Got my Postal Vote in and I've noticed that the Scottish Labour candidate is based in Glasgow and the Scottish Lib Dem candidate is based in Edinburgh. They couldn't even bother to field candidates in Kilmarnock and Loudoun and expect to get somewhere?

ThomasPaine posted:Diane Abbot is really just playing into a frustrating trend amongst the supposed 'left'. I dare say that when 'responsibility' and the stated or unstated need for 'restitution' are 'laid at the feet' of a White person- or at least a White person who doesn't earn much more than the median salary, the question in the White person's mind asks what this would mean for their job, house, ability to support their family, and mundane material considerations like this- it is a kind of open ended question with an uncertain answer that people are likely to reflexively ignore or react negatively to.

Race-making has historically served two purposes: rationalising the imperial project and undercutting class solidarity. I think the main problem with the contemporary discourse around race is that it comes in the wake of the collapse of political blackness and as such it serves the latter purpose far more than it strengthens bonds of solidarity between workers. However, there's an alarming tendency to want to throw the baby out with the bathwater on the part of modern white leftists, when really what needs to be done is we need to reclaim the discourse of identity politics for the left by reinjecting it with class politics and a materialist understanding of race, gender and sexuality.

Lord_Adonis posted:It looks increasingly like anyone who is hell-bent on maintaining their rights as a citizen of the EU is going to have to think about emigrating to one of the EU 27, whether one is a Tory, Labour or Lib Dem voter. If, like me you lack the funds to emigrate in the near future, then I guess it sucks to be us. I don't lack the funds. I just can't speak a foreign language which would make getting a basic job hard and my degree isn't stem so I doubt I could get anything career based either. I would just be moving to a place where I don't know anyone and adding a language barrier. What is even the standard method of emigrating? Find a job first then move, or move and then look for a job?

That was certainly my experience in Norway. (I found the job first) I agree it depends what jobs you have skills for though.

Not british, but as someone who worked in the uk ,germany and Spain,the Later if you are really proficient in the native language,if not the former.you might try companies that run Call centers they usually hire english speakers to work abroad,though again, knowing extra languages is a big Plus.try looking up companies like teleperformance. Otherwise find a country with a big expat community and try to find a job in retail in those enclaves.

In finance, I believe Germany is English in the workplace, but you'll need to learn it ASAP to get involved socially with anything.

I'm having to think about this right now as my gf wants me to move to Barcelona with her in the autumn, and on the one hand it would be amazing, but on the other hand the only Spanish I know is how to tell her I love her.

Also, another one here for "Would emigrate somewhere else, if I had any money at all". I've got family in Canada who are apparently doing pretty well, but I couldn't even afford a flight out there, let alone living there.

ScotLab are (understandably) banking on people not realizing ScotLab don't support Corbyn. Anecdotal evidence, but I've spoke to a few people who have swung from SNP to Labour because they like Corbyn, not realizing that Kezia's Krew would stick the knife in as soon as they possibly could.

Both Tory and Labour's entire campaign are the unionist vote, surely a split of the unionist vote ends up helping the SNP.

If you dont have any kids or sick relatives or anything its amazing and something that every young person should do because its awesome to discover new places and meet new people even if for 3/4 years.its also looks really good in a cv. I actually lived in Barcelona and its an amazing city.Spanish is probably the easiest of the romance languages to pick up and if memory serves me barcelona has a huge uk expat community.just give up on ever learning catalan though.

This is why as much I was like to vote Labour. I can't really take the risk of spliting the vote where the Tories can come in. Plus it dosen't help that the Scottish Labour candidate is nowhere near our constituency.
