Hey it's time for some incredibly dumb Northern Irish news! There's been a lot of talk in the media since the announcement of the election of the upcoming contest in Belfast North, the seat of one Mr Nigel Dodds. This is a rare SF/DUP marginal and has been a key Sinn Fein target seat for the past few years since about 2010 when the combined Nationalist vote outstripped Dodds personal vote causing a great degree of panic among Unionism prompting the UUP to withdraw from the seat to give him a clear run in future elections - however SF have managed to increasingly close the gap regardless.  The last election saw SF get their vote out in records numbers, in part thanks to good candidate selection (now Belfast Lord Mayor John Finucane, son of Pat Finucane) and the DUPs current Westminster shenanigans (Belfast North voted remain by a very slim margin), reducing Dodds majority from 13% to 4.5% putting a mere 2081 votes between between SF and the DUP. So when incoming UUP leader Steve Aiken openly rejected any pacts with the DUP as this election was called, accusing them of "blackening the name of unionism", the sudden prospect of a UUP candidate peeling off a few percentage points sent Unionism into a very open and public panic. The UUP hadn't run a candidate for some years and garnered less than 8% of the vote and it would be somewhat surprising if a candidate in this election could even reach those dizzy heights considering the party's continued declining fortunes since then. Aiken's open refusal to pact with the DUP promoted a very swift backlash though with an open letter being published in the Unionist inclined Belfast Telegraph from various Belfast Unionists (including members of the UUP) decrying the decision as handing victory to Sinn Fein. The police even got involved as threats where issued by the UDA against UUP election staff telling them that if they run in Belfast North there will be a "response". In the constituency itself there was a chilly reception to the news, Unionism has a thing about "Unionist unity" and traditionally the constitutional question trumps all come election time so even though Aiken's decision was applauded in liberal quarters it didn't exactly please Unionist voters. Now today, after this story has been gradually building all week Aiken has performed a public u-turn and said actually no we won't run in Belfast North but uh this isn't a pact https://twitter.com/SJAMcBride/status/1190999109718724610 Of course doesn't mean the election is any less of a dog-fight but it is a little reminder that ultimately the DUP can leverage the constitutional question to their advantage regardless of all their other policies - Also makes the UUP seem even more a pathetic mess than they where going into this election, not running in this seat had become the standard but announcing they would contest all seats and then publicly backing down may drive some more liberal minded Unionists voters towards Alliance in other constituencies.

Welcome to the 19th century, tenants of mine! I will let you use the heating over Christmas as long as you vote Conservative in the upcoming election. But not too much. Didn't your grandmother knit you a jumper or something? Oh she died last winter? Too bad, I liked her. I was able to jam her hearing aid whenever she got shirty. And the life insurance policy I took out before installing her locked thermostat paid off very handsomely. Incidentally, how are you all feeling? Any sniffles I should know about?

Ockham might point out the Nest thermostat is wireless so physical access is not necessary, and that the box might be to try to prevent it being easily stolen as they're not cheap devices. Does the tenant have access to the controls, or not, becomes the relevant question.

happyhippy posted:Hey man, couple it with this: This is extra funny because that the candidate they specifically said they would support as an agreed Unionist candidate is publicly refusing to confirm if he'll run again Though the DUP staying away from Fermanagh & South Tyrone was always gonna happen tbh - the seat has been the tightest of tight marginals for too long and the DUP don't want to get they whole Lundy treatment they like to dish out against other Unionists who run against them for running in a seat they probably couldn't win on a good day. I also don't see F&ST swapping back soon anyway.

The original tweet isn't really wrong - Labour's need to keep the unions happy could potentially lead to some bad environmental policy decisions, not sure why this is controversial? unions aren't magically revolutionary and leftist, once they hit a certain size / life-cycle point they become bureaucratic institutions whose role is self-reproduction and keeping their members in a job, and this might end up contradicting the goals of a wider leftist movement.

I think you could do quite a nice online campaign around this, by sharing pictures of [poo poo thing near you] and asking the rhetorical question- "Would you vote conservative for another 5 years of this?". Politics seems abstract until you explain it in terms of potholes in the road, queues in the hospital and rough sleepers. Once the manifesto comes out you can start connecting each [poo poo thing near you] to a labour policy that'll fix it. There's a danger the focus on local problems can rebound on your local labour MP or council though, so you need to be prepared to link the problems to failure at national government level.

It's happened before, it'll likely happen again. Working with the unions isn't perfect, but it bypasses that problem by ensuring that the protection of jobs and living standards is an integral part of the model, and is therefore a far better solution than the Greens can come up with. The Greens' approach is the environmental version of revoke A50: all well and good if you just want to harvest a few votes from single issue voters and know full well you'll never be in power, but it isn't actually a realistic solution because you'd never actually be able to implement it. Also, y'know. Support a union. We should be ensuring that our environmental policy protects jobs and living standards, and the labour movement has proven to be literally the only thing capable of doing that out of all* of the things that have ever been tried. *both

If you like silly key reuse then I reccomend Deviant Ollam's presentations on youtube on the subject. I think my favourite is when the name of the key is just the bitting code inscribed on the key itself and they rely on people not figuring this out.

It's happened before, it'll likely happen again. I think this is something the Green movement struggles with sometimes. I think the point is that any transition to a Green economy (hate that term) has to be a just transition and can't leave behind the large sectors of society that are going to have to fundamentally shift; from people who work on oil rigs to dairy farmers. Look at the yellow vest movement for an example of what happens when misguided environmental policies come up against people's daily struggle. A policy of 'save the planet at all costs' is not going to be popular among the people who are going to have to pay those costs - which will be the poor and vulnerable and the working class unless the transition is focused on them from the start.

CGI Stardust posted:devil's advocate: Swinson isn't entirely wrong from the LD point of view. They're assuming that politics has restructured entirely around Brexit and Leave / Remain, in which case the good council and EU election results for LD in that district might become a better predictor than the 2017 result, and the graph almost (with a bunch of twisting around in the ol' brainpan) makes sense - Full Remain vs Full Leave and we don't understand what Labour are doing and neither does anyone else. Did you see the survey question the graph was produced from? Absolutely nothing to do with the Euro or council elections. They literally asked people 'if only the Lib Dems or Conservatives could win, who would you vote for?' and put the result in a graph.

Shatter the fucker. Guavanaut posted:What's interesting with the Bolivian system is that coca is no longer very much a cash crop. The vast majority (de jure all of it, but in reality something like 95%) is now grown to be chewed, made into tea or flour, it's largely gone back to the way it has been grown for millennia. People willingly went back to that system because it's preferable to dealing with cartels. Wait, I’m just catching up on this magnificent discussion but you are saying that Bolivia no longer exports coca illegally at all? Because otherwise they have money to launder.
