>>383905Its a dire state. Germany is fecked, France is shagged, Sweden's making a recovery and Finland is just drunk.
>>383925So how best do you think to make threads here then? It's obviously not the same as you would make on /pol/ because it's slower and lasts longer. Would generals covering a broad topic be better than making threads around a single news item?
>>383928I made two threads before just because. One about the US-China trade war and another about an Airforce officer being relieved of duty. People have more to say about the trade war than about one specific solider so that thread is more active. Would it therefore be best to group topics like for example british politics, American domestic politics, german politics, japanese politics, whatever. As the board is slow you can make all these threads and they will stay up on the board for quite a long time, especially if people keep posting in them occasionally with links to news or whatever.
>>383928I think
>>383934's approach is best. I plan to update the thread with news links every morning when I have time, and anyone else is free to contribute. I made this thread as an anchor for the travelling brony brit/pol/ers. There were a few of them.

>In an interview broadcast just moments after the landmark ruling, trans campaigner Heather Herbert provoked a furious response from Croxall after declaring: 'I feel like I'm under attack.'
>Croxall, who clashed with Herbert throughout the interview, questioned how it was an 'attack', saying it was simply a 'clarification of what the word woman means'.
>The BBC veteran also challenged Herbert on whether local authorities who have not protected single sex spaces based on biological sex will now have to reverse policies, saying the ruling made it clear 'sex is binary and immutable'.
>On Wednesday, Supreme Court judges decided unanimously that the Equality Act's definition of a woman is based on biological sex. It means trans women with a Gender Recognition Certificate can be excluded from single-sex spaces if 'proportionate'.
>When asked for her reaction to the ruling which will have far-reaching implications for single-sex spaces, Herbert told Croxall: 'Obviously I'm disappointed, no judge can tell me who I am.
>'If a judge was to tell you that you're not a woman, that you're a man, it wouldn't change who you are, it wouldn't change how you feel.'
>Herbert went onto claim the UK was 'following in the footsteps of Trump's America', but Croxall pointed out there 'are already provisions which do protect trans people from discrimination, victimisation and harassment'.
>The trans campaigner, who made headlines when she performed dilation exercises following her gender reassignment surgery in a disabled toilet at Gatwick Airport in 2023, claimed it was an 'attack on minorities'.
>But this prompted a furious response from Croxall who said: 'I'm sorry, but how is this an attack on anyone? It's just a clarification surely of what the word woman means in the Equality Act.'
A simple solution to the trannys in the bogs problem is to simple relabel them from Male/Female to XX/XY. If they are still confused they can just use the disabled loos.
[Read more] >>384303Letting them use the disabled toilet is the compromise most seem to be giving.
>>384304Its fitting, considering they are mentally unstable.
>>384305Yeah but they'll probably kick off about that too.
>>384306They'll kick off over anything and everything, so it doesn't really matter what's suggested. At the end of the day the government will inevitably capitulate in order to enforce The Agenda™.
>>384307Surely with a supreme court decision that's the end of it even with the whinging. What could they do about it?
>>384308If these people are happy to reject the very fabric of reality, why, in the name of puffy pony ponuts, do you think they'll honour any manmade governing law? The insane cannot be reasoned with.
>>384311Of course there's always the "fuck the law" option but if you do that it becomes a lot harder to phone the police about it.
>>384312The police are in a different reality altogether, especially as of late. Much more interested investigating Twatter posts or arresting parents critiquing their daughters school than actually enforcing the law. I'm not sure what the future holds for these isles, but its not positive thats for certain.

