teacup posted:Isn’t his girlfriend pregnant? His Wikipedia article lists his number of children as "5 or 6". I know its The Sun, and its a rag, but the article is still up and he's notoriously litigious: https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/71984...ecretarys-wake/ One of his exes said: "“Any sensible girl should stay away from him. You’ll get the cheery persistence, then the conquest, but when he’s bored he won’t care about you in the slightest." Also, that article was made in 2018, and his latest girlfriend/fiancé was known to exist, but they hadn't pinpointed who she was yet, only that he was yet again cheating on his wife at the time. I'm glad that you care for his unborn child, and the fiancé. But he certainly never did. He did care for one of the women he was having an affair with, once. In the sense he essentially stole public money to pay her off. https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2019/sep/23/boris-johnson-repeatedly-declines-to-comment-on-claims-he-awarded-public-funds-to-friend

Disgusting Coward posted:That's the thing that keeps striking me as of late. I know "Just A Flu Bro" is an eye rolling meme at this stage, but it basically kinda is. It's a slightly pepped up flu. It's the cold, with muscles. A disease that the majority of folks might not even notice they've contracted. Yet it's become this world-threatening, society buckling motherfucker purely because everything's been run so shoddy and cheap for so long. We can't test people because the tests are shoddily-made poo poo. We can't handle all the sick people because the NHS has been slashed to the bone. Doctors and nurses gonna start croaking because eh fuckit why would we need PPE. We can't hunker down because we gotta send folks out to make Number Go Up, and their jobs still require hella manpower because eh fuckit automation's expensive. It's going to gently caress up people who, by rights, should shake it off because public health is a luxury society never bothered investing in, and looking after yourself is only for wealthy folks. We didn't get on top of the Bojo Buggerer 4 months ago because eh, don't wanna offend the Chinese money or harm the tourist trade. We don't have a vaccine because the research didn't seem profitable so nobody bothered their arse. There's no slack or resilience in anything, because that would require expenditure and effort. Clap for the NHS tho! Pray for Bojo! Look, here's the Queen to make reassuring noises! pumpinglemma fucked around with this message at 22:59 on Apr 6, 2020 |

Tarnop posted:How do the "you've no spine if you quit Labour now" lot feel about illustrious leader appointing a TERF to the NEC? Trans folk and allies just need to grow a backbone or no? I think if trans people no longer feel safe in that party that's really sad, and more than enough reason for them to quit. Trans allies, I wonder what they think is going to be achieved by giving up their vote for the other positions on the NEC, or for the next leader, and basically abandoning the field entirely. You can argue quitting in protest helps support trans rights, but I think at the stage we're at we need people present and fighting for them instead.

I wonder if this means Trump has been briefed specifically about this, and knows it's urgent. He always barfs up state secrets after a briefing, it's kind of a tell at this point fingers crossed!!!

XMNN posted:I will literally never stop laughing if trump manages to get Boris pumped full of that malaria drug It is certainly possible. Just as possible is the image in my head of a crew of doctors, frantically working to keep Boris alive, suddenly all have their cellphones go off and a very excited man on the other end shouting "HEY I GOT YOU ALL A GREAT DEAL, LISTEN!" and they all as one toss their phones out a nearby window.

At some point a group stops being something that you think can be changed into one worth supporting. For example, you presumably wouldn't advocate to join the Conservative party in order to fight for change from within. Let's say I look at the vote breakdown for leader and decide that it's pretty strong evidence that the membership collectively cannot stomach the idea of a woman in charge. Or I look at the deputy vote and realise that they definitely don't want a person of colour anywhere near the leadership. At what point does it become acceptable to the party membership police for me to say "this party no longer represents me or the people I care for"?

The only thing I hope is that when Johnson's bloated rotting carcass finally croaks, his putrified remains don't infect any doctors or nurses or cleaners or any hospital staff or other patients i.e the people who actually matter. I do find it pathetic people pull the  card the second one of these evil fuckers either dies, or is close to death - being dead or dying doesn't make all the twisted poo poo they've done in life, and all the misery, deaths, and needless cruelty they've inflicted on others suddenly not matter.It'll be hilarious if after a lifetime of chasing his dream of being Prime Minister, he dies due to his complete lack of fucks given about a pandemic, because he thought it would only impact people he considered lesser.

I think the Lib Dems could well position themselves as the party of turbo trans rights, particularly as this is a wedge issue for Labour that they could drive. The Tories can comfortably say or do gently caress all on the issue and not lose any political capital, so why not? That puts Labour under the heat here. It's a wedge issue for the party's politicians as well as members and voters. I think it's morally the wrong policy, but I won't be surprised if they go for wanting to change the GRA to bring things closer to self identification and away from medicalisation, but doing so with some kind of gesture toward segregating shelters by birth designation. Given that this is the likely outcome, I can absolutely understand if there's a Trexodus should something like this get announced.

Just so you're all aware as well, his death will be a casus belli for the NHS to be sold off and fully privatised. It will be held up as somehow having literally killed the head of the country by being so inept, inefficient and badly run by the NHS trusts.

For example, you presumably wouldn't advocate to join the Conservative party in order to fight for change from within. I think your argument is a good one, but who are they going to support if not Labour, though? You're not likely to get more social justice from the Lib Dems and the Tories certainly aren't a safe haven either. You might as well stay in the political party most likely to lead to positive change otherwise you lose all influence. Bardeh posted:this is from the mail, so im not gonna link it: Assuming this is true and not just some puff piece to create a hardworking martyr narrative, it's striking how much little he trusts his subordinates. I don't think anyone in the country would give a proverbial if he went on sick leave for a few days and handed over the reigns to his deputy - it's what the rest of us do. But he's terrified of leaving them in charge.

No-one is making you stay, obviously lots of people would prefer if you did, and if you want to leave that's fine. But I think it ignores a lot of people who are trying to do their best. The problem being of course is that we can't know what effect our action or inaction can have until we take it.

If Boris Jonson dies, Brexit gets canceled, right? Britain has still quite a year before it. Remember how everyone said that one year of negotiation will never be enough to make that reasonable. I think those negotiations have been a bit less efficient lately.
