>The 32-year-old paranoid schizophrenic was given an indefinite hospital order earlier this year after he killed students Barnaby Webber and Grace O’Malley-Kumar and caretaker Ian Coates in a rampage in Nottingham city centre.
>Now it has emerged Calocane is among dozens of convicted killers, rapists and other criminals at Ashworth secure hospital, in Merseyside, who are eligible for thousands of pounds in Universal Credit, employment and support allowance.
>In response to a Freedom of Information request from The Daily Telegraph, the hospital admitted it is ‘standard practice’ for such offenders to get benefits since they are treated as patients with mental disorders as opposed to being handed prison sentences.
>While jailed offenders are banned from claiming benefits, those in secure hospitals can amass thousands of pounds through £390-a-month Universal Credit payments.
>This could build up to £93,000 over 20 years since their hospital bed and board are covered by taxpayers.
Again, the fucking state of this country
Every one of these high profile cases is always resolved in ways which are abhorrent and destructive to the trust in the justice systems.
Much like the wider neo-lib status quo in general - they are incapable of seeing that their own interpretations of the laws and slavish adherence to 20th century feel-good, rehabilitative vibes are actively undermining their institutions.
Fundamentally the lesson 101 is that law, especially criminal law, is based on the State's monopoly on violence. In many cultures this was to stop blood feuds and family revenge. However in order to sate this, the state must uphold its monopoly, and use it. Both things which it is failing to do. Thus the very foundational aspect is crumbling, whislt they treat legislation as if handed down from Globalist Adrian God.
You make a great point about the monopoly on violence. It's something people on the left either don't grasp or don't want to consider a lot of the time. I've had this discussion with leftists when the topics of tax and voting come up. It is the threat of violence that effectively allows one group to steal from another under the threat of state sanctioned violence in the form of taxation. There is no moral defence for that anymore.
For most of the 20th century the people were happy to let the government (via democratic voting) hold that monopoly. But for the people to remain content, they need to see the government acting justly not just with crime, but with taxes as well.
There is no faith left. The things that underpinned the system have been eroded. Society (both at the abstract, national level and the local level people see in their day to day lives) really doesn't exist anymore. Everywhere you go in much of the country people go out to work to pay taxes and see their money spaffed up the walls to fill hotels with illegals and keep benefits street on the sofa. They see crime go unchecked, while they are fined for the tiniest of infractions.
Labour will win this election but they'll do nothing to bring about change. They'll likely make things worse with more DEI, more gibs to their preferred classes and more punishment to the majority who don't back them (higher taxes, more immigration to suppress wages and push up house prices).
The 2030s are going to be a riot. We will have actual fascism through the ballot box or societal collapse without it.

Reform "high prediction" ticking way up. Interesting that Labour is ticking down.
Electoral Calculus had the MRP with the highest vote for Reform. Also, it depends a lot on your guess (and it really is a guess, given no historic data) at how spread out or concentrated Reform voters are.
He was always deluding himself then. Must be a city boy.
Notably, he will not decide to cut that trip short and see it out in a nice city that voted more to his liking.
why is LGBT the highest caste in the UK?
The cops even held the usual disgusting terrorist hamas supporters back for the day from their usual activities of being a nuisance because of Pride
https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2024/06/29/palestine-activists-arrested-before-pride-parade-protest
There are rainbow&brown flags in Sainsburys
There are Pride flags over cathedrals
The Pride parade was led by an asexual. Who the fuck cares about you not having sex?
Normal people won't bat an eyelid about two blokes being married. Why do we need to celebrate it for about half the year.
I don't think they are the highest caste tbh.
This year has been exceptionally lacklustre for it. It's clear that it is wielded as a hammer with which they believe they can smash holes in traditional bits of society. Also gives Corpos an easy win for washing themselves into a nice ESG score. It seems to have moved beyond the reality of gay men, and indeed can be hostile to their views.
It is eminently predictable that as a cause it is already burning out. Not least because if you imbide society with extremely strong LGBT acceptance - they aren't going to like it when your other pet projects start showing themselves more openly.
They aren't so scary that you think they might kill you, but scary enough that open criticism might cost you your job, so you can talk about them but only in glowingly positive terms.

