Tesseraction posted:He was found to have pushed that paedo ring scandal that turned out to be fake. Guardian link for info. The Met statement is here, with a link to download a PDF of the report, if you like. Turns out that, in everyone's rush to see horrible politicians and light entertainers punished for something, not enough people stopped to ask "does any of this sound a tiny bit made up, to anyone else, at all?" I guess that I also thought that these claims should be believed, because it is still true that false claims are only a tiny percentage of all claims of sexual abuse, but I'm not a politician or a police officer, and so my opinion is much less damaging.

Jollity Farm posted:Guardian link for info. The Met statement is here, with a link to download a PDF of the report, if you like. I'm a little itchy about it because of stuff like the Franklin scandal, where the victims were branded as crazy fraudsters in extremely suspicious circumstances, but then again, this is exactly how Watson has been playing the antisemitism thing, and it's not a huge surprise to see him being quite so opportunistic and disinterested in the truth in his other campaigns as well.

“And on this slide if you reference graph 1, it shows exponential growth in stupidity never seen before across the whole of society. Also that is not your standard Y axis, it’s actually in a logarithmic scale to show the extent of just how stupid people really are.

Also that is not your standard Y axis, it’s actually in a logarithmic scale to show the extent of just how stupid people really are.” If you plot 'number of animals abused' against 'what makes people cruel' versus 'intelligence of either party', the pattern is so unreadable that you might as well just draw a chain of fox heads on sticks. And if you do that, an interesting thing happens: the word 'cruel' starts flashing. So - are we cruel to hunt foxes?

Watching that speech at the Greens conference was slightly depressing because they're mostly good policies but a vote for the Greens in the vast majority of the UK does literally nothing except siphon off votes from Labour and increasing the chance of another Tory hell government. Yeah I know that there's horrible "keep the unwashed hordes away from our pretty countryside" voters in there too but still

You brits. The news says that because of Ireland no deal brexit is probably back on! Except I thought parliament voted to order Boris to delay brexit. Is that true? Or did they overturn him having to delay it? I kind of remember him insinuating he just wouldn’t. You are all so confusing. Be more like Australia where your terrible governing is easy to follow!
