Tesseraction posted:The emotive issue there is that, unfortunately, this means it's commercially beneficial to let your rapist walk free and even get to keep doing it. I wouldn't say it is commercially beneficial, just commercially neutral from a contract standpoint. And ultimately, isn't this where the criminal justice system should come in? It isn't really the place of contract law or civil court to punish rapists or encourage reporting their crimes.

The judge didn't dismiss the allegation entirely, either, she just said something along the lines of "there isn't enough here for me to pass judgement on, but if you come back with something concrete then I will", which seemed like a fair compromise. Apparently the producer involved has been accused of this before, and given that and the scummy nature of the record industry in general, I'm pretty certain she's telling the truth. My issue was solely with the assertion that accusations of sexual assault should automatically void any contracts between accuser and accused, because that would end up being a total shitshow even if in this case it would be correct.

The article had me under the impression it was the results they weren't allowed to use, it's not quite as bad as I thought but it still begs the question if we're supposed to be producing research of importance and relevance with this state funding why are they making restrictions on doing just that?

If I were a betting man I'd put some money on us voting to leave. The stay camp isn't offering much argument. Much like Cameron's dealings in Europe they're focusing on business and deregulation, and can't speak to any of the benefits of the EU for normal people, whilst the leave camp can just scream "IMMIGRANTS! BRUSSELS REGULATING BANANAS!" and gain far more traction, even if it's rubbish. Do Labour really want a voice in this fight? Surely there's plenty to gain from just standing back and watching the Tories chew their own legs off, whilst Labour focus on domestic issues. winegums fucked around with this message at 14:23 on Feb 23, 2016 |

Someone said you cant base an economy on coding apps I think they're wrong we just have to do it in a very specific way what I propose is that as us over the age of 20 dont understand technology at all we get our sixth formers to do it, it will be a good learning exercise for them and give them transferable skills to help in the job market place later. What's more is we could pay them a 'digital dividend' that can be used to deduct from tuition fees in exchange for the apps.

Guavanaut posted:Being fair, the Leave side are also focusing disproportionately on business and red tape and immigrants. It's been a campaign of the basest most boss-benefiting arguments all round. There's not a left argument to be seen either side (I refuse to dignify Galloway and his "we could enter into a union with Iran" as anything, let alone leftist). A competent Tory government in 2020 could also do some unspeakably foul things if we're out by that point. The EU is obviously a hive of neoliberal shitheads, but if you're at all a member of the precariat you should (imo) be prepared to work yourself to death campaigning for your local Labour (or SNP) candidate before you decide to vote leave.

Problem is no matter how much people bang on about the economic benefits of migrants, economic arguments are still poo poo and distant to the average person. The social/cultural arguments of "coming here, taking our jobs, suicide bombers, don't even speak english, don't integrate" stuff is far more visible. You can see people dressed differently talking in a language you don't understand, you can't see a 3% increase in GDP or whatever.

Oberleutnant posted:There's not really a left argument to be made. A competent Labour government in 2020 (a big ask on a number of levels) could potentially do some good if we're out by that point. But it involves a lot of ifs. Well there is the TTIP/NHS stuff: http://www.theguardian.com/business/2016/feb/22/ttip-deal-real-serious-risk-nhs-leading-qc The Remain response seems to be a combination of "Tories/Blairities would do TTIP anyway" and "no you see privatising the NHS is actually good". The argument that the Tories would be able to pull off a UK only TTIP equivalent in a few years doesn't seem all that believable given that TTIP negotiations have been going on for years already and it sounds like they still won't be done for years. Funnily enough the difficulty of the UK negotiating trade treaties is something the Remain side are keen to point out the rest of the time, but not when it comes to TTIP. Although this is perhaps a bit irrelevant in the context of a Tory government that wants to further privatise the NHS anyway, even without international treaties requiring them to do it.
