I couldn’t stomach being in the same room as them .
Trouble is the Trumpites know you hate them, and they think you started all this, so there's yer civil war, right there
In a civil war of the young and fit against the old and obese, only one side will win.
The side carrying bigger guns.
There won't be a civil war because the army and security services are not deserting and joining 'the other side'. There could be civil unrest. If there is a right wing secessionist movement it would need significant parts of the army and airforce to come over to its side. I find that unlikely.
Total bollocks sorry, I hear this a lot what does the right to bear arms matter when the us military has all these toys.
Well the us military had all the best toys in vietnam whereas the vietnamese had what comes under the heading right to bear arms....the us lost
ditto afghanistan.
Which is even before the fact that in a civil war half the us military is likely to defect taking their toys with them
Vietcong were happy to live in tunnels on half a bowl of rice a week. MAGGOTS less so. Helicopter gunships when they go on a Walmart run, and BOOM.
The vietcong were already used to that style of living largely it is irrelevant.
Conventional armies pitted against conventional armies the best equipped have an advantage.
Conventional army against a guerilla force that blends into the population and has the clandestine support of many....they dont do so good
I just don't think MAGA phatbois are going to melt into the jungle quite like Charlie did. Cut off their social security, foreclose on their trucks and their houses, track their mobiles.
If there is an American Civil War, it would be close. Closer than the last one
And I significantly doubt the loyalty of the US Military to Woke Democrats
In the last Civil War, the losing side was emotionally crippled by knowing - deep down - that they were morally in the wrong. And their opponents felt the opposite
Not the case here
I honestly think an american civil war would lead to a british civil war along similar lines...woke leftists vs the white working class...
I honestly think you're living in a fantasy world of your own.
Might seem farfetched but imagine coverage of an american civil war on our tv screens every night...we know how humans have a herd mentality
Don't be dumb. No one looks at news footage of another country tearing itself apart and thinks 'oh, maybe we should do that too'.
Also, re: "woke leftists vs the white working class". No one gives a shit about 'woke' beyond a few right-wing nut jobs (some of whom are on here). People care about not being able to pay their fuel bills, afford the rent/mortgage, do their weekly shop, get a doctors appointment if they need one. They worry about climate change, about their jobs, their kids getting a decent education, their older relatives having proper social care, whether an ambulance would turn up if they need one.
Stuff like that. Woke, not so much.
You are delusionally wrong. Woke is so advanced in America: and many people care
People like you reckon it is the same as a Daily Mail scare story from the 90s. You think this is "political correctness gone mad"
That's as bad an error as identifying Covid as "just another flu"
wrong, it's the red scare for the 21st century.
So it's to the 21st century what communism was to the 20th century?
No it's to the 21st century what the american hysteria and over-reaction to fear of communism infiltrating their society was to the 20th century.

I went by USM at Uni, my girlfirend scoffed 'as if'
You win some and you lose some And I've lost the will to lose With my part time job and my faith in God Falling on a bruise
And this no star bed and breakfast And insolvency abuse, make me feel like throwing myself Off the kitchen shelf Falling on a bruise
And all of my unworldly goods, the bailiffs took them too For all the ducked bills and silly sods From Brian Mills's catalog Something borrowed, bartered and blue
You win some and you lose some, you save nothing, nothing for a rainy day You need your nutrasweet daddy or some peppermint paddy Or just a hackneyed old cabbie Who can drive you and your baby away
Two fives or a ten Could get me back to you And stop me Falling on a bruise
Thats the kiddy. Shoppers Paradise also has this classic little verse
Spend your money girls, on sprays and lipsticks Tested on bunnies, girls, strays and misfits Ozone friendly rape alarms, for those blinding dates Another summer of hate

If this is accurate a battalion of 500 Russian troops was sent to the front line armed with 3 spades and 4 grenades. They were abandoned by commanders who had told them they were there to be "meat". They were obliterated by Ukrainian artillery. If this is representatives then it explains the very high numbers of Russian troop losses lately.

Though the music recommendations on this thread are like Smooth FM on Valium. Not my cup of tea at all.
Music does bring back memories like Proust and his Madelaine, they are however very specific to individual, time and place.
I know what you mean. I did end up recommending a load of nineties tech house to a very intoxicated @casinoroyale once, but generally tastes on here are fairly MOR (which is fine, if you are in the mood for it)
Tastes on here are quite the opposite of MOR. If we asked for PERSONAL tastes you would get an amazing variety of new, old, classic, weird, urban, world, folk, electro-gangsta-folk (etc etc) music. I know this because we have done it. And much interest was provided thereby
We are specifically discussing Classic And Perfect Pop Songs. That's a canon, so this is canonical

