Gove looks like some sort of creepy wooden puppet prop from a 1980's low budget B-movie that somehow got possessed through black magic by the soul of a snivelling cretin. I'd never be able to take him seriously if I had to work with him.

OwlFancier posted:What exactly does "shoot to kill" mean? Right now, under the law, any cop shooting someone would have to justify it under the same kind of reasoning a member of public would have to make a lawful killing- that they believed there was a serious threat to themselves or others e.t.c- such as a bunch of terrorists running round stabbing people. Of course with the rozzers being entirely corrupt, its not like that de facto, but de jure it's reasonably straight and simple. Cops can't be told to kill someone, it has to be their choice based on the circumstances. "Shoot to kill" essentially would allow cops to murder at will and just point to orders and use the threat of terrorism to obscure complaint- and they already don't seem to have problems with getting away with it. I wonder how many people actually believe there is some kind of extant "shoot to kill" legislation in force that corbyn wants to remove, wouldn't be surprised if it was at least a third of the populace

That's how I assumed it worked because that's basically how it has to work under any sane system because use of firearms would depend on the individual person and the individual situation. Just cos the armed cops are out still means they have to figure out if it's safe for the public for them to shoot people. It's just really hard to watch anyone discuss that policy because they all sound like complete idiots who haven't bothered to do even half a minute's research on the subject and are just repeating nonsense phrases that don't make any sense.

To be fair, they're out of options. Unless they want Amber Rudd with her comfy 300 vote majority or BoJo. Not much else there.

quote:She was very concerned about people who have lost their seats, the party is going to help them, some of them are in dire financial situations. She did say sorry, several times. She apologised for colleagues losing their seat, for making the call about the early election. So if you lose your seat you're immediately off the payroll? I always wondered how it worked.

I was thinking this too, but then i remembered that all the potential replacements are the people who were too stupid, treacherous and contemptible to beat May in the real leadership contest under ordinary circumstaces. Any of them would be hilarious imo.

She's a weak and derided leader. Everyone know's she's lost all authority. She's a bonifide loser. Having her stay on is great, every day she stays it further nails down the weak and wobbly, grasping at power for powers own sake narrative.

Yeah iirc you get a lump sum equivalent to like a month's wages for each year you served or something like that, with maximum of £15k or something. Lol if there are tories who only got in in 2015 and lost their seats. Just lmao.

Bardeh posted:So if you lose your seat you're immediately off the payroll? I always wondered how it worked. if you stand for reelection and fail, you get a generous 'resettlement payment'. equivalent of one month's salary per year served as an MP, capped at 6 maximum but you don't if you just stand down. which is probably the only reason e.g. Danczuk bothered to put his name on the ballot as an independent.

'Dire financial situations' sounds like some of them can't even pay their mortgages. I'm imagining some backbencher looking forward to their 'inevitable' victory and buying a second home or something, only to lose their seat.

Tesseraction posted:Yeah it's that bit that pisses me off. He's more than capable of being funny without doing those and it often is a detriment to the narrative of the segment. It always feels like a contractual requirement to keep the stoner college students on board. I've seen bits where he seems genuinely angry about the issue he's talking about, and then he has to visibly grit his teeth and do the LOL PHOTOSHOP bit before he can get back to the actual important stuff Samantha Bee is better at the acidic humour thing but it's weird that the US has multiple 'look at this terrible poo poo in politics/social issues but with humour' shows and we just get  comedy panel shows
