Including in the past week. Never learn. I didn't learn from drinking too much, but a few days spent in a liver and kidney ward (unrelated to drinking)is a right loving eye opener.

MikeCrotch posted:Jess Phillips and Chris Leslie are the two most vocal critics so far, they will be kept far from power and will be the ones feeding Dan Hodges et. al publicly. Stella Creasy has been remarkably quite the last few months but she's popular, was a candidate for Dep. Leadership, and is no fan of Corbyn at all.

freebooter posted:The idea that your are required to update your address at a central government register, via the police, and will be penalised if you don't? Yes. There's a reason we don't do that in English common law countries. It helps government statistics, bureaucracy, logistics, tax and policy decisions. Voter ID law for instance wouldn't be a big deal at all in the US if they had an actual civic registry instead of the garbage half-solution that social security numbers are. Also do keep in mind that this is different from country to country. For instance, me as a Swede registers to our tax administration and while the law requires it there is no punishment for me not doing so. It's information I provide to the government to help them help me, not to facilitate them keeping track of me. They are fully capable of doing that without a civic registry.

Can Hodges even remotely be considered a 'dissenting Labourite' anymore? He voted Tory and it is pretty plain that his issue with Corbyn isn't just based on perceived 'electability' and is actually totally ideological. Whereas many people seem to be accepting they got it wrong and actually appear to be relieved at his surge, Hodges is moving the goalposts with the best of the Tory commentariat. He's just another Tory to be ignored imo. I love imagining his dinner table chats with his mum because iirc Glenda Jackson was pretty cool.

Stella Creasy (Hella Easy) is my MP, I have half a mind to get in touch regarding recent affairs and her place in them. Do MPs actually read correspondence from their constituents? I imagine letters are more likely to be read than e-mails? edit: Handwritingchat: I have colleagues who work with handwritten Early Modern (Renaissance-Industrial Revolution) texts, everything from private letters to rock engravings, i.e. definitely not nice manuscripts with proper orthography etc.. I swear they develop some kind of mutant power or sixth sense, because not only can they read 400 year old bird footprints on vellum, they recognise the hands of individuals.

Depends on the MP I think - I know people who live in Rushcliffe who said that they always got a response from Ken Clarke and respected him for that and his work in the constituency, even if they didn't like his politics.

communism bitch posted:Well this is what I do for a living, and it's not that unbelievable. This year I've catalogued 11,000 individual bits of correspondence received by one individual between 1860 and 1905. The same people tend to write fairly often, penmanship can be very distinctive, and I guarantee you'll recognise anybody's handwriting after reading a hundred of their letters. At this point if there's a letter from a regular correspondent I don't need to look to the signature before putting their name in the database, just a glance at the first couple of lines and I know who it is most of the time. I'm a prehistorian, as far as I am concerned poo poo started going downhill fast right around the founding of Sumer.

They Work For You is a terrific database, but is there anything like it for party candidates? I'm keen to get involved with the party in my local constituency but beyond the leaflet and website I can't find much information on my local Labour candidate, Nik Johnson. I suppose I could just ask him but I'm caught a terrible case of Britishness and would rather go in a little prepared & educated.