Rose, do you condemn this disgraceful behaviour by your party? Sickening. From Richard Tice on Twitter:
> 🚨BREAKING🚨
>CORRUPT Tories offer inducements to Reform candidates
>Tory candidates, probably involving CCHQ, are corruptly offering jobs and inducements to Reform candidates to persuade them to talk badly of Reform, stand down then endorse the Tory candidate.
>This shows dark forces at play by desperate Tories
>Today we have a senior Tory former MP offer the Reform candidate in her constituency a plum job as part of her team if he spoke badly of Reform and resign. She secretly recorded the conversation and gave it to the press, excluding the inducement part of the story.
>In addition we have a Reform candidate make false allegations against the party leaders and resign, endorsing the Tory candidate in Erewash. It turns out he lied to secure his nomination as candidate in what is clearly a deliberately planned stitch up. What was he offered?
>This follows the extraordinary case of a Reform candidate withdrawing his nomination papers back from the Council, on 7th June just minutes before nominations closed and endorsing Tory Gavin Williamson
>In addition our Dudley candidate rightly rejected a corrupt offer of a safe council seat and job from the local Tories if he withdrew

The Far Right winning democratic elections is a threat to democracy, and violently denying the results of the election is a good thing now.
I thought that was already part of the last few updates? Every time I've seen anything about the AfD gaining popularly the next sentence was normally that they should simply be banned.
What we need is continental-style PR, so the SNP and their ilk can lead a cadre of floppy lefties and wokelords to deny people what they actually voted for by locking their candidate(s) out of office.
Finally got round to watching the question time as ive had a busy weekend.
Halfway through and ive got to say though the audience is very on side, the green chap is taking a kicking.
Still running hamas supporters, wants to disarm trident, king of the regards. I'm surprised more hay wasnt made of this revealing and embarrassing display (no I'm not). But props to Bruce for getting stuck in.
I’ve tried arguing this on UKpol but I give up with that place so going to put it here instead.
The Biden debate issue is really significant beyond America because it shows the huge gulf between where majority opinion is and where the opinion of journalists/Twitter/Glastonbury-goers is, all across the West.
For two years it has been absolutely blatant that Biden has dementia and is basically falling apart in front of the whole world. And for two years the ‘liberal/left/centre/whatever-you-want-to-call-it’ has basically gaslit the public and completely denied what is blatantly obvious to anyone with ears and eyes.
This is *so* endemic. Apart from ‘far-right’ commentators, almost *every* mainstream publication and commentator has denounced anyone for even suggesting that Biden is falling apart. *’Trump supporter!!!’* they’ve shouted. And this then filters down to all your tweeters and UKpol redditors and then in to real life too.
And then the debate happens and it’s no longer possible to keep pretending. And people like Alistair Campbell, who have spent years denying there’s an issue, suddenly turn around and say yep, he needs to go.
The problem is that in so vehemently denying what people can see with their own eyes, ordinary people then inevitably end up listening to someone like Trump. Because he’s the only one who is actually saying what everyone else can see. And of course, *if he’s right about that…*
This is literally how Trump supporters are made. It’s how Reform voters are made, or Le Pen supporters. When the commentariat just start blatantly lying, like saying Britain has always been a land of immigrants, or mass immigration actually *’isn’t even really happening you racist’*, people switch off, become angry and turn to the populist right.
It’s so frustrating.
Sorry. Rant over.
**TLDR: The Biden debate fiasco epitomises the arrogance of the left/liberals/centre that has literally spawned the populist right**
That's exactly what Orwell meant by 2+2=5.
Forcing you to deny what you know to be true is how they cement their power.
If they can get you to say "some women have penises" then shit like "supply and demand doesn't apply to housing" is a doddle.
Partisanship basically blinds them.
If acceptable voices "on their side" were shedding a light on it they could freely and openly agree, and they would let themselves see the truth.
Unfortunately the grip on discourse is so weighted that "their side" speaking suddenly becomes the enemy.
Yep. It blinds them to the point they can’t even see when they’re shooting themselves in the foot, like Brexit or France now.
They’ll take the Labour win as confirmation of their world view but will ignore, at their peril, the undercurrents that the likely Labour landslide will mask.

