Prince John posted:Yeah, I was going to chip in on this too. I've had some exposure to various parts of SSA and Eastern Africa both through work and through charities and my perception is that regarding homosexuality as a sin is pretty normalised in those regions. Interpretations of Christianity are so much more literal, un-critical and so much more fervently held by the general population compared to the UK that I think it would be hard to avoid accidentally platform sharing with someone who believed this. Yeah, its a very difficult line to tread: attempts to influence opinion, or even suggest that gays shouldn't be executed (even making the case indirectly, on the grounds that criminalisation has helped HIV/AIDS spread) generally lead to perceptions/accusations of imperialism. I've been in meetings with officials who claim it is a Western 'disease' that doesn't exist in Africa and that 'you should stop going on about it'. Ironically, there is a case to be made that the homophobic attitudes prevalent in these societies is itself a product of imperialism. Most of the laws in place against sodomy, etc, date from the colonial era (such prohibitions were historically rare in pre-colonial African societies), and many of the negative attitudes towards non-heterosexual relationships simply didn't exist prior to the penetration of Christian missionaries (Islamic regions excepted, of course). Just one more thing to add to the negative legacy of the British Empire.

Is anyone hoping Leadsom might win because she will be an ineffectual PM who backbenchers will constantly rebel against whereas May will rule with an iron fist that will make Thatcher look like a soft liberal?

ThomasPaine posted:There's something interesting about the ability to be a staunch Corbyn supporter but also a huge xenophobe. Working out how people get to that position would be very valuable for the left in general. I think this is the position held by a lot of old + white + working class people. Certainly something I can imagine my grandparents saying.

So there's a chance the next General Election will be contested between two parties whose leaders were elected by popular vote over the wishes of their own MPs. Because British politics just wasn't loving strange enough to start with.

Splitters gave up, Tony Blair was sent to the phantom zone, newspapers were abolished, the Tory frontrunners were all struck by lightning simultaneously and labour started campaigning for full communism now. This was all bad for Jeremy Corbyn. I'm lying except for the first and last bits.

Shoved £50 on Leadsom winning, though it isn't even a consolation prize, as both candidates are terrible.

everything is going to be hosed anyway so it doesn't really matter which is in charge from a not loving everything perspective, I think Teresa may will be a lot more likely to pull off another "tough decisions" sort of "everything is going to poo poo but it's not my fault" type excuse where as leadsom will be pure train wreck also she was team brexit so there's less room for the morons who voted leave to claim they didn't get what they voted for plus dark comedy value team Andrea 4 lyfe

Neil Kinnock being hard left is certainly a unique opinion. EDIT: while I'm being pedantic I could add that David Cameron is neither female nor far right. GEORGE W BUSHI fucked around with this message at 18:05 on Jul 7, 2016 |
