Commented on That sinking feeling
I remain somewhat hopeful, not least of which pretty much all my current pension savings are tied up in the UK. However, to respond to the idea that 'food will be fine because it's not changing', that's dangerously missing the...
Commented on The unspeakable truth
One of the things that's really shocked me about this is the number of people who are immigrants or the children of immigrants who've been complaining vocally on my Facebook wall about immigration... I suppose I had a rosy view...
Commented on The unspeakable truth
To be brutally honest, and I really am not a fan of the US system (and with the broad caveat that the provisions in the ACA on pre-existing conditions aren't removed - or live in a state like WA that...
Commented on The unspeakable truth
I have the accident of birth privilege of a father born in Limerick and I now have the copy of his Birth Certificate that can be sent off and not the highly fragile 1925 original. Moving to any other country...
Commented on The unspeakable truth
I've got nothing. I always assumed that I'd move back to the UK one of these days, but as I watch this stuff unfurl I don't recognize the country I grew up in or the values I was brought up...

Bill Arnold commented on That sinking feeling
I don't know who did this (mit url), but the "Active Summoning Curve" yellow warning triangle is nice. http://web.mit.edu/~ternus/Public/Public_old/laundry.pdf Demetria's list, oh my. Every (spell) item listed is personal and selfish. it made me wonder what would happen if spellcaster tried to fix Brexit. Now that at least is larger in desired scale of change, and potentially (depending on investments etc) less selfish....

Nice, though the curve reminds me of polytene chromosomes somewhat. Actually, I wonder if Dho-Nha curves are a special case of elliptic curves Or a L-system like the dragon curve https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dragon_curve or a space-time-filling curve https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Space-filling_curve...
Greg Tingey commented on That sinking feeling
ERC @ 879 Bollocks I know a stout member of my local Labour party, as well as a nodding acquaintance with my MP ( I know her mother better ) ... And it's "Momentum" ( Militant under another name ) who are trying to either split the party, or alternatively drive all the Social Democrats out. Momentum are acively trying to deselect an MP with a majority of over 20 000, because she is not ideologically pure ......
Pigeon commented on That sinking feeling
I think both are true... The internal dissension you cite is certainly real, although it seems to me that both sides are similarly culpable, if the displays of Labour MPs bitching at other Labour MPs in public that I've come across are any indication. MP 1: "You're damaging the Labour party..." MP 2: "No, you're damaging the Labour party..." (me: FFS YOU'RE BOTH DAMAGING THE LABOUR PARTY CARRYING ON LIKE THIS, JUST PACK IT IN ALREADY [twitches wing against side]) And the far right are trying to foment dissent against Corbyn with this antisemitism bollocks, partly because they want to...
