Erm, I hope it leads you to a deeper understanding of the nature of currency, Jonathan  Edit: I'm trying to burn 345 pennies for the transformative high that I've heard you get. It's not really working, and it's just hurting my hands. Like, really badly. I'm gonna give this another half an hour, but if it still doesn't work I'm going back to weed.

This is a solid link, and (to me at least) is a lot more immediately persuasive in refuting antisemitism accusations than even a very good but wordy article. If I knew anybody who halfway believed the smears I'd show them this and ask if they know of any other racists committed enough to their deep cover op to do a lifetime of anti-racism work first.

Do not tangle with left-wing rappers. They are smarter than you. On second thoughts I'm wrong. I agree with your advisors that you are in fact smarter than everyone. You should definitely tangle with left-wing rappers.

Lol, the problem with purdah rules is that you have to give Corbyn equal time to refute the allegations , rather than just smother out any other news story , and I don’t know how you can go anymore nuclear than using the chief rabbi at this early stage

jacksbrat posted:Breaking my lurkstreak to beg for reassurance that the UCU strike is going better for others of you in it. Where I am I just feel outnumbered not just by people not striking but people who voted for the strike but are now not taking part. Extremely medium day on the picket at my building too but others around campus are reporting good things. The strike is bigger than what any one person can observe and it's sometimes hard to see past the cold drizzle. People came around last time and can do so again - momentum builds. Make sure any on the fencers know about the strike fund and how easy it is to claim. I got the max amount of money back last time due to my laughably precarious situation. The anti union laws that have been in place are there to demoralize and frustrate worker action and yet people still picket. I believe JC when he says these rules will be revoked. Labour are going to edge it and suddenly we're in a whole new situation.

Even if the Tories get back in in future, they're going to have to deal with a vastly stronger workers' movement. This is what the Tories are really terrified of

Failed Imagineer posted:E:^^^^^^^ lol snap Hubris. Just hubris, carefully cultivated by a lifetime on easy mode, during which they are constantly told that they were born to rule. Never meeting any real challenge, they never develop any real skills or intelligence. They are actually incapable of winning any contest that is not stacked in their favour. They underestimate their opponents by default because they are not aware of their advantages. This is why as soon as the difficulty raises a little bit, they fall flat on their faces Of course this applies to the posh ones. The not-posh ones are not pampered like this, but they are misled to side with the posh ones.

I've been feeling incredibly low all day. The non-stop hammering of the anti-semitism drum is just so relentless. I even occasionally start thinking thoughts that are veering close to racist about it. This is of course the whole point - the Tories want us demoralised and doubting ourselves. If they were serious about stopping racism they wouldn't be just so loving *triumphant* about it. Anti-racists are frequently angry, often strident, but always loving *serious* about it, but the Rileys and the Gnashers and all of them are crowing. It's a loving game to them. Even knowing this in my mind though doesn't stop it working on my heart, though. I think I'm going to take a little while away from any kind of news media (including this thread), watch some dumb films and play Infinifactory. Maybe cook myself loving ridiculous for dinner, do a bit of hoovering, and just get away from the toxicity. See you in about 20 minutes cos I can't loving help myself, lol

Just remembered that tonight is Corbyn's turn to do his Andrew Neil interview. This attack was timed so he spends the whole interview defending himself from the charge of racism, and not talking about policy. The whole thing is so disgustingly cynical it makes me sick.

Purple Prince posted:Isn't Gove a rap fan? There's every chance he's just being stupid and awkward rather than actively Doing a Racism. I honestly doubt he's trying to be racist. He's succeeding, because racism is mostly not in the intention, but in the reception. If he had an ounce of sense he'd retract the tweet and apologise, but I doubt very much he will. And yeah, I'd echo a lot of people ITT about feelings generally about the election. I daren't allow myself hope. I've been too disappointed, too many times. But if not for the fact that I'm possibly still infectious and passing on a nasty cold to dedicated campaigners at this time in a campaign would be a VERY bad idea, I'd be doing my best to get out there. For now I'm viewing self-care and infection control as more important.

Yeah Gove is a weird swamp creature and also a bootlicking Working Class Tory, to the point Cameron and Osborne thought he was a disgusting toady. The right wingers have this tendency to think that they can reappropriate anything they like for an aesthetic and political purpose regardless of how weird and gross it feels to everyone else, because they don't grasp that not everyone sees politics as a funny game of memes where the aim is to score for your team. This is a middle class disease that comes from not having any skin in who wins or loses, and every young Tory I've met is united by the confidence that they'll be fine regardless of the outcome, so why not play the selfish team?

The only silver lining is that while Andrew Neil is a massive Tory, I genuinely don't think he's necessarily an unfair interviewer. So he'll certainly devote time to it, but I hope it won't be allowed to derail the whole thing. Lord Dubs intervention is a great one here, because at least Corbyn can wheel something out to take the pressure off. We've just got to hope he doesn't get tetchy because he doesn't come across well.
