kingturnip posted:The only thing Keir's 'strategy' has going for it is that Boris is the Prime Minister. When covid-1 is dealt with and the Tories kick Boris out of a window and usher in someone else, Keir's hosed. depends who gets in. also depends on it happening, obviously if boris wants to go i think that will do it, if he doesn't it gets much less likely. this was his life's ambition is he going to give it up quickly? if its rishi and he gets the media onside kier is completely hosed if its priti or gove kier has a shot for different reasons, i think his best shot is vs gove

We are charging headlong into probably the most apocalyptic recession this country has ever seen. There is no one the Tories will be able to nominate to avoid that, especially not the face of the economy Rishi Sunak. As painful as it is to watch, Starmer saying nothing and committing to nothing and being a completely blank slate is almost certainly going to end up with him as PM.

They can't even dig out the foundations of a building without hitting the Central Line (and it's telling that the three different stories similar to this I found when searching weren't actually the one I was thinking of and I hadn't even heard of two of them), every builder in London would be telling stories about mole children if the pedo tunnels existed. (Incidentally I'm still working on the post about the actual secret network of tunnels under London but I keep getting distracted by the helicopter hovering over my house all the time when I start writing)

I will never cease to be amazed by the human capacity for insanity, in terms of the response to 'maybe we could just make things a bit easier for vulnerable people' to somehow respond with "No, the mole pedos want you to wear masks to harvest adrenochrome! Only the objectively worst people on earth can save us!"

The recent folding ideas video about it is a good watch. Broadly it is easier for people to double down and rewrite reality than it is for them to accept vulnerability and culpability.

The last "proper" one I tried to use I had to take off because when I was doing anything at all exerting I ended up waterboarding myself with my own condensed saliva. So I definitely am not a fan of the synthetic fabric ones.

Guavanaut posted:Why would you even need tunnels when we have powerful nonces walking around in the open and nothing gets done? It's the secret nonces you have to worry about, I guess. There's a story in the Mirror about Johnson considering lifting the rule of six for christmas day (because apparently covid takes christmas off? IDK), which does make big brain genius sense from a PR perspective sadly because it means a week prior to a no deal brexit, you'll have the papers fawning over him for letting people see family at christmas... then the infection spike this causes will be all over the news at the point where the immediate impacts of no deal start hitting hard and fast.

There would be a certain karmic schadenfreude from the tories amassing a huge brexit fund, by fining all the gammons 10k each for breaking the christmas curfew. Lazy journos, there's your onomatopoeic attack phrase.

It's from here https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/politics/boris-johnson-considering-lifting-rule-22712388, rule of six meant to be in force until the beginning of December except off the record for longer so idk. And yeah - people would ignore it anyway of course.

Anything done within work environments or organised sport is exempt from the rule of 6. 'The Rule of Six' is the name of a oligarchy in a fictional novel. Prove me wrong.

About a real book Hypnerotomachia Poliphili--a renowned text attributed to an Italian nobleman, a work that has baffled scholars since its publication in 1499. I finished the book and still don't know what the "Four" referred to.

That does depend on how many people the tories can insulate from it, which, of course, their core base of bloodthirsty pensioners, almost entirely are. Of course it is possible (probable) that labour will run on "we won't raise any taxes" and simply be the tory continuity party. Which will be much better, of course.

For a few short years I did believe children lived in tunnels underneath London. In my defense I was a child and it was all my dads fault. He took me to the Natural History Museum when I was six. On the tube he told me to never let go of my hand or I would never find my way out again. My natural curiosity saw this well intentioned lie turn into a tale of feral children living on dropped food, raw rats and having eyes as big as saucers. He loving scared me to death. At least I realised it was a load of poo poo eventually. Other poo poo he filled my head with stayed there a lot longer to my embarrassment when I attempted to buy the more expensive upstairs bus ticket.
