Oh dear me posted:I don't know, the 'continuous' surely means it's a thing that is going on up to a point in the future - like 'I shall have been bedridden for a fortnight tomorrow'. That doesn't really seem to apply here, I think it's just a plain future perfect. Okay, everyone here's ballsed this up this explanation so let me put this grammar question to bed once and for all.
Thanks. gently caress the queen.

kingturnip posted:Petitions and protests are meaningless when you've got megalomaniacs in charge. I was talking about something similar with my mum and stepdad the week before last, and my stepdad insists that the politicians didn't really start to freak out about the IRA until they started targeting the banks, stock exchanges et al. Other people may dispute this, but it is true that most politicians (certainly Conservatives these days) care more about wealth than about human life, so if you want to do a riot, go to the City and throw bricks there. Though, if the police are reading my posts (lol if you read my posts) they should know I'm a huge wimp with anxiety about crowds and loud noises, so don't plan on rioting myself. But I'm not going to get out of my chair to stop anyone else.

I was going to type out a big effort post in response to jobchat as well as touching on Diktator Bojo, but I found out this afternoon that it looks like I’m going to be a father. We’re going to try and get confirmation due to the minute chance of a false positive before we tell family and friends. I didn’t realise it was possible to be so thrilled and at the same time completely terrified.

quote:Jo Swinson, the new leader of the Liberal Democrats, said the party would back Kenneth Clarke or Harriet Harman as prime minister of an anti-no-deal Brexit coalition government. The idea of this new coalition came from Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn and would include Green, SNP, and rebel Tory MPs. Swinson said that Corbyn would not get sufficient support from all sides of parliament, while Clarke or Harman are unifying names. Wait what. Why the gently caress would corbyn agree to a blairite being PM instead of him

Hey friend, congrats first of all, but let me say I've been there. I'm an American goon that found out my wife was pregnant the day of Trump's inauguration. So after the initial excitement wore off I think I stared off into space for an eternity thinking "what have I done?". (Hey at least it doesn't cost $10,000 to have a baby over there!)

mila kunis posted:Wait what. Why the gently caress would corbyn agree to a blairite being PM instead of him The paragraph you quoted very carefully avoids saying that corbyn suggested someone else should be PM. It says he supported the idea of a coalition and that the liberal democrats want it to be clarke or harman, and that they are "unifying names" and very studiously avoids saying anything else.

Why are they so opposed to Corbyn being PM for a couple months while the caretaker government holds elections? It’s not like he can enact sweeping policy changes with him being on only by a razor thin margin, one contingent on him agreeing to be only a caretaker, can he?

I think it's because if he keeps his word then they can't scare people by saying he is a spooky old communist spy who wants to take all the housepricepensionssavings from hardworkingtaxpayerfamilies.

Because they don't give the faintest poo poo about anything but themselves and the labour party getting anywhere near government risks giving us inertia to enact our own political project that is a direct threat to their chances of holding power and prestige. They will burn the country and kill as many people as it takes to keep themselves in the papers and to uphold liberal economics.

The point is far less about any coherent political agenda though they absolutely do hate the labour one, but because politics for liberals is twitter and the point is maximum attention for yourself at all times.

Wouldn't the LibDems voting against a VONC be against even their own self-interest? Especially in the event of a no-deal Brexit their supporters are going to remember they torpedoed the last chance to avoid the worst possible outcome. It's really hard to understand their position except that they're bluffing. Is there a chance Corbyn pushes for a VONC and dares them to vote against it?

I dunno, Lib Dem supporters currently don't seem to be remembering all the dumb poo poo they did in coalition so... More seriously recent polling showed something like 70% of LD supporters want them to support Corbyn's plan so actually you're probably right.

yes it would, and yes IMO he's absolutely going to the LDs voting against a VONC and/or a Corbyn caretaker government would be in direct contradiction to what is literally their single only current policy, it absolutely would not go unnoticed in the last 3 GEs the LDs went from 57 seats to 8 to 12, just because the fubpees on Twitter have memory-holed the coalition years doesn't mean everyone has Julio Cruz fucked around with this message at 21:41 on Aug 28, 2019 |
