Welcome to the UK Marxism Thread, where we discuss dialectical materialism and dielectric materials. And Oberleutnant writes us a reading list. And hope dies. (Also UK Mega Thread; UK Manga Thread; Us, Korbyn's Many Trots) September: scandal, sedition, subterfuge, sensation. That has been the theme of the past month as we approach the annual Labour Conference (assuming they can find someone to provide security) and the results of the leadership election will probably lead to another round of petit coups and flouncing. In The News • Theresa May and Liz Truss want to go full tilt on scrapping the Human Rights Act and replacing it with a British Bill of Rights, which will be a binding constitutional document lol no really. • Southern Rail workers go on a five day strike. Jeremy Corbyn arranges a sit in on a Virgin train. • All BHS stores close following corrupt and deliberate mismanagement. • Following a 'mass stabbing' in London and an alleged increase in gang-related cosplay, the must-do-something brigade banned 'zombie knives', knives that are super deadly because they have violent words and colours. • The Night Tube opens, providing underground services from the Night Garden to Casino Night Zone. • Following the Isle of Man, Scotland has come under fresh pressure to expand civil partnerships, in opposition to the current report that they should be scrapped. Northern Ireland to redefine marriage as shouting Bible verses at a fleg. • Lord Rix did a public 180 on his views on the Right to Die following his becoming terminally ill, rumored to have taken the way out that he would have had others committed for. • The Airlander 10 hybrid airship replicates the British economic activity index on its maiden flight in Befordshire. • Team GB did an Olympics, it was good. • Team GB did an Paralympics, they got their disability scooters scrapped, gently caress everything (esp. Tories). • Junior doctors have planned the first ever five day strike in the history of the NHS. • Several towns in France ban the 'burkini', causing wide reaching controversy. Special Piss Po' Roundup During the month of August, Local Authorities used PSPOs for the following noble goals: • Teignbridge council has banned acting "in a manner as to cause annoyance...to any person." • Sandwell council made it illegal for "a group of three or more persons" to act "in a manner which causes or is likely to cause nuisance, annoyance, harassment, alarm or distress." • Wrexham County Borough Council criminalised "sleeping within Wrexham Bus Station in King's Street, and any public toilet facilities within the Town Centre during the hours of darkness." I can't wait for these to be used for any other purpose than harassing minorities, yoof, and homeless people.

spectralent posted:What the actual gently caress. Yeah I have zero recollection of the post-2001 mood of the UK either. This really isn't new RE: Muslims. They've been poo poo on repeatedly since 9/11, not since the referendum. This new case is just a response to France's lovely response to a terrorist attack. I mean blame the Brexit referendum if you want but lol try being a tanned person after 9/11 and claim racism was over until Brexit. I look Arab even to Arabs so I experience pleeeenty of this poo poo and ~surprise~ it's not related to any particular event just media coverage.

I'm aware there's been islamophobia for a long time, but I didn't think I'd get half the country gleefully trying to suppress a religion without brexit giving a wave to the "your racism is okay" crowd. Maybe it's france being fuckwits that's caused it instead. On that note, what the gently caress is happening in france? They seem to be trying to race trump to the bottom. EDIT: I mean I know about the terrorist attacks, I'm more wondering why the government's condoning ridiculously blatant religious harassment.

As some day it may happen that a scapegoat must be found, I've got a little list, I've got a little list. Of counterrevolution'ries who are often in the Graun. And whose work is frankly piss, I've got them on the list. There's those whose resignations could replace a metronome, Whose letters of departure had a sycophantic tone, Yet now they complain constantly of ev'ry past concern. A shame they didn't feel the need to mention it in term. At least their many articles elucidate this twist. I'm sure they'll not be missed, they'd none of them be missed. He's got 'em on the list, he's got 'em on the list; And they'll none of 'em be missed, they'll none of them be missed. There's the people who re-run elections 'till their choice prevails, The drat-ed centr-ists! I've got them on the list! And what about the people who think that democracy; Means “disenfranchise anyone who doesn't vote for me”. Whose disdain for the membership personifies disgrace, The reciprocity of which must be perceptible from space. Ensure your criticism of their actions misses home, Because the most important part of argument is tone. But don't let use of simile articulate your wish, We can only copy tories, all those others are dismissed. You may put 'em on the list, you may put 'em on the list, And they'd none of 'em be missed, they'd none of them be missed. The worst are those who think equality begins with wealth, Democratic socialists! I've got them on the list! We wouldn't want to win any election with ideas, That suggest the wealthy's owings might perhaps be in arrears, We mustn't spend on infrastructure that could have any use, Nor the myth of nation'l credit cards attempt to disabuse. It's better to continue like it's nineteen ninety four, And try to find an ersatz Tony Blair to take the floor, I'm sure that we'll win them back with “soft left” Owen Smith Because otherwise we're stuck, with that bearded Bolshevist. He'll put us on a list, he'll put us on a list, Like a bloody Stalinist, a bloody Stalinist.
