The topic of perpetuating negative stereotypes disgusts me far more than the casual genocide-advocating, which I didn't take seriously anyway. Not that I'm going to make a big ruckus about either for the record

Yeah, how dare he imply that just because a majority of people voted to keep it, that's outrageous. You might as well say that Brits voted to leave the EU!

A majority of people did not vote to keep it. There has been no such thing as a referendum for bullfights, but polls consistentl1y show disapproval by 3/4 of the population. I'm having a hard time keeping ci il, you know. Quit spreading misinformation. The bullshit you're spreading has real c9nsequences for real people.

Oh yeah and some amendment to keep the UK in the single market failed, which resulted in another split within the labour party as Corbyn was forced to remove Chuka's faction from the shadow cabinet. 3 weeks of unity in the labour party, gone again. But who cares about that when 1,500 rare Welsh honeybees just got exterminated by a local council who thought they were common wasps

I bet it was a council full of English south Wales people, at that.

CymRAAAAAEEEEEEGGGG

The peopleshit you're spreading has real consequences for real bulls.

FTFY.

yeah I was just arguing in good faith that he was correct

if he was just bullshitting? (no pun intended)

then he's a diiiiiick

[Dorsidwarf]

If that's not correct then I apologise for taking information claimed in this thread as written/misunderstanding what was said.


But thanks for the personal attack, Chief Of Rudeness Descan

It really tells you how stupidly overcentralized the UK is that the districts needs the approval of the central government to inspect the buildings they own.

Well, I agree with your statement in spirit but just to clarify, local councils do not need the approval of Westminster to inspect their own buildings. Theresa May's telling them they shouldn't wait for the Westminster inquiry to reach their boroughs and counties before the local councils conduct their own investigations, rather they should conduct them immediately. They have the authority (more than that, they have the responsibility) to investigate their own area's problems. Also a minor semantic note, the UK does not organize local governance in districts, but rather in country, county and borough levels.
Also my borough learned lessons in a similar block fire in 2009 in their own inquiries, resulting in councilors arrested for negligence. A single stairway, flammable cladding, people told to remain indoors despite the building being compromised - these are the same things that condemned Lakanal and Grenfell, where it seems that the lack of a Westminster led inquiry into Lakanal meant no lessons were learnt from it. It's been rather grim in London, standing in silence teaching a school that was two pupils short from Grenfell, standing on London bridge where they'd installed anti-car barriers on the pavement remembering when I'd recommended my family go to borough market, one is made sombre by such times. Terrorism, fires and chaos, we are back in neo-1666

I bet it was a council full of English south Wales people, at that.

CymRAAAAAEEEEEEGGGG

Not likely considering you can't get more druidic (or north walesy) than Anglesey. Anglos weren't retarded this time
Also definitive proof the councilors are plaid cymru
y welsh nationalists exterminate welsh bee tho

Well, no fuckin wonder, they bread them out of Spanish fighting bulls! The Spanish have been trying to make the most violent killer bulls for how many centuries now? Those things probably leave the womb with a hateboner for humans, just like the crazy, suicidal Spaniards want them.

Yeah but they were crossbred with these fuzzy gentle giants

Yeah, I thought maybe it'd result in the biggest round of reforms and change since the Great Fire of London of 1666. At least that's probably what the extent of the screwups feel like.

Someone screwed up big time, that's why welsh nationalists exterminated a welsh bee.

it's only a personal attack if you were intentionally bullshitting (my apologies for not including the word intentionally, I thought that was obvious but I can admit it probably wasn't)

and if you WERE intentionally bullshitting, then I wouldn't care about personally attacking you

but since you weren't, then you aren't a dick, and I'm not attacking you. :v

Estonia selling free EU access to britbongs for €100
ayy lmao

[Starver]

Selling...  free...? Interesting choice of words.  Also old news.

(Liitu meiega vend. Eesti on tõotatud maa!)

[Loud Whispers]

Selling free money (costs money)

There's no Europe/Brexit thread that I'm currently subbed to that is currently active, so quick question here...

Anybody have a matrix of intra-EU 'exports', by value, for any reasonably recent year? I found this, but it's only a limited clue as to proportion-of-total, and unidirectional (i.e. no easy way to derive intra-EU imports, thus the net balance).

(Such source info might even be linked to from that page, but I've failed to do anything but go round in circles.)

[Sheb]

So you want the value of intra-EU trade for each country?

[Loud Whispers]

intra-EU trade in goods
Looks fairly comprehensive, dealing with the years 2009-2015. Don't know where to find the stats on services though
Germany exports looooooooooooads within the EU, that's about the only thing I noticed at a 10sec glance