For the record: PB's Collective Taste in Music is one of its finest attributes. We have had debates on "interesting new music" and multiple arcane, eccentric, weird, fascinating gems from all over the world have been unearthed. It is really impressive, not least in the way that posters you sort-of least-expect to have diverse tastes actually have amazingly diverse and well-informed tastes
This particular debate today was provoked by someone (I forget who!) saying that "Baker Street" heard in a gastropub on a rainy Sunday afternoon made for the Perfect Pop Song. Where you would not change a note
Thus began a long and intriguing debate on Perfect Pop Songs. The canon
For very personal reasons connected to a broken heart, Joan of Arc by OMD utterly destroys me
A little Catholic girl who's fallen in love A face on a page, a gift from above She should have known better than to give her heart She should have know better than to ever part Without me Without me
I gave her everything that I ever owned I think she understood though she never spoke She shouldn't oughta try to be that way She shouldn't have to go there ever again Without me Without me
Now listen to us good and listen well Oh, listen to us all and everything we tell We should have known better than to give her away We should have known better to this very day Without me Without me
Now listen Joan of Arc All you gotta do Say the right words and I'll be coming through Hold you in my arms and take you right away
Now she's on her way to another land We never understood why she gave her hand She shouldn't oughta promise because it's just pretend I know she doesn't mean it and she'll leave again Without me Without me
Though the music recommendations on this thread are like Smooth FM on Valium. Not my cup of tea at all.
Music does bring back memories like Proust and his Madelaine, they are however very specific to individual, time and place.
I know what you mean. I did end up recommending a load of nineties tech house to a very intoxicated @casinoroyale once, but generally tastes on here are fairly MOR (which is fine, if you are in the mood for it)
What's the blandest thing on the menu?
Fuck me, the wannabe edginess. This started as a conversation about pop *perfection* as embodied in Baker Street and Sultans of Swing, so it's bound to be about mainstream stuff. All the music which anyone has recommended has in fact been superlatively good. You are are a near-retired-because-theres-£1m-in-your-pension fund NHS medic. I do DMT about once a month. You have probably never heard of it, but it makes LSD look like lager shandy. I have got weirder things than you free in packets of cereal. So leave it.
It pains me to say it but Iran has clearly had an impact on the war in Ukraine. And yet what is the response to this? So far as I can see, nothing. It's remarkably brazen of them to think they could get involved in a war on the European continent on the other side of Nato.

Re, civil war, in the majority of wars where regular soldiers are pitted against guerillas, the guerillas lose.
Guerilla warfare is what you do when you don't have sufficient resources to maintain conventional forces. Where guerillas do well is when they are working in conjunction with regular forces (eg Vietnam, the Peninsular War, the Eastern Front from 1942-44).
If, civil war broke out in the US, and the US army broke decisively for one side or another, that side would win

Crowd shouting lock her up about Nancy Pelosi at a Trump rally . The Maga Trump Cult are despicable hate filled scum.
I couldn’t stomach being in the same room as them .
Trouble is the Trumpites know you hate them, and they think you started all this, so there's yer civil war, right there
In a civil war of the young and fit against the old and obese, only one side will win.
The side carrying bigger guns.
There won't be a civil war because the army and security services are not deserting and joining 'the other side'. There could be civil unrest. If there is a right wing secessionist movement it would need significant parts of the army and airforce to come over to its side. I find that unlikely.
Total bollocks sorry, I hear this a lot what does the right to bear arms matter when the us military has all these toys.
Well the us military had all the best toys in vietnam whereas the vietnamese had what comes under the heading right to bear arms....the us lost
ditto afghanistan.
Which is even before the fact that in a civil war half the us military is likely to defect taking their toys with them
Vietcong were happy to live in tunnels on half a bowl of rice a week. MAGGOTS less so. Helicopter gunships when they go on a Walmart run, and BOOM.
The vietcong were already used to that style of living largely it is irrelevant.
Conventional armies pitted against conventional armies the best equipped have an advantage.
Conventional army against a guerilla force that blends into the population and has the clandestine support of many....they dont do so good
I just don't think MAGA phatbois are going to melt into the jungle quite like Charlie did. Cut off their social security, foreclose on their trucks and their houses, track their mobiles.
If there is an American Civil War, it would be close. Closer than the last one
And I significantly doubt the loyalty of the US Military to Woke Democrats
In the last Civil War, the losing side was emotionally crippled by knowing - deep down - that they were morally in the wrong. And their opponents felt the opposite
Not the case here
I honestly think an american civil war would lead to a british civil war along similar lines...woke leftists vs the white working class...
Hampstead would see off Hartlepool easy. Hobnail boots and vulgar chanting no match for the fortified crepe van.
The heath would be a great place for the deciding battle....gays and wokes vs armed thugs
You have a very low opinion of the white working class. That's part of the problem.
Not really the white working class have a lot of common sense...maybe it helps that i actually know and talk to them....
So. What proportion are armed thugs? And how many gay or woke lefty? In your expert opinion?
Question for @Martin10. Is this armed thug white working class or gay?

OMD were and are notable songwriters
Apparently one of them didn't want to release "Souvenir" because the tune is "too pretty". Thought it would cheapen them. And yet the melody is timeless and haunting

It's entirely possible to be all three. Free country you see.

