You beauty! I missed the update.

List of Distributist parties in the UK:
Hmmm, maybe the Catholic part isn’t the only part worth reviewing.
Also worth noting that the Conservative Party’s ‘Big Society’ schtick in 2010 was wrapped in the trappings of distributism.
Not that all this diminishes it entirely but it does seem to be an entry drug for exploitation by the right.
I gotta hold my hand up and state that I am not read up on it at all, so happy to be corrected. But my impression is that Pope Leo XIII’s conception was to reduce secular power so as to leave a void for the church to fill. And it’s the potential exploitation of that void that attracts the far right too.
My genX ass was trying skibidi on its own cause most of the rest of the text is usually auto-suggested while typing in the search terms.
When I grew up near a town of 6000 people in northern Ireland in the 70’s there were four distinct accents. Partly because there were two different recent growth phases to the town that brought in new people (from other parts of northern Ireland). And also because TV + education caused a generational change too for the locals. The much older inhabitants had a more Elizabethan grammer and a mix of Irish/Scots Gaelic + old English nautical vocabulary.
Potty mouth.
Yeah that was part of the first red scare. McCarthyism was considered the second. All part of intrenching inequality by ensuring that the best paths to a healthier society are associated with authoritarianism.
And further on from that the number of real tankies I’ve actually seen on here is miniscule compared to the howling mass of McCarthyites that crawl out of the woodwork.
Wait a second. This is Sounds of the Boreal Forest! No wonder my bamboo is withering away.
Is that you Howard Moon?
Oooh, I did not know that!
Same. Gonna have to find some way of pirating the shows I ‘purchased’ on prime so that I can still go back to them.
In your own article…
“As president of Mind, Stephen Fry has done a huge amount to raise awareness and understanding about bipolar disorder and other mental health problems. He has supported Mind in our campaigning activities over the last decade and has helped enormously to change public attitudes in the UK about mental health for the better.”
Does that sound like sound like someone that needs to be ‘fucked’, or is it someone you can appreciate for their efforts relative to the society they grew up in but hasn’t quite followed the leading edge in understanding in their later years. This whole judging people by today’s standards can get a bit out of hand especially if you don’t know their context. They are people that pushed things in the right direction in their zenith, they aren’t perfect, no one is, but in their time, when they had a platform and used it more responsibly than most. Now they’re just a bit out of date.
You should be able to respect people’s background conditions (especially if you are purportedly standing up for a fairer understanding of various mental health conditions), you don’t have to agree with or respect everything they say now but you should respect them as humans beings especially given the positive pressure they exerted in their prime against way worse attitudes than we experience now.
Fry’s point isn’t terrible, it just lacks some qualifications. Cleese, on the otherhand, is a bit older and has much more dated notions. They shouldn’t be amped, but that’s what GB News is all about. Platforming regressive shite. GB news and all it’s founders should be ‘fucked’. They are darkly cynical cunts.
The pair of them’s blether should be judiciously ignored. Pat them on the back, put a blanket on their knees. But don’t fuck them.
Pray you can make a positive influence now as they did back in their prime.
What do you think have been the successful privatizations in the UK. To my mind none of the big ones. I guess the little ones that work we don’t hear too much about.

Nor that the information that they use against you be necessarily true given their accepted monopoly in ‘truth’.
