Not to mention comparing taxing the rich to the Holodomor comes across as a little offensive to people who aren't lead poisoned boomers.

The butterfly meme, but "Is this purdah?"

Jeremy Corbyn was rocking out last night after the resignation of his deputy on the first day of the election campaign.

A source close to the leader's office and far from that oval office Tom Watson said: "I didn't know Jeremy could jam like this!" before launching into a rendition of Oh Jeremy Corbyn.

The Corbyn Stalin thing is playing out exactly how the tories want. They've got a regular brigade of people justifying it for the extremely online tories, but for everyone else they're just gonna see 'Tory MP called Corbyn Stalin' on the news with no further explanation and go 'yeah he is isnt he!!'

Strong doubt. I think most people in this country are tired and hosed off with politicians of all stripes rather than angry and furious right now. Outrageous claims about Corbyn are just going to piss them off and drive them away from Johnson.

Imagine the debate between Corbyn and Johnson. If the Stalin stuff got brought up live on air, and Corbyn laughed it off or called it ridiculous and insensitive, who do you think would come off better?

People do seem genuinely tired of negative campaigning and personality politics in general. I've said before the difference between the Trump and Clinton campaigns - and the Leave and Remain campaigns for that matter - is one side offered a clear, easy-to-understand vision of a better future, while the other only offered "Get a load of these arseholes". It doesn't matter that the vision was bollocks, it was *something* that people could grasp as a way out of their lovely situation.

Like you said, it's harder to speed up or slow down an AC induction motor, you either need a whole bunch of gears, or to increase or reduce the line frequency as you do same with the voltage, otherwise they tend to stall or catch fire. But once you can do that, it's very easy to do regen, if the motor's spinning faster than the line frequency, it acts as a generator, slower and it acts as a motor. Far nicer than anything to do with shunt wound DC motors. But Variable Frequency Drive requires big solid state stuff that only existed from the mid 90s on.

The first trains to do that on the underground were the '95 and '96 spec, which entered service on the Northern and Jubilee lines 1997-2000, but even they didn't use regen, only rheostatic brakes. Later build trains for Circle, District, Metropolitan, and Hammersmith lines went back to using brushed DC motors for reasons I do not know. (Probably :10bux:)

Depending on which line you're on, they probably sound like they have gears because they do. The AC ones have a gearbox as well as a VFD, the DC ones are I think just coupled to the axle.
