Also she'd be twenty years older and let's face it half of the reason for all the adulation is she died comparatively young and pretty. 56 year old Diana, married to a Muslim, probably fairly openspokenly liberal (she held hands with an AIDS patient in 1987, look at what rightwing press coverage of AIDS looked like back then), probably pro-Remain - they'd be doing their best to destroy her.

It demonstrates pretty well that while Labour have done badly in the last 8 months, UKIP has done much worse and the Tories seem to have taken the majority of their poll boost from them. Whichever way you slice it owning Brexit and basically becoming UKIP has worked out very nicely for them.

It's also worth asking ourselves why it is that the narrative is that UKIP (as always) are about to have a SURPRISE VICTORY (at Labour's expense of course) in the upcoming by-elections (c.f. Oldham in 2015) despite not making any progress in the polls, and why the Lib Dems are the REAL OPPOSITION despite still being 12 points below their 2010 performance, but Labour who are 3-4% down are IN CATASTROPHIC MELTDOWN!

Is there a large-scale response for the retraction of the dubs amendment? I mean they just sentenced a bunch of children to death because they can't be arsed. it'd be totally appropriate to declare damnatio memoriae on the last ten years of british history at this point

It weirds me out a bit knowing that Claudia Christian from Babylon 5 had a small but fairly important role in the death of Diana.

Almost half of Labour's voters do not want the party to try and block Brexit, a new poll for The Independent has found. Though two-thirds of Labour supporters voted to Remain, the new ComRes study found that this does not necessarily translate into wanting to stop Article 50 being triggered. 48 per cent of the party’s voters now say the Opposition shouldn’t try and overturn the referendum result. The finding is likely to take some pressure off Jeremy Corbyn, who has come in for criticism from some supporters for whipping his MPs not to block Article 50. Mr Corbyn suffered several frontbench resignations over the Article 50 vote, which took place at the end of an all-hours debate about Brexit which ran late into the night for several days last week. The most high-profile resignation was Clive Lewis, the shadow business secretary. Multiple whips also voted Remain, though frontbenchers outside the shadow cabinet have been let off with a written warning and will not be forced to resign. The public at large also broadly agree with Labour’s stance of not standing in the way of leaving the EU – with 64 per cent saying the party should not try to obstruct the process. http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/labour-voters-brexit-poll-support-article-50-a7575406.html

He pretty much gave that impression before the vote anyway, it seemed more about having a strong official stance than actually forcing every MP to vote for it

He's only letting people who were outside the shadow cabinet off with the written warning, because they weren't part of the decision making process and therefore not bound by collective responsibility. It sounds logical to me, but I don't know whether this is something normal (i.e. only shadow cabinet members usually get the boot) being spun as a Corbyn weakness, or whether everyone with a position on the opposition benches usually gets booted for breaking the whip, regardless of whether they're in the shadow cabinet or not.

I'm assuming it's convention else he'd have been kicked off the benches a ridiculous number of times, but I'm not sure. The opposite, on reflection, seems a logistical nightmare. I'm expecting clive lewis to get the symbolic defence role this year anyway

Edit: ^^ Sorry, my post wasn't completely clear. When I said 'position on the opposition benches' I meant whips and junior shadow ministers who don't attend the shadow cabinet, but still have some position beyond that of just a backbencher.JFairfax posted:Almost half of Labour's voters do not want the party to try and block Brexit, a new poll for The Independent has found. Quoting in full because I think the public's broader wish that Article 50 not be blocked is not always taken on board when criticising Corbyn on this issue. One other stat in the article is that only 39% of Labour voters want to block Article 50. So if only 39% of Labour voters want to block Article 50, and <36% of the public at large (less whatever percentage of "don't knows") want Labour to block it, it looks to me like he's chosen the best of a series of bad options in terms of electability. Edit: vv Thanks! I guess he'd struggle to refill the positions if he booted them all at this point anyway. Prince John fucked around with this message at 00:32 on Feb 12, 2017 |

He was very romantic, he immediately sent me flowers and pursued me. We dated for a while but then it became clear to me that it wasn’t my sort of lifestyle. It was a bit over the top with the bodyguards. I was very Western, I was making my own money and his father was very Egyptian. The women stayed in the kitchen when they would eat. Dodi was lovely, but I grew bored, I was young. We became friends and every time I went back to Europe I’d stay with him. Looks like Shatner also made a pass at her. Didn't realise she had struggled so much with drugs and alcohol though.

Prince Phillip ordered Diana's death because she was pregnant with Dodi's baby which meant that there would one day be a brown Muslim as the sibling of the King. I think I actually believe that conspiracy theory. Also someone was telling me last night that the reason Federer has two sets of twins is that his wife got pregnant through IVF because he's secretly gay and lives in Switzerland with his male lover. Also the same reason Beyoncé is having twins but not because Jay-Z is gay but because he has AIDS and gave it to her and that's why Solange slapped him in that lift.
