radmonger posted:Well it _is_ true; have you never worn boots or shoes? They wear out from constant grinding abrasion, and having holes in your shoes when its wet sucks. I have, but and its important here, shoes are not people. The whole point of the original metaphor is that it highlights an actual problem. This version is just you going "BOOTS" out of nowhere because you think it makes you sound smart. You seemingly want the Left to do the typical "oh but please compromise" thing that we've been doing for a generation because Corbyn isn't popular at this particular moment in time. Well tough, the problems are coming home to roost and intransigence, in the face of mealy mouthed "Oh do please be reasonable" pleading from the kind of desperate fucker who doesn't want to have to change anything "too much", has suddenly become a political virtue.

mediaphage posted:Yes, despite what the internet thinks, mobile phones get called, too. In part because some of these dialers work by using a list of auto generated phone numbers, not actually a list from someplace. The point still stands though. How many working people can answer their personal phone during office hours? You can't if you work in retail, you can't at most call centres.

I dunno if labour loses the next one, responding with "OK you fuckers want stalin you're loving getting him" would be my preferred approach

Say what you like about Boris but he’s a smart, funny & charming guy, and his relentlessly positive message is a blessed relief after all the doom-and-gloom Remoaning. If he can deliver Brexit, he’ll be a national hero. We’re all sick of this pathetic partisan farce.

If Boris delivers brexit he’ll be off out the country within 3 months. Or hanging from tower bridge, one of the two.

Unfortunately after 40 years of walking around on shoes made from drawing pins, broken glass, Lego pieces & rusty nails (this is a metaphor for neoliberalism) we can afford nothing less than very expensive specialist shoes from your podiatrist to counteract that horrifying mess and the decades of damage done by such bad shoes (this is radical socialism). I hope by putting it like this that you loving drop this terrible analogy.

I know it’s reddit but a pharmacist is doing a slow AMA on his thoughts of brexits impact on meds:quote:We are already seeing problems across the board. HRT is difficult in particular. I gather there has been a lot of insulin fridge storage prepared in advance which should help. My advice is not to panic and stockpile. If we do that there will be big problems, just don't leave it to the last minute to get your prescriptions. Reorder at least 7-10 days in advance and accept some things may need to be changed.
