I have my 1st vaccination booked for next weds, no idea which one they are using. I wonder if I'll get a choice then or if I'd have to cancel that appointment or something?

Then you have a 'despite what the papers are saying' base again. I think you are giving Labour centrists far, far too much credit here. The US Dems might pay lip service to intersectionality, but ours loving love the racism button and being pro-Palestinian would give them every reason to push it

DarkCrawler posted:Explain this to a foreigner - is it "end vaccine apartheid"? Kill The Bill. The Bill is a slang term for the police that I've never heard anyone ever use outside of an old ITV cop show which was called The Bill. Anyway, it's about stopping a really bad parliamentary bill the government are trying to pass but John Rentoul is a loving idiot.

DarkCrawler posted:Explain this to a foreigner - is it "end vaccine apartheid"? "kill the bill" is the thing that means kill cops. "the bill" is a name for the police in the UK, but it is also the name of a series of protests opposing legislation aimed at expanding police powers (a bill also being a term for a piece of legislation) The double meaning is intentional, but most of the people protesting are not actually looking to mass murder the police.

You noticed. The UK has been pretty lovely for decades, but it took until brexit for most of the world to notice. For some reason. I don't know why. The GRT-hatred is fairly europe wide I guess if you weren't already aware. There's the good political compass meme about it.

Guavanaut posted:We only just got medical, recreational is something that nobody but a handful of the Greens even wants to touch. I'm glad that decriminalisation is slowly making headway, and don't want to take anything away from the good people who fought hard for that in the US. I know that Americans today are (mostly) not the ones responsible for policy from decades ago. But I do find it a little galling that the US basically forced the idiotic war on drugs on the rest of the world and now they all get to sit smugly in their huge clouds of boutique weed smoke tutting at how backward everyone else's drug policy is.

Yea, Legal weed isn't as important in Europe because weed isn't as taken as seriously as a reason to oppress minority groups in the UK as it is in the US, and the police are less interested in pursuing it. In some areas of the UK police forces have publicly announced simple possession won't be investigated or charged due to lack of resources, to a collective shrug by the country - not something you'd see in the US.

Yeah it doesnt take a genius to pull up the 2021 results side by side with the 2019 results and draw two very simple conclusions 1. the tories gained 3k votes but labour was cut in half losing 8k votes 2. if labour had simply managed to cobble together a repeat turnout of 2019 it could have held onto the seat that's not "the brexit party coming home", that's "half the people who voted for corbyn in 2019 didn't turn out for starmer, and if they had he'd have won" it couldn't be more of repudiation of everything starmer has used his time as leader to do

they're just happen to be counting results from tory boroughs first, it'll flip soon enough the only way he can win is if it turns out the pollsters have been polling london, ontario this whole time by accident

What tends to get people to vote is a character - Blair beat Major because major is the only person in existence with less personality than Starmer. Boris is more "interesting" than Corbin.

Starmerism is best summed up by pointing out that footballers, backstabbing ex-spads and loving icecream are all providing a more effective opposition to the conservatives than he is.

Is it possible for 'youth = left wing' to change? The current levels of government spending for the Tory party, tell us this: There is no ideological commitment to libertarian virtue that is above electoral realities. If they have to buy votes, they will, doing the bare minimum in order to achieve that. In other words, this is the 'one nation' Conservative party —paternalism honoured as a bare minimum appeasement against class revolt. With no tangible positive outcome in sight for the political left, will the youth not simply embrace the cold blooded pragmatism of the Tory electoral machine? As most young people say when getting their first job "it's better than nothing." On moral grounds I don't support this happening. I just want to raise the question of relying on the youth as a strategy. Can we?
