I’m not sure the strategy of hiring someone who has personally injected every single drug into his veins at some point in his life to be health chief was ever going to work out.

At least they should give him all the diseases too so we can see if the drugs work!

There are genuine integration issues in the UK so the anti-migrant bloc do have some valid concerns. However, there will be a non-insignificant amount of racists among them.

Weirdly, the “skipping the queue” rhetoric even works with fellow migrants. I have a friend from Iran who I used to work with that moved to the UK ~3 years ago; he’s way angrier about irregular channel crossings than the average Scottish person I know. I’d imagine spending a lot of money and years on a waiting list before being given a work visa was a grating experience though.

Their mode of entry into the UK was illegal but any asylum claims they make will be assessed as being potentially valid. I think you were saying the same thing but not sure.

The reason people are particularly pissed off is that Farage and co. have framed the debate as an issue of fairness. Essentially the charge levelled at the irregular migrants is queue jumping, which we don’t look upon fondly in our culture.

My dad had to remove me from the cinema when we saw Toy Story on release because I found Sid’s vivsected toys too frightening

Behaving in an emotionally disregulated manner, similar to how a child who has not developed as a person would do

These people should be hung, drawn and quartered

I have many social media type things and IRC hooked up to emacs which is also my IDE

Practical effects in Carpenter’s remake of The Thing are hard to beat

Popular people didn’t see themselves as popular, they just had a lot of friends from their perspective. Social structures are only really visible from the bottom-up.

There’s a director’s cut like version of Alien 3 that fixes many of the issues (and unfortunately creates a few new ones)

It’s definitely underrated due to a Seinfeld Effect like phenomenon where everyone feels like they’ve seen it - even when they haven’t.

I prefer El Topo to Holy Mountain as it has more of a uh script. Looks like they had a lot of fun filming the latter though!

Both of them are worth taking the time to watch though. Nothing else quite like them.

Shaun of the Dead is so good! I can’t believe I missed it from my list. Pretty much anything by Edgar Wright is amazing, I even enjoyed Midnight In Soho, which was his weird Giallo horror tribute.

If you get a tattoo gun he can write a permanent apology on his skin

Pierce his other nipple

I think the circumstances around his death were ironic - humourous even - but I don’t take any joy in politically motivated violence. When you respond to rhetoric you disagree with by being violent then you’ve lost the argument.

Idk either tbf. Maybe being pessimistic is the smart move here.

I thought he was in his 70s? Maybe you know more about the Brazillian justice system tho.

Yeah my knowledge of strokes is quite limited. I only figured out there were different types, i.e. blood vessels in brain bursting vs blockage in heart stopping blood to brain. There are probably more.
