KOGAHAZAN!! posted: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!!" The problem with councillors is that they are part time jobs demanding full time commitments if you in power for pituful salaries. Cut the number, increase pay.

You'd have to explain to them why it's bad first and then you gotta talk Kissinger and most people don't know who he is either. It's a bad look but not a winner for the leadership.

"Labour party members who are involved enough in politics to vote in the leadership election" is, and those people are much more likely to know what socialism and Kissinger are.

I live in what used to be Bailie's constituency and good lord do I want to see the wheels come off her completely. We're one of the most deprived constituencies in the country and it's almost entirely on how she and ScotLab ran it into the ground.

Hahaha Holy poo poo that's the most lib analogy ever. e like, it's incredibly on brand to completely conflate landlord rights and abortion rights for lib, but man is that not a take I expected at all. In fact one of the most influencial pro choice philosophy papers argues something similar except instead of tenants it's something that broke into your home, regardless of if you left the window open or got a fancy security system. The argument already exists, why modify it to be shittier?? Miftan fucked around with this message at 13:11 on Feb 7, 2020 |

Jameela Jamil is pretty solidly Correct on most social issues, but as ever, she's rich, so she's imperfect and prone to a lens of privilege. I didn't know she'd come out, but it's not even slightly surprising. That is a terrible analogy though.

As for the second bit...ascribing the myriad causes and effects of 40ish years of post-industrial decline and the cultural, economic and political failure to deal with it "almost entirely" on a Scottish Labour, who besides anything else were in power at Holyrood for less time than the SNP have been, is a hell of a take.

The work one is the most socialist, pregnancy is work, going into labor is work, that's why they call it that, and if judged by the standards of other work it would be incredibly dangerous and underpaid, and you can't demand anyone finishes a job. You can sue, but you can't hold someone captive without the ability to quit. stev posted:gently caress me this is dumb.

I dunno I haven't followed it closely. I read the article, and it does seem like something a little... post facto justificatory... but still not really surprising. I don't think there's ever going to be a case where coming out in response to something except maybe like... pride month, or one of the awareness days, or whatever... will seem like anything but a post-facto justification. It sucks that it seems that way though; the fact that queer peoples' narratives are always 'assumed to be straight until explicitly stated otherwise, and sometimes even then' in these situations is kind of a problem. Borrovan posted:fwiw the shinigami eyes chrome extension* flags her as a good-opinion-haver, and it tends to be pretty trigger-happy. She is very, very definitely not a terf. She's said trans rights like, a lot.

The backlash against her was for being cast as a judge of a ballroom competition, an area she openly admits she knows nothing about, that means a whole lot culturally to a whole lot of people.

Just a couple of women equating transwomen with 'male rapists', and then complaining that people have the temerity to 'abuse them online' by calling them TERFs. It was pretty gross, and I was pretty shocked at how they were allowed to state this stuff with zero pushback whatsoever. On a brighter note - it was bloody lovely out there this morning:  Bonus Big Pipe In A Field:  Laid in the 40's apparently, it's gotta go now though because they're widening the road

It's because the British liberal class balk at the idea of someone using lethal force to defend their home environment (whether owned or rented), but are fine with an absentee landlord evicting an unworthy tenant who later dies.

Also they're assets, not homes. Some of them are aggressively far from being homely, where the whole point is to stop you feeling like you belong there so you won't complain too much when they turf you out.

You can illegally sub-let. You rent a flat with a double bedroom (so you are not a homeowner). You then sub-let the double bedroom to 4 Romanian girls while kipping round your girl/boyfriend's place thereby making twice as much rental income from the illegal sub-let as you are paying the landlord. I personally know this happens.
