Oh DC is fantastic..I didn't mean to imply otherwise...
and I know a few natives of DC that would take umbrage at me calling them "invented"

But as majestic/awe inspiring as it is..it ain't real..they can't pick crabs! (Maryland steamed crab).
I've seen them ( DC bureaucrats) come to Phillips crabhouse on the Inner harbor,and avoid the crabs..

We all went on a trimaran around Chesapeake Bay getting really pissed and stopped off at a restaurant to eat seafood including crabs.

Yet left wingers like Tony Benn and George Galloway both wanted out, how do you explain that? Indeed Michael Foot was vehemently in favour of withdrawal and if Labour had won in 1983, we would have been out over 30 years ago.

Because they considered, rightly, that the EU was irredeemably capitalist. Now we face a fascist dictatorship if we don't remain.

Labour has turned into a totally unelectable rabble which was wholly predictable from the moment Corbyn was first elected.

Your Press has certainly been screaming at him hysterically since he was elected, and the tory careerist MPs trying to sabotage the Party. So what's new? The mugs always believe their masters, except when they don't, and those fat farts always tell them the shit is bound to rise to the top of the cess-pool so we can have a nice May dictatorship or whatever until the end of time.

Along with a fair chunk of the Labour Party that can see he is just another George Lansbury.

These are the ways Cameron actually changed society - and what we can expect from Theresa May
'Britain has the lowest*social mobility*in the developed world,' David Cameron said in a speech five years after he became Prime Minister, which was about as encouraging as what May has said this week

“Listen to this: Britain has the lowest social mobility in the developed world. Here, the salary you earn is more linked to what your father got paid than in any other major country. I’m sorry, for us Conservatives, the party of aspiration, we cannot accept that.”*

Those are the words of David Cameron in 2015. He was right: the UK had – and has – appalling levels of social mobility and income inequality, some of the worst in the developed world. At the point at which Cameron explicitly chose to bring this sorry fact up, he’d already been in power for five years – and absolutely nothing had changed.

Actually, it’s not true to say that nothing had changed. Overall inequality remained basically stagnant, but some other important indicators of national hardship had seen significant developments.*The number of children in absolute poverty was rising, having previously fallen year on year since the mid-nineties. It was 2010 – the year that Cameron took the helm – that marked the reversal of this trend; since then, 500,000 extra children have sunk into poverty, two thirds of whom have at least one parent in work.

People in the bottom 10 per cent of the UK population have on average a net income of £8,468 in 2016. The top 10 per cent have net incomes almost 10 times that (£79,042). Meanwhile, wealth is still spread unevenly across the UK, with the average wage in the North East of the country differing from the average wage in London by about £15,000 per annum.*

If you’re a child who grows up in one of those poverty-stricken households with a parent on a very low salary and few qualifications, your chances of bettering yourself through higher education haven’t gone up under “the party of aspiration” either.

But compare what Cameron said during his speech in 2015 with what Theresa May said this week, as she set out the little that is required of her prime ministerial manifesto. “It is apparent to anybody who is in touch with the real world that people do not feel our economy works [for everyone],” she said, citing the “ordinary members of the public” who “made real sacrifices after the financial crash in 2008”.

Never mind that she voted for the bedroom tax, against using public money to create guaranteed jobs for young people who had spent a long time unemployed, and against tax breaks for small firms taking on extra workers. Most depressingly, she even voted against curbing payday lenders (or loan sharks, as many of us in that “real world” she references call them).

May voted, in 2013, against creating 100,000 affordable homes that would begin to tackle the housing crisis and against banning unfair lettings fees levied by estate agents on tenants rather than landlords. She voted for schemes that would allow employees to sell their rights. She voted against curbing “rip off” rail fares and energy bills, and in favour of repealing the Human Rights Act. And despite grand remarks about our great British industries and how they mustn’t be allowed to collapse or fall into the hands of asset-stripping corporations from overseas, she voted against plans to save the steel industry this year.

The Labour MPs are terrified at the thought of a socialist government, obviously, but nobody supports them, and they're not fit to work outside that dosshouse, unfortunately, so they won't go willingly.

Who was it that said that 'The trouble with socialism is that eventually you run out of other people's money'?

:0) In other words .. stupid motherfucker .. you never said a word about right-wing attacks on Mrs. Obama.

Thanks for playing.

I'm not playing, that's what you do little man. I neither attacked nor defended Michelle Obama. I did stupidly engage in a hate Melania thread in an attempt to show how ugly, and stupid, it is to attack Melania. Too late I realized, not only the juvenile attempt that it was, but the futility of engaging posters like you with a mirror. You are too eaten up with bitter hate and self righteous indignation.

Juniorocracy

Your Ewe Qae writer suspiciously covered up the main point he presented, which is that postmodern job opportunities are based on birth rather than worth. We will collapse unless the sons of the rich are stripped of all their privileges. Inheritance must be confiscated in order to fund the most talented of the youngest generation. If we have to do it on our own, so must the HeirHeads. If they continue to get in our way, we must run them over.

No one has a right to a dime from Daddy; that's for children. The guillotine fodder's unearned privileges include living off an allowance in college, with tuition all paid up; trust funds; financing; and inheritance.

We outnumber the spoiled brats by at least 100 to 1. That's not fair, so we throw in their faces their own bullying slogan "Life Isn't Supposed to Be Fair!" We can crush them like grapes. It's time to quit whining and start making wine.

If symbolism means anything, it doesn't help to have a monarchy and titles of nobility.

Like Duke, Knights, Barons and..... Esquire!:)

Whoever Controls Language Controls Thought

Titles are just words; don't be fooled by thinking they determine whether a nobility exists or not. Anyone with a rich Daddy is an aristocrat. Our own HeirHeads should go back to the crumbling castles of Europe where they belong, and choke on the dust.

Rednecks Are Yellow

For most of its existence, the Republicans protected and financed the Klan because it opposed labor unions. Buttboys for the Bosses, thousands of Klansmen were sent up North to scab. The sissy song "Detroit City" whines the false charge of being picked on because of a Southern accent, but it was really all about Southerners driving down Northern wages.
