My daughter has a touch of social anxiety to this day, which can be totally attributed to an incident when a girl in her school labelled her racist in front of the whole class (made a major drama out of it) because she innocently said in the library when they were reading that a girl in a book looked like the girl.
Queue the “you are racist, don’t you know it’s racist to say all black people look the same” comment and telling the teacher and whole class stopping and dealing with it. She was only 11.
A completely innocent comment led to one huge drama with teachers involved, with us having to go to the school to sort it out and stuff. The teachers didn’t deal with it very well either, swayed more in the favour of the girl.
She now can’t handle being the point of attention, things like reading out loud in class etc or if there’s any situation where all eyes could be on her, she freaks out. Even years later. Was never like that before.
Its not right what Beardsley said to a black guy. That’s an obvious racist remark.
But Noelle has a good point that there are times when people can innocently say something and it’s construed as racist.

Shelvey is 27, don’t think he’s going to shake off his lazy/complacent edge now, sell him asap imo

Missed longstaff today, not that the outcome would have been much different

There’s definitely another twist in this from Boris. Javid saying we will have to wait and see what happens.

Swedish parties have similar problems to here with a rise in people against immigration,
Immigration scored as one of the top issues in the 2014 and 2018 Swedish elections. The Sweden Democrats, who first joined Parliament in 2010, received more than 13 percent of the national vote in 2014, making it the third-largest political party. It improved on that performance in 2018, its 17.6 percent national share exceeded in some counties and municipalities. It has become impossible for either of the two traditional blocs to form majority governments, since neither bloc wants to govern with the support of the Sweden Democrats. This new situation may prompt a structural change to Swedish parliamentarianism. Predictably, Prime Minister Stefan Löfven lost the parliamentary vote of confidence following the 2018 elections. However, with no contender able to garner enough votes to become the new Prime Minister outright, a caretaker government was still in place at this writing, with the various parties struggling three months after the election to establish a ruling coalition that would not require support of the Sweden Democrats.

I hear this quite a lot. Would that just entail the Brexit Party not running candidates in certain seats at a GE or just not putting any up at all?
I assume (guess) he would not run candidates at certain seats Tory’s want to target .
Seen this in google news.

I'll confess to being slightly concerned by this insistence that we're still going out on the 31st whatever happens. It feels like they're going to do something genuinely mental next month.
How can there be anyone but the ERG left if they try to pull something like that though? I don't believe that there is a majority left in that party that will stand by and let Johnson try and ignore the law.
Got to agree with this, I think there’s another twist in this from Boris. But as far as I can tell any twist from here is going to be mental and cause an uproar, hence Rudd jumping over the edge now. Pact with Farage is my best guess.

missed this when it was shown on bbc4, fantastic watch for anybody who was in their prime perhaps during the mid to late 80s and what life was like in britain.
the blurb is....
A re-evaluation of acid house, a musical phenomenon that, as this film shows, did not spring out of nowhere, but owed its emergence to the social and political landscape of 1980s Britain
Oh fucking hell!! What was that tune on the intro first minute or two on this.. was it techno trance or something.. got goosebumps there haha, will give it a watch.
Edit, just sat and watched it, really good thanks.

First couple of seasons were good, lost it's way a bit since, but will give the new season a go after I finish startup.

Yeah the EU understands itself, that’s certain.

And what are your views on the backstop? I've seen some people talk as if we should just jettison NI, Ewerk be damned
I don’t know anymore man. As I said to Renton it’s become apparent I knew fuck all about customs union as things transpired.

I do agree the campaigning question (against their own deal) is difficult but there's nothing that bad about "we want you to vote remain but if you can't at least the other option isn't that bad" in my view - though I can see it's attackable.
Thats the problem, it’s completely attackable and will have another 2 or 3 years of back and forth imo. Over 17m people are going to see ANOTHER remain team put something together and say.. there you go - ta da - there’s your Brexit.
Then they campaign for remain.
How much shit do you think would hit the fan then?
As ewerk says it is probably irresponsible for Gov. to put no deal as an only alternative option..

As for Zerosum, one point you made that I was curious about. In your view, how was Mays deal anything other than hard Brexit? It killed freedom of movement and took us out of all institutions if i remember rightly. I ask because you refer to it as a hard-ish Brexit.
No I referred to it as not hard enough for some of the leave politicians. Maybe it’s my wording, it was late ..
They can’t get it passed because there’s many don’t want a backstop (mainly) .. so for a “deal” to pass it’s going to have to be a harder version of what she presented, to an extent.
-
Yeah, see your point. I think, at least I think I think ... that it’s pointless trying to get “another deal” if Boris flops out here.
The deals that have come back thus far have not been able to get the go ahead. I don’t think leavers in parliament want to compromise on anything less than a hard - ish Brexit. And even some remain don’t want to cut our arms off with some stuff, just to dress it up and say “it’s Brexit”.
So fuck it, let’s just get the elephant out of the room. Did people know they were voting for no deal?
No Deal - Remain.