>The Supreme Court's ruling that the definition of a woman in equality law is based on biological sex means trans women with a gender recognition certificate (GRC) can be excluded from single-sex spaces if 'proportionate'.
>Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC) chairwoman Baroness Kishwer Falkner has described yesterday's ruling as 'enormously consequential' and she vowed to pursue organisations which do not update their policies.
>On issues such as toilets, changing rooms and sports, Baroness Falkner echoed the Government in saying the ruling had brought 'clarity' to providers on their duties under equality law around single-sex spaces.
>Asked if it was now simple that trans women cannot take part in women's sport, she told BBC Radio 4's Today programme: 'Yes, it is.'
>On changing rooms and toilets, Baroness Falkner said: 'Single-sex services like changing rooms must be based on biological sex.'
>She said there is no law against organisations providing a third space such as unisex toilets and suggested trans rights organisations 'should be using their powers of advocacy to ask for those third spaces'.
>The commission is expecting to lay an updated statutory code of practice before Parliament by the summer, and has said it is working 'at pace to incorporate the implications of this judgment' into the code for public bodies setting out their duties under the Equality Act.

>>384703>Matt told viewers: “Now, you have been lied to. For decades you’ve been told that you must be subjected to millions of people entering this country, and for what? Well beyond the baseless claims of cultural enrichment multiculturalists have made, we were told that it was going to be good for the economy, that it would lift all boats. That was the argument that ran through much of the commentary about mass immigration from the 1990s onwards.”>He went on to say: “For years, the liberal establishment insisted that more people meant a higher GDP. And that could only be a good thing for everyone – a more productive, more dynamic economy. But now a new bombshell report from one of the largest global establishment institutions, the International Monetary Fund, the IMF, has shattered that consensus, revealing that low skill mass immigration is, shock horror, suppressing the wages for the poorest workers in the west.”>Matt concluded: “But is this really news, I ask? Is this really a bombshell report at all, or is it actually just the latest report to find that the liberal establishment has been getting this wrong for many years, if not decades?”If a bunch of racist spastics, who originated from the hate machine of the internet can conclude that importing millions of people from third world countries isn't good for the economy, I dread to think how low the bar is for those in positions of political influence.

>The founder of Mumsnet said she feared the site might not survive after they were branded ‘bigots’ and blacklisted by big business for standing up for women’s rights.
>Justine Roberts singled out Barclays and Ocado, who she claimed had refused to advertise or partner with the popular online forum when they called for the Government to clarify the definition of ‘a woman’ under equality legislation.
>In a statement posted on Mumsnet in the wake of Wednesday’s Supreme Court ruling, Ms Roberts said she felt under intense ‘pressure’ from activists because of their stance, but stressed that ‘even in the darkest moments’ she refused to ban discussion on the issue, saying that would have been ‘contrary to what Mumsnet is about.’
>Ms Roberts wrote: ‘It’s been severely testing at times – there were moments I genuinely thought we might never see the tide turn, or at least not in our generation…Mumsnet risked being permanently labelled as bigoted, vicious, and ‘on the wrong side of history’.
>‘A fair number of organisations pulled their advertising under pressure from activists – both internal and external. I’m sure there were many more we never heard from who simply steered clear.
>Commercial partnerships became noticeably harder to secure. The low point was discovering we’d been blacklisted on instruction from the top brass at Barclays – just weeks before their CEO resigned over concealing ties to Jeffrey Epstein.
>‘When we included a call to clarify the definition of sex in the Equality Act in our 2024 Mumsnet Manifesto, Ocado – who had been excited about a partnership – abruptly pulled out, citing Mumsnet’s ‘hateful political views’.
>Despite repeated attempts to explain our position – as a platform committed to amplifying women’s voices – they’ve refused to speak to us ever since.

The next one is Griffish Isles in Manchester in two weeks
https://www.griffishisles.uk/ >>386222Yeah, that's ones a bit too short notice for my budget. Also, Manchester. Birmingham in October isn't looking too good either, cause of the bin situation.
>>386225Surely the bin strikes must be done by then
>>386231Depends really. £6k is quite the pay reduction.
>>386232Fair point. Maybe they’ll move have to move the con, if that’s even possible at this point
>>386233Should be okay, it's only the binmen employed by the local council that are on strike, rather than private service binmen. Not sure I can justify the £500 hotel room though.
>>386236WHAT?! No way it’s that much
>>386261That's about standard for 4 days at a reasonably modest hotel. I have found somewhere else £200 cheaper though. I just have expensive tastes I guess?

