Pissflaps posted:I'm not confused. It's Theresa May using this sort of polling to indicate a majority preference for Brexit. She's not. The Tories have been using the line that 80% of the electorate in the general election voted for Labour and the Tories and their "hardd brexit" plan. It's been used on all the shows by different talking heads today. Also on Daily Politics, one of the Leave architects said that Johnson, Davis and Gove all still believe that the 350 mil will go the NHS.

Hey, just wanted to congratulate you guys on an amazing Labour performance; it's really energized leftists in America, and if I'm ever in the UK I'd love to buy a brit goon involved in getting the vote out a beer  I was really surprised by how quickly Lavour politicians turned around on Corbyn with hardly a grimace; I figured they were like our politicians and vehemently opposed leftism on the grounds of fellating rich folk, but I guess they sincerely thought Centrism was the way?

pumpinglemma posted:Oh god no. Police chiefs are considering offering guns to all frontline officers. The Met not just senior officers but the rank-and-file - have consistently resisted even being issued tasers, let alone firearms. This comes up about once every five years (last time was after Raoul Moat) and it always comes back to the same thing, the amount of incidents where officers are killed or injured where they would *still* have been killed or injured had they been armed is vanishingly small.

Now they've been proved wrong, they are allowing themselves to be proper leftists again.

It succumbs to PASOKification. Heck I think the Tories started to see the right-wing version with UKIP starting and that's why their position is untenable as their modernisers alienate their ur-nazis and their cornerstone lot alienate the right-wing Lib Dems.

Ask him what his favourite of his dad's political books were, and if he disagrees with Ralph's theory, borrowed from Laski, that managerial capitalism reinforces things like nepotism & that meritocracy is largely an illusion, with who you know being very important to success.

Not directly UK politics, but looks like there's going to be another war in the Middle East. Saudi Arabia has issued it's ultimatum to Qatar, which it has 10 days to accept: The demands (via user 'OhFunny' in MidEast thread): The closure of the Turkish military base. The shutdown of Al Jazeera and all its affiliates. Qatar must stop funding a host of other news outlets including Arabi21 and Middle East Eye. Qatar must refuse to naturalize citizens from the four countries and expel those currently in Qatar. Qatar must hand over all individuals who are wanted by those four countries for terrorism; stop funding any extremist entities that are designated as terrorist groups by the U.S.; and provide detailed information about opposition figures that Qatar has funded, ostensibly in Saudi Arabia and the other nations. Qatar align itself politically, economically and otherwise with the Gulf Cooperation Council. Qatar must shut down diplomatic posts in Iran, kick out from Qatar any members of Iran's elite Revolutionary Guard, and only conduct trade and commerce with Iran that complies with U.S. sanctions. If Qatar agrees to comply, the list asserts that it will be audited once a month for the first year, and then once per quarter in the second year after it takes effect. For the following 10 years, Qatar would be monitored annually for compliance. mediadave fucked around with this message at 17:49 on Jun 23, 2017 |