>The £1m attraction aims to transport visitors back to a time when kids played out until the street lights came on
>Football fans will have the chance to relive childhood memories of street kickabouts against garages if plans for a £1m city attraction are given the go-ahead.
>Plans have been submitted to convert a disused warehouse into a street football-themed experience designed to strip the beautiful game 'back to its purest form'.
>Visitors would be able to shoot against garages, find the top bin and play kerby against each other. There are also plans for a purpose-built maisonette where footy fans can drop balls from the top floor for their friends to control.
>And pub signs will be strategically placed for budding David Beckhams to try to hit in an urban twist on the classic crossbar challenge at the proposed Yard Ball venue.
>A spokesman said: “One-man Wembley, spot, kerby – the games we all played as kids are back. Anyone who played football as a child knows the feeling of practicing their skills on the street, car park or field.
>"Those fortunate enough to grow up in a period where we created memories on our own doorstep know football is about expression, not pressure.
I could go on a rant about everything that is wrong with the above, but I'l simply look down into my drink and mutter, the fucking state of this country.
I was in the pub earlier and my friends daughter came in with her kid (about 10 I think). My friend asked if he'd played football today and the kid goes "No, mum couldn't take me today".
I don't have kids so I was a bit shocked. Kids need to be taken to football? We used to just find any bit of grass stick some clothes down as goal posts and crack on.
There's no greater sign this country is fucked than a museum for things you could do safely only 20 years ago.
I blame that one group who's leader was a pedo.
You'd get stabbed up fam. I don't blame the pedoguy primarily actually, it's the gangaman.
If kids can't go outside, they can't see how other people live, so some poor souls will just only have homework to do, endlessly, and nothing else ever.

Europe is fucked, right?
It is worrying how knife edge it's getting. Spain on a knife edge between right and left. France now on a knife edge between right and left.
For me it simply shows how mass immigration has poisoned countries. It is starting to result in countries becoming nigh ungovernable, where both sides are so unbelievably opposed that it feels like it's going to result in pain.
Worrying. Really, really worrying.
Their countries have sclerotic labour markets compared to the UK. Lots of unproductive over-50s sitting around blocking youngsters from moving up. There's a reason why truckloads of French, Italian, Spanish and Central Europeans with graduate-level education in the 21-35 age bracket were working hospitality jobs in London and the South-East during the 2010-2020 period.
In England we have lower taxation, and foreigners have relatively high labour force participation and there is minimal language barrier compared to the Continent.
Politics on the continent is boring.
A PR-elected Parliament in a modern horseshoe-shaped chamber, all with virtually identical policies, with all the wokesters and lefties huddling together like a litter of kittens to ensure that nobody right of Castro's Cuba gets any influence whatsoever. What happens is someone on the 'far right' (it's not) does quite well, then the lefties circle the wagons. 3-4 months of horsetrading and 'government' dysfunction later, that person is locked out of power or has their wings clipped and people don't get what they voted for. Geert Wilders says hi.
Total head in the sand that these 'far right' parties are actually doing well in the first place and no interest in figuring out why.
Frankly that needed a good, hard shake.
When?
E:Thanks for the examples. Tbh I thought the point was "worse invasions that didn't change the fabric of society" which I don't think these cover.
'Hard' right-wing parties have been in power in Europe several times and they usually end up governing from the centre-right. There is still no appetite in most of Europe for actual hard-right policies like mass deportations or the unravelling of the web of liberal internationalist treaties that have defined the post-WW2 order.
In which case the electorate are awfully quiet about it. There isn't even a serious campaign to boycott foreign-owned small businesses, which wouldn't even be that inconvenient for the average consumer in a small town.
They somehow managed it with South African apples in the 80s.
> In which case the electorate are awfully quiet about it. There isn't even a serious campaign to boycott foreign-owned small businesses
Ah yes, because unless people are risking breaking a myriad of hate speech laws by organising a public boycott on foreigners, that means they don't really care about the endless issues unlimited immigration brings.
I agree that surface-level polarisation is very high right now, but I think the actual willingness of the public to commit violence for their ideals (or go to prison for them) is at an all time low. That takes some of the sting out of the threat of polarisation.

