His Divine Shadow posted:They might have lost those voters, but if those voters had gone to the libdems and labour had kept the red wall, wouldn't that mean more votes away from the tories at least, even if it doesn't mean labour wins. So 1. Labour would have lost a lot of "red wall" seats anyway, this has been a process that has been going on since 1997 (and before that really) 2. Labour would have lost the southern urban seats they did win to the Tories - there are plenty of seats where Labour + Lib Dem + Green is greater than the Tory vote but the Tories are the biggest party.

Tories are unused to debate cos their ideology goes unchallenged 90% of the time in media and they have only had to learn the most basic babby level narratives, so they think everything you're saying is insanity but they can't debunk any of it cause they haven't read anything beyond the most facile "blessed britane" nonsense so they just get upset and give up.

Guavanaut posted:I'd love to know what university he went to where you had to have "Marxist, socialist, or communist views" rather than mostly just being either standard liberals or reflexively for or against some pet issue, it sounds like a fascinating place. I was about to say. I went to university in my last 20s and I was quite interested in all this hardcore leftist stuff id heard claimed was rife in Uni life. Its a complete fabrication. Maybe Unis are skewed slightly more left than the general population purely cos they are mostly young people (who also skew left) but most students didn't know what socialism was let alone support it.

In truth a huge swathe of our politicians and commentators are all there through family means and have based their entire political philosophy off of proving that one guy who owned them at a party by badly quoting marxist theory at them was wrong.

England today is the kind of place where you can be raped (or indeed your children can be raped) by an agent of the state and have no legal recourse available. Let that sink in for a moment lmbo. The only saving grace is most people in civil service are not the sort of heinous ghouls to abuse this, but, well, it's still rather less than ideal. Especially in the light of the rape campaigns Britain ran in some of the colonies when they got restive (Malaysia, Cyprus ...) within living memory.

Bobstar posted:I'm familiar with them, but my brain still parsed it as "soviet citizen" and I pictured a lost-in-the-jungle type scenario of someone who still thinks the cold war is going on. About 18 months ago I met someone at work who had only ever held full citizenship of the Soviet Union (became a non-citizen resident of Lithuania on the collapse of the USSR, a status he lost by not renewing it, and had been living undocumented in the UK since the early '90s having come over on a work scheme).

So does anyone know the legality of being hit with an eviction notice during an eviction ban? Can they just gamble that it'll all be by soon so the eviction date will be legal or do they have to wait until there is an actual lifting of the eviction ban?

They have zero interest in facts, data, graphs, evidence. They rely entirely on visceral, spiteful, jealous, gut, politics of envy reactions . I dare to suggest that most of us have these instinctive reactions occasionally but on the left we have generally learned to curb base instinct when we look at the wider picture. Eg why should childless people pay taxes towards kids? Because it makes sense to have a well-nourished, well-educated generation rising rather than malnourished, under-educated masses. Unless of course you're a tory and you prefer the masses to be malnourished and under-educated because it keeps people 'in their place' providing a desperate workforce dependent on Lord & Lady Bountiful approving of your way of life before throwing you a crumb or two or giving you a minimum wage job and stops you being able to question what the tory-owned media tell you to think. It is a complete waste of everybody's time to try to debate with the right because you won't change their minds and you, Mr/Ms/Comrade Lefty, have just wasted several hours putting your data & evidence portfolio together. </RANT> When I was at uni, the 1979 election which swept Thatcher to power occurred (hot on the heels of the purported 'crisis what crisis' remarks that he never made of Jim Callaghan. And the bins. And the unburied dead.) and about 5 of us in 1st year physics voted Labour. The remaining 100+ voted tory and when asked why most of them said "because my parents do".
