I'm supposed to stop him getting out of bed but maybe I should join his cause instead. I don't think you can stop John McDonnell from being John McDonnell.

Irony Be My Shield posted:Best case scenario is that Corbyn wins and makes the country a better place for everyone. No, Labour has gained about 3% in the last few days with the highest gain being YouGov's 5% in a week. The latest poll today from ICM/Guardian has the Tories with a 14% lead.

They look to be counting staff heads right now, and seem pretty calm and collected. I would imagine things would probably be more frantic otherwise.

I bet someone did something like turn off an amplifier while the speakers were still powered up and at a high volume or something stupid like that

I work in audio and I can confirm that there are indeed dickwads who pull out audio cables without checking the sound engineer has muted the channels first. Thing is though that even on a huge PA it doesn't sound that much like a bang or explosion. And the guy who pulled the plug should at this point be known cause the SE would understand what the speakers going bang would sound like.

A family member just called me to make sure I was alright. Hopefully 200km is a safe distance Did people actually die though? They're apparently showing ambulances in other countries' news and really amping it up. That sucks if it's true. Pochoclo fucked around with this message at 00:02 on May 23, 2017 |

They're now saying that the explosion was in/near the box office, likely electrical in nature, and knocked several people off their feet. Not sure if anything before midday tomorrow is likely to be accurate though.