>>386215>UK PonyconI went last year. As the first con I've been to it was pretty decent, don't think I'll bother this year because the venue has changed, Nottingham was practically at my doorstep.

I was at Camp Equestria last year. It was great. There was a tent where the musicians played, and a fire not far away, where you could sit by the fire and listen to music, or roast marshmellows. There was a hot water dispenser where you could get tea, instant coffee, or cook ramen that I bummed off of people. People also set up a little arcade with games. It was great. I know the organizers. I've asked them repeatedly to make a second one, but they don't seem to want to. At least not until after BronyScot in July 2026, which they will help with.

>>386871Sounds interesting, if I still have any cash after Make Fair I will gladly join in other Brit/Euro Anons adventure.
>>386871>>386926I'm interested. I'll probably be skint after marefare but I don't have to pay for fuel so travel costs aren't an issue.
>>387368Alright I suppose. 4chan is showing slightly more signs of life.

In other news
>The ridiculous Lord Cashman – once a two-bit player in EastEnders – claimed this week that trans people are fleeing abroad seeking asylum because they’re terrified for their safety after the Supreme Court ruling that said a trans woman isn’t a woman. Really? Can he name these people? I very much doubt it because it’s believed no one has ever fled Britain to successfully claim asylum in another country. Which is probably why Cashman hasn’t been able to provide a jot of evidence to support his ludicrous claim.
>This is just hysterical rhetoric from a bloke who’s upset the Supreme Court didn’t do what he and his cronies at Stonewall wanted it to do. Because Cashman, who apart from his lacklustre stint in EastEnders, is also one of the founders of Stonewall, that insidious pressure group which now is as powerful as any union and has infiltrated every major institution in Britain – and brainwashed it. Except of course the Supreme Court which is probably why he’s throwing his toys out of the pram.
>Stonewall is also the reason countless NHS Trusts have been grovelling to the trans lobby this week, hinting they’ll defy the court ruling and falling over themselves to reiterate their unstinting support for the transgender and non-binary community.
>Pity these trusts haven’t been as vociferous in their support of the biological women in their care who have been degraded, embarrassed, even frightened at having had to share wards, toilets and other private spaces with men who called themselves women. Many were even more frightened by the tsunami of vitriol that came their way if they dared complain.
>These women had every right to be treated with dignity and care on single sex awards but were denied it because of hospitals’ slavish devotion to the trans lobby. They weren’t bigots or transphobes but that’s how our supposed health service made them feel.
>The truth is people like Cashman don’t care about the fear of biological women. They haven’t for one second considered the fear and the humiliation they’ve experienced thanks to them having to share their private spaces with trans women?
>And all these frightened, vulnerable people Cashman and his cronies are talking about, it’s a pity their voices have been drowned out by the aggressive trans mobs that hit London’s streets last week inciting the murder of people who disagreed with their ideology.
>And they’re due to do it all again this weekend
[Read more] >>386198>heatwave in mayToo early in the year for this shit. Fingers crossed it'll at least mean clear skies at night so I can see the moon.
>>387630Neighn. Zer vill be clouds.
>>387623So now that the Supreme Court has told them what's what, where do they next go? The ECHR? Terrorism?
>>387675I'd really like to know why we sold Chagos. Sure, it's not a big deal - just another in a long list of small humiliations - but why? What do we get out of this? Less overhead on overseas bases? Better prices on chinkslop?
>>387676Because we're run by traitors basically.
>>387685Pretty much that. Just realised I haven't done the news for the past few days.
>>387687Sorry, been having a pretty shitty week. I'll do better.
>>387688I do appreciate you doing it.
>>387676Sell? It's to be given over to Comorros or whoever and then leased back at the cost of many billions of dollars.
>>387697Run by traitors, as I said.
So will you guys return to 4chan, or stay here? Personally I'm staying.
>>387699I'll certainly go back to see what's what but the slower pace here is quite nice once you get used to it. Having posts fed into you every minute and having to formulate potentially quite complicated replies quickfire is very mentally taxing and I'm pretty sure not good for you to do for too long. This time of decompression away from it has done us all some good I think, so yeah I may stick around in some capacity as well.
>British scientists could experiment with techniques to block sunlight as part of a £50 million government funded scheme to combat global warming. The project will be funded by the Advanced Research and Invention Agency, known as ARIA. >Professor Symes said the project would not use toxic substances and that an environmental impact assessment would be published before any outdoor experiments and that communities in the area would be consulted. Amazing. Wasn't Gates wanting to do exactly the same thing?
>>387700I popped on briefly after it came back up, still exactly the same content like nothing had changed.
>I'm pretty sure not good for you to do for too long(you) addiction is a very real thing. No different from likes on social media. I'm content with the speed of things.
