The Chocolate Orange is really just a gateway to the wonderful world of chocolate covered orange peels and even orange slices. You know what the next step is.

Haven't had one for ages but wouldn't be surprised if they have changed to soya. A couple of years ago I bought a 'tin' of Roses for Xmas - they were horrible (not that that stopped me eating them) and the chocolate was some cheat poo poo. I won't buy them again. (But if someone sticks them in front of me, I'll eat them anyway thinking 'yuck' the whole time).

Pretty sure that before you do this you have to implement a mandatory national ID system like, uh I don't know, most of the loving world?

Like who the gently caress thought it would be a good idea to require ID when voting, in a country where there's no guarantee people will have any kind of ID? :psyduck:

OwlFancier
Aug 22, 2013

The point of voter ID is to make it so people can't vote, which is explicitly why you don't implement ID cards.

There is zero indication that the UK has a problem with electoral fraud and the ballots aren't secret anyway so we already have a method to investigate it if it were suspected.

The only reason people want to bring it in is as a vote suppression measure, as is the case most places it's implemented.

The Manchester attacker has now been assessed and detained under the Mental Health Act. Have the police ever been know to treat terrorism offences as a mental health issue before?

They all got back from Joker and like it really made them think you know.

But no, I dont know specifics about particular cases but very strongly doubt it's the first time a possible terrorist had mental health involved in their detention. There isn't usually a neat either/or between mental illness and ideology when it comes to terrorist attacks, ideological groups often prey on mentally ill young men to do the actual attacks, stochastic terrorism is sane people propagating an ideology that an unrelated, often insane person then acts on. Attacks like Manchester Arena or Christchurch that seem to be clear-headed ideology are comparatively rare.

Also I don't think anythings come out to suggest it was a terrorist attack, might well have missed something though.

Still, I worry that Corbyn stepping down following a poor electoral showing could prompt a successful coup and throw us unceremoniously back to 2015 hellworld.

The right can't coup anything without the membership being disempowered and that can't be done while the left have a candidate. The danger isn't a coup it's a lovely weak compromise leader that wants to 'bridge the divide within the party', for which read drop any left-wing position if the Daily Mail tells them to 3 days in a row. The problem is there legit isn't a deep bench of next-gen left people because that was the entire internal project of New Labour, deny positions to anyone that wasn't a useless lib.

After Corbyn, be it because he steps down or because he's assassinated, a huge factor is the 2015 austerity bill, Harman as acting leader told Labour to abstain and the 48 MPs that told her to get hosed and opposed it are the only legitimate options, list of them here https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/welfare-bill-who-are-the-48-rebel-labour-mps-who-voted-against-it-10403502.html

That bill is especially relevant not just because it was loving disgusting, but because it happened after Cameron got the surprise majority. With hindsight we now know it was because of the EU referendum manifesto promise, but at the time people didn't know how strong the depth of anti-EU feeling was, that's why the referendum result surprised everyone, at the time people thought the tories won because of poor-hating. So Harman and the other cunts acted from that utterly dumb and flawed assessment and officially didn't oppose one of the most morally disgusting bills that has passed through Parliament in recent history. The MPs that still voted against it probably have souls but also haven't bought in entirely to the game over establishment-logic hivemind, there's lots of them I don't like but anyone not on that list is 100% out of the running for decent people morally and political-nous practically.

I like Clive Lewis but he doesn't seem to want it. Khan has been positioning himself for labour leadership too early. Abbott has too bad a rep and is legit bad at interviews. Lammy is maybe in ten years, but he needs to get way better at communicating concepts like black diaspora or to stop talking about it, and he has the Iraq war around his neck. The hot gossip is Rebecca Long Bailey, she has a decent record but has hardly set the world on fire and she's not currently a strong campaigner, plus the Guardian has been pushing her as Corbyn heir for a few months now and that makes me very suspicious. If Clive Lewis actually steps up then he's my guy, if Bailey turns left then she'd be a strong choice, otherwise it's writing in McDonnell territory,
