Kojima pivoted hard into "Big Boss is actually good" some time around MGS3 which is why 5 ended up such an incoherent mess, cuz he had to somehow walk the lines of "Big Boss is a war criminal who built an entire nation because he didn't get to kill enough people" and "Big Boss was actually anti-nationalist whose heart was in the right place".

I could rant for hours about how much of a loving mess MGS5 was and why it had no reason to exist.

On the other hand going around causing trouble for everyone by being a tremendous shitheaded troll with a bangin' soundtrack was great fun.

The Republic of Luna Equestria is a huge, socially progressive nation, notable for its punitive income tax rates. Its compassionate, cynical population of 714m are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich.

Real talk that obviously sucks, it's a textbook example of what McDonnell was talking about today that infrastructure spending isn't just an investment that pays for itself with incoming revenue, it also guards against events like this that cost a loving ton of money to repair the damage, way more than the prevention would have cost, and economics aside also cause so much disruption and ill-feeling.

Didn't it turn out Rachel Swindon was actually a wife guy? Something like his wife stopped using Twitter and he'd just stolen her account and was pretending to be her after his account got banned?

So, while we gained a few seats in 2017, the main thing the surge did was put us close to close-ish in a bunch of places. So there's reason for hope. Whether any of that potential is going to be realised is a different story. Obviously we don't know yet whether we're going to be able to replicate the 2017 miracle in this election. I'm hopeful, but I'm not going to put money on it just yet. This election taking place after a year of constantly pushed-back deadlines means I think Brexit is a lot more of a focus for many people (if you look at the polling since the last election, you can the plunge begin sharply around March (insert standard disclaimer about polling)), and that's specifically a problem in Scotland because, as seems to be our main problem in Scotland generally, the SNP are seen as more credible on our position than we are. So that's a negative.

What's positive is everything else, the nonsense with Frances aside. We're having a belter loving opening to the campaign season, but more than that, motivation and organisation are through the roof. I can only speak for Edinburgh, and only anecdotally, but what I'm seeing here is light-years ahead of the 2017 campaign. Then, we were exhausted, things looked bleak, and the direction was a meant. A whole bunch of energy was put into South, ffs, the only Labour seat in the country, while N&L and East in particular were massively underserviced. This year we have energy, manpower, hope, coordination. My CLP has even concocted some scheme to send Blairites to convert Tories, which strikes me as trying to disinfect a wound by pissing on it, but whatever.

If you're in Edinburgh and you're looking for a good offensive bet, North and Leith is probably the best. If you'd rather play defensively, I'd look to Midlothian.

e: I forgot that Davidson and Kezia are both gone, which can only be a plus.

Thank you, that leaves me feeling more hopeful than I was before :)

It sounds like we are in a reasonably good position given the legacy Blairites we've been stuck with, and at the very least we should emerge in a better position after the election. And maybe we'll get some nice gains :toot:

I canvassed there in I think 1983! We went to an estate that had all just bought their own council houses. It was peeing down with rain. Every house was politely 'no thanks'. Then we got to the last house. The couple called us in, sat down in their kitchen with us and fed us tea and biccies. They started with 'this lot round here all think they're the nobs now they've bought their own houses. We have too but we're still voting Labour'. Within a few minutes it turned into an absolutely horrendous racist diatribe. We couldn't get out of there fast enough. They're what I would call 'natural UKIPers'. (One of my nans was - supported everything Labour except for 'the darkies').

Purely tactics you want to waste as much of their time as possible and give them the most untrue information possible. So if you can stomach it talk a long time, invite them in for a cup of tea obviously make it lovely and pale so they get no pleasure or pep from it, pretend your whole family will vote however you do. Leave them thinking that you would never ever vote Labour. If you've kept them there for like an hour then absolutely indulge in the "I actually think poors are human and Tories are scum get the gently caress out you worm" punchline but technically speaking it is better for them to think they have a safe vote with you when you're the opposite.
