mehall posted:Do the foreign nationals hurt in the attack at the weekend need to pay for their care? I hope as a nation there's some method to waive costs from attacks like this. Most foreign nationals are covered by various agreements with their governments to pay for care, like EHIC. People stealing all the paracetamol while they're treated on holiday is profoundly rare. 110 is how old Joseph was when he died, and also the emergency number in Germany. spectralent fucked around with this message at 15:18 on Jun 5, 2017 |

you make a reasonable enough point but until warhawks, anti-keynesians and liberals come up with a shred of crediblity it'd probably be wiser to purge them from the party and, in some cases, the planet

Saying he wouldn't even vote in a Corbyn government means that he's functionally the same as a Tory MP for anyone on the left.

Corbyn's whole schtick was not following the whip and then boring them senseless for hours when they asked why, so they stopped bothering. you've really taken a turn since the election

john woodcock refusing to vote for manifesto pledges is not even remotely comparable to Corbyn voting against a war because it would cause terrorism (which it did)

my inclination is that politicians as a career type blather a lot, and british politicians in the particular like to imagine themselves at the helm of a grand strategy that is coherent and foresighted and certainly not utterly dependent on uncontrollable factors and dumb luck the general of weight of opinion in UKMT is that this standard is insufficiently charitable to the jam man from islington. who has Principles and Honesty. well okay, whatever, it's your call. but to sincerely believe all the claims of an actual, no-exaggeration SPAD saying exactly what one would calculate would be said to win a marginal constituency that maintains nuclear submarines seems to demand a positively wilful level of gullibility

I don't really speak for UKMT but I'd wager the reaction to Woodcock is definitely because it's Woodcock I care less about jeremy corbyn being honest than I do seeing an economically literate manifesto. Job done. I still don't think there's an appropriate replacement for him, but he's surpassed any initial expectations I had. If he wins, great. If he doesn't, Labour are left wing now. Turned out quicker than most people had hoped, too. The tories have been left a shambles, battered by an old jam man, and they have absolutely nothing in the tank. If they win, they get to own Brexit.

I think I'll be waiting to see the final seat count before concluding that the Tories have been battered.

Pushing the shoot to kill policy thing is a super cynical play by the tories, I hope that the combination of it being actually completely unrelated to this terror attack and using a misleadingly edited interview will backfire, but 'corbyn wouldn't have let are boys shoot the terrorists' is easier to assert than 'shoot to kill is a policy we do not actually have that has nothing to do with armed response to an active threat' is to explain.

so, no, it isn't illegal. IANAL, but this guide page seems straightforward. I am reluctant to wring my hands much over that fact - it were meaningfully illegal, establishment organisations would be the ones mainly deterred by institutional penalties, and it'd be the edgy radicals getting hammered by such a code pretty much all the time. and then we would be continually told that such rules work in the only interests of Capital and their servile, thoroughly co-opted labour aristocracy. Or don't you remember the 80s?

Every BBC outlet has been saying all day that a) shoot to kill is current policy, b) it is what was used on Saturday night, and c) Corbyn opposes it. The election is over.
