No more than The Simpson Family was oracular.



If you want further proof of Brit Wokeness by the way, the normally poisonously right wing BBC comments section has:

"Good idea to build more council houses (State owned housing for our US friends). Please do not sell them of this time, they are there for a purpose."

at 355 upvotes and 2 downvotes

and the similar:

"The only way to create good quality affordable homes is for the state to build new ones which remain ring fenced outside the housing market. In the end it will be cheaper than paying subsidies to a skewed market."

at 399 to 5.

(Labour's last manifesto missed a trick by not mostly being about building a shitload of houses and the infrastructure to do so, because everyone knows the current situation is injust)

i think that from orwells perspective, its p gol dang reasonable to narc on even suspected communists since he was in fear for his life

but in the dispassionate eye of history its kinda a dick move to turn people in for yr assumptions about their political beliefs esp in an era of political paranoia at all levels of govt

same, I joined to vote for Corbyn in 2015 and moved back to Belfast shortly after. NI Labour are all exactly the kind of cranks and bores you'd expect people who join a party that doesn't run candidates to be so gently caress that

In her speech, the Prime Minister said the law, which allows people to be sectioned if they pose a threat to themselves or others, was “leading to shortfalls in services and is open to misuse”, adding that detention rates under the Act are “too high”.

Professor Sir Simon Wessely, President of the Royal College of Psychiatrists, will lead the review. Mental health professionals and campaigners will welcome the focus on improving services but they, and Labour, say it is increased funding that is desperately needed.

The Conservatives’ 2017 manifesto pledged to scrap the Mental Health Act entirely – raising questions about what the review is designed to achieve.

Orwell was also a snitch who reported suspected communists to the cops. It's not a coincidence that he's the one socialist whose literature is universally inspiring to reactionaries.

Good? There was a real threat back in those days before communism had been beaten down and discredited that the horrors of communism could be enacted in many more countries.

I heard about it on NPR in the car.

T-may got up to give her speech then someone came up and gave her a 'you're fired' notice.

Then she started coughing and couldn't talk, then one of the letters on her sign fell off.
