Have ti say. Im sorta interested to findbout what the answers are.

I support the community. And am annoyed at how little recent governments have.

But info like this really only comes up when you know folks going through the process.

tldr. Thanks for posting an interesting question

This. Ignoring the questionable source.

Other than denying Kerch bridge has anything to do with the UK. And they have provided 0 evidence to indicate it was.

Nothing they claim in any way disagrees with the UK open policy on Ukraine. Even if the UK blow Kerch bridge. It would be seen as supporting Ukraine’s own desire to keep their territory. Rather than anyway, proving that Ukraine would want to surrender without the UK “Plotting to keep them fighting”

Nothing here at all disagrees with the goals openly declared by the UK government. Under both current and previose leadership.

yeah, auto correct.

Again I agree on principal.

But this event does not look like that.

This will look to outsiders, including those that voted Brexit in the UK (and a % that did not). Like the EU customs agency is punishing the UK for leaving,

And while that is in no way good for the UK. It is exactly what UK and US right wing nutcases want.

As it allows a pretty believable attack that the EU is no longer a vol entry organization. But one that will actually work to destroy the econ of anyone that leaves once they are a member.

Come on, be honest with yourself. Looking at the right wing’s use of misinformation over the last decade or so. And the number of people believing it. I’m sure you can see how dangerous this can be. Accidental or intentional. It could be used to harm EU trade outside the EU.

Err.

Negro existed for 400 years or more.

Miget came from greak shows fron the 1700s.

Arsehole has a very long history. But you would still be offended it I called you it? And likely object to a pub called the puckered arseholes retreat.

Actually scratch that. Id likely drink there. But yeah my point stands.

Every ofensive thing has a long history. Progress is non exisrant if we dont evolve. And language is one of the things that evolves rapidly.

Its more about why the name exists amd the links it crate. then the age of its creation.

An over simplification, although the general point about Brexiters not understanding is correct.

The UK was giving more to the EU then we got back in funding. That is fine, in my opinion we were better off then others.

But the numbers Brexiters used were openly ignoring that some of that money was very much coming back to the UK as funding.

While completely dismissing the huge fiscal benefits being in the customs and trade union gave us. Over trying to trade outside that union with any options we could achieve without it.

Our current lack of funding. And the less extreme one we had before brexit. While not helped by the stupid vote. Was entirly due to us voting in governments that refused to invest in anything significant since the 1980. Plus adding governments that impelmented austerity rather then internal investment since 2010.

While correct and leaving was stupid.

This is a worldwide competition. And as such has procedures to allow entry from non EU nations.

So it really is the one place where Brexit stupidity should not have left the UK at a disadvantage.

Clearly something went wrong. And if the articles claim that the UK was trying to communicate with EU customs and identify that fault is correct. And no other nation fell into this issue.

It seems like this may not be a one-off issue. But instead, something that increases the burden to UK traders beyond even our own stupidity. To the point where we can’t even compete with other non EU nations within the EU.

Only fails to make sense. If you failed to read any significant portion of the said wall of text.

It was a wall because It was detailed in the history of solar power. Ill ELI5 for you.

We have funded solar power for decades. By allowing the industry to charge equal to other fuels. Meaning, for 20 years or more, companies have been trying to build solar plants all over the nation. And those that got there made a fucking fortune. Until the Tories ended part of it nearly 14 years ago. They stopped the subsidies. But still paid the same rate as more expensive power.

The problem with building solar is the politics from farmers and local communities. As the text described.

So

Solving politics is cheap and fast.

Utter crap. Solar power companies have been trying for 20 years.

Its not like you came up with a new idea.

Of building solar over nuclear. We have been trying for decades.

sorry blind (visually impaired) does make it hard.

PS, Let’s not be too surprised that a discussion like this. About a long term insult to disabled community members. Brings disabled people to argue against your statement.

The one unique point you raised, I’d like to address.

cutesy diminutive in a romance language.

First of, What does romance language have to do with anything. The term comes from the French for from Rome and is not related to its actual quality or friendliness to lovers.