If Howe had defeated Washington's field army in 1776, and hooked up with Burgoyne at Saratoga, then the French/Spanish wouldn't have entered the war and it's possible the British could have won it.
Controlling Long Island, Rhode Island and the Hudson - together with the Royal Navy patrolling offshore - would have isolated the most rebellious New England colonies and even a strong militia in Connecticut and Massachusetts wouldn't have sustained the rebels. Howe could have launched a devastating march through there to retake Boston when he was ready, possibly combined with another thrust from Newport.
Once done, the middle colonies wouldn't have been able to put up much of a fight, and there were plenty of loyalists in the southern colonies who'd have overthrown the 'patriots' as soon as the bulk of their population had smelt the coffee.

I must confess I think Yellow by Coldplay is fantastic. Other songs by bands I generally don't like. Orange Crush REM. Crazy Little thing called Love Queen.

Not sure Orange Crush can be counted as perfect pop song. Far too edgy.
Only something off Automatic will count for REM in this category I think.

Gorgrous song, gorgeous singer. For bittersweet i rather like Up the Junction and Labelled with Love. In different ways just express the bleakness and shittiness of life.
He became drinker and she became mother, she knew that one day she'd be one or the other
I got a job with Stanley He said I'd come in handy And started me on Monday So I had a bath on Sunday I worked eleven hours And bought the girl some flowers She said she'd seen a doctor And nothing now could stop her
That's close to lyrical perfection, in its depiction of working class London life, with added pregnancy
The first 21 notes all downhill or the same as the previous note. Whether intentional due to the lyrics or not, it's an arresting start.
The middle eight is a thing of beauty too. Modulates through several changes to emerge a tone down from the home key, so later ("And now she's two years older") you get a double whammy of a tone-up modulation and return to the original home key. And then that final verse...
Other best middle eight: Nights on Broadway by Bee Gees
Other nomination for late 70s pop perfection: Ever Fallen in Love by Buzzcocks
All the things she said by Tatu was of course the best LGBT pop video by a Russian band in recent times, wasn’t it? Great to see those girls exercising their hard-won civil liberties.

Probably Man on the Moon or Everybody hurts
Man on the moon fits the autumn Sunday afternoon pub theme, which Everybody Hurts somehow doesn’t (it’s more of an April cruellest month spring track).
I could imagine Man on the Moon piping up behind the bar after Baker Street and Babylon, just before Dido’s White Flag and the Cranberrys’ autumn pub classic Linger.

"I can't do everything but I'd do anything for you.
I can't do anything but be in love with you.
And all I do is miss you and the way we used to be."
ISTR his PB name is a Carter USM inspired one.
You win some and you lose some
And I've lost the will to lose
With my part time job and my faith in God
Falling on a bruise
And this no star bed and breakfast
And insolvency abuse, make me feel like throwing myself
Off the kitchen shelf
Falling on a bruise
And all of my unworldly goods, the bailiffs took them too
For all the ducked bills and silly sods
From Brian Mills's catalog
Something borrowed, bartered and blue
You win some and you lose some, you save nothing, nothing for a rainy day
You need your nutrasweet daddy or some peppermint paddy
Or just a hackneyed old cabbie
Who can drive you and your baby away
Two fives or a ten
Could get me back to you
And stop me
Falling on a bruise
Thats the kiddy. Shoppers Paradise also has this classic little verse
Spend your money girls, on sprays and lipsticks
Tested on bunnies, girls, strays and misfits
Ozone friendly rape alarms, for those blinding dates
Another summer of hate

A little Catholic girl who's fallen in love
A face on a page, a gift from above
She should have known better than to give her heart
She should have know better than to ever part
Without me
Without me
I gave her everything that I ever owned
I think she understood though she never spoke
She shouldn't oughta try to be that way
She shouldn't have to go there ever again
Without me
Without me
Now listen to us good and listen well
Oh, listen to us all and everything we tell
We should have known better than to give her away
We should have known better to this very day
Without me
Without me
Now listen Joan of Arc
All you gotta do
Say the right words and I'll be coming through
Hold you in my arms and take you right away
Now she's on her way to another land
We never understood why she gave her hand
She shouldn't oughta promise because it's just pretend
I know she doesn't mean it and she'll leave again

'Love is for others, but me it destroys'
She ran up the stairs
Stood upon the vanity chair
Tied her lamé belt around the chandalier
And went out kicking at the perfumed air
Oh well.
For a while I was embarrassed about that. Now it's Ubercool. Because it's super pop music.

R4 Westminster hour - Hunt’s black hole has, today, swelled to 60bn (up from assumptions of £50bn).
Current plan 60% spending cuts, 40% tax rises.
Basic & higher rate of income tax unchanged (assume frozen thresholds, though)
Expect rises in CGT, Dividends tax, bank tax, oil/gas windfall.
We’ll see how good the BBC sources are, on the 17th.
