Lightning Knight posted:For example, “lizard people” was another common favorite among the far right conspiracy crowd, though it’s mostly fallen out of fashion because it’s silly. It died out because video codecs and TV definitions got better. The crazies would freeze whoever they wanted to be a lizard on a low def lovely satellite feed footage or whatnot, and then claim the video codec glitching out was the person showing their lizard true form. David Icke would do this too at the start, but has scrubbed most of his vids. I cant find them on YT. For example, this wackjob here claiming Elvis is one due to crappy video resolution: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dOQcLZhF9Ak

Gonzo McFee posted:https://twitter.com/ThatTimWalker/status/1189906584014610432 Makes sense. Your leader losing their seat on election night is pretty bad optics & also means your party is immediately in disarray needing a new leadership contest. See Clegg, Nick in 2017. And the Liberals will have a good chance of experiencing it again with Swindon, Jo. If I was a Tory I'd want my leader in a seat like Rutland & Melton where even in the 1997 landslide they won over 45% of the vote.

Lightning Knight posted:It’s a group of men with big noses who are implicitly being accused of controlling the world in front of a big Illuminati pyramid with “NEW WORLD ORDER” behind them. The leap tho is that after World War II a lot of the conspiracy inclined far right started veiling their antisemitic conspiracies behind vague concepts like NWO or UN black helicopters to basically launder their concepts. Then it’s disseminated as generic conspiracies and accepted by people who are conspiracy inclined but not necessarily explicitly far right, making them easy marks for cryptofascism. Unfortunately, I have seen some of this lizards / Rothschilds stuff on just a FEW VERY FEW comments on FB in some left groups where the members are definitely Boomer Olds using social media for the first time (eg when someone shares something someone else posted and it doesn't display just a 'content unavailable' message and unleashes a barrage of 'FB is censoring our posts' or 'why are the admins of this group deleting my posts' etc). Friends I have from overseas in areas with mass protests eg Puerto Rico also share this image but as an anti-capitalist / bankers motif not as an anti-semitic thing.

Especially for higher earners I'm also not sure how to put it to them in a way that guarantees their pay level. I have some older relatives I might be able to convince if it meant they could keep their salary but work less.

I'm a pretty junior member (only signed up in 2015 and I've only sporadically made meetings and canvassing where I can since). All this really shows is that there's a discrepancy between the 2017 election results and the parties suggested by the website. I'm not sure how interesting that really is, if they're using more recent polling data/the EUs/locals then this is pretty meaningless (though the website should really make it clear how their predictions are made).

OwlFancier posted:By the way how are labour planning to do this 4 day work week thing? the succinct graun summary quote:The details of the policy are rather different to the headline. Businesses will not have a four-day week imposed on them. Instead, Labour will use a series of smaller measures to work towards a reduction in hours. from McD quote:So I an tell you today that the next Labour government will reduce the average full time working week to 32 hours within a decade. A shorter working week with no loss of pay. We’ll end the opt-out from the European Working Time Directive. As we roll out sectoral collective bargaining, we’ll include negotiations over working hours. We’ll require working hours to be included in the legally binding sectoral agreements between employers and trade unions. This will allow unions and employers to decide together how best to reduce hours for their sector. And we’ll set up a Working Time Commission with the power to recommend to government on increasing statutory leave entitlements as quickly as possible without increasing unemployment. EWTD has no direct teeth but it is effective for applying pressure (by forcing measurement of the hours spent; quantification is the first step). And nobody says that anything actually has to listen to any commission white papers, although likewise having a white paper is the first step to having an implementable policy should the time be right at that point Sectoral collective bargaining (i.e. Germany-style) is, as the graun notes, the really radical change. It is not the policy lede because it doesn't sound very sexy though, and it has harsh implications for the adversarial wildcat-flavoured stuff that still captures lefty imaginations
