Ska is simple, fun music that cares little for anything other than being fun, and is often gleefully immature.
Ska, as youngsters know it today, was reinvented by the 2-Tone movement in the UK (specifically Coventry) in the late 70s. The scene was overtly political and as @NuPNuA has stated was a deliberately multicultural movement, hence the name.
If you want to hear some original ska from Jamaica then have a look for songs by Prince Buster but beware you will find some historical attitudes.
This is because inflation isn't a bug it's a feature.
Anything that transfers wealth up the chain, from working class to middle class and from middle class to upper class, is a feature of the western economic system.
For example, in England and Wales the Bank of England is charged with keeping inflation at a target of around two per cent. This means that the pound in a workers pocket is supposed to devalue. The advantage is that the government borrows money in its own currency so inflation means that its debt goes down (in real terms) when inflation goes up.
Yep, people here in England and Wales (Scotland has a similar system too AFAIK) are remanded in custody if they constitute a flight risk or a danger to the public at large. There are no bonds.
Just FYI, the CEO of Fable Studios is one Edward Saatchi. His father is Maurice Saatchi whose advertising agency was partially responsible for ten years of Conservative rule under Margaret Thatcher. The family absolutely has previous with union bashing.
Yes, I agree. I just wanted to point out that Brexit wouldn't have happened without some fairly serious money being put behind it (UKIP's funding had to come from somewhere and there were not one but two pro-Brexit campaigns Vote Leave and LeaveEU) and that money had to spent with a purpose.
This is a great post but I would say that there were some people who were absolutely dedicated to achieving Brexit and in large part their participation can be explained by the proposed financial transaction tax.
The idea that a supra-national entity might be able to impose a tax that could be difficult to mitigate was absolutely intolerable to various millionaires and billionaires e.g. The Telegraph owning Barclay Brothers. Any downsides from the resulting chaos, which in any case would only affect the working and lower middle classes, would be more than offset by the ability to bank offshore and retain their profits untaxed.
I used to hate tomatoes too. Couldn't figure out why my brother and mother would eat them all the time, they dipped them in salt even. At some point I started liking foods made with tomatoes like pizza and so on. The point at which tomatoes started making sense to my is when I worked out they were a fruit, so rather than waiting for a savoury taste I knew I was getting a slightly less sweet grape. And then I deduced from that you could have a grape and Camembert sandwich. If you haven't tried this combo, you're missing out.
I look forward to the aliens response being something along the lines of, "You're God's best boys and girls, yes you are, who are blessed little ape-beings? You are, yes all of you."
