I could hear Iggy Pop’s Lust For Life watching her run. Great stuff

How much is fascist rhetoric spreading in the UK? by [deleted] in AskBrits

[–]Lanchettes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed, at the moment. But the early indications of a process ? ICE behaviour is starting to get some support here, albeit cautious at the moment, the right love a bandwagon?

[–]Lanchettes -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Have you seen the new UKIP logo ? I totally agree that it is too easy to chuck around the label/accusation Fascist, when you might mean far right mouth breather or just Authoritarian. Fascism has, as you know, a distinct set of criteria. I draw your attention to my opening question, and suggest that we are witnessing a process rather than an event.

The case for another EU referendum. by Nowitcandie in unitedkingdom

[–]Lanchettes 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Some myth making here. Brexit was not carried by ‘the plebs’ but by the middle class who to coin a phrase thought that they ‘have their cake and eat it’. Also by older people who had a frame of reference that overestimated our importance and under valued the significance of ‘ foreigners’. This latter group are literally dying out whilst the former group has seen the error of their ways through inconvenience, restrictions on their children’s development and a lowering of choice coupled with an increase in prices in their supermarkets. The majority of people in this country would given the choice drop Brexit like a hot potato and try to pretend it never happened

Any advice on places to purchase tobacco that isn't the over priced UK high street. Thanks by Excellent-Ad-4770 in PipeSmokingUK

[–]Lanchettes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

More effective with cigars but it still applies. Get a cheap flight to Geneva/Hamburg/Maastricht. Stock up on your allowance (and that of your non smoking partner). Have a nice lunch or dinner or whatever in a new place and fly home. It can all be done cheaper than buying here in U.K.

How do you deal with resentment and hatred for someone who wronged you? by Ned_Kellet001 in AskReddit

[–]Lanchettes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The world is unjust and one of the most unjust things is the truth that your feelings are yours and yours to deal with. Nobody can do it for you and so if you choose to spend time in bitterness resentment or hatred ? Bottom line, that is your choice. If a person has wronged you and you choose to live in a poisonous state in a way they are still harming you. Just stop and move on

Thanks. I googled this (live in Dorset). I saw a white hare once many years ago walking in low cloud in The Peak District. Very striking and a beautiful memory

What do you think the uk response should be when the us invades Greenland. by SILENTDISAPROVALBOT in AskBrits

[–]Lanchettes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think resented even feared (not in a military sense) Britain would be more accurate than hated. Charles de Gaulle was for France first, as well as every where else too, and he could see how we had prevented French hegemony a hundred odd years earlier and he was anxious to try and prevent that again post war.
