the figures are a couple of years old but even though there's a third as many again Lords as MPs, the total cost of running the House of Lords is less than a quarter that of the Commons. MPs spend more on expenses alone than the entirety of the spending on the Lords.

loving MPs expenses bugs the poo poo out of me. Why on earth we don't provide housing in London for our MPs so they don't need to claim for second homes, I honestly don't know. Oh wait, no, it's because the people who would have to make the rules to make it happen would be the MPs and it's distinctly not in their interests to change what appears to be a pretty corrupt, easily-fiddled system which benefits them greatly.

Surprised you are not all proclaiming to be singing the Red Flag given the news this afternoon that Corbyn has secured the backing of Unite. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-33402438 quote:Britain's biggest trade union Unite is backing veteran left-winger Jeremy Corbyn as Labour leader. Corbyn actually stands a chance of doing it now, still a slim as hell chance but still better than where he was.

And the Guardian is talking about how if Labour want to win they're going to have to nominate the one that sounds the most like a tory. Will never understand the thought process behind "We must defeat the tories by copying the tories until we're indistinguishable." If Corbyn wins and doesn't become an Ed Miliband I will vote labour in the next general election

Crashbee posted:I think the last time this came up the consensus was that it would be a security nightmare. Because Parliament isn't already? Because the city of London isn't already generally? I dunno, I'm not really qualified to comment. It just feels like there must be some better solution than what we have currently where despite a MASSIVE scandal less than a decade ago, high-ranking MPs are still getting in trouble for fiddling their expenses. I mean, in the grand scheme of the country's budget it's a tiny issue, but it speaks to a bigger overall issue of parliamentary reform.

I'd quite like to see an update of the medieval system where the king, the Court and key officials spent half the year in procession around the kingdom, stopping off here, there & everywhere to show their faces and dispense justice. A roving Parliament would be pretty cool.

My 2 cents: Jeremy Corbyn: candidate of my heart: he's a good chap :3 Yvette Cooper: candidate of my head: she's tough, clever, experienced and seems to handle pressure well. Andy Burnham: the grey, generic guy who just wants to be leader. Liz Kendall: the Apprentice candidate. "I just KNOW I can do this, Sir Alan!"
