Bit the other way around but I've always been fond of My country 'tis of thee (look it up on youtube if you've not heard it). But then I'm not a Brit I guess? Nor a yank though.

Well MCTOT is mostly funny because of the context and the lyrics from the revolution times but the tune is a bit meh otherwise. Rather well known, though.

Marching through Georgia and Lincoln and Liberty Too are good. MtG was nicked by the old liberal party and turned into a song about the right to vote, but a good tune can always bear new lyrics.

What do you think's going on at the top levels of Labour, with all these dogshit, inconsistent stances they're coming out with? If there were a bunch of big egos clashing in the shadow cabinet, pushing their own interests and leaking stuff to the press, I could understand it. But the cabinet is almost completely anonymous, so I'm confused about what's fuelling it. If Starmer actually was making all the decisions himself, you'd expect a bit more consistency; I can't see where the conflict's coming from.

They want to make themselves palatable to big money donors (oppose tax increases) and pander to their mates in political-media circles (drive out the lefties who say mean things about them, line up jobs for their mates). They want to make it seem like the previous arent their primary concerns by throwing out fig leafs to "ordinary voters" (flags). They are aggressively mediocre so they can't manage to do any of that with subtlety or finesse. And they dont have the friendly press the Tories have to cover for them. That's my assessment anyway.

This is the post my brain keeps coming back to with regards to what's going on in the Labour Party. They are genuinely happy to see all the leftists leaving and believe they're better off without them. I bet Keith is getting his advice from Blair, that fucker seems really keen to break back into UK politics.

Maugrim posted:I bet Keith is getting his advice from Blair, that fucker seems really keen to break back into UK politics. Yeah but Blair was at least half competent at convincing people they wanted what he was selling. Maybe he's lost his edge in old age, or just not able to cope with a different historical/economic/social context to the 90s. If it is about selling to the big donors I'm not sure their motives to buy what Keith's Labour has on offer since it's just Tory lite. Then again everyone loves a discount, Prongles taste the same as Pringles and have a fetching pink-faced mascot. Maybe it's about neutralising opposition to the Tories in which case mission accomplished.

Pet theory: Blair actually just keeps popping up in high places giving people advice & occasionally taking credit for other people's stuff in the media. He'll like, just start tagging along behind groups of ministers & pipe up with "ah but have we considered using really long needles so we can put everyone in a line and vaccinate them all at once" and everyone's like "will you just gently caress OFF Tony jfc you don't even work here" and he crawls back into an air vent & has a little cry

Maybe he's been (mid)advising Hancock in the hopes he'll get the job when Hancock gets canned, then slither his way back into the top job. Regina George meets the Borgias stuff.

The only times I hear the song is in the introduction to the Third Reich History Podcast, and also documentaries that I show to classes on Nazi Germany. I'm a black metal fan so am well versed in avoiding NS music.

I mean, it's definitely about getting the left out. Embracing nukes, suspending/smashing any left or socialist politics down to the smallest positions, bringing back the ghoul of Blair. They are not idiotic enough to think they can win like this. They're just more than happy to keep their comfortable opposition jobs for the next forever while feeling important and worthwhile.

There is already discontent if you know where to look - people have acknowledged that the Labour Virus Bonds have gone down like a lead balloon and that they were the the brainchild of Keith and Dodds. Keith isn't going anywhere which means Dodds is likely to get the sack. I expect a lot more open discontent and probably a shadow cabinet reshuffle if the locals are as bad as everyone is making out
