Slovenia is p. cool if you enjoy the eastern european aesthetic or want to heckle Slavoj Zizek, I guess.
Slovenia is very pretty and green, but it rained torrentially every single moment we were in the country. Then as we drove towards Italy, in the distance the clouds ended in an almost cartoonishly straight line with clear blue sky beyond. My wife joked "That'll be the Italian border."

It actually was. :stare:

Also, make the most of travelling freely around the EU because A: it's a fantastic experience to see how varied everything is, and B: you won't be able to for much longer.

I only heard of [Ian Murray] recently when he responded "because I'm not a oval office" when a journo asked him why he wasn't mad Corbyn hadn't stepped down yet a day or two after the election.

So he’s a liar as well as a oval office then.

Ian Murray spent more or less all of the last 4 years criticising the Labour Party, rather than, you know, the actual parties of government in Scotland and the UK, on just about every issue. And don't mistake "criticism" for its constructive sense, it was pure knee jerk contrarianism all the way

He's also, allegedly (and these allegations come second hand from people who have reason to dislike him, so take with some scepticism), a pervy gently caress when it comes to young women in his clp/office

Also, for what it's worth, other MPs thought he was a oval office too

Yeah if I don't have a free upgrade I'll pay for a repair on the phone instead but that's still more than a free upgrade would cost. With the laptop I spilt a little bit of coke on the keyboard and a bunch of buttons have already stopped working so I think it's safe to say it's trashed.

Quite a few credit cards offer 0% interest for the first year so it's not a bad idea to sign up for a new one if you know you'll be able to pay it off in that timeframe.

Shitloads of paper towels, put the laptop upside down on the edge of a table so the keyboard presses on to the towel, give it an hour or two and see.

Then if it works, you get all the fun of pinging the keys off with a flathead screwdriver and cleaning it off with cleaning wipes!

Depends on the model. Some laptops are more likely to have seals and drip trays now than 10 years ago.

The EU subsidies that the government are between one and three years behind in actually giving out? THOSE subsidies?

When I was working for a local wildlife trust the government owed us like 300k in back-dated EU subsidies.

But it's super important to make sure no one individual is claiming like, £100 a month extra tho

Yeah, Murray is Scotland's Jess Phillips. If have a wistful longing for the days of Blair and want to live out the timeline where Yvette Cooper won in 2015, vote Phillips/Murray.

On the sexual misconduct allegations: being a very active member of the part in Edinburgh (though not Southern), I've not heard anything like that. Not that I would be a part of any whisper network, but it hasn't come up even from people who would want to smear him, in contexts where they'd want to smear him, and who would plausibly be included.

What I did hear, once, several years ago, is that he's regarded as some as a... stud? Sex symbol? By Labour Students/young spad types. Something about them talking up the size of his dick? I don't really remember the details at this point but it might have been the same thing getting garbled in transmission.

I think your subsidies might be LIFE related or was that paid out through the CAP?

Also, yes the amount of ridiculous control hoops I had to jump through when I was running a fairly big nature project over here were insane. Never sent so much useless paperwork around. Though, gotta say, I was amazed that when they sent letters with questions it did seem like they read every last scrap of it.

Quick thought: we might wanna do a Podcasting is Praxis episode on food & farming, would you be up for contributing to that?

I was made redundant from that job over a year ago so I don't remember the details tbh.

I do have a mic now, though, so I could theoretically come on the podcast> I have to confess to not having listened to much of it yet though.

"People that own things" != "the capitalist class", and convincing people otherwise - that owning your own home (or co-owning it with the bank), or shares in nationalised industries sold at a discount, or having a pension based on the stock market aligns your interests with Alan Sugar rather than your neighbours - was the greatest achievement of the neoliberal project.

Yeah this can't be stated enough, you're never going to win over an ideological enemy through sheer earnestness. That said like most speeches of this type the intended audience isn't the government benches but the people who watch the video on twitter.

God I hope labour gets better at actual effective skulduggery, corbyn was too pure for this world and I really think we could do with a max intrigue character not afraid to literally intimidate, blackmail, bribe, trick, coerce, and generally use whatever underhand method necessary to gently caress over the tories at every opportunity. Probably not the leader - you want a charismatic 'good guy' for that (or at least someone who appears clean), but definitely a deputy. Yeah, what I'm saying is the labour party should form a cheka I guess.
