Brit/pol/ - Henry Purcell Edition

Henry Purcell, (born c. 1659, London, Eng.—died Nov. 21, 1695, London) English composer of the middle Baroque period most remembered for his more than 100 songs, the miniature opera Dido and Aeneas, and his incidental music to a version of Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream, called The Fairy Queen. Purcell, the most important English composer of his time, composed music covering a wide field: the church, the stage, the court, and private entertainment. In all these branches of composition he showed an obvious admiration for the past combined with a willingness to learn from the present, particularly from his contemporaries in Italy. With alertness of mind went an individual inventiveness that marked him as the most original English composer of his time as well as one of the most original in Europe.

absolutely bourgeois

Ayrshire here, waiting for the SNP to be crashed with no survivors

too early m8, come back at 3am for NEET and virgin hours

Because many of the ideologies there support monarchism e.g. High Toryism.

David Cameron, former leader of the Conservative Party, named Disraeli as his favourite Conservative and some commentators and MPs have suggested that Cameron's ideology contains an element of one-nationism.

I labelled them differently.

Same. I was all for SNP at first, but I see now that they're way too cucked in terms of being pro-EU and pro-rapefugee
(pic unrelated)

I imagine Disraeli is favourite for many as he is regarded as one of the best.

are there people who support labour in this board?

>Libertarianism

Yeah I used to support them as well but they've cucked themselves in places I didn't even know could be cucked

Probably.

Why break up the union, fucking why?

fucking kek

If you guys had a referendum on the right to bear arms, what would you choose?

Thursday evenings seem so dead with no Question Time and This Week.

Wonder what Are Neil is doing at his French villa with his fitty waifu, Molly the dog and lots of Blue Nun.

Because the English treat us like shit and taunt us with our pathetic devolved "parliament" that has no actual control and we'd be better off alone
Absolutely yes, target shooting is fun as fuck

In 2014 oil prices were great and it seemed viable, also the SNP weren't total cucks and came across like they could actually govern decently under Salmond.

Now oil is fucked, the Scottish economy is shit and the SNPs solution is to spend more money.

Times have changed, also I was nowhere near red pilled back then

I wouldn't trust a single word that comes out of Jeremy Corbyn's mouth.

Have you see the state the Labour Party's been in since his leadership?

Their disgusting, vile anti Semitism and anti Israel attitudes rival those of Adolf Hitler's party in 1930s Germany.

A vote for Labour is a vote for the Nazi Party.

>muh dunblane
Scotland would vote overwhelmingly against guns.

So you want to break up the greatest nation of all time because you can't handle the English bants?

t.welshman

...

I'm afraid that I would not want the British public to have guns.

Our instances of gun-related crimes are significantly lower than America's.
So much so that you're more likely to die in a stabbing than a shooting.

The argument that you need guns to subdue another gun-wielding assailant, therefore, is not applicable to Britain as it is for America.

>Their disgusting, vile anti Semitism and anti Israel attitudes rival those of Adolf Hitler's party in 1930s Germany.
Those are surely bad things directed against totally non-foreign Europeam demographic

UKIP?

...

Yeah they have to have a license for a fucking air rifle.

Cucked beyond belief.

I'm missing the comfy Thursday evenings laying on the sofa and watching This Week.

Hate to admit it but am also missing the political happenings. Hurry the fuck up September.

It was never viable in the first place and the SNP has always been cucked. I don't know why you would want to break up the union in the first place.

...

I like England's bants, I fell for the "oil is stable" meme. Scotland basically got screwed by OPEC

>gun crime has lowered
It hasn't.

Every working class household used to own a shotgun or rifle and we didn't have mass shootings. The difference is we were a homogeneous, Christian society.

I'd be all for staying if they stopped fucking us at every opportunity just because they can and know there's nothing we can do

Yeah hopefully the Happenings will return ready for a cosy late summer early autumn comfy Thursday evenings.

"Spongebob!"

