No it isn't, but it still tramples my bloody lavender.

These include cutting deep ditches, and erecting earth banks and stockade fences, to protect valuable machinery and livestock.

More technology is also being used to deter crime, including CCTV cameras, tracking devices and the SmartWater tracing system.

Crime wave aside, there's nothing more medieval than CCTV.

And as someone living in a rural area, fences, ditches and earth banks have never gone out of style.

So I know it is Evolve but is there any truth to this? Was Corbyn basically lied to?

Think you’re ignoring the “Careerist” part of it, Corbyn has basically hosed their already planned out career path through the party. A fair few of them were convinced they were gonna get a turn at being leader or at least on the Front bench someday and found their dicks being slammed in the door of a left wing revival in the party.

Think you misunderstand. They’d be “in government” like Corbyn was “In government” during Tony Blair’s years. An unreliable vote no one really gives a poo poo about isn’t really what they lust for.

Guernsey was the last bastion of feudalism until a few years ago when they became semi-democratic due a sort of coup carried out by the brothers who own the Telegraph and live there wanting to have a bigger influence over local government

Oh 100%. The current generation of Blairites and moderates is for the most part inept at actual politicking. But they represent a faction of the party which in the recent (but fading) past earned a reputation for political cunning, so they have a very hard time accepting that. So you get things like this

I get the root of this take but on the other hand there are blairites in the Shadow Cabinet already.

Starmer is a Blairite, Ashworth is a Blairite (and useless with the press, what's worse), Gardiner is a Blairite who took a shitload of money from the Chinese, and there's more.

Not really. They're middle of the road centre-leftists yes, but they're not ideologically married to radical centrism as Umuna, Cooper, Leslie and the lot are, as demonstrated by the fact they were happy to work in a Corbyn cabinet and not attempt to burn the party down

Find it hard to believe Umunna's married to any ideology.

He started off in Compass, was fully pro-Ed Milliband, then went full anti-immigration Blue Labour when that looked like the winning ticket around 2013.

He was saying that sacrificing single market access was worth ending freedom of movement in late 2016(!), but now he's decided he's back to not being racist and appointed himself king of the loving remainers.

Probably the least principled man in Labour politics tbh
