Brendan Rodgers posted:It's not even about that really, it's perfectly rational. The entire premise of the Labour right wing is that the left have nowhere else to go and they can take us for granted, that's correct if everyone just loving folds and votes for them anyway. What's the best case scenario then? 5 years of Labour, 5 years of Tories, and then we try again? I'd rather watch them burn and refuse to piss on them. Some people won’t survive another Tory government. They ‘might’ survive a lovely labour one. Maybe.

ronya posted:there's a great deal of active revisionism in it and I sense that Hatherley sees himself as publishing a manifesto rather than engaging in a historical narrative the closing section confuses me. quote:London’s government should not be afraid to be confrontational with the powers-that-be, in the interest of its citizens. The powers the gla has managed to squeeze out of Parliament, compared to its cousins in Cardiff and Edinburgh, has been minimal. Demand them, and put them in the London Plan, the only really powerful instrument the Mayor has. If he won’t, the gla needs to change the Plan, something the campaign group Just Space has already called for. and does he mean for the London Assembly to override the Mayor's London Plan if it isn't radical enough? by his own admissions the LA is a powerless body that only exists to wield a rubber stamp for approval. That's interesting that Momentum has an organised slate to shift the LA Labour group leftwards after the next election, but then what? what can they actually do in conflict with a more centrist Labour Mayor, when presumably Khan wins a second term.

I've got a corona q if anyone wants to do a science So my dad's been buying these https://www.virustaticshield.com/ and it has a "unique anti-viral coating" which lasts "up to 3 hand washes" so you should "wash sparingly and only when necessary" as far as I'm concerned that's bs, you treat any face covering as if it's contaminated and you wash it as soon as possible, you definitely don't let it hang around for a while to marinate and then put it back on your face next time you go out. My dad's annoyed that I "think I know better" even though it's literally marketing blurb that I have zero reason to believe anyway does anyone know if there's anything to this at all? is there any coating out there that gives more protection than actually washing the thing?

Brand new shiny pod episode for you all to enjoy - we recorded before the weekend so missed all the Churchill piss, but there's plenty of good stuff in there, including wild Epstein speculation. https://twitter.com/PraxisCast/status/1272609213483802625?s=20 Since we've even got a fancy guest star in Hussein Kesvani, this is the bit where I shamelessly beg you for retweets and things on behalf of the podcrew.

I am sure the fash section got much more power in the Greens when all the lefties left to join Corbyn's Labour - how could they not? The way to make the Greens more left again is to join them, just as the way to make Labour more left is to be a member and vote in internal matters. It's much easier with the Greens because they have more democratic structures. (But of course they also have less societal impact.) I'll go back to the Greens as soon as it's clear the Left can't win any battles in Labour.

A movement backing the Greens like Momentum did whilst having a party that isn't the Tories or Labour would be a good thing. They just have to get over their image of 'well they couldn't win though could they'

It seems weird just how prominent Trotskyites are at all levels of right wing politics in this country. the trot-neocon pipeline has been posted about here before and yet, shamefully, I remember little. It's def notable that the "revolution is the only thing that matters and I will throw every last minority into a meat grinder with my big racism dial" mindset has a tendancy to produce poo poo people, a mortgage away from Thatcherism at any moment. e; maybe it's because they were founded by an actual 70s stalinist (e*3 no they werent) ee; this loving wiki page is wild eee; of course the above is the wrong revolutionary communist party. splittism is rampant.

Yeah I was really just wondering if "wash the drat thing every time you use it" would ever be the wrong advice for something you're not going to throw away. Like "avoid washing" sounds like really risky advice? And no there's no specific info at all lol so I'm just treating it as marketing, just wondering if something along those lines is A Thing that's definitely being used in clinical settings or whatever

Like "avoid washing" sounds like really risky advice? In my opinion it's more likely to be some kind of hydrophobic coating, if anything, in order to try and repel the droplets carrying the virus. If that is what it is their only real dodgy action was to give it a silly name instead of saying 'hydrophobic layer'. This is assuming it's not just bullshit. Costing 20 quid but only lasting 3 washes is pretty loving bad though.

I very much doubt you would succeed in doing that, for a wide range of reasons. Big Len might be amenable after the dossier, though.

The "virus proof" mask almost certainly contains silver nanoparticles, of varying quantity and quality. Google oligodynamic effect - note that most of the research is on bacteria rather than viruses, and there isn't much on the effect upon cov-sars-2. Not a doctor so I can only say what I am doing - stay at home. If you can't stay at home wear a mask and wash your hands, and if you wear a mask wash/dispose it.

They specifically mention a "protein coating", so gently caress knows - FWIW silver is effective against some viruses, but obviously trying to find information about it gets you deep into Alex Jones World pretty quickly. Personally I just use a scarf, and keep it sterile by spraying it with toluene every ten minutes and so am both safe from the coronavirus and the pan-dimensional snakes that live in the faces of strangers.
