peanut- posted:It is four weeks since I was elected leader of the Labour Party. In my acceptance speech I made a commitment to the British people: that I would do my utmost to guide us through these difficult times, to serve all of our communities and to strive for the good of our country. I stand by that commitment. Starmer means business, calling for the urgent formation of committees to discuss the options of what we might possibly do, at some point.

These seven colours are going to be essential to our message so we should put them on the leaflet twice. We want a good range of colours so pick these from across the whole visible spectrum but under no circumstances should these colours of the rainbow be arranged in the order of the rainbow. Connecting our plan with the easily-recalled and widely-recognised symbol of hope, especially during a time of it's current nationwide use in messages of support for the NHS, will only confuse things."

But aye, an anarchist supporting foreign interventionism is well sus. How can you oppose the state and simultaneously support the imperialism of any nation state? Or that dumb humourless twerp who posted an entire thread being mad about Chapo, that was a loving lame anarchist. forkboy84 fucked around with this message at 14:59 on May 5, 2020 |

im sorry if i said something lovely to you about anarchists btw, i do find it a very interesting concept i just went thru a phase where i kept encountering anarchists who were all about invading syria, iran, etc for some reason. the internet has poisoned a lot of minds.

So I was one of the few parents at my son's school to not have problems with the school meal voucher system (beyond them turning up in the spam folder, suitably enough) but now I join my peers in them now not arriving, yay Feel glad/lucky that I don't *need* them with any urgency, and shite for the people that do, and also for those given gift cards only for them to not work at the checkout and leave the parent to either cover it out of pocket or sheepishly say "it will all have to go back". gently caress.

From an email from Sadiq Khan: [quote]Alarmingly, the Resolution Foundation estimate unemployment rising to levels last seen in the 1980s. With a benefits system already buckling, we will need a new settlement that offers proper security for all. This should include ideas like a universal basic income, which is gaining support around the world and would ensure everybody can at least survive. /quote] Lol that Captain Milquetoast is outflanking Starmer from the Left now too.

I'd imagine that they've chosen these 15 as they group together on existing supply chain routes, so they can expand outwards from those as they ramp up. How they're grouped is a different discussion

UBI is such an easy win in this climate, like everyone's hosed for work, the benefits system is shite, cut out all the bureaucracy and give it to everyone and start executing landlords to pay for it (I do not know exactly how this works but I'm sure it will)

Stand with your mouth and other orifices agape in amazement as they show YouTube videos from 5 years ago to no audience reaction whatsoever. Bliss. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r72G-vD1Rnw

I don't know if it wasn't funny because it's a tired format with two tired old men and at least one arsehole guest for balance, or if it was just never funny in the first place and I didn't realise because my critical faculties were lacking or maybe it's a bit of both?

I wonder if part of it is that having the entire internet making the obvious kneejerk snark to every political situation in real time makes it obvious how trite a lot of political humour is. Like, when your only access to a group of dickhead jokesters competing to come up with the best cynical quip to make was for half an hour each week the novelty didn't wear off as quickly.