But you are far from alone in misunderstanding that name. Romance languages can be as insulting and based around a history of human arsehole ness as any other. Heck, given Rome’s rather negative history to any culture differed to them. Some could argue it originated it as a way off life.

And your latest (non I miss replied) comment.

The word blind was not first used to describe vision. It was first used to describe bocking views for privacy, Again derived from the French. Then used for horse sight limitation and windows.

Our visual limitations are named after the tool not the other way around. Hence the community has no issue with blind being an insult. (we do find the fact everyone seems to assume it means zero vision annoying. But not offensive. Hence, the UK government move to visual impaired etc )

Giant and dwarf are similar. But opposite to your ideal expressed above. The terms come from myth and culture.

(most likely due to fossil finds and imagination. Small humanoid ancestors exist in the fossil record. And prehistoric bones, likely lead to many myths about giants and dragons in the less informed past.)

The idea of dwarfism and giantism as a condition was attached to people from that history. Not the other way around. But the community has reason not to consider being named after the fictional being flattering. Although my friend john really did not hate that one and would use it jokingly.

Midget, as you say, comes from romance languages. But you fail to recognise it actually comes from French circuses in the 1700s. As a description of a freak show member. And is very much linked to a number of disgusting abuses that were pretty much the only way these members of the disabled community were able to earn and feed themselves in our hostile past.

So when you name a car this. It is not cutesy. It is insulting to a whole community.

I spose it would be the equivelent of calling me a begger. Because you assume that is the only way I can live. As it was up till the early 1900s.

Then calling your new product beggar curtains rather than blackout. (yeah its a streach as others begged)

As a blind person.

It is a description of a condition not a belittling of it.

And while the UK government has rejected the term. It was not our community that objected.

Midgit is.

Stop trying to ease your own desire to be an arsehole. Youe answers make it clear you only care about your own use of language and gove fick all concern for the feelings of those that object to the use.

Everything about your statments is nothing but gaslighting and bullying those not lake you.

So fuck off ill just block you.

So your original comment about asking people suffering from the condition was crap.

Because the term little people was one requested by themselves. As early as the 1980. As a way to avoid the lack of respect post a time when midget and dwarf in circus freak shows was their only available employment.

You really care nothing for how anyone feels. Other than your loss of the ability to belittle other?

Actually no. My friend John did. Before he died in 1996. From complications related to what at the time was called dwarfism.

Sorry i assumed you were answering a different comment.

As you comment has no relevence to this one.

The fucking article points out the original complaint was also about the car being named after dwarfism. The pub was named after a record breaking car named after little people.

And my comment was you are ignoring the fact that people bullied should not be required to tell the bullies.

Its like saying its OK to hit people smaller then you because they are to scared to hit back.

How easy do you think it is to disagree when everyone around you thinks your acceptable to joke about.

If you actually read my comment. You would realise the car was named after a person’s physical abnormality.

The car was an insult from the beginning.

People said the same shit about the word nigro. Without yaking into account the dificulty faced by any bullied person to accuse the bully.

Requiring the victim to openly tell you your an arsehole is some of the worst indications of a gaslighting sence of ideals.

Not sure I can agree with your logic.

This is about the use of the word. More then its meaning.

Is it really reasonable to name a pub or car after a person based on there physical abnormality no mater what term we consider acceptable.

Your interpretation would suggest naming the car the little person would be accpetable today. But in the future would be offensive.

Honestly can you really claim the name littlebperson is ever an appropriate way to name a model of car or pub?

Wondering if anyone who knows the language/region.

Can confirm the terms they use. Because age of consent when its clear the child is not able to express a chioce or old enouth to understand what they would be agreeing to.

Seems like a western interpretation. Or are the laws there really that hypocritical in their terminology.

Yep.

Also while the UK governance structure is crap.

Other EU nations have some of the same issues. (As has briccs nations in the past)

This is more about corperation power. Capatalims control over government is everywhere. But fully embedded in the west.

‘Political malpractice’ sorta describes everything he does.

But, as statements go. It has the same value as suggesting he make his own orange die.

By drinking some not crap tea.

And being shocked this shit ripped you off for so long?