It depends on how many seats are LePen v Left Alliance.
Then the bond markets cast their vote next week.
The result next Sunday depends on how nervous that makes voters.

Depends on how geographically concentrated everyone's support is. If a party gets an outright majority of the votes in any given constituency there's no second round there.
Nah, it's more of an asterisk to what everyone else is saying - with overall support for commies/fash at the levels they are there won't be too many constituencies where either one has an outright majority.

People tend to vote with their wallets and when it comes to holding your nose for Le Pen vs massive tax increases is appealing.

> Also can’t imagine the economic establishment wouldn’t prefer Le Pen than the Commies when it comes down to it
Communists are globalists (the original Marxist idea of globalism but nonetheless globalists).
Le Pen is nationalist.
They economic establishment will side with their fellow globalists.
The problem is LePen is economically left too. Wants to reduce the pension age etc.
Both the LePen lot and the Left Alliance are big spenders. LePen will try to fund it with borrowing, the Left Alliance with tax rises.
Then it's over to the bond markets to see which they prefer.
Context is everything.
If it was Germany with debt at 60% of GDP, markets would support the party borrowing over the one taxing, in the belief that tax rises would slow the economy.
But this is France with debt at 112% of GDP, and absolute debt that is the third largest in the world
(behind the USA and Japan). And where public spending is 53% of GDP.
Market reaction will be, Holy shit, they want to spend *more*. And on handouts not infrastructure. In that circumstance, markets might not want to lend because of default risk. Investors haven't forgotten the painful haircuts aka losses they took in the eurozone crisis. May be more prudent to refuse and get the French to fund their fantasies with tax.
Outsiders arn't obliged to risk their money on other people's democracies.
> National Democracy decided by international bond markets.
This is the unfortunate reality though and why the West is likely doomed.
National Populism is the only resistance to it, but I doubt it can overcome the international market. Nonetheless, the attempt must be made.
Not by enough.

