What Boris Johnson is doing is virtue signalling. That should be enough to get the right wing, sorry, classical liberals to dog pile him and avert no deal brexit.

We have copies of Tatler at the hotel I work at. As far as I can tell it's basically a medium for aristocrats and ageing rockers to get their 18-25 yo children onto the front page of a magazine, alongside headlines which pretty much amount to "they're rich and talented, come marry them"

Rustybear posted:That's baked in already at this point; he's not losing anything by doubling down. Every wet lib dribbler he loses gains him one screaming Brexit Party war boy. I mean they did do polls that suggested it too, though I'd say the key thing is making him do the extension. Because that's harder to weasel out of. The whole point is that if he can be threatened with personal legal consequences for defying parliament (which may be true at this point) then he won't necessarily be willing to risk it. At which point he's a coward who won't risk his neck for brexit, and the brexiters go back to the brexit party. If they make him extend I think that does weaken him among the brexiters while not gaining him any wet support, and pre-empting him full stop I'm not sure really defuses the "traitor parliament" angle.

Also lol 'sports industries'. Sport - Any activity that uses physical exertion or skills competitively under a set of rules that is not based on aesthetics. The practice of sport is a human right. Every individual must have the possibility of practising sport, without discrimination of any kind, which requires mutual understanding with a spirit of friendship, solidarity and fair play. Sounds very compatible with private industry, given their history.

It just feels everyone got so caught up in the excitement of sticking it to him in parliament that they forgot that the public doesn't really care about arcane procedural owns. My heart hopes that the lab leadership have private polling that suggests a big swing to remain and they're trying to re-position to capture it but my head says the country is still split 49:51 with a healthy side of 'do something, anything I'm sick of this' and participating in all this chicanery just paints us into a corner. Labour should be making the forceful independent case for itself, meeting Boris head on at a GE. Not deputising Ken Clarke or contributing to the liberal beatification of Dominic Grieve.

They do want to do a GE, but because the country is still very split on brexit, they want to try to split the tory vote by forcing boris to extend, and we need an extension anyway before we can have a GE. This is also why they want corbyn as temporary leader if it comes to that, to show that he can, in fact, be in charge without immediately seizing power and instituting a coup. Just charging into a GE at this point would be extremely dangerous.

My "Brexit vulnerability decile" is 4 apparently, which isn't too bad. Shame my neighbours across the backcourt are down in the 20% most vulnerable though- gonna have to erect some bigger fencing next to the bin sheds to keep them at bay

So not to defend the Tattler (since it is dross) but... L'octaine is a brand of beauty products. Now it covers a lot of different type of products like "anti-aging creams" and other stuff. But a lot of them are moisturizing creams. Now they are on the more expensive side of things but not all moisturizers are the same. Some (particularly cheaper ones) can cause allergic reactions. And if you suffer from dry skin or skin that dries out after a shower, facial moisturizer cream can be a God-send. If its stuff that you do use a lot, stock piling it isn't a bad idea per say because it stays in use for months and months. I do think the Tatler article is more on the side of "here are a bunch of luxury items that you wont die without and should panic buy." But on the same scale, just because a product is a "beauty product" doesn't mean it is something with no utility and only bought by the upper classes who have too much money.

I think it's pretty nebulous how well bojo would fare in an election or not anyway. But his position isn't likely to get much stronger over time. Even his crash out then trigger an election plan has a huge chance of backfiring, presumably because its cummies plan and cummies wants us out and doesn't care about bojo or the tories. The obvious risk through playing the clock is to the country not to labour's election chances imo

Agreed that the moment has now passed; just have a nagging feeling that 'leavers won't vote for Boris if Brexit is delayed' is the 'Michigan voters won't go for Trump' of our current cycle. Doesn't mean we should have just blithely followed any timetable Boris set but it does mean we should have been more careful about being welded into the establishment alliance.

The Question IRL posted:So not to defend the Tattler (since it is dross) but... Some people are allergic to the emulsifier, even though they try to pick hypoallergenic ones, but if you have allergies that severe I'd go with a medical product rather than a French skincare brand. Half their markup seems to be that they use spring water from ~random French spring~, which seems more likely to cause metal/mineral allergies than Purified Water (BP).

It is equally possible that "leavers only care about brexit in a GE" is also an optimistic assumption from the tories. Or that leavers are impressed with the tories performance on brexit. Or that the base of rabid brexiteers is as large as bojo assumes it is. Not saying you're wrong but I find this all genuinely hard to call, it could go any way imo. So I'm basically in delusional optimism mode rather than delusional pessimism mode cause gently caress it why not. Its easy to switch you just go read the first couple pages of the Cspam UK thread where everyone was almost suicidal with despair when the 2017 GE was called.

Make no mistake, its trashy wag gossip stuff but It is also related to more bad practice by our press, either by way of more hacking or one of them literally selling secrets to the Sun. I honestly don't know how they are allowed to get away with this poo poo, they are blatantly crossing lines and invading peoples privacy.
