I think that's the main reason most of parliament was so opposed to making Corbyn PM for two days to send a letter to the EU - a temporary caretaker PM is still PM and has the power to get access to ourwarcrimes.txt and read it into hansard

I'm somewhat dubious about noted parliamentarian jeremy corbyn's willingness to do that sort of disclosure but I do think it's necessary if you're going to break the idea that the british imperial penchant is cool and good.

EvilHawk posted:I absolutely love how we are days into this campaign and it's the loving Yellow Tories who have been caught out shamelessly trying to lie to the voters. Meanwhile Labour are raising insane amount of money, seeing huge spikes in membership, and Momentum is doing the same. Have the Tories even acknowledged it? They're still opening up the crypts to wake up their membership to go campaigning.

A Buttery Pastry posted:That they've been caught doesn't necessarily mean it won't work. Has the fact that they're doing this poo poo spread among the people it's likely to trick? Too early to say, I think, but after a day every Lib Dem tweet is being flooded with replies calling out their lies, so they're pretty hosed in online outreach. It's the talk of the town for the politically-engaged. It may well bypass those who aren't, but a fair few of those politically engaged people will be canvassing for Labour and will have a bee in their bonnet about demonstrable Lib Dem lies. So I suspect this will hurt the Lib Dems' ground game too, although they probably haven't thought that far ahead  There's a big difference between being caught out after the votes have been counted and being caught before they're even cast. The Lib Dems, running on a platform of "No we're not liars stop Brexit", have managed to make their current lies a major story almost instantly. Who knew that maximum duplicity was offputting to voters?

There was a similar sort of opposition to David David Davis MP becoming Tory leader because if he won he would disclose all the terrorism files that are necessary for Britain to keep sponsoring terrorism, but I think if that happened he would have somehow forgot to. also loving  at  being the political talk of the day one day into election.

The fact that we're even talking about it is a big step. It's quite hard to force a genie back into the bottle. And if the establishment is pulling out all the stops because they're afraid we might do this, why not do it? It's not like they'll say "Oh, I guess the left won't expose our crimes after all" and go easy on us next election. What would help our struggle more than exposing the dreadful crimes of the Tories, Lib Dems and New Labour? That's most of the people in Parliament who are currently waging total war against the left No quarter. No trust. They forfeited both long ago, and they've demonstrated many times over that they wouldn't give them to us if they had the opportunity.

The most successful messaging I've found so far is "if not for Tory austerity, about 200,000 people would be alive who are now dead. That's 1000's of empty spots on the sofa, 1000's of people starting to make two cups of tea before realising their mistake, 1000's of people rolling over in bed and reaching out for someone who isn't there, 1000's of families missing someone this Christmas who should still be with them. And this is when the tories were on form, never mind the chaos of recent months." The most negative response I've had so far is "I need to think about this" from someone who told me in 2017 he couldn't see himself ever voting not tory, never mind voting labour. It's a powerful message.

We're talking about it but I'd be surprised if the labour leadership is, even given corbyn's personal politics. I agree that it would be good in the long term, but institutional resiliance is all about filtering out that kind of impulse.

It has come to my attention that SA has added a bunch of new smilies that would be very helpful to users over the course of this election campaign. As a public service I am highlighting them below:           And finally this one is not political but will be much beloved all the same:  Please enjoy these smilies and use them at your leisure

Oof, this made me look up skoliosexuality and it sounds like it might be A Thing quote:One relatively new term is "skoliosexual," which means being primarily sexually, romantically, and/or aesthetically attracted to genderqueer, transgender, and/or non-binary people. ... In other words, "skoliosexual" can be used to describe attraction to anyone under the larger umbrella of genderqueer. Sounds pretty good but chances that its trans chasers trying to woke-ize their lovely behaviours are high

Joanna Cherry, who you'll have seen very prominent from the Edinburgh court case against prorogation, is very Mumsnet in her trans bigotry. There's always been a socially conservative element to the Nats, I mean their strongest areas originally were places like Perthshire & Aberdeenshire, where they were picking up the seats from the Tories.

Apparently it is just a text box with autocomplete suggestions, i.e. you won't see the Crazy New Words, Imagine New Words Ever Existing unless you type them in, and will probably just get lumped in with 'other' unless there is a significant number identifying as such, yknow because we don't actually know the most common sexualities until we count them Also love the "a number of people have drawn my attention to", joan's status solidifying as official person to alert about anyone thinking about sexuality or gender at all
