Well, maybe the learning isn't devo; maybe it's more evo? ... similar to the disruption of the "keep a steady job 
then retire" motif my parents understood, that is total bvllsh!t now.  Or perhaps the "work hard, buy a 
house" motif?  Or "go to school so you can get a job"?  Or even "read, read, read, read -- never 
mind that video will make reading obsolete by the time you die"?

Your dog won't learn any lessons.  But those dogs who aren't fixed might have 
puppies who will begin learning the lesson.

Ah, thanks.  After your e-mail, I found this:

  http://www.politico.eu/article/david-cameron-we-wont-trigger-article-50-now/

“We need to determine what kind of relationship we want with the EU, and that 
is rightly something for the next prime minister and their cabinet to decide,” 
said Cameron. “This is our sovereign decision and it will be for Britain, and 
Britain alone, to decide.”

I have to admit that I'm interested in the rhetoric that says: We should elect 
Trump as President because we need to get it out of our system.  It's akin to 
postmodernism.  We _need_ to manually walk as far towards the absurd as we can 
in order to teach ourselves (or some of us) what "absurd" means, tacitly.  It's 
not enough to be warned by those with the ability to run it forward in their 
heads.  Even those brainiacs are susceptible to confirmation bias.  So we 
_need_ to do the work, actually go out into the void as far as possible so we 
can experience it, memorize it, know what it means ... to, say, have a reality 
TV personality run the country.

Perhaps Cameron has an anarchist homunculus?  Just burn it down!  Free your 
mind and ... Burn. It. Down.

So, he has to file for article 50 because he said he'd file.  A politician

Obviously, there's something deeper at work.

2016-06-27 Thread glen ☢

What I don't quite understand is, if referenda are "consultative" and 
non-binding, why all the hoopla?  Why can't they simply factor the results into 
a more rational process?  This is especially curious if Cameron plans to/will 
resign anyway.  And also curious given the Bregret.  Did the pre-referendum 
legislation dictate that the government must robotically obey the results?  We 
have all sorts of ways our US government can bypass, ignore, or delay the 
unencumbered "will of the people."

Re: [FRIAM] Anyone from England

2016-06-27 Thread Frank Wimberly
>From Tom Wilkinson on Facebook.  I assume he's English:

There are a few camps here.
The first is those that voted "Leave" as a protest against the current
government. They thought there was no way that Leave would win (evident
they didn't read the same opinion polls I did), and immediately regretted
their actions.

Second are the people who voted on the basis of personality. A major
campaigner on the Leave side, Nigel Farage, projects himself as a man of
the people (he's rarely seen in publicity photos without a pint of beer in
one hand and a cigarette in the other). They didn't really grasp what it
was they were voting for and now they've seen the numbers and seen how the
rest of the world has reacted, have come to their senses. Boris Johnson,
the other major Leave personality is well known too for being a bit of a
breath of fresh air (He's the former Mayor of London, and could be
described as "Colourful" - again, a different kind of politician)

The third group (and the only one I have any sympathy with) are the people
who genuinely thought Leave was the right thing to do after weighing up the
options, and who have now seen a huge upsurge in racist incidents/ violence
from the extreme racist right wing who took the leave vote as an
endorsement of their extreme views.

Most of the "Brexit" voters voted against the EU because they are against 
immigrants and want to make Britain great again, much like Trump in US. 
Unfortunately it will not happen, the British Pound will drop, customs will 
raise and the UK will slide into a recession. EU funding for universities in 
the UK will stop. It looks pretty bad for Great Britain, as you can see in the 
reaction of the stock markets. 

 

TL;DR Cameron messed it up and everyone in Europe is a bit shocked about the

Our colleagues, Matt and Janire just skyped me up yesterday and were 
quite concerned about the implications for them...


Matt is from the UK, Janire from Spain, and they both attended 
University in Wales and have been doing good business throughout 
UK/EU/etc without any friction, thanks to the UK participation in the 
EU.   They are now very concerned that they will be significantly 
constrained by the new situation.


They are also very unhappy with the general right-wing knee-jerk in 
progress (from their perspective) that htey feel rivals our own "Trumped

Boy, Howdy, did Cameron Mess up!

 

So, he now loses his premiership to the right wing of his own party.  Scotland, 
and perhaps N. Ireland, will now opt out of the UK in a few years, leaving 
England a teensy libertarian paradise under Boris Johnson.  

 

Gill, here is how I think the parliamentary system works.  Cameron resigns.  
That precipitates an election for party leader amongst the conservatives.  If 
that goes smoothly, there is no election.  If that is bloody, and some faction 
of the Conservatives is willing to join Labor in a vote of no confidence, THAT 
will precipitate an election.  

 

Parliament is sovereign in the UK.  So, a new parliament could do anything it 
wanted, including, presumably, not leave the EU.  

 

I think that’s how it is.  I would love to be corrected.

Most of the "Brexit" voters voted against the EU because they are against 
immigrants and want to make Britain great again, much like Trump in US. 
Unfortunately it will not happen, the British Pound will drop, customs will 
raise and the UK will slide into a recession. EU funding for universities in 
the UK will stop. It looks pretty bad for Great Britain, as you can see in the 
reaction of the stock markets. 

 

TL;DR Cameron messed it up and everyone in Europe is a bit shocked about the 
result of the referendum.

Jochen

Care to speculate what's going on with this leave the EU thing?

 

I can guess but I might be wrong, I suppose I thought while the EU comes across 
as a discuntional family. I didn't know drama between England and the rest of 
Europe was so bad that they'd want to leave.

 

places like telegraph aren't exactly helping matters:

 

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2016/06/24/eu-referendum-live-david-cameron-resigns-as-uk-shocks-the-world/

 

So anyone from England  have some opinions about what's going on?

Also as it is reported in America it's a close call of  48 to 50% unless I 
totally misunderstand parimentarian best practices I thought that's when they 
called for another vote or a simple majority?

Or am I wrong?

More importantly can I still move there if a certain delusional Sith think's he 
can do some good?not a sith lord, just a sith, he's got all the makings of a 
sith, just not a good one. 

:P

 

How's the beer and weather?

Where's a good place to live?

 

Anyway I hope all everyone has a day full of glory!

MUCH MERRIMENT AND REVELRY!

From what I heard David Cameron messed it up. He failed miserably. In order to 
get elected and to get rid of his right wing critics he promised the people 
this referendum where they can vote for or against the EU. If people had voted 
to remain in the EU it would have been a victory for him. It wasn't. He lost.
