There's a good bit in the guardian about the cleaners' strike and how they're starting to unionise more, while companies push them into agency contracts to make it harder for them to strike https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2017/aug/01/some-days-i-feel-like-ill-drop-dead-britains-biggest-cleaners-strike

Can we just have a general strike by this point, literally no-one is happy about anything. Even the people who feel like they're getting what they want are still loving miserable.

It will not have gone too far until I can poo poo in a toaster and have nanobots turn it into toast in the same time that a current toaster takes to brown a slice of bread.

One of the biggest problems in both those strikes was actually the union officials and leaders. Once you get a paid staff running unions they naturally experience a conflict of interests - their livelihoods are contingent on the status quo and the union remaining legal and in the state's good books. Historically they opposed radical strike action by their own membership and sought to channel general strikes into quibbles with bosses over pay rises. If the membership becomes too radical the state gets antsy and the union's leadership positions are threatened along with the legal existence of the union. Look at the anti-union legislation that was enacted in this cou try after the miners' strike, for example. Today's unions have been deliberately engineered away from being weapons of class struggle and are now basically tools for negotiating pay rises with a limited ability to even represent and protect their own specialised and narrow memberships. Even so, i think syndicalism is the best chance we have of effecting social change today, but the starting point has to be changing the unions from the inside and from the grass roots. Ultimately unions need to be more socially conscious, more militant, and more willing to break the law. They need to be means to an end, not an end in themselves. But while union bosses "earn" £100k a year for being union bosses that aint happening. communism bitch fucked around with this message at 23:25 on Aug 1, 2017 |

They didn't progress much further, maybe because the police handled it better than beating an unarmed teen girl when people showed up to demand answers, maybe because the media kept a tighter lid on it, idk.

Not really though, movement for travel around Europe has always been Schengen/non-Schengen, not EU/non-EU. This is more to do with tougher non-Schengen checks because of various reasons, including migrant crisis paranoia. The Mail just wants to blame it on the EU. I bet non-EU Norway aren't being affected but Ireland are being hit as hard as the UK.

Sure, but what I mean is this: Harder border controls in UK: harder for others to come in (keep forrins out, good!) Harder border controls elsewhere: fuckers trying to keep us out! the nerve! they should kiss our feet in welcome always we're britane!

I'm about 90% sure that he has dementia. I'm not saying that as a joke, I'm not saying that because Chapo made that a subject in a recent episode, I'm saying that as someone who has watched close relatives succumb to it in recent years.

Same. And while people might get pissy about us armchair diagnosticians it should be pointed out that his actual physician's account of his health was incredibly suspect, employing even the same verbal tics the man uses himself. Hugely good health, excellent physically, etc. And then when the wokes get all annoyed about it because you're stigmatizing someone due to their mental health, it's really loving weird because if you have dementia that bars you from driving or operating heavy machinery but somehow being the commander-in-chief of the world's largest killing machine isn't considered a similar position of responsibility. Dude has holes in his brain, this isn't like FDR concealing his disability to inspire the American people this is like when my grandad got in the car at six in the morning and drove it into a ditch.

He's always been a huge prick and a narcissist, yes, but when he was a younger huge prick and narcissist he was much more consistent and articulate about it. Same way Reagan was a red-baiting reactionary piece of poo poo dimbulb all his life but there was a clear breakpoint where he actually went off the rails mentally.
