Ooh ta, bit of programming of whatever type is something I might be able to do ok. Assuming that's the "support" role?


Yeah, I think that’s under “support”. If you think you might be in the wrong group once you get contacted, just let them know and they’ll sort you out.

Is there much of a call for tech work on a volunteer basis, either for Momentum or Labour? I'd like to get involved doing something, but I fear that computer touching is possibly my only valuable skill.

Oh gosh yes. I'm afraid the Labour Party is extremely 'average member of the public' when it comes to IT / social media.
I'm one of the most IT literate in our CLP. I mentioned before some analysis I sort of started on polling station level voting (though as I have had other matters on my hands for the last few months I've abandoned it for now and won't get to do more before this election. I will pick it up again though when I've finished moving home for ongoing strategy.

Also, another example, just 'awareness'.
For example, our candidate (not sitting MP) has started a wordpress.com blog for their thoughts. Someone has suggested buying up several relevant domain names and pointing them at the blog. BUT you can't point domains at a wordpress.com (free blog) unless you buy them through wordpress.com. (Try it - all you'll get is errors). So what I have suggested is that they buy the domains, make a simple single index page for each domain that has links through to the blog (which you CAN do). But I just don't have time to do it. Anyway, one of the others' young son has said he can do it but he was someone who wanted to help but is very reclusive. This speaks to his talents though!

So the six o'clock news just showed the clip of Corbyn saying the Tories want to sell off the NHS.

And Keunssberg (in voiceover) immediately said "Of course the Tories don't have plans to do this".

Couldn't you just bung a 301 redirect into the .htaccess file for the domain you were going to put the index file on, so when someone visits goatsay.domain they get seamlessly redirected to goatsay.wordpress.com without having to click?

That way you're not pointing the domain, but you don't need the index or extra click.

SKY and BBC are gonna go all in this time round, corbyn isnt a joke anymore and now the election is actually gearing up they have reason to be frightened.

the BBC of course, being a government mouthpiece, does this anyway, but Sky can take a more hostile tone to the tories when there isn't an election running now. but now the election is here its gonna be full class interests time for the rich and watching out for their jobs for the BBC crowd

As far as I was able to ascertain when I tried to do it with a freebie blog of my own, you have to pay wordpress.com a hosting plan to get it to accept a domain 'forward' or 'redirect'.
The htaccess method is touching the upper limits of my tech ability.

They're only obliged to give each party equal time, not fair coverage.

And if you ask the Tories they will deny having plans to sell off the NHS, therefore the BBC can officially say they don't.

Also notable they didn't play any of the stuff about 'which side are you on?' which was apparent the best part. Labour best keep repeating that.

That's a bit more custom than just DNS entries, though, and requires a server for the bounce step. Unless there's some place selling that as a service?

They'll try to poison the water as much as possible before the postal votes go out because the postal voters might already have decided and post them back before the campaigns crank into full gear and the 'reporting custom and practice of equal time' kicks in.

You hate ridden fucks will regret your words when you eventually grow up.

Peace.
tbh, save for IT focused groups, with average-person volunteers it is better to put together the moolah to just sign up to somewhere, unless your group is just you and five mates or something. This is generic interest group advice, not necessary a party political thing (although it applies there too)

reason is simple: backend stuff that other people have very little visibility over is a font of mischief. The most likely of which is just the relevant individual getting bored and ghosting. If it's big enough to have an exco, it's big enough to have a website budget and a mailing list. Free is organizationally expensive

still, on the blog note specifically there is nothing wrong with a .wordpress or .typepad domain. Hell, Medium built its success on even subdomains no longer being a thing.

they're really more guidelines and nobody of consequence will be punished for them either way unless they lose, so its in their material and class interests to go as hard as possible here, the fake polls are one thing but this is real now. its gonna be a true test of media v reality.

the guidelines also don't stop bias or anything as far as I know, just means they have to show traitor corbs as much as saviour bojo, at least thats what i read ITT

Set up on a independent hosting solution (IIRC BlueOcean does one with all the hosting stuff preloaded) and get your software through Wordpress.ORG. Then you can do all the pointing, redirects, extensions, custom themes you like for free.

I do that for my personal websites, but I have sadly tried to bring my clp kicking and screaming into the 19th century. Our CLP website at the moment is hosted free on someone's server and he hand codes it in HTML (which I can also do and a couple of my sites have done so). He will only work via one person in the CLP and everyone is scared stiff of upsetting him. He has however done a link through to our candidates blog so that is something.

I did a presentation to our exec on the wonders of wordpress and so forth including screen captures of other CLPs' websites in action, but I'm afraid to say the response was 'we can find what we're looking for on ours' (yes but can non-member interested persons?) - as our beleaguered clp secretary said to me afterwards 'this lot think a biro is high tech'.
