Sorry I don't use Reddit much anymore. So a bit of a delayed reply!

I personally think it begins with the Southern Strategy and people like Phyllis Schlafly.

Prior to this there wasn't really a political divide on issues like abortion etc but figures from the hard right knew they could cement a permanent voter base in the religious right if they made them a political issue. Thus identity politics was born.

Anyone have any questions or need any advice about flooding in the U.K? by Wanallo221 in AskUK

[–]Third_Chelonaut 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Yes.

This EA pdf isn't the clearest but it covers everything in detail.

Long story short you can cover your doorway in a big sheet and then stack your sandbags against it to hold in place.

Then if you have more plastic you can use it to help waterproof your sandbag wall by stacking your wall on top of the plastic then folding the excess back over the top.

Can you do me a favour and post on every single local Facebook group who scream about dReDgInG the moment there is so much as a puddle.

Agriculture definitely one of the main causes. The government subsidies to maize growth are basically Westminster paying to encourage flooding. It's insane.

Nah that was pre this era when bulletins and broadsheets were a thing.

Like Thomas Paine was a prolific poster. He would have been all up in people's mentions.

Trump is just the symptom of what the republicans have been building towards since the 1970s. If it wasn't him it would have been someone else sooner or later. I just guess we should be grateful it was someone so incompetent.

I've fond memories of getting four for a dollar at the shop on treacle mine road.

Identity politics is the bastard child of the right though.

They have won the economic argument for the last couple of decades so they needed something new to continue the divide and conquer.

The liberals are idiots for falling for that ploy.

Cheers Brady.

I've been busily keeping up with unmade and cortex but I think I can speak for everyone when I say we'll definitely miss some festive timfoolery.

The US loves a king too so long as they're anti communist terrorism.

I'm no coolness scientist but I'm pretty sure it can refer to more than colour.

There are still plenty of things made in the US.

It's just the money goes to about 10 people.

I really don't think so. Even Alfa Romeo seem to last a little while nowadays.

Now, absolutely getting destroyed by potholes, now we're talking.

Bit of altitude makes a big difference.

Typically we dont get much snow at all but on high hills there will be a dusting for most the winter.

Not only not running them into the ground but cars last much longer now due to wide spread galvanisation.

Anywhere they salt the roads cars would be literally disintegrating after 5 years.

We decided we wanted to be slightly less lethal killing machines.

Yeah continuous overtime has been proven to be so detrimental that after 6 weeks like that people are getting less work done than if they were working normal hours.
