Both have their positives. Go for Glenda Jackson I could send Dan Hodges to bed with no TV, go for EU Supergirl and I could live a life of luxury travelling Europe off the dime of horny remain dad's being grifted.

A harder choice than you imply.

Most places, as far as I know, do canvassing even outside of an election. If you really like it you can probably do it all year round.

Definitely. We have Senedd elections in 2021, local town and council elections in 2022 and there are various by-elections (usually town or county council from time to time). Our CLP canvas all those plus in between times just because - there's a 'why don't we ever see you lot when there's not an election' vibe in some areas, so we make sure they can't say that round here.

Depending where you live, OP, there may be town or county council elections, mayoral elections, Senedd or Scottish Assembly elections all in the pipeline.

Oh the other thing about it is - from 2015-2017 we had election after election in my neck of the woods. Then there was 'nothing' bar a couple of town council by-elections and attendance at our monthly meeting (CLP & branch) absolutely plummeted. We weren't quorate several times. Membership was trickling away whether brexit or anti-semitism concerns. Those who DO attend meetings were getting really down about it. Well of course, with the election, suddenly there are heaps of volunteers all over the CLP turning out for stalls, canvassing, leafleting, envelope stuffing and various other tasks. I really think the meeting format doesn't lend itself to enthusiastic participation and it needs something like an election to galvanize people.

I guess because I spent almost 30 years in Corporate 'agenda, minutes of last meeting, yadda yadda, any other business' is one of those things I just put up with. There's one activist comes to our meetings who says it's all really odd and she doesn't get it or understand it. She's a get-out-there-and-do-something don't sit around discussing minutiae of policies, protocols, motions and so forth.She's probably more typical.

So once again the tories and the brexit party have ditched channel 4, this time for the 'anything but brexit' debate. So it's going to be everyone tediously piling on Labour.

I have just seen Angela Rayner make the Plaid guy go into a total breakdown though, so it was worth it for that. And I find Jo; representing herself yet again when everyone else sent a subordinate for the exposure hilarious.

Swinson has nobody else to send. They're all desperately trying to hang on to their own seats.

Tories not turning up for the "anything but Brexit" debate isn't going to reflect well on them. It implies that they're nothing but Brexit.

There is a pervasive culture of antisemitism in the Labour Party that the current leadership has tolerated. Posters in this thread and UKMT participate in tolerating that culture because they are by and large supporters of the current leadership. But you don’t have to take my word for it . . .

I think it is sad that this is one of the things that has stuck. Saying that though I think I was able to persuade one of my co-workers to vote Labour tonight by understanding her views on anti-semitism whilst also saying how poo poo Boris has been and how much good Labour can do. She was at least never going to vote Tory or Lib-dem so that is good.

All we can do is hold on, I hope we succeed. All power to the Soviets (as in the workers councils, not the imperialist power) and I can only hope that we see us all through the other side.

I can't really offer much insight because yeah, such as my experience overlaps with hers it matches entirely. And obviously politically I'm not going to disagree with her. If we had more folk like her we'd be in a better world.

My comfort tunes are definitely the usual old reliables. A lot of metal from the '80s & '90s metal, & my hip-hop tastes tend towards the older as well. Plenty of post-punk & hardcore from the '70s & '80s & all. But for me, I still get the raw excitement of listening to something new for the first time and being blown away. Just that first time listening to a record & knowing "oh gently caress, I'm still going to be spinning this in 2 decades time", it's an absolute delight.

But also I'm lazy so I always end up with a massive backlog of stuff come December because keeping up with new releases is hard. So normally I just wait for all the end of year lists to come out and sample a bunch of them and see what sticks & it's usually a joy where I come across something entirely new to me. (The Bandcamp blog is real good) Like right now I'm playing American Pleasure Club & I have no idea where or who recommended this to me but it's this wild mashup of a shoegazey/dream pop vibe with really abrasive almost Death Grips style moments & it shouldn't work but it does and it's just drat nice.

This is also the only time of the year I think about using Spotify more so their algorithms can get to know me enough to recommend new poo poo but effort.

I really don't want to be "old fart who stubbornly insists there was no good music after Year X" like my dad.

As it came up independently elsewhere, this video is basically what I expect Heaven to be like when I die:

And the only poll that matters is now up, for anyone wondering where "gently caress me now" stands on the issues. The last image has some rather salacious imagery.
