Braggart posted:Yes it is too much to ask, you loving melt! A party exists that specifically represents their exact politics of make Brexit go away and change nothing else. But the fact that no-one else wants to vote for the Lib Dems just never shifts their belief that their politics are those of most "sensible" people. The unshakeable arrogance of it is awe inspiring.

Where's the magic Yewtree, Daniel? (His name is Daniel Kawczynski. I looked at the leaflet in the image to figure this out for the joke  )

Thank you goons! I'll be sure to get the Praxiscast live on and will be refreshing this thread like a madman! Also tv licence is such a joke. Nobody on UC in my position could possibly afford it without the consequences of losing out on a weeks food shop or more over that. I'm actually off to a food bank soon because my family have been pushing me to go despite the fact I'm so worried about using up a slot for food that could have gone to a family with kids. Really hoping my effort on getting back into society pays off with a job soon. I've been to so many work placements and interviews.

Perhaps a hamster posted:Have two days' worth of thread to catch up with still, but, what a beautiful gift to wake up to. I think political parties can get access to the whole register including the non-open for electoral campaigns. I might be wrong. When you go on the non-open it means private companies can't look you up on there.

The Extremely Online Election column continues to own bonesquote:Violence is never the answer, even when Matt Hancock is involved. Yesterday, the secretary of state for health and social care and, apparently, aspiring Littlewoods model, visited Leeds General Infirmary, where Labour supporters, in a paid hit funded by Momentum, took it upon themselves to batter him and his aide to death. The A&E department, not having any space left for their brutalised corpses, had to lay them down on the floor, with the children. Boris Johnson is expected to lay a wreath upside down on the tattered remains of his body later today. https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2019/dec/10/photo-fake-tory-punch-tweet-storm-boy-hospital

They're not even being made politically homeless. They're just upset that their not-granted-planning-permission, not-up-to-code extension that blocks light to the neighbours and that they never paid the workers for is going to have to come down. Tortured metaphors 'R' us!

I went to university with Emma Barnett. In Freshers Week she ran to be the student representative to the faculty and made a speech claiming she had been head girl at her school. She had not, in fact, been head girl at her school. Also she used to move required reading books around the short loan section of the library to make sure she could get them. Thank you for reading my Emma Barnett stories.

The investigation, led by the Metropolitan Police Service, started in October 2012. After a period of assessment it became a full criminal investigation, involving inquiries into living people, notably other celebrities,[1] as well as Savile.

Emma Barnett's dad did bad things but she was a teenager when it was happening and it's a bit much to blame someone for not properly reporting crimes of their own father imo

Very bad idea also to get on at her personally, because you know it could be used against Labour. She's from an Orthodox Jewish background, according to Wikipedia, so it could be bad from that angle too. Also it's just not nice to do personal attacks.

Igotadigbick posted:I dont have a tv licence and got rid of anything remotely close to broadcast tv/on demand stuff since I just watch youtube. Is there any good known youtubey type places to watch the votes roll in tomorrow evening that wont impinge on my strict 'dont give tv licence people any excuse ever' policy? I am the kind of masochist that wants to watch every moment roll in sort of because the last two times I've slept through the fanfare we've ended up with tories Might be worth checking out Al Jazeera or RT online to see if they are? Podcast are going all through the night though obviously it's not visual. And as someone else suggested, this thread.

quote:Just reading Thomas Cromwell by Tracy Borman and came across this regarding the Dissolution of the Monasteries in 1538: “Although the king promised to use his newly won gains to build many new churches and cathedrals, there is only evidence that he erected six. Instead, most of the lands from the dissolved monasteries were sold off to the nobles as a way of securing their loyalty and generating more funds.” Plus ça change… from https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2019/dec/10/johnsons-phone-snatch-shows-his-smash-and-grab-tendencies

A Pacific island rose up in arms against giant mining corporation Rio Tinto Zinc (RTZ) - and won despite a military occupation and blockade. When RTZ decided to step up production at the Panguna Mine on the island of Bougainville, they got more than they bargained for."