>I may stick around in some capacity as well.I'll do a better job on the news links in future. Might even start archiving them.
>>387703Yeah (you)s are a thing for sure, but I do mean the pace. Like your brain is not meant to be running that intensely over a long period and you start to slip. Your attention span goes to shit to the point you're not even reading whole posts before you reply and you start writing in shorter sentences. Basically turn into a bot. I would probably never even write a post like this there, instead like 5 1-2 sentence replies instead.
>>387703Also saw that 4chan came up briefly today too. Looked like most of the threads were just whatever was on the board when it went down. There were a couple of new ones going "Hey it works" but that was about it.
>>387706Uncle Ted wasn't wrong when he proclaimed that the industrial revolution was the downfall for humanity. The faster media we consume, the faster we seek out more. Dopamine addiction is a genuine sickness of the modern era. We're social creatures (like pone) and seek validation, akin to that Pinkie and Donk episode. Some people do that by starting an OnlyFans, others sit on imageboards spamming from different IP addresses in a British political general because that's the only social interaction they can get.
Slow imageboards are a boon. They allow for genuine engagement, and passively encourage posters to put effort into their responses, to further the conversation. There is still a degree of (you) addiction, but it's spread out over a longer period of time.
>>387708>There were a couple of new ones going "Hey it works" but that was about it.It's back up and running now.
>>387712Huh. So it is. The main page still returns and error but you can go to the board through the URL. Whatever, I'll look at it later.
>>387712>They allow for genuine engagement, and passively encourage posters to put effort into their responses, to further the conversation.Yes this is true. Taking a minute to actually think about what you are writing rather than trying to have a conversation with 5 people simultaneously on different topics where you are all posting faster than the cooldown timer. I suppose you could say that /pol/ is a victim of its own success in that way. As board speed increases, quality nosedives. Though on the other end if you feel like you are talking to yourself in an empty room it's not so nice either. There is definitely a sweet spot somewhere in the middle.
>>387716That's one of the many things I disliked about brit/pol/, you were encouraged in one way or another, to post as fast as possible. Threads often died during peak hours before I could respond. Cross thread conversations weren't always successful as people either forgot or were engaging in a new LARP. As you wrote, quality died with haste. I did have some interesting conversations, certainly, but I would liken that experience to screaming into the void only to get a faint, flickering light as a response.
>>387722There you scream into a mosh pit and might get some sense out of it sometimes. Here you scream into the void and it sometimes replies lol.
>>387723An apt description. I've been reading through the history of /mlpol/, quite interesting.
>>>mlpol/archive/18636Direct link incase the above doesn't workhttps://mlpol.net/mlpol/archive/18636 >>387725I was actually here when this site was first made. It's why I know it existed. Would be nice to read about what happened in the mean time though, so cheers.
>>387728Where did you leave off at?
>>387728It's an interesting account. Never knew that /qa/ was flooded with pone.
>>387729Can't remember really. I think I just looked around for a couple of days like "Hey cool, this exists" but then just kind of forgot about it with whatever else going on in the world.
>>387733Well, there were a number of false-flag raids. Like, one time we raided /cm/ (cute males) as though it meant cute MARES. Never claiming credit, it was just about fucking with people. IDK if you were around for the endchan32 raids but THOSE lads (and I'm told, like soyjack it was just one dude) they fucked us up. No kidding, they knocked us OUT
>>387736Eh? I don’t remember that. Are you talking about the sports people?
>>387738Yes. I might be mixing up the source, endchan32 was the antifa links iirc.
But yes, it was the sp people. What was the name of the one who nuked us? Casper? Ghost? Its been so long. But yeah, he made us his biatch for a minute.
Unlike soyjack, which is credited for 4chan
>>387725Just had a thought. No doubt more than a few people decided to just fuck off from 4chan over all this, so quality on /pol/ might improve somewhat now with less posters making noise.
Having read through that account, I feel like April next year could be quite entertaining. The downside is it requires at least 200 people in a coordinated effort.
[YouTube] Rarity - Idea!
[Embed]>>387747An ill formed thought, the machine never changes, and I have no desire to return there except for the above amusing idea.
>>387753Might be more forlorn hope than anything but it might help. Who knows.
>>387754Wishful thinking I'm afraid.
>>387739So what were you raiding over? Or was it just for the lulz and it went horribly wrong?
>>387756Let them settle in a bit. They're all excited right now.
(Yes I am going to keep thinking about that wish)
>>387764Bet you five bits
or a pint that the place will not have changed a month from now. Deal?
>>387699Britpol and ponies are both relevant to my interests, so I'll stick around.
In other news, I bought everything I need for Griffish Isles next weekend
>>387787Come on over, we don't stab. Much.
>>387776Not in london though, £8 a pint is ridiculous.
>>387780Thank you. Means a lot that people are at least interested in engaging here.
>>387797People are watching a thing if you want to join.

