TACD posted:When this election was called the Tories were going to walk away with a historic majority. If they only come away with small gains it'll be a massive embarrassment. If they lose seats it'll be an enormous victory for Labour and a vindication of Corbyn as leader. No. A Labour government would be an enormous victory and a vindication of Corbyn as leader.

It was always more important for Corbyn not to gently caress up than to set the stage on fire. The biggest story is still May being a coward. Considering Labour could have started to lose momentum a bit in the past few days this was absolutely just what we needed to keep the pressure up.

And, having bought them, straight away you start loving people through owning it, whereas before everyone could land there and be fine. Also much like real life you make a lot of money institutionalizing crime by making people go bankrupt after they leave jail.

Worth pointing out for those few who don't know that Monopoly was invented by a woman (a teacher iirc) specifically to illustrate how hosed up capitalism is. She was swindled by the game company and never paid properly for her work, which is darkly funny and also sickening.

Did May give a reason for no-showing? Her earlier snipe against Corbyn made it sound like she was planning to sit in a dark room for an hour to calculate the many facets of brexit like a loving current day mentat, but I somehow doubt that's it.

Even if nobody changes their mind due to the debate Corbyn doing it meant that Labour were able to control the media narrative of the day yet again and prevent the news leading with whatever the Tories wanted to talk about (Labour's secret plan to import 50 billions muslims or whatever it was in the papers today).

Regardless of what was said at the debate people are going to remember for a long time that Theresa May didn't show up and that she sent a lackey in her stead.

Nuttall got dunked on by everyone, though I'm afraid his constant derailing distracted from everyone laying into the Tories as hard as they should have. Farron almost came off as likable (for a Neoliberal Homophobic Shitweasel). Corbyn, Greens and SNP had the best showing. Tories, UKIP and Plaid were shambles.

Also, it's only half of the game, which is why it's so loving awful to play. There's supposed to be a second stage where owning property and money is disadvantageous and the tension is surviving the capitalist stage without snowballing so much you lose in the second (which is religiously themed, iirc?) Monopoly games take forever despite often being "finished" very early after a player gets an insurmountable lead for this reason. They didn't just steal it, they did so in a way that both ruined the intention and the gameplay.

Nuttall got a massive round of applause for pointing out the islamic elephant in the room. I disagree with him about it entirely but the current liberal rhetoric on islamic extremists obviously isn't doing the job.
