happyhippy posted:BBC never open up political or 'real' stories for comments. Just looked at this story (How the hell does Blair keep straight which of his faces he is using? Ugh.) and it has over 800 comments right now (it was at 737 when I first read it). Guess the BBC had some Damascene moment overnight (pun intended) and decided to stop their traditional practice of smothering debate? Or maybe your biased hyperbole overreached itself. e: 1530 - Erasmus publishes De civilitate morum puerilium (A handbook on manners for children) - this is considered "a little too 'cutting edge' but with some interesting ideas" by one M. Gove (allegedly). EmptyVessel fucked around with this message at 12:48 on Jun 15, 2014 |

IDS isn't paying me enough so I've decided to break out the guitar and do some busking. I don't know how many Cardiff goons we have here but if you see me out on the streets come say hello and we'll have a coffee together or something. I'm the long haired dude that will be singing McCarthy songs outside jobcentres until they move me along.

Saw a couple of guys playing guitars on St Mary's Street, was one of them you? I also saw a naked bike ride: 50-odd hippy types slowly cycling through the city centre shouting "Cardiff naked bike ride! Cardiff naked bike ride!" as if it wasn't perfectly obvious what was going on already.

How do those naked bike rides get away with it, legally? Edinburgh had one too over the weekend. Isn't it indecent exposure or something?

Edinburgh had one too over the weekend. Isn't it indecent exposure or something? Well yes, it is. They get away with it by 1) appearing and disappearing quickly and 2) taking advantage of safety in numbers: if they DO bump into a pair of patrolling police officers, there's no way that they can arrest 50 people all at once.

poo poo! At least my team will probably make the first round and get the chance to be knocked out by Argentina. Also my gran was Swiss so I've got as much claim to supporting them as any other team still in it. On sporting matters and national pride and naked dudes, the England vs. the All Blacks test was held in my city the other day and beforehand was the apparently traditional and completely unofficial curtain raiser in the form of a naked rugby match. The Nude Blacks vs an English invitational team that seemed to be made up of seven snowmen. The English lost 24-19, incidentally, probably as a result of being doughy at best. some plague rats fucked around with this message at 11:06 on Jun 16, 2014 |

In my experience the people most likely to get their kit off anywhere are the ones that have no business being naked at any time, even in the privacy of their own homes.

Ed Milliband is a fool for doing that Sun promotion for all the reasons people have said, but I think it's bad that there has been so little criticism of Cameron and Clegg for doing the same thing. I realise that there are special reasons to criticise Milliband here, but the fact remains that all three major party leaders have participated in a promotional campaign for the Sun. If they were all asked by Coca Cola to be photographed drinking Coke everyone would consider that completely inappropriate. Obviously, Clegg and Cameron aren't being criticised here because the media wouldn't criticise Clegg and Cameron for participating in a media-run promotional campaign, but I don't see how what they've done is different in principle from a Coke promotion. I accept that newspapers aren't just products to be promoted like cans of coke are: politicians can obviously validly talk to newspapers and undertake interviews with their journalists. But in this case it was a straightforward advertising campaign by the Sun. Would Clegg and Cameron appear in a TV advert for The Sun as well? Edit: I'm not entirely clear what the law is on this. The fact that Boris Johnson can have a column in the Telegraph suggests there's nothing legally wrong a politician being paid to write in a newspaper. So if Cameron was paid to appear in an advert for the Sun, would that be illegal? Whitefish fucked around with this message at 12:29 on Jun 16, 2014 |

I'm far more annoyed that during the closing days of a trial with several of News International's top personnel and personal friends of David Cameron on trial that all the top politicians of all the major parties have decided to pose with News International's flagship paper. The fact that that's not a top story is criminal.

I believe that in every single photo of Cameron where he's being a man of the people and drinking a pint or eating a pasty or whatever it's an amazing coincidence that any labelling on the product is always facing the camera. It's unbelievable how such a thing can consistently happen by chance.
