Why is the Irish Republic so dead set on getting a piece of land that doesn't even want them, that they are willing to make up bullshit like that?
Why is this prick so suddenly concerned with the democratic will of the people in relation to the Brexit referendum yet completely disregarding the fact N.I wishes to stay?

Self employed lad, this time of year is always dead for work. Phoenix ended years ago m8y, first and last festival I went to and not a cell phone in sight.
Good to see you finally got your trip working again after your ban though

YJ20 DINT GO TO FREE PARTIES IN THE 90'S?
The 90's was legit desu. 90's was the most fun decade of all time. 90s 00's had all the tech you needed, but also it wasnt so captivating that you preferred it over real friends.

What I find fascinating is that the last symbols of Britain as seen by the world came from the 60s.
I mean the American vision of the UK is essentially riding a AEC Routemaster through (white) London on a street full of black-cabs and minis to buy a Beatles record in a small shop beside a red phonebox while Harold Wilson drinks tea across the street. Also "The Who" make a token appearance somewhere too.
Maybe, just maybe if they're a 12 year old girl they'll also throw in JK Rowling pointing at Mr. Wilson and screeching FAAAAASCIST.

The military/economic part was about the United States of Europe. What we do doesn't really matter.
The independence and isolation are less likely, but one can always pray for a bout of Mr. MacMillan's EVENTS.
>What I find fascinating is that the last symbols of Britain as seen by the world came from the 60s. Attempts are made to keep the world in a sort of perpetual 60s and to imply it's when civilisation started
It's like 1984 in a way, before the Glorious Sexy Revolution everything was poverty-stricken and crap and we all wore top hats, then suddenly the world burst into colour

It's not just that, though. The US embrace other decades (especially the 80s) much more wholeheartedly. We take bits and pieces here and there too, but our image hasn't moved a day past 1968. What a pity the country has.
Chronologically I might assign it to the death of empire and the failure to take up a new cause.
Also as perhaps a sign of desperation, we still hark back to WW2. Keep calm and carry on [bathes in tea]

I really hate that union jack with the fucking flash gordon symbol in the middle.
Adrian Lopez
What would make you content about British politics?
I agree, getting rid of manufacturing and manual jobs in favour of outsourcing and automation is all well and goo as long as you replace the jobs. Hopefully Trump does it in the states and we follow his lead
Thomas Adams
Leaving the European Union and actually having a plan beyond "G L O B A L" that's based on restoring sovereignty rather than the usual Thatcherite arguments of freeing ourselves from EU regulations so that we can import cereal with nails in it from Uzbekistan, the rest is gravy
Brayden Martin
Ah no, I must correct. The country must not have moved past 1969.
Tony Benn strikes again. (Now there's a headline for you), Concorde first flew in 1969. I've always admired the irony that one of the most left-wing men in the Labour party championed a machine for the wealthy. And I do mean admired, I'm not being snarky - because it all fits together. It's the white heat of technology in a glorious 153°C white bird.
I think high-technology (which we do sort of still do, but never in quite such an imagination grabbing way.) is one of the great unmourned things of this country. It was an interesting attempt to find a role.

>But its a shame going to live events of any type people cant just enjoy the moment and use their eyes and brain to remember it.
It's true, some people pay for live events only to miss it because they're to busy watching it through their smartphones tiny screen.
On one hand i'm glad they're there because we get to see juicy footage of X event; but like you said Yin Yang, what they offer with one hand they take with the other.
>Then Thatcher happened. Use to defend her just to piss off lefties, then realised they were right for the wrong reasons

LARP city but I'm in an accommodating mood Leaving the European Union Increasing the voting age drastically Restoring selective education Starting the war on drugs Making divorce gradually more difficult Nationalise the railways Restoring the sanctity of jury trial as best they can by raising the minimum age to be chosen as well as bringing back absolute majorities for serious punishments Restore the death penalty for murder (And so scrap the Human Rights Act, at least I'm pretty sure) Make the police a patrolling deterrent instead of a cleanup crew End devolution Hang Rimmer

It's the skin temperature on the nose at the maximum speed. (I looked it up.) Which is 307°F In normal flight it was 127°C (260°F) at the nose and 90°C (194°F) at the tail.
Very hot. It sort of ties into how the Prime Minister of the day had talked about the "White heat of technological revolution".

Doesn't she know that she can just go to Syria to meet a terrorist? Much easier, and probably safer too.
