Still super funny that the only strategy left to the lib dems is literally attempting to trick people into voting for them.

They have anchored their campaign around Boris as a charismatic, popular, and effective campaigner but he's been poo poo, mostly because he's notoriously lazy and relies on getting laughs. He's struggling more than May was at the same point in 2017 I'd say and clearly not up to a long campaign where he's under immense personal pressure, Tuesday's debate is going to be very interesting. Expect that Wednesday's front pages have already been written though.

For those of you receiving election leaflets (dodgy or otherwise) please upload them to https://electionleaflets.org so we can catalogue them  Additionally if you're in contact with a candidate or their press team have them fill out their details and/or photo on https://whocanivotefor.co.uk as a lot of the press election widgets use this database as their backend

By the looks of it, it's basically more austerity.  quote:The government should run a permanent spending surplus, the Liberal Democrats have said in a bid to position themselves as the toughest party on public finances. Also the irony of talking about fantasists, while also talking about a Remain/Revoke Brexit Dividend "Bonus" or whatever the gently caress.

Delving down the rabbit hole of the cube building that caught fire last night. Apart from the very dodgy ownership of the building as a whole. Urban student life, the management company, is registered as Valeo USL Ltd https://beta.companieshouse.gov.uk/company/10947713 Their accounts are overdue They're owned by Valeo USL Holdco Ltd https://beta.companieshouse.gov.uk/company/11108297 And they're founded by one Ted Rollins, a US venture capitalist who founded Valeo Groupe So we have a US venture capital fund acquiring a UK student management company, with a history of fire safety issues, managing a building that failed its 2017 post-Grenfell safety check, and whose ownership is obfuscated behind a holding company that has no existence outside company's house.

Just had a sharp reminder to self that many people are clueless about what I assume is 'common knowledge'. So easy to assume most people know the same things I do. A labour person on my FB posted a list of Jo Swinson's voting record. Some other labour campaigners have commented variations on 'that's really useful, I didn't know any of that, good to know for when we're canvassing'. I'm thinking 'how can you not know that?'

Reveilled posted:I feel like the best way to turn back the tide in westminister for Scottish seats might be to forcefully shunt independence down to the Scottish Parliament level, with a position more along the lines of "Labour is opposed to independence, but we respect the right of the Scottish parliament to call a referendum on the matter", which is kind of the current position of the UK leadership, but absolutely not the position of Scottish Labour, which muddies the waters. One of the things which damaged Labour so heavily was a feeling that UK Labour didn't care about Scottish concerns, a message of "We will listen to the Scottish Parliament" might work towards undoing that. I don't think it will turn SNP voters back to Labour right away, but I think it will work gradually if those Scottish voters who moved to the SNP from Labour feel like they're being listened to. This is basically what I think. Scottish Labour are starting from a point of no credibility. They can't be the No party - the Tories have that sewn up. A policy that it is up to the people of Scotland is probably the only way to regain credibility on the issue.

Ojo posted:Same way you'd ask a white person. So in the vast majority of situations, not at all. Azza Bamboo posted:What would inspire a person's curiosity about someone else as to become inquisitive about their heritage? Simmer down, I would if for example they had an accent I didn't recognise. Obviously it's often a form of racism where someone is like 'where are you really from' over and over again and not taking 'Birmingham' as an answer for very obvious reasons, but surely in the first instance sometimes it can represent just a genuine desire to know know about a person's social and cultural background. This is of course going to depend on where you are too and what the demographic makeup is like - asking it of a Polynesian guy you bump into working as a fisherman in northern Russia is very different to doing the same to random shopkeepers with brown skin in London. Also yes, I would agree that in no situation is it an acceptable thing to lead with, but could in some cases be alright once you've developed a rapport with someone? I could be very wrong here of course, so please do tell me if I am!