What is this doublethink, Brit/pol/?

How do we fuck you? England doesn't get a parliament, all we get is shit from the rest of you.

GOOD MORNING

Why has brit/pol/ become UKIP shills general? Every single thread you wankers pretend brexit is doing great. Meanwhile in the real world:
>job offers down
>GDP down
>pound at a new low today

ft.com/cms/s/0/9d167fca-5e11-11e6-a72a-bd4bf1198c63.html

So, if the Scots have another referendum. What are they going to put on the ballots?
Should Scotland be an independent country, as part of the European union.
Should Scotland be a independent country, not part of the European union.
Should Scotland be part of the UK.
How the fuck do you word this. Without splitting the Scot independence vote.

May got rid of Cameron`s shitty allies as soon as she got in power, she was also smart enough to not actually actively support the side she was on during Brexit.
She wants to make Britain great again.

God fucking bless you user

Saw him live back in 2006. Back when his routine wasn't all shouting and screaming and he was pretty good. He's punchable now

So far she has been pretty good.

Owen smith pls go

>upper class so likely from a norman family
>has a french surname
>still thinking he's english
You're dumb.

$1.30 isn't a new low

...

Should Scotland be a dependant country in Europe
Should Scotland be a dependant country in the UK

Basically those are the only choices SNP are willing to put forward.

Cheers, m8.

Pretty sure Big Nicky plans to rejoin the bastard EU after independence, so the ballot would just be
independence: yes/no
then a few years later another vote
EU: yes/no
Please for the love of god I hope the snp uncuck themselves

Admit it, the English just have the whole gay face thing going on.

The privilege bullshit is exactly meant to distract from stories like the one you told.
The middle class students love it because it hides the real privilege which is the one they benefit from. Even if they are white, at least it hides the real reason why they are privileged, and they trump you by chatting this shit and having diverse friends because obviously being opinionated and shallow gestures matter more than physical and financial reality.
Tell him he hates the working class and the real reason for his anger is he doesn't think Uni is a place for people like you.

COME ON BIKE LADS

WHO /WIGGINS/ HERE?

>you will never live the degenerate rakish lifestyle in Restoration-era London

You're doing good lad.

Good on you, man! I've had a similar life. Just bullied and made to feel dumb by my classmates all throughout my school life.

The middle class are scum mostly. Almost on a par with the underclass.

>tfw back to blighty and work tomorrow

It's trading at €1.16, faggot, and headed to 1.1

poundsterlinglive.com/eur/5297-bond-yields-and-eur-to-gbp

Anyone who isn't shorting the pound right now is seriously retarded.

The upper-upper class are actually decent. E.g Moggs

They actually look after us plebs, it's the middle class that are the filth of this country

Guns don't just help you subdue other gun threats, but most threats.

Instead of relying on the police to protect you, your fate is in your own hands. No need to get up close either. Attacking with a blunt object makes strength a factor putting weaker people at a significant disadvantage (Elderly, crippled, women.).

The biggest reason is to be armed equally to your government in case the need for a revolution occurs. Governments should fear the people.

>Rampant drugs, alcohol and sexual prose

You're an inspiration lad. Don't let cunts those spoonfed cunts put you down.

Your only example so far is a Frenchman.

The English are descended from Germanic tribes in what's now Denmark and the Netherlands.

I hate him so much

>tfw complete failure at life despite a modest working class start

Lets wait for the actual figures.

>job offers down

> The UK unemployment rate has fallen to 4.9%, the lowest since July 2005, according to official figures.

>pound at a new low today
1.30? A new low this week?

Honestly economically it's going a lot better than I expected at this point. They were really full of shit.

>They actually look after us plebs

It's strange really. The landed gentry usually seem to take a long view of things and tend to want the best for the country. It's mostly out of the need to protect their own wealth but that's human nature and its why our class system works.

Isn`t Moggy`s family a part of the nobility?
His father is a Lord.

I want to fuck Miki, lads.
