One thing that did stick in my mind about the broadband proposals is that they promised to reach the most remote areas first, so the highest density and easiest to reach areas, ie the bulk of private companies income, isn't going to be touched for a while. It's quite possible that the nationalised service would only be attempting (with whatever degree of success) to fill the gap in service for a decade or so before everyone gets a bit tired of this then old policy and sells off the new infrastructure to a business somewhere. If I had to predict the long term outcome of this proposal it's that we'd eventually be too lazy to sustain socialism and end up selling off the infrastructure.

Jel Shaker posted:I wouldn’t actually be surprised if jo did spend her evening murdering small animals That's exactly it - people make decisions based on feeling, including voting, and whether it is true is basically irrelevant to whether or not people CAN picture you as a pig fucker or a squirrel killer. No-one even halfway sane would believe it about Corbyn, or even some of the softer tories like Ken Clarke. But they'll absolutely believe it about Jo Swinson, and that is a completely insurmountable problem for her.

Guavanaut posted:When people who aren't Jews do it I get immediately suspicious of their motivations. The idea as far as I understood it was to basically dilute it so it stops being useful- if Jewish and non-Jewish people put echoes on their names, it makes it impossible to use as a marker anymore, sort of like the same idea as cis people putting pronouns in their bio. But the whole concept is so deeply unsettling to me that I react viscerally to it every time.

Heated discussion with my old man; "Corbyn is a cock" "W-what? How? Explain." "He just is. All politicians are as bad as each other, but he's worse than Johnson. Labour would be doing better under a different leader." "Explain how he's worse than loving Johnson. Also I've literally heard that tired poo poo since Corbyn was elected *explained all the poo poo that's gone on over the last few years, and slander and such, and Corbyn's actual effectiveness in opposition.*" "Hmm...okay. I'll look into it." (Still can't/won't explain why he thinks this) "Seriously, look into it. They've got a manifesto coming out. If you want me to explain poo poo, ask." "Okay. Libdems are still trash right?" "Yes. And voting for the Tories is voting for the nonce party." "  "Pretty sure my UKIP voting stepmum's broke his brain over the last few years.

Trickjaw posted:Awesome. The filth are a bit ahead of the cash hitting their till, I was taking a box of tools to our base because of boards and such and got stopped and searched. I had soooo many snarky replies, and was too feart to use them. The only time I was snarky was he pulled out a lump hammer "This is an offensive weapon" "Only if I use it". I was asked if I was a handyman and nearly exploded. Earlier this year I was defending a client accused of shop lifting from a super market. The State's case was he paid for most of the goods but tried to sneak some out. The defence was he was in a lot of pain following an eye injury and that he and his girlfriend were so distracted that it was an honest mistake. I'll never forget it because the security guard was obviously someone who saw himself as a Detective just stationed inside a super market. A very angry guy, he flew off the handle and started ranting about why the girlfriend wasnt also charged with Theft (explained that's the job of the State who to prosecute.) He also did no favours when I put it to him that the self service tills aren't big enough to store all your items and most people would put their groceries on the ground. Thus why my client made the mistake about which goods he had paid for and which he hadn't. The guard went nuts and started saying that the shop had conducted extensive tests and said how they could hold shopping buskets with a family's worth of goods, and the only reason for anyone to not use those side trays is if they were trying to steal from the store. I then just rewound the CCTV until I saw a granny struggling with her shopping basket and leaving it on the floor beside the machine like my client. He didn't have an answer for this but continued being very aggressive. In the end the Judge really wasnt impressed by the security guard and dismissed the charges against my client. That was a very good day at work. Plus I think it's a great example of how someone's temperament can effect their credibility as a witness.

jabby posted:https://twitter.com/MattChorley/status/1196836023537487872 It's interesting just how closely they're tracking - if the manifesto release goes the same way there's going to be some very squeaky bums in Tory HQ. I doubt they'll manage to gently caress up quite as badly as they did with the dementia tax, but at the same time all of Labour's more radical policies this time around seem to be landing, and if they can keep that up that might be enough to overcome the Tories not pissing it down their legs quite as badly.
