VideoGames posted:It's pretty much exactly the same in regards to vaccinations. This is from like a page ago, but it reminded me of my mum getting me my first vaccinations. When we went in (early 90's Australia), there were apparently a lot of other mums fussing over their babies, worrying about the needles and side effects and stuff. The nurse asked my mum why she seemed less worried; mum replied with something along the lines of "my dad (born mid-30's) had polio, stab away!". Side note: my grandfather is solidly socialist  You wonder if Gen Y (probably most of us on this dead gay forum) are gonna be that generation about, I dunno, drugs maybe. Some lovely anti-drug backlash pops up in fifty year's time, and we get to be the olds that say, yeah, well, we tried banning that poo poo too, and we have graveyards full of the dead that that policy created *rolls blunt* TheRat posted:E: Also, public wants another election How do you gently caress up that much as a government that, immediately after an election, the people want another election like it's almost a hard rule of Western democracy that (ironically) people loving hate elections at the best of times And yet here we are, the British public baying for even more blood at the ballot box, their third election in two years. What a time to be alive. yes I know that figure is almost all progressive voters, shut up Coucho Marx fucked around with this message at 15:40 on Jun 13, 2017 |

Remember when Momentum were Communist infiltrators who would never achieve anything but simultaneously capable of re-opening the gulags? Different times, different tone: https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2017/jun/13/there-is-no-unwinnable-seat-now-how-labour-revolutionised-its-doorstep-game The whole article is full of adorable stuff too.quote:Sarah Jones, the new MP for Croydon Central, won her seat from the former Conservative housing minister (and May’s new chief of staff) Gavin Barwell with a 9.7% swing – and added more than 7,000 votes. Jones is aligned with the Blairite pressure group Progress, and didn’t vote for Corbyn in either leadership election, but she is unequivocal in her enthusiasm for the new way of doing things. “I think everybody who didn’t vote for Jeremy has been delighted with what we’ve managed to achieve on Thursday,” she said. “I’m now sure we wouldn’t have done so well if someone else had been leading the party.” She describes thousands of new campaigners on the streets of Croydon in the past seven weeks – and at least 700 or 800 volunteers on election day to “get out the vote” (GOTV), including hundreds of first-time canvassers, coming from across London and the south-east. “There were so many young people; but not only young people, people diverse in their backgrounds, in their gender, everything – we’d buddy people up, a new canvasser with a more experienced party member – but then so many of the first-timers and Momentum people would come back, that was the amazing thing – and after two sessions they were the experienced ones, leading the new ones. It was a completely different kind of campaign.” quote:we looked at the fact that Clegg only had a majority of a few thousand, and we said: ‘You know what, maybe we can win here?’ So Momentum filled the gap. Everything, from the official campaign photos to making the memes for social media, to just arranging the printing of election materials. We didn’t have any glossy ‘Vote Jared O’Mara’ leaflets or posters, we just had a double-sided photocopied A4 bulletin – it didn’t look slick, to be honest. It was a really scratch campaign – one that without Momentum wouldn’t have existed – but it worked. quote:“I heard about people being overwhelmed in a few seats, after we sent out text messages directing volunteers,” says Beth Foster-Ogg, 20, Momentum’s membership organiser. “I got a call from Cambridge, from a local organiser saying: ‘You’ve sent me too many people! We’ve sent out all the boards and there’s still loads of people flooding in, we don’t know what to do.’ It happened in Leeds North West, too – they started the day, they had so many activists that they went: ‘Right, let’s scrap our whole strategy, we’re going to just print off the electoral register instead’ Junior G-man fucked around with this message at 15:54 on Jun 13, 2017 |

Extreme0 posted:Harry Leslie Smith is a pretty good example. He's 94 and yet is still very politcally active social media. He recently made a podcast to record his experiences from the past and today for people to not forget everything that's happened and to inspire others. “There are so few people left alive from back then, you may as well be talking to them about the Black Death. Nobody recalls the shite in the 30s and that were loving horrible. For Christ's sake, nobody wants to remember the shite in the 80s. It's all forgotten and swept under the rug by the newspapers and the BBC. They get nostalgic about the music, but they never want to mention the misery. It's all shite. As for the bloody Second World War, the politicians only talk about it when they need an excuse to go pissing about in one of those loving Muslim countries.” ― Harry Leslie Smith

Churchill was very good at ordering people shot, but it was Clement Attlee that ran the country during WW2. Churchill got his place in history, Attlee got to lead the greatest Government in British history. All worked out for the best.* *except for the Welsh miners, who were shot

Halisnacks posted:I was wondering: short of a parliamentary vote going to poo poo for the Tories, could anything that happens outside of the House of Commons conceivably bring them down? Does their minority position now weaken them to bad press in general, or problems with their ministries? For example, could another acute NHS crisis (doctor/nurse strike, bringing in the Red Cross, etc.) compromise their position in government? Some sort of NHS crisis would absolutely hurt the Tories as it'd allow Corbyn and Labour to keep hitting them on spending cuts. The problem for the Tories is that if their poll numbers keep dropping it'd only take 4 backbenchers with big majorities to think "we'd better have this election before it gets any worse" and back a vote of no confidence.

While a racist shithead Churchill also said:quote:Roads are made, streets are made, services are improved, electric light turns night into day, water is brought from reservoirs a hundred miles off in the mountains – and all the while the landlord sits still. Every one of those improvements is effected by the labour and cost of other people and the taxpayers. To not one of those improvements does the land monopolist, as a land monopolist, contribute, and yet by every one of them the value of his land is enhanced. He renders no service to the community, he contributes nothing to the general welfare, he contributes nothing to the process from which his own enrichment is derived ... the unearned increment on the land is reaped by the land monopolist in exact proportion, not to the service, but to the disservice done.
