    I think people are pretty fed up with being called bigots and racists merely for saying that immigration to their countries should be cut and other "traditionally" non-racist ideas as well as voting for something seen as "right wing" - a lot of which are not even close to the "Nazi" ideals the media portrays.

     

    In the UK it is considered racist to say that you want to cut immigration because the NHS is failing to cope, non UK taxpayers should have to more for education and healthcare , immigrants shouldn't get benefits until they've worked and paid taxes for 5 years, immigrants shouldn't be allowed to claim benefits for children abroad, people who cant speak the language shouldn't be allowed to work in the UK and that religious schools shouldn't exist.

    It's getting ridiculous

     

    This is one of the reasons Trump got elected, the other being that the democrats fixed it so that their only candidate who stood a chance against Trump had no chance whatsoever.

     

    I'm glad it's Trump and not Clinton, it wasn't so much a vote for Trump as a vote for discontent with the establishment.

    Immigration has fuck all to do with the failing NHS, the Tories are running it into the ground so they can sell it off. Can you give me a real life example of yourself being affected negatively by an immigrant using the NHS, having access to free schooling, claiming benefits or working in a job and not speaking English? Anything that caused a problem to you as a direct result.

    It is pretty easy to blame immigrants or other people without a voice, when it is the corporate elite acting in their own interests destroying this countries services.

    Clinton wasn't the only candidate with a chance, Bernie Sanders would have beaten Trump.

  3. I think is really going to have an adverse knock on effect in mainstream western politics. With the large number of career politicians that will go with whatever way the wind is blowing, I think that the success of Trump (and UKIP) will see shifts towards the nastier side of right wing politics. I think this is being evidenced by the current attitudes of the Tories. God help us all.

    I'm eligible for Irish (Polish) citizenship and an Irish (Polish) passport through having lived here for 5 years (also my wife is half Irish (Polish)) so I can go down that route if I have to and if I lose the right to work in Europe.  It does cost 900 quid tho so I'm going to wait until everything's settled and if Indyref 2 happens before seeing if I have to apply. 

    £900 seems very expensive! Anyone know what the UK equivalent is?

    I find it impossible to make this argument with most Celtic fans, which is completely absurd, because the gulf in resources as absolutely the reason they're able to achieve such success. In 2013/14 (the latest figures I could find), Celtic's wage budget was £901k, and Aberdeen's £141K: a difference of 639%. 639%! Aberdeen shouldn't even be in the same conversation, competitively speaking.

    The most common counter argument to this is "aye, you jealous?" or "yeah but we sign good players." What does that even mean?!

    I'm not at all upset about their superior resources but I find the lack of acknowledgement very frustrating. 

    I am not sure what Aberdeen fans are expecting from Celtic, a wage budget 639% higher than Aberdeen's doesn't mean that players, staff, performances should be 639% better. The is not a linear correlation between the two, else you could look at the English premiership and the team that spends the most on players will win most of the competitions. What it will mean is that for the foreseeable future Celtic will win the majority of domestic competitions.

    It is pretty easy to acknowledge that Celtic have huge resources and that is because the club has reportedly over 9 million supporters worldwide, a crazy figure.

  6. Laika Come Home and Happiness Is Time Spent With Good Friends present:

    DEPECHE CHOAD/BIRD LAW: "GREETINGS FROM ASHLEY PARK, ABZ" EP LAUNCH SHOW:

    DEPECHE CHOAD:
    Spearfish, South Dakota's very own pioneers of girth-rock. Choad Kroeger, Nob Geldof, Tommy Gunnar and Dream Magic assault audiences with "trivial" and "somewhat punk" music in their continuing quest to repel listeners and induce painful allergic reactions. They're actually really good, though.

    FFO: Butthole Surfers, Ween, Skelton's wack raps and cat hatred

    https://depeche-choad.bandcamp.com/
    https://www.facebook.com/D3P3CH3CH04D/

    BIRD LAW:
    Not governed by reason since 2016; Free, House, Jackie and Emic play often political, always melodic, fast and fuzzy powerpop jams.

    FFO: Superchunk, Lemonheads, dumb riffs, shoehorning sitcom references into absolutely everything

    We are totally delighted to be joined by very special guests:

    SLOWLIGHT:
    Mighty fine angular post hardcore from Glasgow. Slowlight draw influences from late 90's early 00's emo and hardcore and create something more unique, using a smart combination of vocals to create melodic and memorable punk songs that are equal parts intricate and anthemic. Debut album was recorded at Glassworks back in July, and should be due out soon (Yes? I hope so!)

    FFO: Tiger's Jaw, Burning Airlines,Hoover

    BENJAMIN BLUE:
    The last time I recall there being such a massively winning combination of North and South was when those guys from popular 90's CBBC series, No Sweat, released "I'm a Man, Not a Boy". With members from both Aberdeen and Glasgow, Benjamin Blue create staggeringly good jangly math-rock with a hell of a lot of heart and guts. Currently on tour with Crywank, and with new EP just released on Struggletown Records, Benjamin Blue are definitely ones to watch.

    FFO: Autoclave, Maps & Atlases, Todd Flanders
