Sanitary Naptime posted:On that note, enjoy the replies to this: https://twitter.com/nparticipacion/status/1308532546322477061?s=21 I know that leather shop!!! Definitely either a front for money laundering or it's got a fetish dungeon in the back room. I've been walking past it twice a day every day for 7 years and never a single customer inside but lots of glowing online reviews about the supple quality of the leather and the excellent service they received. It is opposite the warhammer shop in Liverpool Central so perhaps a cynical move on their part to try and create a one stop shop for the sort of people who would buy a full length leather duster for £300

Lol in other news the bbc has a story about how we've locked up 500 uni freshers in a building for 2 weeks. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-tayside-central-54261668 I can't see how this isn't going to be every single accommodation block in the country soon.

Who the gently caress would even subscribe to something called BritBox? The target gammons either don't know how streaming subscriptions work or get all of their entertainment from the various UKTV channels anyway.

Jose posted:Lol at the New statesman writer hoping to score reef points and getting owned This is a great source, ty for posting it. I hav watched philosophytube's take on the issue, which is basically the same as this, but it'd didn't hit the nail on the head as well as this did. I have the misfortune of being related to a TERF and a FART so sometimes struggle with countering their bullshit with little more than "gently caress off you hateful shits".

Someone remind me why Luke Akehurst is a piece of poo poo? He's on two of the NEC lists my CLP is supposed to be voting on tonight. One of them is just him in fact. I know he's one of the pro-war blairites but I vaguely remember there being more to it than that.

I'm a faculty member at St Andrews and despite Fife and Tayside being pretty good generally in terms of COVID spread since March in the last two weeks we've had 50+ students in quarantine at St Andrews and now 500 at Abertay University. And we're still slated to return to in-person teaching in two weeks.

OwlFancier posted:I keep getting judith butler and julie bindel confused and it's very annoying because they seem like basically polar opposites. Where it stutters and falls, I think, is when it comes up against the wealth of evidence since then from twin studies and neuroimaging and gestational androgen exposure that very strongly suggests there's something more biological about gender identity. That's the point where terves shout 'biological essentialism' while also running around screaming about the penis, so I think they are a good way ahead of them on that one by at least recognizing anti-trans violence forming a group with rights that need protection. I think you can tell them apart by holding up the Dong of Malachite and seeing which one flinches.

Photoshopping anything seems a bit too high-effort for the Express. Just stick a picture of Boris/the weather/Diana/Maddie on the front, fill the middle bit with adverts for clock radios and coach tours of North Wales and press print, another news day boxed off

Red Oktober posted:^^^ Doesn't look like it to me? You can still see the blue, just mostly hidden by the words. It’s a good interview. It asks the interviewee a lot of very pointed questions and publishes the answers straight. It may have been a hostile interview, I don’t know. It may equally well have been just a professional one, that threw all the difficult talking points at the interviewee to see what they would say. Separately, if it’s true that Labour is a captive opposition then maybe here’s a solution. Form a new centre-right party. Give it a name with historical resonance and broad appeal - the Commonwealth Party, perhaps. Run on a platform of “Tories, but nice.” Pull away all those people in the blue wall who are not very thoughtful but are troubled by Brexit and racism and care about seeing themselves as good people. If that’s too much, hope that the Lib Dems recover and go orange book. The electoral dynamic right now is that most people are mostly conservative-centrist. That’s the block that needs splitting up. You don’t even need to spend money if you have good social media and a simple message; Trump is actually an excellent example of that.

im glad i went through despair in 2019, jokerfication in march and now the placid waters of cheerful insanity because brexit is going to be a real one to watch. frankly i find british politics pretty interesting right now in a really hosed up way. its often been too revolting to pay attention to but now the curtain fell down and we can all see the corpse of the man behind it but the entire national apparatus is desperately pretending the wizard is real the government is completely incapable of doing anything except throwing money at the same 5 failure megacorps and their own cousins and friends, but those people and corps are also incapable of doing anything. obviously its largely corruption but I think also theres genuinely not anything else they are capable of anymore, they sold or delegated all the parts of government that do things; often to those same people and corps. we're so far past the collapse of central government at this point that its unclear if we ever had one its hard to take politics seriously anymore and thats been freeing i think

But it was not a consensus position at all that a second ref was bad - while the priority FBPE put on it was mocked, losing the young city dwelling intellectual voters to the lib dems would have been as fatal as losing Brexit supporting northerners to Labours chances. A muddle through compromise abd trying to focus the election on domestic politics - as we did in 2019 - was supported by many people here, and trying to pretent "we were all always against a second ref" is just mythmaking.
