#north south divide

[bottlesandbarricades]

GCSE results once again showing massive disparity between the grades in the north and the south. A growing disparity.

And there are twats in this country who still want to pretend the north/south divide is a fiction made up by moaning northerners.

Leveling up my arse.

The research, undertaken by the Institute for Fiscal Studies (IFS), looked at the record of over 500,000 NHS patients in the UK, over 13 years. It highlights the stark “postcode lottery” of how people living in some parts of the country have access to lower quality healthcare.

The results found that while cardiologists treating patients in London and the south-east had the best survival rates among heart attack patients, patients being treated in the north-east and east of England had the worst.

Among 100 otherwise identical patients, an additional six patients living in the north-east and east of England would have survived for at least a year if they had instead been treated by a similar doctor in London.

Furthermore, if the effectiveness of doctors treating heart attacks in these areas of the country were just as effective as the cardiologists in London, an additional 80 people a year in each region would survive a heart attack.

being a student from The North and going to uni anywhere below northampton just means finding an endless stream of upper middle class southern wankers eager to laugh that they've "never been north of the Watford gap" like its some sort of valid personality trait. like okay cheers for confirming that you're a narrow minded bubble-dwelling fuck 🙄

The North South Divide

Where is #England's north south divide. Just above Watford Gap services, researchers reveal. #Greggs #Pret #Waitrose #Morrisons

Where does England’s north begin and its south end, a question that has provoked much controversy for several decades. Is it marked by the preference for a short a in words such as grass, glass, and bath or the preferred pronunciation of scone? Researchers have sought to add some academic rigour to the debate by looking at the relative distribution of Greggs, the first of which was opened in…

Guerre en Ukraine : ce qu'il faut retenir de la journée du vendredi 23 décembre

"Guerre en Ukraine : ce qu'il faut retenir de la journée du vendredi 23 décembre" https://www.francetvinfo.fr/monde/europe/manifestations-en-ukraine/guerre-en-ukraine-ce-qu-il-faut-retenir-de-la-journee-du-vendredi-23-decembre_5560692.html

Comment interpréter le conflit limité à l'Ukraine ?

How to understand the limited conflict to Ukraine ?

Comme la division au sein du monde russophone, au seul profit d'un extrême occident peu regardant sur les moyens d'y parvenir ?

Like division inside russophonic world, only to benefit of the United States with little regard on the means to address It ?

L'objectif, commun à la Russie et aux Etats-Unis, serait d'affaiblir durablement la capacité d'émancipation politique et économique d'une Europe débutante sur la scène internationale.

The main task for jointly United States and Russia could be to low down the economic and political emancipation of a beginning Europe on the international scene.

Et... Pour une Europe, sous leadership allemand, conséquemment de reprocher à la France un suivisme atlantiste incompatible avec cette Europe libérée de toutes entraves.

And... For Europe under German leadership, consequently, diminishes a too atlantist France not in phase with a freed Europe from all brakes.

La Russie et l'Amerique seraient d'accords pour garder une Europe non libre, soumise à leur bon vouloir...

Russia and America agreed to stay Europe without freedom, submitted to their free will...

Cette rivalité orient-occident, qui date de l'Égypte et de la Mésopotamie puis de la Grèce antique et de la Perse ancienne, puis encore de Rome et de l'Ottoman, masque mal une forte opposition nord-sud, entres riches nations et pays pauvres avides de richesses et d'accession au pouvoir, entre abolitionnistes de la vie et esclavagistes, les uns éliminent leurs adversaires irréductibles, les autres font des prisonniers, font chanter ceux qu'ils jugent propres à défendre leurs intérêts.

Tout cela a trait à la conquête et au gouvernement du monde.

This east-west rivalry, from Egypt and Mesopotamia then antic Greece and ancient persan world, then more Roma and Ottoman empire, is hidding a strong opposition between north-south, rich nations and poor ones motivated by richnesses and access to powers, between abolitionists of life and slavers, the ones eliminate their foes, the others make captives, blackmailed those they think are properly good for their own interests.

All is about conquest and government of the world.

Après Rome et Constantinople, Paris et Vienne restent les deux seules villes libres d'occident. Convoitées par les pirates de la mer ou du désert et de la steppe, les anglo-normands et les turco-mongols, du sud ou du nord, pillage de ressources plutôt que création de richesses.

l'Europe est appelée à relever le flambeau d'occident abandonné, contraint et forcé, par les Amériques. Il faut lutter, défendre et contrer l'offense qui nous est faite !

