its wild that the tories think they can attack corbyn in the debates about national security when he can instantly respond with both the tories sitting on a report about russian election interference and that they've austerity'd the gently caress out of the military

I'm surprised that "Trident can't work without American maintenance, do you really want Donald Trump in charge of whether your missiles work or not?" hasn't been a bigger line of attack. Either we decommission them like South Africa, or we work on a wholly independent system like North Korea. If they can do it then we can do Blue Streak properly.

Labour's line should be to scrap Trident and build homes for soldiers instead. https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/least-13000-hero-soldiers-left-11847000

fuf posted:So uh will someone contact me or do I need to sign up to a specific event or what? help I would recommend that you sign up for a specific event. There are so many emails flying around from national Labour, local Labour (CLP and branch level) and people working flat out that you might get missed. Also with GDPR and local organizers using BCC to circulate details of branch level (if you live in a geographically widespread constituency, you may have a branch structure with branches based around the local towns) activity which locals have signed up for such as canvassing or leafleting, it's quite hard to get to get 'in' unless you're already 'in'. Not everything gets onto the national system especially when Welsh Labour get involved.

This has been 100% true in my experience though brexit has exposed several of my nominally lefty colleagues as brainworm infected lib dems. Mostly EU colleagues mind so I'll give them a pass. E: there are however definitely a fair few who oppose Corbyn on account of him being 'too extreme' (i.e. wanting them to pay a trivial amount of extra tax) despite often spending their entire working life thinking about social structures and power relationships etc, many of them using very Marx-influenced theoretical approaches. But yeah leave that poo poo at the door none of it applies to me obviously lol. Almost as if tenured academics are a part of a privileged middle class bubble. I'd have hoped of all the people in the world historians and philosophers would be able to see the wood for the trees! Oh well. ThomasPaine fucked around with this message at 13:10 on Nov 17, 2019 |

'No eye deer'! That's the punchline, isn't it? Also, bootlickers would question your assumptions. Perhaps the thing to ask is: Better to live for an idea that will live, or die for an idea that will die? (Because I'm helping to kill it.)

after some chat and suggestions i thread together a comparison of voter registration against age bands compared to 2017. there's some obvious caveats though - given how messy the past 6 months have been this doesn't follow the registration pattern of a normal election (...nor did 2017...) - i had originally aligned by royal assention date, but we have a week less in 2019 to register compared to 2017 - to fix this i've added an altered sheet and graphs for Shift, effectively work from the last day of registration backwards (originally i was going for 4 weeks before royal assention to capture people preparing, thus why it has 49 days of data) sheet: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/19BRuYQDh-FmIAOpLVYBIkWoz6Lo7ckuq7euyyVJuqOI/edit?usp=sharing i went with hardcoded formulas for the to date sections so i'll have to clean those up day-to-day, all data is from https://www.gov.uk/performance/register-to-vote/registrations-by-age-group overall while voter registrations look better we are in a crunch period from having only 3 weeks from assention compared to 4 in 2017, so don't take the numbers at face value. there's also the issue of last day vote spikes and how pressure on registering to vote needs to happen this week someone with a better data analysis background check my reasoning, this is just for a rough idea of the differences with data to back it up compared to a random twitter graph Wiggly Wayne DDS fucked around with this message at 14:27 on Nov 17, 2019 |
