Crikey, it’s way past my bedtime. But, in thinking of  immigrants & how different voters felt immigration to be a cacophony, with tolerance for only “some” but not “others” I’m reminded of Marcuse -at least I think it is: the law & order are everywhere the law & order which protect the established hierarchy.

I would say voters were oppressed, if…[Read more]

@bluesqueakpip

You were suggesting not all votes are equal because, by almost voting for the Lib Dems, which have anti-Brexit stance, you were attempting to unseat the unpleasant Labour candidate?

Had you done so, even though you oppose Remain, it would appear to others as ‘mildly fickle’ or worse, ‘using’ your vote for a specific reason -to…[Read more]

another qu I was too silly to ask, was “how was the referendum counted?”

here, it’s the majority of people (nationwide) in a majority of states or a “double majority.” A triple majority is if  referendum affects people directly in a specific state & where a majority is also required.

@bluesqueakpip  *”deliberate rantings by madmen” ie British Labour.

also @pedant the bracket there  lost your name.

@fatmaninabox @winston @bluesqueakpip @pedant @blenkinsopthebrave & any others I’ve left out.

On many levels, this is very bad. I had no idea proportional representation didn’t exist. I had no clue Corbyn was  Marxist, anti-Semitic, pro IRA.

@Fatmaninabox my sympathy to you, Your story emerged from a significant personal relationship which…[Read more]

I didn’t realise your husband’s condition was terminal. I’m so sorry to hear this. Do the doctors think he’ll be with you and your daughter at Christmas?

the life of sorrows, isn’t it?

@pedant

Awful. I was listening to her literally 3 days ago on Sunday night. Checking out my CDs & bits & bobs.

triffic voice.  It Must Have Been Love also rocketed them up with Christmas For The Broken Hearted.

@whisht  Ah! Yes, this one I know -not the song, though so thanks for that. I heard Kramer was jailed for dealing but ended up p…[Read more]

@cathannabel I’m so sorry to hear this. So sorry. Anything you need, we’re here….Or just for the peace of knowing someone’s there but you may not  want to talk – just at the moment.  It’s not easy to find cheerful music but I shall look.

All our love, the Syzygy family. xxx

@whisht

I DO hope you realise I was joking?   Regarding “Syd.”

Also, *PM = Prime Minister. Personally I refer to it as Little Dick. Childish I know. Still.

@whisht I had a whole post & it was eaten. By your PM, probably.

But Syd? What did I ever do to you, huh? huh?

I’m gonna give you one back. The longest Bon Jovi song I can find! Huh! That’ll do you!

Tories and right-wing Press going with increasingly ‘populist’ messages (ie bigoted/ racist/ lock-’em-up/ scary Marxist Armageddon). But even a PM…

@Bluesqueakpip  and @miapatrick

Whoa. Is  CBT Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and OCAS? The Online College of Advanced Stem?

Very confusing indeed!

As for vowels? Oh yes, agreed – as does (loosely, I admit) this esteemed man of the people. “Subsidised foreign f**king vowels”

High voltage swearing:

@pedant. Thank you kindly!

@JanetteB I never saw S & S (I believe I have 2 DVDs of it. If I can find it, I’ll post one of ’em). Nor Galaxy Quest. That sounds ……interesting! QI was brilliant. Have you kept up with the new series? I love it equally. Another fab female. Speaking of……

This isn’t really Who related . But as our Jodie Whittaker sang Yellow for CIN I can c…[Read more]

Senior Syzygy here. Oh, am I a “senior” now, @pedant!

Promised violence of the Christmas kind.

Followed by something different.

That is utterly wonderful. The highlight of my week.