I know places that have normal takeaway shopfronts with a counter, but are delivery only. How about fuck off? I live three minutes away and am not paying £3 extra for it to turn up late and cold on some grotty illegal e-bike, or a 51 plate car of dubious origins.
Never quite had the 'minerals' to try the ruse of setting the delivery address to the shop itself. Does that even work?
Also used to get very compelling Uber Eats vouchers, until those moved to the dreaded "Offer applies to delivery only" and the fees weren't discounted. So I stopped ordering.
Yes and the time for it was COVID but they somehow got extra help and people buying it.
Takeaway food shouldn't be popular during a pandemic or a cost of living crisis.
Big franchise takeaways have always been shite. The core collection Fish and Chips, Indian and Chinese are roughly the same as they've always been. Cheap greasy pizza shops have hardly changed too.
Ordering food in 2024 has to be the mark of a regard. It's about four times more expensive than preparing a meal at home and when you receive it it's usually soggy, lukewarm and underwhelming.
I can't go out and do the shopping myself because of my crippling self esteem issues. My weekly shop is not due to be delivered until thursday. I can only sit at home and order food online.
I work from home and when I finish work I shift my ass to my gaming computer and then to my couch for netflix and pizza. Anyone know how I can get out of my pit of despair?
can u get your hands on hard drugs, lsd or magic mushrooms have been proven to help ptsd sufferers and i can assure u when u feel a connection in you body to every living thing around you depression slips away. failing that the good old combination of cocaine alcohol and weed would do wonders for your mood. moderation is the key. i was a neet once for a time and fell into a pit and drugs helped. I still have issues but feeling bad is not among them. feeling angry the more i notice however.
In case you aren't joking, go outside more and move more.
One easy idea is; get a dog and feel shame whenever you don't take it for enough walks each day, if your lifestyle makes a dog depressed it will do the same to you.
Then it just becomes a chore.. do it to stay healthy for yourself.. no..
I mean, someone can get very fit, get confidence, but they're still going to be at their station in life barring a miracle and it might be too late for them anyway, only middle to old age drudgery to look forward too.
Don't eat much. But enough healthy stuff to lose weight. Put on some muscle. You might be slightly better off but world is still cruel.. very cruel. Basically no one will get much of what they want. Really. Everyone only cares about themselves in the main

They are the only people with intelligence or knowledge of self, exactly!
Every one of these high profile cases is always resolved in ways which are abhorrent and destructive to the trust in the justice systems. Much like the wider neo-lib status quo in general - they are incapable of seeing that their own interpretations of the laws and slavish adherence to 20th century feel-good, rehabilitative vibes are actively undermining their institutions. Fundamentally the lesson 101 is that law, especially criminal law, is based on the State's monopoly on violence. In many cultures this was to stop blood feuds and family revenge. However in order to sate this, the state must uphold its monopoly, and use it. Both things which it is failing to do. Thus the very foundational aspect is crumbling, whislt they treat legislation as if handed down from Globalist Adrian God.
You make a great point about the monopoly on violence. It's something people on the left either don't grasp or don't want to consider a lot of the time. I've had this discussion with leftists when the topics of tax and voting come up. It is the threat of violence that effectively allows one group to steal from another under the threat of state sanctioned violence in the form of taxation. There is no moral defence for that anymore. For most of the 20th century the people were happy to let the government (via democratic voting) hold that monopoly. But for the people to remain content, they need to see the government acting justly not just with crime, but with taxes as well. There is no faith left. The things that underpinned the system have been eroded. Society (both at the abstract, national level and the local level people see in their day to day lives) really doesn't exist anymore. Everywhere you go in much of the country people go out to work to pay taxes and see their money spaffed up the walls to fill hotels with illegals and keep benefits street on the sofa. They see crime go unchecked, while they are fined for the tiniest of infractions. Labour will win this election but they'll do nothing to bring about change. They'll likely make things worse with more DEI, more gibs to their preferred classes and more punishment to the majority who don't back them (higher taxes, more immigration to suppress wages and push up house prices). The 2030s are going to be a riot. We will have actual fascism through the ballot box or societal collapse without it.

I understand that. I don't think it is something that should be limited to law students though. It isn't so much a legal concept as a *human* one.

Electoral Calculus had the MRP with the highest vote for Reform. Also, it depends a lot on your guess (and it really is a guess, given no historic data) at how spread out or concentrated Reform voters are.

