https://twitter.com/WorldCup_of_MPs/status/1307952754443333633?s=20 I know this doesn't matter a toss, but still. Corbs has a comfortable lead at the moment, at 47% to Rosena's 32.2%. Dawn is in last with 5.3% so people could probably vote for Dawn. E: Dial 105 for the electricity helpline if you have a power cut.

Also, there's a protest in Canary Wharf in London today over the evictions at Somerford Gove. You can find more info on their Twitter feed: https://twitter.com/groverenters

Guavanaut posted:Government poo poo at trans rights as expected. In the middle of this Vice article there’s a point might be of interest. https://www.vice.com/en_uk/article/akzpj4/conservative-party-culture-war-uk quote:Asked what the reasoning was behind the letter, one of the signatories who wished to remain anonymous said: “Its purpose was to make sure that Boris knew, on this and actually all LGBT issues, that he had the party behind him. I mean, the Sunday Times piece a few months ago that said we were going to roll back trans rights – that was bullshit. It was just people wanting us to roll back rights, thinking that if they leaked to the media that we were going to do it, that somehow we would therefore do it. And therefore it was important that the party also had voices saying we are behind GRA reform.” Referring to an earlier ST article saying much the same thing based entirely on anonymous leaks.

I would like to issue a blanket statement that if I ever appear to say something offensive or embarrassing, then I misspoke and actually intended to say the inoffensive and non-embarrassing version instead. Trying to hold me accountable for any offensive or embarrassing statement is ipso facto libel and/or slander and you'll be hearing from my lawyer.

Bobby Deluxe posted:https://www.telegraph.co.uk/global-...ab-global-en-GB I was thinking about a variation of this earlier today: that wearing a face mask properly will also give some protection from seasonal flu, since the typical strain usually has a preferred 'up the nose' temperature that it multiplies at. Wearing a mask and bathing your face in blistering mouth air all day is likely to raise the temperature of your nose somewhat, which will interfere with whatever process a virus multiplies by, which I can't remember because it's been a loooong time since GCSE Biology. It won't do anything for the shitwits who keep their masks below their nose, which is a bonus, frankly.

I have noticed as I go about my business outside and as mask wearing in shops has finally become compulsory in Wales, that those not wearing masks when out and about who I can see just walking around 'normally' and unmasked outside do tend to give me a wider berth when possible when they see me in a mask - eg I went for a masked walk up alongside the river both Saturday and Sunday and there's a narrow path. Yesterday it was like Piccadilly Circus - never normally that busy. I noticed people just doing the normal people-passing on the narrow bit ahead of me, but when I came along they would do their best to squash into a side or go back or forward a few paces where there were some wider bits of the path. So me wearing my mask seems to have a deterrent effect on other people, getting them to practice a little more social distancing than they might otherwise. Of course, I might just smell  (JOKE!!!)

Helping people on the ground in real ways is how facist orgs get mindshare before being in any way capable of taking power, so why not the Left? Not to mention that there's huge amounts of good to be done helping people navigate the intentionally hostile system of benefits/laws that might help them. Just helping people appeal their evictions and claim the benefits they're entitled to is a great help even before you get to blocking baliffs with human chains and live-streaming evictions for the media attention/fundraising.

Also worth noting is that Occam's razor is "when there are competing hypotheses for the same prediction, select the solution with the fewest assumptions" not "the simplest explanation is most likely the right one", otherwise 'God did it" and "there are two genders" become correct statements because they're nice and simple, but both make massive assumptions. e: ^^ Like in that case, "the Tories want to help the country, they're just very bad at it" contains far more assumptions than "they self select for the worst possible people."
