Noxville posted:Bear in mind this is mostly from polls before Johnson spent a week revealing how comically incompetent he actually is as Prime Minister. I remember that brief period where people hadn't realised what a poo poo Theresa May was and she was hailed as the most popular prime minister in decades or whatever would be nice if the upcoming election turns out the same way hers did. would say i hope for it, depending on what the current thread consensus is on hope being a lie or not currently. it seems to swing back and forth with the tides

Captain Fargle posted:Snap elections have a minimum required campaigning time of six weeks right? So if Corbyn holds out another two before an election is called, ie: the allotted time under the FTPA for the Opposition to try and gain the confidence of the House in a VONC, then by default the election happens after the Oct 31 deadline. Not even that. If Corbyn holds out until next Thursday Parliament has to be prorogued, meaning an election can't be called until it returns about five weeks later. Boris has basically hosed himself with the proroguing stunt.

Boris Johnson goes through one of those nightmares where you're naked and speaking in public and everyone is laughing at you except it's in real life and broadcast all over public television, BUT... BUT bear with me here, bear with me, he called Corbyn a CHICKEN, a CHICKEN loving OWNED for doing exactly what he said he was going to do all along the loving COWARD

Not sure why this is at all surprising? The no dealer gammons will abandon the Tories should BoJo break his solemn promise. This is why it's vital that the election is delayed.

Yeah, seems pretty straightforward to me. Boris promised that Brexit would mean Brexit on Halloween and no later. If we still don't know what the gently caress Brexit means after halloween then he appears as trustworthy as he actually is.

Mebh posted:Hey Medical goons, my wife and I currently live in the NL and we're seriously looking at moving to the UK. (yeah, great timing I know) From a few pages ago, but there's nothing in particular that would prevent a UK GP from prescribing regular Lorazepam unless they don't want to. Lots of them might not want to though. because being on regular benzos isn't a good way to manage any psychiatric condition because tolerance and addiction develop so quickly. So they might recommend or even insist she try something else. All depends on what kind of doctor you get.

Okay but why do they think if they vote for Bojo before then he won’t have to ask for an extension? Isn’t it at this point set in stone that he’ll have to?

If there's an election on Oct 15 and the Tories win a majority then they can repeal the bill before the EU summit on the 17th. If they are allowed to campaign on repealing the bill and no deal then they will hoover up BXP votes, unite the gammons and win a majority with 35% of the vote thanks to our amazing electoral system. This is why the election must be delayed.

If the election is after the 17th the Tory platform has to be 'let us run down the clock yet again until the end of January and we'll go through all this again only hopefully it won't get blocked this time'. Which is not nearly as compelling.

plus the whole oct 31 #brexitday #surrenderbill #BattleOfBrexit bs is a perfect backdrop for a GE as far as Bojo is concerned - it's ideal for rallying voters who feel like we're in the final stretch, and that there's one last fight to be won. That's why he's so desperate to get it, quickly get an extension and it just deflates the whole campaign, and acts as more attrition - Leave voters just check out of the whole process, or fall in behind Farage instead since the tories are obviously useless

Have a thing to ask the thread: How do you all deal with feeling uncomfortable/dealing with conflict. I don't know how to deal with feeling uncomfortable other than to run away or to, quite literally, shove my fingers in my ears and try and pretend I am not there. I don't like doing this and would like to not. Any ideas?

This isn't normal and I need to change that. Also yeah the seating rules are not all that important, but a lot of people get very cross about it because we are all cross about the organisation in general and want every opportunity to complain. I think that's good, but it doesn't change anything. Josef bugman fucked around with this message at 01:08 on Sep 6, 2019 |

Like I'm the kind of person who tries to resolve stuff, in the "yeah it sucks but we need to make the best of it" kind of way, trying to smooth things over instead of letting people talk past each other or get into misunderstandings that just ends up in upset. And if you can do that (or have a go) then great, but if there's nothing you can do then why get dragged into it emotionally? You can't always fix everything or make people see sense, sometimes you gotta check out I mean it's probably better if you can be present and zen about the whole thing, but honestly you don't owe them that if they're fighting in front of you and making you uncomfortable. And you didn't cause the problem either, so don't feel responsible

Josef bugman posted:Have a thing to ask the thread: How do you all deal with feeling uncomfortable/dealing with conflict. I think this is quite normal. A lot of people hate conflict and will either do their best to ignore it or try to walk away from its source if they can. People belittling their partners or having a snidey ''argument' in front of me makes me feel very embarrassed and just want to escape. The situation you describe about office seating - if you really don't mind where you end up sitting, try to ignore the arguments around you, if you are allowed to either get some headphones and listen to music while you're working or a pair of ear defenders to block it out. If anyone asks you to side with them or your opinion, just say you don't really mind where you end up and say you're not getting involved. If you do have a preferred place, just state it simply and clearly and then leave it to work itself out if you don't want to argue about it. I even feel uncomfortable about some scenes on tv dramas (arguments and such like) and mute the tv til the scenes are over.