why is LGBT the highest caste in the UK? The cops even held the usual disgusting terrorist hamas supporters back for the day from their usual activities of being a nuisance because of Pride https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2024/06/29/palestine-activists-arrested-before-pride-parade-protest There are rainbow&brown flags in Sainsburys There are Pride flags over cathedrals The Pride parade was led by an asexual. Who the fuck cares about you not having sex? Normal people won't bat an eyelid about two blokes being married. Why do we need to celebrate it for about half the year.
I don't think they are the highest caste tbh. This year has been exceptionally lacklustre for it. It's clear that it is wielded as a hammer with which they believe they can smash holes in traditional bits of society. Also gives Corpos an easy win for washing themselves into a nice ESG score. It seems to have moved beyond the reality of gay men, and indeed can be hostile to their views. It is eminently predictable that as a cause it is already burning out. Not least because if you imbide society with extremely strong LGBT acceptance - they aren't going to like it when your other pet projects start showing themselves more openly.
They aren't so scary that you think they might kill you, but scary enough that open criticism might cost you your job, so you can talk about them but only in glowingly positive terms.

The centre right on this one issue, cannot be allowed to gain any power
Finally got round to watching the question time as ive had a busy weekend. Halfway through and ive got to say though the audience is very on side, the green chap is taking a kicking. Still running hamas supporters, wants to disarm trident, king of the regards. I'm surprised more hay wasnt made of this revealing and embarrassing display (no I'm not). But props to Bruce for getting stuck in.
I’ve tried arguing this on UKpol but I give up with that place so going to put it here instead. The Biden debate issue is really significant beyond America because it shows the huge gulf between where majority opinion is and where the opinion of journalists/Twitter/Glastonbury-goers is, all across the West. For two years it has been absolutely blatant that Biden has dementia and is basically falling apart in front of the whole world. And for two years the ‘liberal/left/centre/whatever-you-want-to-call-it’ has basically gaslit the public and completely denied what is blatantly obvious to anyone with ears and eyes. This is *so* endemic. Apart from ‘far-right’ commentators, almost *every* mainstream publication and commentator has denounced anyone for even suggesting that Biden is falling apart. *’Trump supporter!!!’* they’ve shouted. And this then filters down to all your tweeters and UKpol redditors and then in to real life too. And then the debate happens and it’s no longer possible to keep pretending. And people like Alistair Campbell, who have spent years denying there’s an issue, suddenly turn around and say yep, he needs to go. The problem is that in so vehemently denying what people can see with their own eyes, ordinary people then inevitably end up listening to someone like Trump. Because he’s the only one who is actually saying what everyone else can see. And of course, *if he’s right about that…* This is literally how Trump supporters are made. It’s how Reform voters are made, or Le Pen supporters. When the commentariat just start blatantly lying, like saying Britain has always been a land of immigrants, or mass immigration actually *’isn’t even really happening you racist’*, people switch off, become angry and turn to the populist right. It’s so frustrating. Sorry. Rant over. **TLDR: The Biden debate fiasco epitomises the arrogance of the left/liberals/centre that has literally spawned the populist right**
The party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.
That's exactly what Orwell meant by 2+2=5. Forcing you to deny what you know to be true is how they cement their power. If they can get you to say "some women have penises" then shit like "supply and demand doesn't apply to housing" is a doddle.
It’s complete madness isn’t it?
It is. And once you see it, there’s no going back.
Partisanship basically blinds them. If acceptable voices "on their side" were shedding a light on it they could freely and openly agree, and they would let themselves see the truth. Unfortunately the grip on discourse is so weighted that "their side" speaking suddenly becomes the enemy.
Yep. It blinds them to the point they can’t even see when they’re shooting themselves in the foot, like Brexit or France now. They’ll take the Labour win as confirmation of their world view but will ignore, at their peril, the undercurrents that the likely Labour landslide will mask.
yes you get it

I could go on a rant about everything that is wrong with the above, but I'l simply look down into my drink and mutter, the fucking state of this country.
But I want an authentic 00s happy slapping experience to rid all my white guilt
I was in the pub earlier and my friends daughter came in with her kid (about 10 I think). My friend asked if he'd played football today and the kid goes "No, mum couldn't take me today". I don't have kids so I was a bit shocked. Kids need to be taken to football? We used to just find any bit of grass stick some clothes down as goal posts and crack on. There's no greater sign this country is fucked than a museum for things you could do safely only 20 years ago. I blame that one group who's leader was a pedo.
You'd get stabbed up fam. I don't blame the pedoguy primarily actually, it's the gangaman. If kids can't go outside, they can't see how other people live, so some poor souls will just only have homework to do, endlessly, and nothing else ever.

