UK Politics Thread VII: Wake me DUP inside [can't wake UUP]

[Ifreann]

Well, maybe it's not so bad, maybe they meant that Meghan's bloodline is by Harry. He's one of them, you know, gingers.

She's British, isn't she? Seems less like diluting the bloodline than most of the historical marriages.

I thought she was American.

Peterson and Fry are orators. Peterson is a recent celebrity, but Fry has more years of experience in showmanship than you or I do of breathing put together.
They both have enormous fanbases, albeit for very different reasons.

Where was this debate held and what was the makeup of its audience?
Without that information, the "support rate" can't really be discussed, but anyway, "debates" are pointless. The Ken Ham/Bill Nye debate was pointless.
Debates assume that all participants are rational individuals looking to open their mind to - if not change - understanding of the alternative side.

You and I both know this is not the case.

I found a Youtube video of the debate (here) and it seems that the polls was literally just a live, anonymous internet poll open to anyone with a link.
So it doesn't tell us anything, since Peterson clearly has a fanbase who are willing to mobilise for him, given how they've come completely out of the woodwork since the Cathy Newman interview.

The debate starts around 10 minutes in, the vote link is put up maybe 8 minutes in.

True, but the polling aligns with polling showing 66% of british people have had enough of feminism.

I've paid literally zero attention. I didn't know she was mixed race, nor american. Hell, I'm assuming she's a woman. Is she a woman?

[The New California Republic]

The wedding is over, we can finally ditch the collective madness that we have embarked upon as a country.

The wedding means that Brexit is ditched, right?

Which could be entirely coincidental. I edited the post to expand on the issue of doorpolling on the debate, which is apparently what the numbers are actually taken from.

[Flex Tape Nation]

Yes. I don't care about Harry and Meghan, and I am sick of hearing about it on the news. The fact that Meghan's father may not be going to the wedding was headline news. Headline news.

Makes you wonder what they're trying to distract us from.

Illuminati confirmed

It means Americans are going to take over the monarchy and abolish magna carta.

Such is my understanding. She does televisual acting. Or she did? Maybe she's going to retire now that she's married into royalty.

Her last main role was in Suits, an american corporate law drama. She quit that soon after the engagement was announced. I imagine she'll be like Kate, doing random philanthropic work that royals do.

Sex doesn't ruin people. At worst, you would have fed into some guys insecurities, a problem for sure, but not one to be dealt with in the way you did imo.

Sure, I feel bad about letting her down- but it had to be done. It is against my personal code to race mix in that way. It still feels like quite a missed opportunity, but I'm certain that I absolutely did make the right decision for the long term for my and her well being. I don't make any decisions on impulse or give into any primal temptations. My inclination to exercise caution and restraint is too strong.

It makes sense she'd retire. She's going to need to save all her acting skills for maintaining a smile when Prince Philip is around.

A very challenging role.

She is a tank i believe.

Yank, not tank. That would be something else entirely if that was what he was marrying.

Well Harry was dressed as an officer in the Blues and Royals, so maybe he did think she was a tank?

Is it really "dressed as" when that's the regiment he actually did serve with?

We all know he really served with the Cock and Balls billiards team.

He has various military uniforms he can choose from.

I hope that means no more royal wedding jokes on HIGNFY, it wasn't funny in the first episode this series, and it certainly wasn't funny last night.

Actually, because the wedding was after the last episode, it's guaranteed to appear next week.

No, she's American. I think she might have Canadian citizenship as well.

Although strictly speaking, the Royal Family aren't British per se, since citizenship is given in the name of Her Majesty, rather than the Country like elsewhere, and thus neither she nor her kin need to be a citizen .. of themselves.

I suppose it's a gray area. I wonder if the Home Office remotely got involved in her arrival .. or her stay. But one rule for them different rules for the rest of us I assume. Wallis Simpson certainly did not have British citizenship.

[Vassenor]

He has various military uniforms he can choose from.

And he went with the one he earned the right to wear the conventional way.

Why do you want to argue over this? I was just making a crack about him wearing the uniform of an armoured regiment and so might have picked that uniform because he thought she was a tank and not a yank.

Why do you have to do this Vassenor? Why do you have to hover around sucking all the joy from threads?

Well he actually was in that regiment so I don't think it's wrong that he wear the uniform.

So apparently progressives have gone around inventing new slurs against demographics they don't like again and this time the leader of the english nationalist party is sueing one of them for hate speech.

The "Gammon" thing explicitly relies on race and sex as part of the criteria, but the progressive mentality often outright denies the possibility of racism and sexism against whites/males so they didn't have self-awareness about this.

I don't expect it to work, but it probably should if we were being consistent on it.

I saw this last night on HIGNFY and heard about it there, it's about middle-aged men who get angry, and red in the face about Brexit.

White was explicitly part of the criteria. It's also sexist even under your definition.
