Baron Corbyn posted:the Labour moderates would be detecting to Macron in droves if they were French. Like I can understand someone like Umunna or Kendall agitating under Corbyn because they have very different politics, but Hamon and Melenchon both seem to be actual leftists and are clearly better options than anyone else in the west is getting. It's just sad they're splitting each other's vote when France could give the rest of us some hope. Guavanaut posted:Is that the new name for la Manche?

Anyone who thinks that by now the posting of council by-elections in this is anything but some kind of meta-trolling really is just showing the utter contempt and lack of respect they have for the other posters in this thread if they think they really are that stupid to take them as some kind of super important result. Let's all discuss the Stoke Sentinal's Google survey results instead. http://www.stokesentinel.co.uk/survey-predicts-tight-result-in-stoke-on-trent-central-by-election/story-30149927-detail/story.html 70% Turnout predicted by that poll  (lol)

My guess is its going to be around 25% turnout.

Going back to the subject of Russian interference in British election, a swarm of Twitter bots usually used to pump out Russian propaganda have become rabidly anti-UKIP and pro-Corbyn for some reason.

That Ben Bradshaw reckoned that Russia interfered in the Brexit elections with 'hacking'. The clearer involvement is that Farage is a paid SHILL of RUSSIA's MOUTHPIECE - Russia Today. Nigel Farage's near monthly appearances on state-owned Russia Today have come under scrutiny after his expression of admiration for Vladimir Putin this week. In one of his 17 appearances on the channel seen by the Guardian and transmitted since December 2010, he claims Europe is governed not by elected democracies but instead "by the worst people we have seen in Europe since 1945". The Ukip leader has appeared so frequently that he is cited in literature for the TV station Russia Today as one of their special and "endlessly quotable" British guests. "He has been known far longer to the RT audience than most of the British electorate," Russia Today claims. This was back in 2014 https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2014/mar/31/nigel-farage-relationship-russian-media-scrutiny Brexit works well for Russia as it weakens the EU and weakens the UK dramatically re: foreign policy clout.

The revolution probably was backed by the US, a hallmark of a US backed revolution is that it is one of those 'colour' ones. To think they're not involved in things like this is hopelessly naive.

Interfering in foreign politics for their own gain is what they do. I think the Russian suggestion the Americans are responsible for removing Yanukovych ignores the other reasons it happened just like suggesting the Russians got Trump elected does.

Relatively speaking Labour do better against UKIP with ABC1s than they do C2DEs I think.

Pissflaps posted:Is that the 'revolution' when Russia recently invaded parts of Ukraine, or some other one? As others have said, the original Kiev unrest that deposed Yanukovich. The annexation of the Crimea was not a revolution, and the Donetsk/Luhansk secession movements are more civil war than revolutionary war. Mind you, while Russia were definitely breaching international law with their bullshitly-denied involvement, I would hesitate to call it an invasion in the case of the D/L. Certainly the case for Crimea, though. JFairfax posted:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1QAXmf5_EOs Being fair to Obama here, he was probably referring to the EU-brokered peace deal. What is suspicious is the ambassadorial call made during the same time period.

Not to bang a drum about it but tomorrows storm is going to be a bad one. The midday weather model runs are showing it having almost 90 mph gusts over large sections of the UK. If anything the existing met warning areas will be increased, and if it carries on like this I bet the met issues a red warning for a few spots. This could be a historic storm. If you have any trees / anything susceptible to wind check it tonight, especially if you are in the North West, Midlands or East Anglia.

But I Wiki'd it & they told me she'd retired from the police to join the Foreign Office, hopefully kept well away from South Americans. Apparently my joke came true. ukle posted:Not to bang a drum about it but tomorrows storm is going to be a bad one. Hope the weather hangs around Belgium at the weekend, the first cobbled classic cycling race is on & those are always fun with horrible weather. Mind you, the winds could die down a little from 90mph gusts, don't want it being cancelled.