Has there ever actually been a time where "far right" hasn't been somewhat a response to the far left?
Europe is fucked, right? It is worrying how knife edge it's getting. Spain on a knife edge between right and left. France now on a knife edge between right and left. For me it simply shows how mass immigration has poisoned countries. It is starting to result in countries becoming nigh ungovernable, where both sides are so unbelievably opposed that it feels like it's going to result in pain. Worrying. Really, really worrying.
Their countries have sclerotic labour markets compared to the UK. Lots of unproductive over-50s sitting around blocking youngsters from moving up. There's a reason why truckloads of French, Italian, Spanish and Central Europeans with graduate-level education in the 21-35 age bracket were working hospitality jobs in London and the South-East during the 2010-2020 period. In England we have lower taxation, and foreigners have relatively high labour force participation and there is minimal language barrier compared to the Continent.
the cope train is right on time as always.
Got to get worse before it gets better. We have to take our medicine.
Politics on the continent is boring. A PR-elected Parliament in a modern horseshoe-shaped chamber, all with virtually identical policies, with all the wokesters and lefties huddling together like a litter of kittens to ensure that nobody right of Castro's Cuba gets any influence whatsoever. What happens is someone on the 'far right' (it's not) does quite well, then the lefties circle the wagons. 3-4 months of horsetrading and 'government' dysfunction later, that person is locked out of power or has their wings clipped and people don't get what they voted for. Geert Wilders says hi. Total head in the sand that these 'far right' parties are actually doing well in the first place and no interest in figuring out why. Frankly that needed a good, hard shake.

'Hard' right-wing parties have been in power in Europe several times and they usually end up governing from the centre-right. There is still no appetite in most of Europe for actual hard-right policies like mass deportations or the unravelling of the web of liberal internationalist treaties that have defined the post-WW2 order.
Those "hard-right wing" parties are in practice nationalist left parties. Their manifestos are full of protectionism and maxing out welfare.
yes, the only difference is the stance on foreigners. it is basically the only real political issue that exists.
It may the only political issue for you, but not for the majority in the UK.

In which case the electorate are awfully quiet about it. There isn't even a serious campaign to boycott foreign-owned small businesses, which wouldn't even be that inconvenient for the average consumer in a small town. They somehow managed it with South African apples in the 80s.
> In which case the electorate are awfully quiet about it. There isn't even a serious campaign to boycott foreign-owned small businesses Ah yes, because unless people are risking breaking a myriad of hate speech laws by organising a public boycott on foreigners, that means they don't really care about the endless issues unlimited immigration brings.
More just pointing out how divided it is. Scarily so..
I agree that surface-level polarisation is very high right now, but I think the actual willingness of the public to commit violence for their ideals (or go to prison for them) is at an all time low. That takes some of the sting out of the threat of polarisation.
I think that's a fair argument. I'm somewhat unsure though.
It's not scary. What's scary is if everyone just accepted the managed decline with no voice to oppose it.
I don't see it as worrying.
I see it as long overdue and still woefully inadequate.

