jabby posted:That does look very likely, although I'm not sure what it has to do with me thinking partisanship inherently ruins the utility of certain polling questions. It was more about how you try to excuse every gently caress up that the Labour front bench makes, like clockwork. I dunno, the election just isn't very interesting to me, you're right. It's more of the same, further proof that the British public are too poorly informed to be trusted with electing representatives in their best interests, and too complacent & disengaged to put the work in themselves (see Pissflaps regular proclamations that asking more of him than to put an X in a box come election time for one example). Better to just enjoy the horrifically dumb poo poo like that pillock cutting up his Labour membership because the NEC are going to investigate if a dodgy racist Twitter account belongs to a candidate or not safe in the knowledge that none of this actually matters. Which sounds more defeatist than I actually am, I firmly believe that a better world is possible, just not in the foreseeable future and certainly it won't come through the ballot box. You're not changing attitudes without improving education, encourage and improve skills like the ability to critically absorb and judge the worth of sources, and strengthen class consciousness.

Forkboy mate, you seem a bit depressed. Have you considered letting the light of Jeremy Corbyn, who is good and strong and your friend, into your heart ?

Any idea how the Lib Dems would send election material addressed in my name? Just picking my name off the electoral roll?

Yeah if only he'd have got a much worse coffee at roughly the same price from a local greasy spoon like a proper member of the working class, right? loving tory pricks.

You can get as good as if not better coffee at everywhere that isn't costa or starbucks. And probably cheaper.

forkboy84 posted:It was more about how you try to excuse every gently caress up that the Labour front bench makes, like clockwork. Well, a) I quite like most of the Labour front bench and it annoys me to see the decent politicians get attacked for poo poo that Doesn't Actually Matter, and b) in the post you quoted I was making a general comment about political polls that wasn't specific to Labour or the front bench. And yes you do seem pretty down. Remember that 'hope is a lie' is just a meme, not an actual healthy philosophy.

Even the hipsteriest coffee places ive been to price their coffee within 50p of their local starbucks. And they generally have much better coffee, if only for the fact they either roast it inhouse or close by. (Thougj to be fair if all you want is a cup of caffeine and black drip you cant beat maccys or bucks for value)

I continue to maintain that starbucks and costa serve invariably minging coffee and you can get equivalently minging coffee anywhere in the country. Or make your own with some powder and a kettle. Except why would you when you can have beef tea instead.

The Guardian posted:Theresa May was greeted by dozens of protesters shouting “Tory scum” as she visited a social club on a housing estate in Brislington, in Bristol. She gave a speech to Conservative activists in the club with the curtains shut and police guarding the entrance, while curious local residents gathered outside - some with makeshift anti-Tory signs. I bet most reports don't mention the protestors, the police guard, or the fact that the audience were just activists.
