>>586332What absolute fucking navel-gazing. From her wikipedia:
>In 2014, Williams defended the social policy legacy of former Labour prime minister Tony Blair and denounced those calling him a war criminalThat byline is astonishing because it so openly vaunts her position to a degree to which she is not aware; reading this garbage is like watching puppets ramble on about the inanity of their own lives, all the while unaware that they have Adam Smith's invisible fist shoved up their arse. You end up with love letters like this:
https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2024/jan/02/how-can-keir-starmer-win-big-this-year-by-leading-with-love-and-ambitionin which they pontificate on large about the necessity for structural reform from a party that in the same breath has abdicated all political will to do so. The sheer irony of that title being about love and ambition, from an incumbent government that is in lock-step with the securtiy state regarding Britain's 21st century imperialist policy.
This idiot straddles contradictions such that she could walk on both sides of the Avon gorge.

>>586324I knew someone who moved to the US and then moved back. Said that while raw wages were higher, quality of life wasn't any better, health insurance ate up a lot of that increase in wages and there was other stuff that you'd get 'free' paid for with taxes over here. Working hours were longer and expectations higher and you'd get fuck all time off. Houses are piles of shit built with sticks, and renting is even worse than here. Although this was a good few years ago and a middle state, not one of the ones on the coast so I dunno.

As the same time as the electorate go to the polls in order to oust the Tories in an attempt to end a decade and a half of their own political repression, what they will essentially be voting in is the beginning of its new rule.

>>586360Not really accurate, unsurprisingly. Highgate Cemetery want to bury new people as that's about half their income, but the place is practically full so they got a grant to clear out old graves for new ones. Marx's area is relatively old so they're clearing our graves near him. It'd be more accurate to say people are spending shit tons of money just to be buried in Highgate Cemetery.

>>586367It's been fairly common throughout history up until urban cemeteries to reuse graves, back in the olden days they would put the bones in a charnel house or bury them deeper. It's common practice in Germany, my mum has to pay a gardener to upkeep all her relatives' graves otherwise after a relatively short period of time they'll get dug up and the graves reused. I don't really have a problem with it if no-one's around who knew or had a connection to the person, grave space isn't endless. In this cemetery's case they're doing burials over 75 years old and putting up notices and contacting relatives where possible to enable them to object.
>>586369They're digging them up, burying them deeper and doing new graves on top of them. So necromancy is still on the table.
