UK Politics Thread XII: The Lockdown

[Evil Dictators Happyland]

GVH is a walking satire of conservatives - and a particularly exaggerated satire at that - except when he says that he wants to kill poor people, subvert democracy, and destroy both the economy and the environment so that the rich can gain absolute, unquestioned control over the resulting ruined mess, he's being 100% serious.

Yeah I thought I could smell cow shit.

Dude, it's the same map with the colouring changed. Still amusing though.

Yeah I know, was just amused that there wasn't even an attempt to photoshop some differences to make it more believable.

I don't know how you can say that with a straight face.

The stiff upper lip is infused with gold, holding it in place.

More likely to be botox, cosmetic surgery being how it is nowadays.

He wants to be a real life Dickens character.

And with only a few more hours to go, it is time to say goodbye.

It's been an interesting ride, so I will quote a late, famous British author to mark the occasion. I find his oeuvre fitting to what has happened in the last few years, and for what is about to come.

...

So long, and thanks for all the fish!

That's it. The Cod wars are back.

[Souseiseki]

very funny that will brexiters will be talking about moving on together as one nation while northern ireland returns a nationalist majority, loyalists complain they've been annexed to the EU and scotland shows a trend towards independence and desire for a referendum in the near future

It's weird because even though it's about to happen on paper the actual impact of it won't be felt until next year. It's going to be the king of hangovers.

Well, some of the actual impact happens immediately. For example, the UK will lose all representation in EU bodies tomorrow.

Oh yeah sure, I had in mind the average person in the UK noticing any difference.

Why does nobody ever raise the human rights implications of quarantine?

[Fartsniffage]

Why does nobody ever raise the human rights implications of quarantine?

Because it would be an idiotic argument?

[Chan Island]

Why does nobody ever raise the human rights implications of quarantine?

Because rich people could catch the corona virus, so better to hold them until we know 100% they don’t have the disease. Wouldn’t want the deadly illness ruining all that wealth accumulation.

'Humanity' and 'Society' can completely collapse for all I care. What do they matter lol

Please don't tell me he actually said that.

[Purgatio]

Because allowing more people to catch a contagious disease is generally agreed to be a bad thing?

But the government doesn't even provide compensation for the deprivation of liberty in most circumstances.

I'm a prison abolitionist who believes in the strongest protections against government intrusion possible. I know that most rich people like stability, and things that help guarantee it whatever the cost, but I'm definitely not one of them.

If you really want to you could just find some footage of it being raised and play it in reverse, so that you simulate the full vexillological experience of Brexit.

Not infecting other people with an illness generally isn't something that should be compensated.

You sure talk like Hobbes was wrong to propose a social contract in Leviathan. Also a great way to build up an angry mob to storm your precious flats.
