“[Thatcher] destroyed the fishing industry, steel industry, the coal industry, you name it, it all went downhill from there,” said Kelly Brown, a welfare recipient in Grimsby, a port town that elected a Tory MP for the first time since 1945. “But now, I’m hoping Conservatives look back on their mistakes, and I’m hoping they’re going to bring some things back.”

There was a very interesting article in the Dutch newspapers about Economy in the US. Here's the Google translation:
Quote:
Towards the end of the article they say "Treatments cost just five to ten times more than in the Netherlands." This is actually untrue, even the basic health care is far more expensive in the US compared to over here, such as simple dental surgery meaning braces for kids. Oh wait yeah it's Sunday morning. like 250 is ten times less than 2500 doh.

I still legit wonder why it's possible to charge so much. I then wonder why we keep going "we just need to raise more money to cover all this" when if we were to reduce the amount able to be charged, things like insurance could cover more for more people without having to raise even more.
Stop trying to solve issues by simply throwing more money towards it, solve issues by making it not cost so much in the first place. Also preventive care could debatably cost less than reactive care. Getting tests done for heart conditions chances etc, instead of waiting till after the heart attack occurs, among other possible examples.

It would take forever to explain poliics in NI. Bottom line because tof irreconcilable differences in the region, it's reverted back to a power-sharing model where opposing parties (most notably Sinn Fein and the DUP) agree to share key government positions. The details are far more complex but that's pretty much it.

I might be wrong but I don't think there's any issue with timing, t's just taken until now for the parties involved to strike a deal. Believe it or not, a major sticking point has been whether the Irish language should have equal status in NI with English.

the first spanish grammar (nebrija’s) was dedicated to queen isabella (yes, in 1492 also) with a prologue that mentioned “language has always been companion to empire.” this is right when “castilian” started to become simply “spanish”. e.g. see: https://dle.rae.es/ or https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Langua...rancoist_Spain language is political! and what constitutes a language or a dialect is more political than linguistic. today see: catalonia. last century: basque country. but hey, galicians speak basically portuguese and i don’t think they want to split from spain. |

Yes of course, language is was and always will be political, even when it isn't weaponised the way that it clearly is in places like Spain, or Northern Ireland.

Can we stop hearing demonrail666's opinions about Brexit until it really happens?

Hard-line Brexiteers and the major rags are currently wetting themselves with fury that Big Ben should ring at midnight on the 31st to signal Brexit. Decided the only name suitable for these people are bong mongs
