Disappointed to go to my local Sainsburys and find all the Easter Eggs are a whopping 50p-£1 off.... or less than they are normally discounted by. SMDH. edit: loving hell, there's a poo poo snipe. £148 is roughly how much I would have needed to have paid for £200 sticker price Easter Eggs.

The Guardian doing the absolute bare minimum, through gritted teeth reporting on the Labour suppressed report scandal. If it had been a Labour right document criticizing Corbyn's leadership, they'd have drip-fed it out over a fortnight of front page headlines.

At least the NEC is setting the terms for the enquiry rather than just him. How likely is the NEC to be tough on this, given there were some union people involved? I really, really, hope this wasn't the case. I'll be on it for the first 45 minutes so if they get around to a general Q&A session while I'm still on the call, I will ask whether there's truth in this.

Nestle are awful, but also don't begrudge the little pleasures people can find to make life bearable. Not sure how I'd survive the grimdark future of Tory Britain if I wasn't allowed chocolate oranges.

Even if you don't like Zoom it is still worth packing out that call to at least show the the membership thinks its an important issue. If no-one bothers to take part it is going to be another signal for them that the impact of them sweeping it under the carpet will be minimal.

Jaeluni Asjil posted:I guess what I am doing here is giving Starmer the benefit of the doubt that he was unaware of much of this, which is open to question. After all, the stuff about McNicol deliberately hampering investigations has been 'known' to members on the left of the party for a long while even without direct evidence. The difference between 'known' and provable is so huge though, this is actually concrete, this is something we could be referring back to still in 10 years. And that difference between 'known' and provable is loving maddening sometimes. Like as an engaged outsider you see all these weird moves, odd statements, really specifically strange articles and moments in interviews and it all adds up in your head and suddenly you realise 'oh gently caress these people don't actually want to win' but its completely not-provable because it's a mental composite. It's hundreds of small moments suggesting that idea with zero moments disproving that idea and it's not something you could ever tell or show someone without 50 hours to make the powerpoint and 6 hours to present it. It's like the Cassandra tragedy you have this profound knowledge but are structurally not able to communicate it. Especially compared to the spurious nothing-talk shite that fills the editorials and the BBC panels it is literally maddening, the power vs truth contradiction has grown so huge now that fucks you up mentally it makes you weird. I'm still reading through the document but it's already been so loving good for my mental health that the shadowy evil cunts are less shadowy now and practically this document is a useful tool, this is a weapon we can use God bless the leaker they have done the lords work inshallah.

IM going to plot myslef on this later. I invented in my brain ages ago an app that you would use the CA stuff and you would point your phone at things in the supermarket and it would plot you psychometrically in this GGG but with like real people and things too so like if you buy these cookies you are in this little gaggle with trump and the undertaker from wwf and inspector gadget or whatever.

Should Starmer ever become PM, at least know we know exactly how he'll regard government whistleblowers. The same as every other PM Looking at various photos of him, I realised he looks like a man who's just been asked, "Have you stopped beating your wife?" and is utterly flummoxed about how to answer.

Dead babies is the least of it - an awful lot of contemporary chocolate growing involves child slavery. Nutella is (sadly) doubley cursed since it's hazelnuts also involve child labour.

Nah I'm Bristol based, we have quarterly national meetings in London though so if you've ever been to one we might have met. elbkaida posted:Do you have electronic versions of the pamphlets somewhere? Would much prefer that to getting something via mail. Unfortunately not, some of the contents are reproduced on the website and elsewhere but we keep the pamphlets to physical availability only. Because of COVID 19 we are going to be producing an online pamphlet on ecosocialism in the new month or so rather than a physical version and that will be available on the website as well as an online launch which I imagine will be a public Zoom call for people to dial into and have a discussion about it.

Coohoolin posted:so this is all fine and not a completely loving terrifying indication that the british government are off the wall english nationalists Aye, pretty grim. Has there been an official response from the UK government yet? I'm assuming their line will be that health is a devolved area, therefore they're not responsible for sourcing PPE for the Scottish NHS - but it's not going to win them any votes north of the border that's for sure. I can't imagine they'll tough this one out for long.
