LemonDrizzle posted:tory boys doing tory thangs There was a debate in a delegated legislation committee. That's how delegated legislation works. There is so much wilful density about what does and doesn't constitute an abuse of procedure on both sides of everything at the moment. Fucks sake. Edit: didn't realise the thread had moved on that much

jabby posted:How was he trying to wreck their protest though? If he is telling the truth about his sign it sounds like he was trying to show solidarity. Going to an anti-EDL demo in Tower Hamlets with a placard saying "No to the EDL and far-right Islamists; oppose all hate" is like going to Reclaim the Night and saying "No to rape and misandry: oppose all sexism". Tactless at best, derailing at worst.

EDL members were falling over themselves to praise Anders Breivik when he massacred children in the name of the white race.

Not really, because Muslims and LGBT are both minority groups deserving of support and able to show solidarity to one another. You obviously can't say the same for feminists and 'men's rights advocates'.

I don't get giving a miniscule tax cut to the very richest. What rich person is going to give a quarter of a poo poo about 250 pounds yearly? Scrooge McDuck might, but real (very rich) people wouldn't even notice. I suppose it's the principle. In other budget-related news, by god I cannot wait for the massive housing crash the UK will inevitably experience at some point.

And the cut in corporation tax. Which is going to balance the budget by streamlining the flow of profits to the capital class. Meanwhile disability cuts will keep money out of the hands of people that didn't work for it.

'Misandry' is a word that's thrown around to pretend that men face the same (or worse!!) systemic prejudice and abuse in society that women do. It's almost exclusively used in a 'we're all equal now so men are the real victims' or 'evil feminists hate men' senses, as a way of undermining any criticism or work that feminism is doing - including the aspects that directly help men, like the things you're talking about. So I really wouldn't be surprised if people with MISANDRY!!! signs get told to do one

I mean just in general, the idea that people who are rich worked to earn it, or someone they're related to worked to earn it and that's just as good, is so ingrained.
