found out at the pub last night that my friends parents are apparently well keen on Priti Patel because they reckon she'll deport all the Muslims

they're Sikh so I'm not sure they've thought the consequences of the government starting to deport ethnic minorities through very well

Using music from proper bands in online projects is always risky but that said this track has the UKMTP spirit throughout: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E8b4xYbEugo

Yeah drat that's pretty lovely I hope the Canary makes it.

This SFFN twitter account is highly illustrative of the political landscape in the UK though - in the last five days they've targeted the Canary and Tommy Robinsons news website with twitter threads. The Canary attacks are pretty poor and are centred around the editors personal Twitter account, Tommy Robinsons website is taking contributions from open fascist conspiracy theorists. The Canary thread has been retweeted almost 500 times and the SFFN account then retweets several melt blue checkmarks that we repost here from time to time. The Tommy Robinson thread has been retweeted less that 20 times. There's this massive imbalance between the way attacks on the left are boosted at every turn by all parts of the establishment and how they treat the right.

Well this went through editors approval rather than just out on his personal twitter so there's the full force of the paper behind that comment now and so obviously they can't be wrong/back down!

Sorting out room acoustics will likely be the biggest improvement. A high level microphone in a room with echo will still sound awful – you don't realise how much echo there is in a room until you record it when you're brain can't filter it out.

I'm not sure if this has been linked previously, but this document pretty much gives clear indication on how Labour's environmental vision is more progressive when compared to the Green Party's: https://www.labour.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/The-Green-Transformation-.pdf
Hopefully it will properly integrated into the Labour manifesto at some point so that it gets a bit more visibility.

A Blue Snowball Cardioid is about £50 and is a huge quality jump up from most headset mics, although yeah it can't save you from bad room acoustics. Fortunately there are still lots of things you can do in a room, just having something behind the mic that absorbs sound makes a big difference because that catches the first set of reflections in the typical vocal range.

I can also attest to the Rode Video Micro.
Only issue is it doesn't come with a stand, so you'd need a tripod compatible stand, or a boom arm, but the videomicro also works with android phones, and for an extra tenner can work with iPhones, in case you want to record on the go.

Has anyone seen the galaxy-brained take on how Sinn Fein should give up their Westminster seats as part of a complex sequence of electoral steps to stop no-deal Brexit? Essentially, Sinn Fein step down -> all pro-Remain parties endorse a particular, popular, non-party candidate in the by-election -> those candidates take Westminster seats because they're not beholden to SF abstention policy -> ??? -> No Brexit!
Because calling for votes when you are certain the result will be what you want has worked so well in recent years.

Another highlight is the "short-term unity government" under "a less contentious figure [i.e. not Corbyn] such as Keir Starmer or Caroline Lucas."

I usually like reading Fintan O'Toole because his pieces usually just say "Here is another way in which the Brits are at it again" in flowery language, but I suppose Boris has broken him.

Even if that Rube Goldberg plan had any hope of working, why would SF want to stop the most likely route to a united Ireland we've seen in decades? AFAIK they're nominally anti-Brexit (for Northern Ireland), but they were calling just this week for a reunification vote following NDB.

https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2019/jul/31/sinn-fein-border-poll-ireland-unity-must-follow-no-deal-brexit posted:

It would be “unthinkable” if a no-deal Brexit was not followed by a poll on Irish reunification, the leader of Sinn Féin has warned Boris Johnson, also telling the prime minister that no one believed he was impartial on Northern Ireland.

“In the longer term, we have advised him that constitutional change is in the air. He can’t say that he hasn’t been told,” Mary Lou McDonald said after meeting Johnson at Stormont on Wednesday morning.

Any Brexit, but particularly no deal, “represents in anybody’s language a dramatic change of circumstances on this island, and … it would be unthinkable in those circumstances that people would not to be given the opportunity to decide on our future together”, McDonald said.