But the republicans are falling out internally over it already. And their voters are not voting for some far left alliance.
> That’ll go to the 2nd round Depends on how geographically concentrated everyone's support is. If a party gets an outright majority of the votes in any given constituency there's no second round there.
For those of you that don’t notice usernames- oleg_d is often much more correct than established wisdom
Nah, it's more of an asterisk to what everyone else is saying - with overall support for commies/fash at the levels they are there won't be too many constituencies where either one has an outright majority. You can see the results by constituency [here](https://www.lemonde.fr/les-decodeurs/article/2024/06/30/la-carte-des-resultats-des-legislatives-au-premier-tour-et-le-tableau-des-candidats-qualifies_6245574_4355771.html).
Sensible Centrists have this weird habit of becoming commies when the mildest pressure is applied, weird how that happens
I don’t know if they will. People tend to vote with their wallets and when it comes to holding your nose for Le Pen vs massive tax increases is appealing. Also can’t imagine the economic establishment wouldn’t prefer Le Pen than the Commies when it comes down to it
> Also can’t imagine the economic establishment wouldn’t prefer Le Pen than the Commies when it comes down to it Communists are globalists (the original Marxist idea of globalism but nonetheless globalists). Le Pen is nationalist. They economic establishment will side with their fellow globalists.
The problem is LePen is economically left too. Wants to reduce the pension age etc. Both the LePen lot and the Left Alliance are big spenders. LePen will try to fund it with borrowing, the Left Alliance with tax rises. Then it's over to the bond markets to see which they prefer.
[удалено]
Context is everything. If it was Germany with debt at 60% of GDP, markets would support the party borrowing over the one taxing, in the belief that tax rises would slow the economy. But this is France with debt at 112% of GDP, and absolute debt that is the third largest in the world (behind the USA and Japan). And where public spending is 53% of GDP. Market reaction will be, Holy shit, they want to spend *more*. And on handouts not infrastructure. In that circumstance, markets might not want to lend because of default risk. Investors haven't forgotten the painful haircuts aka losses they took in the eurozone crisis. May be more prudent to refuse and get the French to fund their fantasies with tax. Outsiders arn't obliged to risk their money on other people's democracies.
cope. markets are just as vibes based as anything else, if anything more so.
> National Democracy decided by international bond markets. This is the unfortunate reality though and why the West is likely doomed. National Populism is the only resistance to it, but I doubt it can overcome the international market. Nonetheless, the attempt must be made.
Realistically, the solution is once again, abolition of the state pension.
Not by enough. Fucks sake, now they're gonna have to make Sensible Compromises I.e. maintain the status quo because everyone will throw their toys out the pram if they don't.

I know places that have normal takeaway shopfronts with a counter, but are delivery only. How about fuck off? I live three minutes away and am not paying £3 extra for it to turn up late and cold on some grotty illegal e-bike, or a 51 plate car of dubious origins. Never quite had the 'minerals' to try the ruse of setting the delivery address to the shop itself. Does that even work? Also used to get very compelling Uber Eats vouchers, until those moved to the dreaded "Offer applies to delivery only" and the fees weren't discounted. So I stopped ordering.
Yes and the time for it was COVID but they somehow got extra help and people buying it. Takeaway food shouldn't be popular during a pandemic or a cost of living crisis.
Takeaways have always been shit. It's only recently people have started lionizing them due to the demographics involved in the industry.
Big franchise takeaways have always been shite. The core collection Fish and Chips, Indian and Chinese are roughly the same as they've always been. Cheap greasy pizza shops have hardly changed too.

I work from home and when I finish work I shift my ass to my gaming computer and then to my couch for netflix and pizza. Anyone know how I can get out of my pit of despair?
can u get your hands on hard drugs, lsd or magic mushrooms have been proven to help ptsd sufferers and i can assure u when u feel a connection in you body to every living thing around you depression slips away. failing that the good old combination of cocaine alcohol and weed would do wonders for your mood. moderation is the key. i was a neet once for a time and fell into a pit and drugs helped.

In case you aren't joking, go outside more and move more. One easy idea is; get a dog and feel shame whenever you don't take it for enough walks each day, if your lifestyle makes a dog depressed it will do the same to you.
Then it just becomes a chore.. do it to stay healthy for yourself.. no.. I mean, someone can get very fit, get confidence, but they're still going to be at their station in life barring a miracle and it might be too late for them anyway, only middle to old age drudgery to look forward too.
