October 2nd, 1263 - The battle of Largs happens between Scotland & Norway. It's not very big or important but not much else has happened on this day in history. forkboy84 fucked around with this message at 16:28 on Oct 2, 2019 |

Johnson: "It's not a backstop! It's a... rearhalt. A behindhold. A bumshunt." Every time I see the word "Stormont", my brain reads it as "Stormfront" and I think, wait, haven't those loving Nazis been DDOS'd out of existence yet?

Grr - just listening to Radio 4 Extra (as it doesn't have news and I felt like radio today). They're just doing some silly quiz show "The 3rd Degree" and Steve Punt has just asked a question regarding Press TV and made sure to mention Corbyn's been on it 'when he can find the time between appearances on Russia Today'. hahaha say the audience. I'm effin annoyed because this kind of thing is slips through into the public brain on comedy programmes when peoples' discerning listening modes are off.

radmonger posted:There is a reason the Tories are keen on the early election that all opposition parties are trying to delay. it's because they want to gently caress around with election timing so we automatically leave on 31st October with No Deal, OP marktheando posted:As I said this didn't help at all in the Euro elections. I think people know Corbyn by this point, two years later, you aren't going to get such a dramatic turnaround again. a) European election results basically never correlate with GE results since many people don't bother to vote at all and many others treat it as a protest vote b) unlike a GE the European campaign didn't feature a manifesto with multiple new and popular policies

JeremoudCorbynejad posted:Much like an old boot, that argument had a lot of holes in it, and radmonger was getting dunked, so the logical course of action was for him to discard the boots and never speak of them again As much as I believe in these two I do have something else that I like to look at. It's how we hide from failure. In particular we hide from failure because we hide from pain and loss. For good reason, pain and loss are poo poo, but I think a whole lot of the "never apologise, never explain, just keep talking" manner in which the world is run should be ended for the simple reason that it prevents us from seeing things clearly.

If you need a break from usless centrist posters or the Tory conference, WDTATW's 100th (definitely 100 shhh) episode is about Alpha Centauri and the politics of the game and factions therein, which made me not dislike that game for about twenty minutes. I recommend it!

We may go further, and say that in the degree in which we are fortunate enough to get away from the one, we approach the other. Life presents, in fact, a more or less violent oscillation between the two.

I can't really complain about a comedian making jokes about the times a politician legitimately hosed up. Sure, but he gets constant poo poo for it while a variety of right-wingers get a free pass for the same thing. The problem isn't that he has appeared on them but rather what the commentator is implying that suggests about him. JA is right to point out that mainstream comedy is full of these little 'jokes' about corbyn/labour's supposed antisemitism, terrorist connections, Stalinism etc etc, and that this normalises these things as truth because they're superficially lighthearted comedy programmes as opposed to more overtly political ones where people expect guests to be 'playing politics'. I got really mad with Frankie Boyle in his latest show for doing this exact thing. It's a cheap, lazy way to get a laugh and more to the point it directly feeds into establishment support. Boyle is usually great and it was particularly disappointing to hear from someone who should know better.

I did respond to most of it; you really.expect detailed response to each of seven people saying ‘I don’t get it; why doesn’t the stupid poor person just buy some good boots?’ or context-free insults. I think it was you who did make a valid point, that boots are not people. Treating a person like Corbyn, who has done many great things for a very long time, as an object is indeed disrespectful and wrong. But there is a limit to how sentimental you can afford to be at the level of national politics.

No I expect one that actually lays out why you are attempting to move on from a metaphor which clearly failed. It was indeed me. However the problem is that, instead of standing around and going "oh dear" there is something you can do. Have an arguement. If you think Corbyn should eventually step down then I wouldn't say I am against it, but have an answer to obvious questions "like whom" and "how does this prevent the right from just taking over Labour again" and the final one "And how do you think this would actually improve things"? Thus far everything that comes out about needing to be rid of "Corbyn" is a reaction to how things could be, as opposed to how things are.
