>"States' rights, English liberties, muh freedom"

a power grab plain and simple

I think it'll be really neat to have the nation of England existing on this earth again in my lifetime.

what did the UK mean by this?

Don't derail please

interestingly, 'states rights' in the US is a euphemism for discriminating against blacks.

it isn't bait. It's true. Politicians will use the idea of states rights to oppress blacks. It was more common during the 1970s, but there are politicians that use it today.

>>76485138
no you don't understand. "states rights" means something totally different in US politics. It was a tool to suppress voting rights and other economic activities for blacks in the american south. It's a loaded term for us.

I'm pretty sure you're baiting but the sad part is some people actually think this.

>>76485260
I'm not baiting. Read about the 'southern strategy'. Are you unaware of your own history? Do you even know who you are?

>You start out in 1954 by saying, “Nigger, nigger, nigger.” By 1968 you can’t say “nigger”—that hurts you, backfires. So you say stuff like, uh, forced busing, states’ rights, and all that stuff, and you’re getting so abstract. Now, you’re talking about cutting taxes, and all these things you’re talking about are totally economic things and a byproduct of them is, blacks get hurt worse than whites.… “We want to cut this,” is much more abstract than even the busing thing, uh, and a hell of a lot more abstract than “Nigger, nigger.”

The architect of it actually admitted its true purpose. I don't see how you can deny it.

good bait tyrone.

I like how this sort of stuff generates so much butthurt despite there being evidence showing that discussion of state rights often invokes policies which discriminates against minority groups. Not all the time but there is correlation.

>>76484860
what?

nice unequivocal evidence you've provided there Satan.

You're welcome. Also when the Supreme Court invalidated part of the Voting Right Act, it basically gave states more leeway in implementing laws which made it more difficult for certain communities, including minority ones, by requiring them to show more documentation and shortening the time between registration and the day of the election, among other things.

states rights has been a meme since 1864 you dumbass

With Thatcher at least there was an economy to fuck up at all.

>>76486881
All she did was fuck things up further by centralising money into London.

Without Thatcher the Falklands would've been Malvinas now.
