marktheando posted:I've been too addicted to Death Stranding to watch debates or read this thread, how was the debate? My impression from the media is that Boris won? And that the crowd groaned when Corbyn talked about the impact of climate change on the world's poorest people, sounds about right. Can't blame you for being addicted to death stranding, I keep having to stop playing because it's hard as gently caress to play drunk tho. The debate went pretty well, I felt. Johnson was a disingenuous oval office the whole time and Corbyn wasn't at his strongest performance but while a majority think Johnson "won" it 2/3rds though Corbyn did a good job compared to 3/5s for Johnson. Oh and the galaxy brain brigade have been screaming that Corbyn pronounced "Epstein" too Jewishly and that means he's an anti-Semite

Mentioned at work today to my friend/colleague that I was applying for a proxy vote. He had a look at the form and said he needed to get on that too. We joked about voting for the Lib Dems, he's literally a communist and used to pester us about forming a union and has a no gods, no masters tattoo. When I asked how he was voting (he's Scottish so SNP felt possible) he said... the Greens??? lmao and wtf m8

They are notably less melty than the England & Wales Greens. It's why the arguments from Nat supporters that they wish the party was further left but it has to be a broad church to win support for indy fall flat with me, the Greens are better than the Nats on everything while still being pro-indy if that's your thing. With the added bonus of receiving 40,000 more votes than the Lib Dems in 2016. Mind you, not sure there's much point voting for them for Westminster, they aren't going to win a seat. More's the pity. https://twitter.com/barneyfarmer/status/1197196285939462144?s=20 forkboy84 fucked around with this message at 17:57 on Nov 20, 2019 |

Breath of fresh air. the closest thing is Andy Wightman going to one of the terfs' meetings once and then getting seemingly forced into making a twitter apology shortly afterward. unless he starts Just Asking Questions at some point it's very possible it was just a genuine ignorance of dog whistles from a guy who's spent his life caring more about land reform than queer theory. i mean there are probably some members somewhere with grumbles but it's nice to see a party actually telling people to cut that poo poo out when they mess up publicly

Sanford posted:At a major, major charity today (name three big charities off the top of your head and odds-on you've got it) and had to listen to one of the trustees ranting about how if Labour get in then everyone will need charity, and there'll be no-one left to give it. I hate myself for it but I had to sit quietly - not worth losing the contract and therefore my job in order to tell an old oval office he's an old oval office. Ray of hope as I lef though- my main contact at the organisation talked to me in the lift about how she doesn't necessarily agree with what he was saying, and we made a few increasingly left-wing statements to each other without outright declaring any political allegiance. We got to the ground floor, the doors opened and she said she was going straight back up so I stepped out the lift and she said "[Sanford]?" and I turned round and she said "For the many" and the lift doors closed and it was like something out of a film and it was great. Drove home with a big old smile on my face. e&w: https://www.gov.uk/government/publi...lection-special scotland: https://www.oscr.org.uk/guidance-and-forms/guidance-and-good-practice-for-charity-trustees/ don't know of an effective reporting mechanism though

Breath of fresh air. The individual in question is cautious to avoid identification so all I'll say is that I know the person who drove this policy through, more-or-less on a single-handed crusade for trans rights, and that they are extremely good people. Scotgreens are good, would be strongly tempted by them were I in that bonnie land.

quote:Swinson says that Corbyn and Johnson only know how to rehash ideas from the past – “whether it’s the 1970s or the 1870s”. Swinson is by contrast relatively up-to-date. She knows how to rehash ideas from the 2010s, the only period of relevance the Lib Dems will ever have in this century

voter registration closes midnight next tuesday 26th november at 11:59pm - register! https://www.gov.uk/register-to-vote here's the stats with a week of applications left to go comparing all of 2017 to where we are in 2019 now:  yeah the 55+ age band have more registrations now compared to the end of voter reg in 2017. what i don't know is if this counts all voter application submitted, or fresh voters - this could just show how many people are making sure they're on the register or updating details the real surge in applications is in the next week, especially the last day so don't let the current deficit for <45 get you down. the section at the bottom for To Date shows applications are up by 38.58% across the board, with the lowest being 25-34 at 21.39% which could be due to saturation (there aren't any official figures for # of voters per age band although i do have an experiment involving ONS population figures, quasi-official turnouts at the age bands and reweighing polls against that rather than the the pollster's weights) speaking of i'll go check if kantar have disclosed their data for yesterday's poll yet raw data: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/19BRuYQDh-FmIAOpLVYBIkWoz6Lo7ckuq7euyyVJuqOI/edit?usp=sharing bit clearer:

I've been really optimistic about the election - plus how can I convince someone else to vote Labour if I don't think they'd win - but having a bit of a wobble today. If the Tories get into power I don't know how I feel about another five years of this poo poo. And the knowledge that media (print and digital) dominates opinion regardless of experience or even empathy, it feels as if the chances of any future left government is slim. The effect capitalism has on the environment, or health, education means the future looks increasingly bleak within our lifetimes, let alone the next century - we can't survive capitalism. And if the conservatives got into power are we meant to wait another five years for the chance at losing again? It is putting the future in the hands of those who won't be living in it, a bequethment of turds. Does an entire country lack the confidence for something better rather than putting up with more poo poo? Anyway, I'm going to make a calzone for tea and stuff it with chorizo and brie. Treat yourself!

CoolCab you said that my obvious joke screenshot was too obvious but there's a furious man in my replies trying to debunk it, including retweeting me with a correction and replying to everyone who replied to me with a screenshot of the original manifesto. Naturally I've accused him of doctoring the screenshot to protect Dear Leader and that the Cult of Swinson is truly terrifying.

Also even if they win a majority that's only going to make them more unpopular by the next election. Plus it's entirely possible we fight them to another hung parliament which is the most lolworthy outcome.
