it is absolutely incredible how incompetent the tories are like everyone expects them to prioritise the economy over public health but only true doom murderheads like us know that they will negligently gently caress both

XMNN posted:Ian Hislop is a smug twat and have I got news for you has many questions to answer re: responsibility for bojos rise to power, but his comment on Boris pretty much sums it up The one thing to remember about Boris is that he is indeed an idiot, but he's also a vengeful and relentless bastard and will stop at nothing to either get his way or punish those he thing has wronged him. There was a WDTATW episode on him where it was mentioned that his acquantances were terrified of speaking up about him because he had ruined people's lives in the past for speaking out against him.

Stop arguing about who is dumber when half the population of both countries are basically the people who support The Party from 1984. I somehow find it ironic that a respiratory disease resuscitated this thread.

Tbh none of the parties are covering themselves in glory here. Iirc loving Lisa Nandy was the first major Labour figure to go "this is nuts" at the gov response and got told to shut up by the coop faction. She earnt my 2nd pref at least. I have quite liked RLBs proposals but tbh it's easy for Labour to chat poo poo from the sidelines and it took them way too long to even do that and they were far too measured. SNP can absolutely get hosed forever though, nicola just going along with bojo saying gently caress all. Lying about Scottish community testing. As an aside, how amazingly orwellian and British is it that they've rebranded their pitiful testing efforts that result in nobody being tested and not tracking the virus as "surveillance testing" the only thing the gov does anymore is media management and theyr trying to PR the virus away

Nandy's slowly grown on me, I know her politics are melty at best and Blue Labour at worst but she actually seems like she's campaigning to win and shown initiative in having good oppositional responses to the government, which is this race really makes her the outlier.

We are required to hate Nandy but love Speccy Wrong Daily. But I don't really get why and nobody has ever produced any compelling reason other than vague spooky noises about Blue Labour left nationalists which tbh sounds more likely to win than repeating Corbyns playbook but with a different substitute teacher. She's also the only normal looking person in the race since thornberry dropped.

Fair enough if you want to vote Nandy, do it, but personally I think left nationalism is not actually good even if it might win. Nationalism is cancerous.

Oh yeah I've already voted for RLB with no 2nd preference and have zero regrets over that, but her campaign has been a wet fart from start to finish and no one here expects her to win the thing at this point. Nandy's just been the only one in the race to show any game, and it's nice to see one person at least trying to win.

forkboy84 posted:No, they had no point except to make it easy to portray Labour as disunited. I voted Speccy first. I just think the left isn't gonna win if we leave patriotism solely the domain of the right. British people are super loving nationalist. The old thing about more Palestinian flags than union Jacks at socialist and labour rallies looks mad to normal people. The common refrain to the left of "don't talk Britain down" is basically true, it might help to hide our hatred of this putrid shithole. I'm just not sold it always turns to racism considering the Scottish nationalists are more pro immigrant than any English party. Sinn Fein and Plaid Cymru are better than either of our 3 parties too. And the many liberatory nationalist movements around the world that had to throw our lovely rear end out their country. Could be helpful to throw Westminsters lovely rear end out of ours. And frankly I don't think the idea that the government should concern itself with the country it runs is a bad one. Especially considering what the UK has done while meddling in other countries.

Real change will never happen until many more people hate this poo poo heap of a country with the ever-burning passion we do. Don't be tempted to think how to bait the gammon hordes into grudgingly supporting us; think how to turn more people socialist.
