Yes, FT also made the point that it the shape Brexit will take will depend much less on May OR Corbyn than it does on the rest of the EU. Which is true, and makes Labour's focus on things that are in the UK's control seem like the right way to go about campaigning.

Davidson's best argument when quizzed about Tory policy in the manifesto is to say it's a devolved matter, so the Tory policy doesn't matter for Scotland. To repeat: The best argument Ruth has for voting Tory is that the Tory policies won't affect Scotland.

Tesseraction posted:Sadly, the Indie is no longer in print so only people who already have decent sources of information will see it. That's true of the paper, but the polling data itself is very encouraging considering the 'outrage' from other political parties when Corbyn made that point. Even 68% of Tory voters agree with him.

The audience seems to filled with the "I don't vote, cause you're all the same, so just get together and stop arguing!" type, but this format is by far my favourite of this election.

Why yes as these terrorism orders would be used against suspected terrorists, who may not have committed any crime or those who they would never be able to get a conviction this means that you would have people who never received a trial or even been accused directly of any crime going to prison.

OwlFancier posted:How does house arrest work if you default on your rent? The Imperial War Museum had a exhibition on modern state interrogation when I was there last, one of which was a piece where the reporter talked to someone under a control order about their life. You were provided a house for free, along with a huge list of all the things you were not allowed to do. The person being held started a journal, but gave up after a couple of weeks since he found that he was just writing exactly the same set of activities every single day, and didn't see the point in continuing.

Depends on the reason. For control orders no, because of ~internet radicalization~ or whatever. On the other hand, none of the rest of us will be getting it either if May has her way.

The DPRK posted:Do we have a place for facebookfriends.txt? Got some loving horrendous passages to add including this gem: quote:the point of the matter is that too many Burkha cladded fucks are in this country blowing people up and killing innocent children. Regardless of race, colour or creed, it needs to stop. If people are remotely involved with 'terrorists' or have terrorist links they should be arrested, strung up, tortured and publicly loving hanged to send a message to the rest of the vile, mindless, brainwashed fucks that we will take it no more. War on terrorism? Bollocks. Flatten the ground they preach on and remove the fucks from society. War may be unavoidable which is a shame but at the end of the day, why should our children and the next generation have to live in fear that they could be run down, stabbed or bombed when they walk to the shop or go to a concert? It's horrific to think that in this day and age there are mindless twats that claim to do it in the name of religion.

For anyone still wondering why the Tories keep campaigning in safe Labour seats, the front page of the FT tomorrow has 'May Targets Opposition Heartlands', and a bunch of media outlets today have been speculating about how 'confident' the Tories are and how they 'must know something we don't'. When your events consist entirely of invited activists in an old warehouse, you might as well take advantage of the free show of confidence by holding them somewhere you have no hope of winning.

Interesting lack of Tory campaign material for me. Sure it's a very safe labour seat (once the safest) but runaway gentrification and a pisspoor local MP, combined with tolerable Tory councillors, should mean it's worth at least taking a swing, but they just don't seem to care.

May was in Slough today, which has voted roughly 45%-50% for Labour and 30%-35% Tory since 1997, and the majority in 2015 was 7,400. However, the incumbent MP is stepping down so maybe they can play on Slough voting Leave to try and wrest the seat back but history shows something different. Eton and Slough was a Labour seat from it's creation in 1950 except for one term, went Tory when Eton was kicked into what is now May's constituency but the majority dwindled each election until 1992 when the Tories held it by 514 votes. Slough is in no way a marginal, that's always had a history of leaning predominantly Labour

If I were in full-on Hope Is Not A Lie mode, which I've been trying very hard to avoid, I'd say that May's bold focus on Labour safe seats feels quite a lot like Hillary's focus on Republican strongholds over Michigan and Wisconsin. And they might be for the same reason - not that her campaign team thinks the marginals are in the bag, but that they've decided she's so widely hated that showing her face there will hurt rather than help. Maybe this time the world's least competent campaign can help elect a nice jam man rather than a world-destroying monster?

Irony Be My Shield posted:The Conservative campaign has been very well run so far so I'm sure they're making the right decision in doing that. It's also interesting to note that Boris Johnson's all-out attack on Corbyn today was apparently meant to be the front page grabbing 'knockout blow' in the lengthy campaign to verbally assassinate him. And thanks to current events, it disappeared into the news cycle with barely a ripple.
