I drank because I wanted to drown my sorrows, but now the damned things have learned to swim.

Reminds me of the recent video of a lady woman person at a drive-through who was told the burger she wanted was out or something throwing a hissy fit and using the n-word. She was then told to leave at which point she cried and apologized and whined that she only wanted a burger so much.  :rolleyes:

I found this an interesting take on how things are developing in the UK:

https://www.theguardian.com/world/2020/jun/12/johnsons-culture-war-trap-seems-designed-for-corbyn-not-starmer

I've witnessed this a lot on my occasional forays into facebook looking at local groups, always a good place to keep track of what the troll farms are churning out. They're trying to turn this into a wedge issue where the left want to destroy all statues, are defacing war memorials (really fascinating what happened with the centopath, I hope CCTV was good enough to catch the responsible party) and hate St. Churchill.

Starmer with his moderate response of recognising the problems but condemning violence just isn't being drawn into it.

Got to say. Things were looking iffy for a bit there. Seemed the BLM people had jumped the shark and turned the public against them with the horrible idea of crowd sourcing a statue list.
The far right have really saved things though. Apparently today they were out in force expecting a ruck, but failing to find and BLM protestors started attacking random people in the park instead.

QuoteAlbuquerque, NM: pre-protest so not assigning a number, but a reminder of how insanely violent cops have been for years

[CW: death]

A call was made about a homeless guy at a bus stop. An entire police squad shows up and wastes him.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.

Holy shit.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

wtf. I'm surprised anyone still calls the police for anything, if these guys would then show up.
