Throw asparagus in, with a bit of salt. Sauté for about 3 mins til it gets a bit of a char on it. Done. You can add a little oil if you want while cooking, or a little butter after, plus whatever herbs you like. E: And you should sauté cabbage too. None of this boiling crap. EE: And brocolli and kale.

If the British media thought Varadkar the Irish Taoiseach from our Tory Party was a tough Brexit negotiator. Wait until Gerry is given an honorary position on the Brexit team.

The human cabbage stir fry was offputting because it was human meat, but it was well prepared, so I find myself ambivalent overall. However there were no available table places at the time I wanted to eat it, and therefore I am going to attempt to kill everyone I see for the next five hours.

As a foraging restaurant it really took the concept to the next level. I had to dodge a few fellow diners but the inconvenience was compensated for by the exquisite fresh dishes.

In 2017, oddly. Though IIRC that was the party position at the time. I'm fairly sure she's said exactly the opposite fairly recently so maybe she personally thinks otherwise? E: From the recent novara interview for example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1s8eJDaOgV0&t=2383s E2: yes she literally completely contradicts the 2017 clip: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1s8eJDaOgV0&t=2552s "The fact is that the number of migrants coming into the country is not depressing wages" I don't know what to say I guess other than labour was touting the "we will use the end of free movement to solve wage undercutting" argument and corbyn himself got a lot of flak for it. Whether she's just bullshitting now or whether it represents an actual difference of belief I can't tell you, not having access to the inside of her head. She does make the case at much greater length though, and is explicit about blaming the problems on the government, not immigration. I don't think I could make a more convicing statement of it myself? Either she's a good liar or she seems to think it? OwlFancier fucked around with this message at 04:18 on Feb 10, 2020 |

I mean that was the "charitable" interpretation of labour's position in 2017, but they moved to a better position in 2019, and in 2020 bailey is espousing, at least, what I think is a good position on it, insomuch as a position other than "open borders now" can be, at least. Whether that represents a break with the party's historic position and a genuine expression of what she wants as leader, or whether it's pure politicking, is up to you to decide, alas. E: promise me please that you will shoot me if i start to sound too much like ronya. OwlFancier fucked around with this message at 04:38 on Feb 10, 2020 |

Supporting free movement is easy to say, depends what is supported alongside it. https://labourlist.org/2020/01/nandy-sets-out-strong-defence-of-free-movement-in-key-speech/ Nandy is trying to thread the needle of supporting free movement and migrant workers, while emphasising training local people for jobs as well. I think that's a decent position and what the 2017 manifesto should have aimed for.

WhatEvil posted:This loving sucks from RLB. Why's the finger jabby person having a go at RLB for what Starmer is saying? Stupid twat. I share your sentiment and from what I remember the ONS shows a wage-depressing effect that's barely noticeable, so it is a missed opportunity to make that case, and to highlight that bosses and not workers are to blame. That said, every single loving time I try and argue that wages aren't depressed due to immigration, it's disbelieved and appeals to evidence are disregarded with "you can show anything with statistics". Maybe she's taken the view that with the Question Time audience it's just not a fight that can be won with the average leave voter in a 20 second answer given the current zeitgeist, and to a certain extent you have to deal with the electorate you have, and not the one you want. It's going to be interesting to see how, and if, the candidates actually try and take on some of the deep seated prejudices held by many voters in the lost seats while simultaneously hoping to win their vote back at the next election. It seems like a daunting task to me, short of some mass public information campaign which Labour don't have the resources to do.

I've had a cig to calm down & honestly I think this has just cost her my first pref. I didn't think she was a winner, but I did think she was a socialist. Not that it makes much difference, since Auntie Em's probably going out in round 1 & the other 2 are still poo poo.

We are so hosed and I am so tired. Maybe the posters in other threads are right to say that what happens in the UK doesn't matter. Every time something new happens we get filled with lanyards and the old just going "better things aren't possible" and people believe them. I hate this entire loving thing. Also I lost my phone yesterday. gently caress.

We need a complete evisceration of Thief and Cash Cow dichotomy if we're going to get through this argument, which means acknowledging that both sides of that argument are at their core anti-human and xenophobic. In turn that means we need to speak out about the actual drive behind EU expansion to gain access to a pool of workers thought to be sufficiently Aryan to not set off the racists (how wrong they were) but economically precarious enough to be exploited easily by industry. We need to talk about the economic effects of having a highly mobile workforce at the whims of capital with absolutely no voting rights and how to remedy that, and we need to talk about the racist double standard of free movement for Euros and deportation for British Subjects who fail the paper bag test. That's not something that can be done if the conversation is stuck on the economic cost-benefit spectrum, but I'm not sure the best way out of it. Perhaps reframing the issue as one of disenfranchised workers and fast track citizenship, "how is it fair that someone working here can't vote here?" is a simple ethical appeal (although of course opens up a vulnerability to a "people who aren't working shouldn't get a vote" argument).

If you don’t want the next labour leader to play politics you’re going to get the Corbyn treatment every time. How long can you cope with that? It’s unfortunate but right now the idealised Labour leader is one that just convincingly lies and appears as a inoffensive centrist while somehow we all know it’s just a front. Yeah it’s not realistic but that’s where we are. Because we won’t be allowed to win with an openly socialist candidate. Something the prospective leaders are probably aware of.

But regardless of what's allowed, we can't win with a candidate who can't energise our core base, and no way am I knocking on any doors telling people that actually our migrant friends & neighbours can go gently caress themselves. I can see that there might be a line of thinking that Brexit's gonna be over by the next GE so we should just try to avoid pissing off as many people as possible for the interim, but the fact is that the fate of our EU comrades is gonna be decided in the next year or two and we should be fighting tooth and nail to make them welcome.
