Lmao Sinn Féin leading the polls in Ireland, the kind of energy required to cope with this stupid Tory government.

Also Panelbase Scotpol poll out tonight putting SNP on 50/47% for constituency/list polling, and an overall support for independence at 52%.

That was in the post-Altern8 era where they forced them to play to backing tape but sing live, which seems like the best way of pissing off every single act that came on. It did lead to this though:

According to the youtube undertext Cobain was attempting to mimic Morrisey (and I have no desire to hear his version so your idea is far better).
Mind you the text finishes with, "despite these ridiculous antics, the crowd goes absolutely insane" so I suspect that account "That Time Punk Rocked" might be missing the whole point...

My favourite piece of miming period ToTP fuckery has to be Killing Joke doing Empire Song in the absence of Jaz Coleman (who'd run off to Iceland to get ready for the apocalypse, as you do).
Cunning use of someone-not-Jaz in a beekeeper outfit and Paul Ferguson miming both vocals and drums gave us this oddness. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uSYJmWkehWQ

One thing to note about the Irish GE poll is Sinn Fein haven’t fielded enough candidates to get a majority even if they get every seat. But being the most popular party they would be pretty much required coalition material

Somehow I never saw that one. Did they at least try to make moves in time to the music? Who played? Alex Paterson vs ...? (Pretty sure Wobble and Hillage could have mimed their bass and guitar bits) e:Should have asked Jimmy Cauty for how-to-mime-the-impossible tips.

By the small-world rule I wouldn't be too surprised to learn that the not-Jaz under the beekeeper hat 10 years before was actually Alex in his pre-Orb Killing Joke roadie days.

It's funny because earlier we were talking about how everyone was feeling like we were on the verge of a Corbyn Moment, but nobody could agree if it was going to be the elation of the Labour Wave in 17 or the crushing horror of the December election. People were getting ready for both.

And somehow we got NEITHER. And it's WORSE.

Historically they have only ever had a few TD's elected.
This election is a ramp up of their operations, but I dont think they had enough vetted candidates to properly field multiples everywhere.

As it is, they had one candidate go out and use some incredibly racist/homophobic language to describe Leo which saw him get the boot.

The other thing is, it's STV with quotas, if quotas are hit at bad times before transfers come in, and the vote is spread too heavily across all 3 candidates, you can lose out if you're unlucky.
It's not typically an issue in Scottish council elections, which use the same system, but they don't have too many independents gumming up the works.

The Dem field so perfectly encapsulates modern America though - a baby boomer with a rapidly-liquefying brain who says he's entitled to be in control because he's old (and has one black friend so calling for the imprisonment of everyone darker than underdone toast is fine), a woman who uses invented Native ancestry to excuse every misdeed, several men with no actual ability or talent who are unaccountably richer than God, and of course the man who's been involved in every flavour of American imperialism and hegemony of the post-war era who has directly caused pain and suffering to thousands but he's gay so it's alright.

Also all of them are white apart from two "good ones".

I don't think it's actual vote rigging, just some lovely IT stuff developed in a hurry and paid for by Buttigieg channelling campaign funds to some buddies.

Then it's late, because all IT stuff is late, no time to test it just deploy it now!

And then every candidate can latch onto pieces of fragmentary evidence suggesting that they're going to win, and some of them are dumber than others in how they express this.
