I mean imagine living in a country where ~corporate rights abuse~ is an established narrative. Not by appeals to some other idea either, like "maybe we need to accept that as a consequence of us basing our economy on corporations' legal personage" or something like that, just "corporations suffer abuse, and are unrepresented by any government agency". I'd go legit insane

Owen Paterson getting real loving angry on Today at the idea that we might sacrifice fishing rights for financial passporting in a future trade deal with the EU, which makes me wonder what party (and what country) he thinks he's been part of all these years.

Sanitary Naptime posted:Weird how they kept projecting their own failures onto corbyn. It's because they can't envision anybody who isn't exactly like them in every way. This informs all of their politics but interestingly it doesn't address why they're lazy and still "successful" while laziness is what makes poor people poor. The reason they can't do that is either because they're psychopaths or idiots.

I'm having to wait four weeks for my GP appointment (and that was a lucky cancellation with a random GP at not my usual surgery). I'm supposed to book using the NHS App but my new account is borked and I'm waiting on my support ticket to be resolved.

It's nice how we have public sector care being run for-profit by Donald Trump clones. There is publicly available audio evidence to hand and the company can put out a statement like that denying reality. What a cool & good country.

Still RLB, the only socialist candidate. The bigger question is who to hate more: the one who's already openly talking about taking power away from members & giving it to councillors (wonder why) & whose only qualification is having dangling prime ministerial external genetalia, or the one who's sort of a leftist but mostly known for trying to oust Corbyn & looks quite likely to throw immigrants under a bus at some point.

The first one. Someone who tries to throw migrants under the bus but doesn't take away power from the membership can be challenged by the membership. Someone who takes away power from the membership can't be challenged by the membership without a huge fight, and then will probably go on to throw migrants under the bus anyway because it plays well with the Sun and it's not like the membership can do anything (and the Guardian will still fawn over him while ignoring his ~pragmatic choices~).

Anyone see the thing last night on the guy that was drugged/raped/murdered at Michael Barrymore's house? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Barrymore#Death_of_Stuart_Lubbock https://www.channel4.com/programmes/barrymore-the-body-in-the-pool The whole thing is bizarre and sad. It shows the police to be staggeringly incompetent. It has interviews with ghoulish tabloid journos who straight up joke about the entire thing. Also the family who are still devastated (the poor brother just seems completely broken). The crazy thing is there were only 8 people at the party and 3 of them (including barrymore) that were suspected of actually doing it. Barrymore comes across just terribly even trying to say that the rape happened to the guys corpse at the hospital (they proved that dead bodies can't bruise so that was shut down).

Gort posted:Wait, when are the leadership elections? I haven't heard poo poo ed: ^^^^ Are you in the Labour Party? If so then your CLP might be having a nomination meeting as the candidates need nominations from a certain number of CLPs / Unions / Affiliates to get on the final ballot which will be announced next week at some point. Our CLP is having one this weekend for all members. I guess some CLPs aren't having one at all, and others might be doing the 'behind closed doors' thing. Our CLP sent out two emails informing about the meeting. Leadership / Deputy Leadership voting opens end of next week (not sure actual date and can't be assed to check) and you should get emails with voting information in as before. Also I think there is voting for some NEC reps at the same time.

Caught a few minutes of Woman's Hour in the van just now - do they regularly have TERFs spouting anti-trans rhetoric without any challenge whatsoever, or was that just today? Jane Garvey quite obviously agreed with the guest, and just let her say whatever she wanted without calling her up on literally anything she said.

There are 11700 fishermen in the UK. Many of those fishermen are actually EU nationals, employed on British registered ships who will probably leave after Brexit anyway. The national GDP contribution is even tinier than the jobs- the entirety of agriculture is a half of a percent, and fishing is less than 5% of that. Fishing is never going to be an important part of a modern economy. It's a joke that the fishing industry has been such a huge part of the national conversation. It doesn't even need to be compared to the obviously gigantic finance sector. Ever heard a single thing about contact lens manufacturing? circuit boards? Much bigger industries than fishing, which have much more room for growth and which will be significantly impacted by this trade deal.

I'd rather have Starmer than Nandy because I'm a selfish immigrant and I think she's far more likely to throw me under the bus than Starmer. For branch nominations though the important thing is to bear in mind why both of them are very lovely for the purpose of arguing with people. I didn't turn up to mine, Starmer got the nomination, and honestly I feel kinda lovely about it since it would have been easy to cost him a bunch of support (again, privileged af over here, this is how democracy works). I did have a lovely evening doing something else though, & I think everyone except for drunk auntie E has the nominations they need, so I'm not sure it matters anymore? Although maybe helping her get the nominations would be a power move, since almost everyone will have RLB as either 1st or last, so maybe Thornberry could help push one of the shittier candidates out of the race in round 1 if she gets lucky? idk, haven't thought about how STV works that much

Niric posted:This x 1000. He's got excellent politics, is a lovely bloke and manages to generate genuine enthusiasm amongst activists (especially younger ones), which no Scottish Labour person has managed in a long time. It's going to loving suck when Jackie Baillie wins despite being one of the most detestable, arrogant grifters who entirely personifies the miserable state of Scottish Labour in 2020. These stupid cretins just seem incapable of learning from 13 years of miserable failure (& tbh the rot set in before the 2007 loss). Which loving sucks because if Scottish Labour wasn't a corpse of a political party 2021 might actually be a chance to make some gains, between Derek Mackay, the Alex Salmond trial coming up and the general stagnation that comes with one part being in control for so long. Alas it'll probably be the Liberals & Tories who make gains if the SNP do fall back.

One of the pro-Baillie speeches last night was like "I hear people saying she'll take us back to 2010. Well, we were doing pretty well in 2010 so that's fine by me!!" I mean. Dude. On giving councillors more power: this sounds like a good idea except for the part where the councillors are unambiguously, no contest, the worst people in the party. It's where everyone with ambition but no skill or conviction ends up. That might change if they got to actually do something, but I'm making my support conditional on rounding up the current crop and firing them into the sun first.
