NikkolasKing posted:Saw this earlier but I just want to say that I feel sorry for Corbyn. I mea, I'm sure he's justifiably proud and happy now, but how must he have felt before this? That one talk show lady basically said "EVERYONE HATES YOU." I'm sure he's used to to BS from right wingers and even Centrists but that's politics. These other media personalities with "polls" constantly saying not just politicians, but every citizen in the country thinks he's a piece of poo poo? There was an article a while ago about a party meeting in which various PLP members took turns making GBS threads on him and I'll never forget a quote about their goal being "breaking him as a man". If he could survive that, I think some idiots on the TV aren't a big deal.

I woke up and read up till 8 pages ago to the lad in the chat : yeah, vallies are hard to get on the national health, but you forget we live in a country with a two teir health service, my man just goes to his private doc and says "works been making me grip my steering wheel too hard and my wrists are getting hosed, give me vallies" (thats a lie, he just goes in and says give me vallies). I build computers, he works a lot, I'd prefer to accept non cash things in return for work done. (but not parts n' poo poo). the NHS on the other hand, is understandably a bit uncertain about giving out drugs that are habit forming. Our buoy Corbz eh. mfw everything happened : obs :    (USER WAS PUT ON PROBATION FOR THIS POST)

Nissin Cup Nudist posted:Voters can go from SNP to Tories in 2 years? That's certainly a thought process. 1) Sturgeon announced the Scottish Labour leader was secretly into an IndyRef2 so basically made the Tories the only option for NO voters who saw this election as another binary choice between AR FLEG or the road to a united Ireland. 2) The SNP are a centre-party who appeal to lefties because an independent Scotland would have a better chance of getting a lefty government - with a commie Jam man option the landscape got a bit complicated. 3) Wouldn't surprise me if there was the same amount of SNP voters that jumped on the Corbyn hope-mobile as Scottish Labour voters jumping on the UNITED Tory KINGDOM fuckshow.

I only voted snp this time round because my labour guy was iffy on King Jez.

But it's whether Corbyn thinks the same.

OwlFancier posted:It's weird how people age 35-50 are apparently just so checked out of politics. Like, the "they should all sort it out" thing wasn't specifically brexit it was just politics in general. Like, they genuinely didn't seem to understand anything about why political divisions exist or even what the party positions are, just that "they're all looking out for our country so why do they need to fight?" For a long time people have been able to mostly check out of politics (especially over in England since you have the NHS). The 35-50 year olds (and I'm in that camp) grew up in a world where politics was mostly a team sport hobby that didn't matter that much for most people. The kids these days have grown up in a world where politics matters massively and they're getting massively hosed over by politicians. Good on them for caring more. The kids are alright.

There's this weird myth that Scotland is inherently left wing but if you go back a generation the Tories had a solid presence in Scotland consistently through the 20th century riiiighht up until Thatcher.
