I got five francs on the weekend to do stuff with (which turned into ten when I started middle school), and 2 francs a day to buy a croissant from the bakery across my school at the break. Of course I usually saved the croissant money to go buy bionicles with on the weekend. Bionicles were cool af.

Of course it's worth pointing out that Labour was polling at or above the 1997 victory figures before Tony Blair became leader. Then 1997 had the lowest turnout since 1945. Followed by a staggering 10 point drop in turnout in 2001. What a loving inspirational man.

I've no idea why he got involved, I think it was just an excuse to hang out with his friends. But there's something reassuring about the idea that at least some of the people in the ROC were totally chill stoners. jabby posted:Saying Corbyn has damaged the left is a bit extreme considering prior to his leadership the left consisted entirely of him, John McDonnell, and the Green party. It was the left's first chance at the leadership of a major party since Michael Foot, which was before I was born. And they dropped the ball. They have done a piss poor job of standing out, apart from on Trident. And that's an unpopular policy. It could quite easily be another 30 years until we get another sniff. That's damaging.

Lord of the Llamas posted:I didn't claim the linear interpolation between the points meant anything and nobody was having a conversation about that. Drawing lines between data points is normal and I'm sorry I obviously confused you. I'd like to point out that I adhered to the practice of marking the discrete data points with squares to make it clear that it wasn't continuous data. Fair enough, I think the black arrow being placed where it was may have confused me.  As you correctly say, the line it's pointing to means nothing.

It is disgustingly irresponsible of Corbyn that he hasn't resigned today after he lead his party to humiliating defeat in that by-election.

I would've hoped that the graph title would've given away that a certain amount of the presentation is supposed to be tongue-in-cheek. Pissflaps posted:A consequence of Corbyn's decisions and actions was a disastrous by-election result in Copeland last night. It's understandable given that you're not a member of a political party and have no loving clue about the amount of hard work and sheer number of different people that goes into every level of politics that you'd rather just put all the blame and credit on certain individuals of national prominence because you're lazy. I'm really sorry the world is too complex for you to understand Pissflaps, I really am.

No, that's failing to capitalise on an opportunity. If Corbyn doesn't achieve anything then the Left will go back to the position it was in before his leadership, which is to say absolutely nowhere. You're acting like his election was the culmination of a carefully planned assault on capitalism rather than one of the few remaining left-wing Labour MPs getting thrust into the limelight against all expectation.