After Roma and Byzance, Paris and Vienna stay the two only free cities of western nations. Rovers of the seas, desert or steppa, the anglo-northmen and turco-mongols, from south or north, pillards of ressources rather than creators of richnesses.

Europe is called to be the flag of the western nations lost, constraint and forced, by America. We have to fight, defend and battle offences which are addressed to us !

£3.6bn was cut from Northern local authority budgets between 2010-2018. Any 'pledge' to reduce regional inequality which does not reverse these cuts to Northern budgets is meaningless hot air.

the fact that oliver would be considered upper-middle class in the north (purely bc of the yearly holidays) but can't even make a dent into the upper classes in the south is...

hi! so im super curious about this post and what you mean by blood curse? could you talk more about it? it’s a very interesting take and I want to hear more of what you think

hmm yeah! it's kind of more of a figure of speech than anything lol— i don't think there's like, a literal magical Blood Curse physically destroying anything— but it's more of a thematic curse. there's something to be said about how the red wedding is kind of the Definitional Asoiaf Moment right. asos is a book very much concerned with breaking taboos and natural laws-- breaking of guest right at the red wedding and at craster's, the kingslaying of robb and joffrey, tyrion's kinslaying of his father, bran's possession of hodor (maybe more that i'm forgetting). but the red wedding is like. The moment. it's such a moment, in fact, that it ripples backwards in time through asoiaf's prismatic dreamscape. theon sees the red wedding months before it happens in his dreams, dany sees it at the house of the undying, jon and bran (iirc?) both see it in their dreams as/after it happens. it's such a genuinely heinous act against nature it bleeds through time. bleeds through the book itself!

tywin orchestrates it to win the war "cheaply" but the rent comes due in affc, a book about examining the consequences of a world whose enforced codes and ideals (the chivalric paradigm itself!) are so deeply unnatural, so contradictory and dissonant that they are destined for collapse. where asos is about the breaching of natural law, affc is about unnatural law being laid bare as a result (why affc feels more thematically concerned with gender, for example). tywin is not a figure of perfection but just a rotting body. more rotten than usual. they keep telling me that house lannister won this war! all those honour codes and norms and stories are only hiding deeply entrenched violences (eg. if gender norms are so natural why must they be enforced through violence?). beneath the golden sheen of chivalry is just a nightmare of blood. the red wedding is so foul an act that it can't be covered up in shrouds like rhaegar's children were. the emperor has no clothes now! you cannot look away from it, look without seeing, or go away inside forever. the curse is blood begetting blood, like lady stoneheart's wraith, who can think of nothing but feeding on death. it's something that begs to be witnessed so powerfully that it rips through the psychic realm. yeah alright i read this over and it makes no sense and im talking about like four completely different things ah well Siri send post

#i think there's a lot of talk about how bc of the red wedding the lannisters actually 'lost' and the starks actually 'won' #because no one will fight for tywin's memory but the northmen will fight for ned's. bathing in bolton blood etc #and like Yeah but i also think it's bigger than that #asoiaf #cause like i dont think it's necessarily a north v south divide. The North Remembers is a war cry #it's not like.. aspirational. northern paradigm is just as built on blood (and barrows!) #it's not like the north doesnt Also have gender roles ukno. it's not black and white it's more complex than i can get at #ned's still indoctrinating his sons into ritualistic violences etc etc #i'd be interested in diving in a bit more into the difference between 'sacred' 'natural' laws like guest right and kinslaying #and like. 'unnatural' 'chivalric' laws #Anyway wow this is just like the nibelungenlied.

Ah, Network North apparently means North London. Quelle surprise, the North is last in the queue even for its own funding.

i wish younger viet-ams educated themself and stopped trying to create such a divide between us and the mainland. not to dismiss our parents and grandparents struggles from after the war but the rvn flags always leave a bad taste in my mouth with how associated it is with the alt-right.

#personal #vent #north and south divide is so dumb #when the war is past us #it’s kinda frustrating with how much i’ve read into history #and the fact i’d probably get accused of being a commie by my own community #i think most ppl i know are chill and dont freak out abt 🇻🇳 this flag #we still had a bad reputation for being right leaning esp older gen
