akYuy2FMQk4 gKhjaGRhIYU Two LGBT-related videos from the beginning of the decade when things were rather different~. lcqwfFKagH4 Right at the end of the decade, but I also remember this video affecting me a lot as an emotional/lonely teenager lool. I also remember very NSFW version with erect dicks and all. 7Kyq0cA8fPE Tommy Cash, the Jacuzzi Boys and others have blown this concept out the water since, but the singing vagina one from the same period traumatised me a bit.

From a distance, but having spoken with family and friends and listening to analysis on the excellent New Statesman podcast, it seems like that everything that was a rule in France was merely a guideline in Britain. Over a million €135 fines were issued here, but I don't think authorities in Britain have had that kind of power to enforce concrete rules. The rules weren't complicated - you could fit the rules onto a page, and indeed you had to print and sign this page everytime you left home as a reminder. Even though lockdown enforcement is undoubtedly more lax in Britain, the ambiguity allowed police to make it up as they go along to some extent, leading to some clear cases of individual members of the police force overstepping their authority going viral. And no doubt the flipside is that many more cases of letting clear breaches of guidelines happen (that Westminster Bridge clapping for carers video, anyone?), most of which had no reason to be filmed. Loads of moralising on social media, too. I don't want to automatically put 2+2 together as I have no idea of the effect of this in terms of epidemiology, but this is the main behavioural difference I see. And then there's the easing of the lockdown. England will never also never have that absolutely glorious 11th May moment* that most of France and other countries had - the lockdown in England seems to be being eased by adding on niche exceptions on a weekly basis - reopening bloody garden centres or restarting horse racing only affects a minority but no doubt constant, seemingly arbitrary signals such as this encourages others to behave as they see fit, too. Reopening places of mass gathering such as schools before allowing friends to visit each other at home or launching your StopCovid tracing app smacks of forcing the the economy to restart (as necessary as it is!) over making decisions from a medical standpoint, or indeed implementing measures that help businesses and the wider economy work better remotely. And that's without mentioning the very guy that wrote the rules breaking them *with the virus* and there being no consequences at all. It's just awful communication all round from a government that makes it up as it goes along and whose main concern is quashing uncomplimentary headlines rather than having a long term plan. Governing by focus group is ineffective. *No second wave since then btw. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- As an aside, I don't know where you're getting the ethnic minority population claim from as most European countries haven't collected ethnicity statistics for decades.

I thought this too and I'm pretty sure there was a longer period of time where the rules were the opposite of what they are now.

@1267910596072058880 Jedward...... welcome to the resistance

She's been beyond the pale for a lot longer. I mean it was like over 3 years before the YouTube prank that she called for a Final Solution (her capitalisation) against Muslims. That statement, as well as similar around that time, was too much for even the Sun, Daily Mail and LBC and she hasn't appeared in mainstream media since. They were all fine to hire her for years after calling migrants cockroaches, indulging white genocide conspiracies etc. though.

I woke up and the things on my Twitter feed sent a shiver down my spine. I'm not quite sure how widely they're being seen given everything else going on: @1267588006426357761 @1267599264257015816 I know 0 American swing voters will actually read this but are we really gonna carry on claiming that the two leading presidential candidates are as bad as each other when the status quo is using the army + vigilante mobs to threaten crimes against humanity against its own citizens. Voting out Trump in November will stop the bleeding. It's irresponsible not to. If there's a fair election, as Iz rightly points out.

I do wtf If someone is stuck and wants to take one off me I'd be delighted.

@1266931827773751296 Me during a protest if the local police were institutionally violent to queer people.

Don't hesitate to post Jack! Those with an opposing or even hateful point of view don't hesitate to make their point, no matter how clumsily made (and your own was well articulated here anyway), so you shouldn't either. @1266920326182641670 I think this thread is important to post to show that, regardless of what you think of its effectiveness, there is so much peaceful protest going on during this and it's not just rioting. While many of the horrendous incidents are the police provoking the situation in various ways and on the aggregate, the behaviour of the institution is massively harmful, there are also individual members of law enforcement who have joined the protests.

I don't think it'll look like a second wave - it'll look more like a plateau. It's already slowing at a far more sluggish pace than in other European countries.

Given the comments, we can assume that somewhere out there, there is a poor 11-year-old girl confused because her divorced MAGA dad has banned her from listening to a popstar.

To be a bit more constructive: peaceful and violent protest often occurs side by side, and with regards to the long term legacy of them, it's difficult to separate the two.

What? The progress America made in the 60s was peaceful and devoid of riots? And there hasn't been a peaceful protest since then? I have no idea about what the correct course of action is in the present time, but let's not rewrite history: perhaps you should do some reading.

I know this is slow but I'm still on course to finish this before TBO and that's my only goal. <3

I don't remember Young Galaxy doing quite so well with their incredibly wholesome 'Fall For You' as they feel overlooked, and similarly, I knew Kiddy Smile was underrated but I didn't realise such an iconic entry (and video! It's one of the best videos on here!) was an outright flop. On the other hand, iamamiwhoami's win is entirely appropriate as in 2012 we were very much at peak hipster smoothie.

377 deaths in Britain today against 66 in France, with some countries hit really hard in March doing even better, such as just 2 in Switzerland and 38 over the course of the last week for Spain. A quick calculation suggests that more people are dying daily in Britain than the rest of Europe put together right now.

Gosh. Congrats Jupiterdonia! Great when it's close enough for each country's votes alone to influence the winner.

I voted for both of them but really wanting a Jupiterdonia win here!

Oops I've been in a Zoom call till now. I'm doing pretty awfully but appreciating that my points are coming from countries that don't often vote for me!

Gosh the charts got so much better and I'm so glad that I don't have to filter out a dozen novelty songs.