>>388070I know this pain, in my local area, when went for a walk (decade ago or so), maybe 1 person per 50~ people had dark skin (indian/arab/african/whatever), now it feels like the street is made out of them from anywhere between 15% to 30%.
>>388071Walked past the hostel for homeless people earlier whilst shopping. Loads of coalskinned foreigners hanging around outside each with a bottle of frosty jacks. I dread to think what summertime is going to be like.
>>388079>pass by a hotel on my daily route>real hotel, intended for holidaymaking and the like>all i see coming and going are towelheads>even the door staff are arabs>it's literally just a daycare for raft ridersNational indignation aside, I guess it's better that they live there than on the streets. The local indigenous smackheads would probably eat them alive.

<i compare them to redditorator/discordant mods with much more power irl >Islamophobia is the irrational fear of, hostility towards, or hatred against the religion of Islam or Muslims in general.
I wouldn't call a genuine concern irrational.
>>388289i am an ex-muslim , islam is retarded and still in its ''dark age'' era , you could find some open-minded or western lovers or just chill people

but why the fuck would you follow a religious that:
1.allows pedophilia and child marriage (FROM AGE OF 9!!!
2.allows sex-slavery and force marriage and rape
3.looting and salvaging other countries and jihadists >>388290Don't be coy. Millennia ago, islam embraced the enlightenment and brought mathematical concepts still in use today. What afflicted islam was ignorant tyrants.
Not unlike Christendom
>>388290yeah i know , it was good for its
"golden era"so many medical and scientific advancements happened
but any religion can get fucked when it is far from its root

but i live in iran and i tested the pure islam and how much extreme it can be when it is in power
islamic theocracy is shitit can be said about most theocratic style govs >>388291>Millennia ago>brought mathematical concepts still in use todayPerhaps. But what everybody cares today, including you, are the European Industrial Revolution's fruits, meaning technology.
>What afflicted islam was ignorant tyrantsWhere I live, it is infected with muslims, from the maybe 500 homes I have entered in the last years, there was not ONE SINGLE ONE in which the inhabitants owned a book, except the koran. It is not the leaders, it is those people per se who are born backward, narrow minded, soulless, and are unassimilable. Not to mention that have been our declared enemies for centuries.
>>388294i once said
>there are no extremist islamists and there are no liberal/progressive muslims>just retarded muslims<maybe it be a bit over generalization buti could hardly find a muslim whom brain are not in a thought controlled cage of traditional islam
whom that not chained themselves from the ability to criticize ass-backward trads
