OwlFancier posted:Bercow as leader would actually be extremely funny because I don't even know if he even disagrees with the tories politically as much as he thinks they're idiots. Nah Bercow has a reverse-Sp!ked kinda trend where he was someone who joined the Tories on the far-right of the party and the more time he spent in Westminster the more he shunted left - his wife Sally likewise was a Tory but came over to Labour with Blair and was still a vocal supporter of Corbyn during his tenure.

I would imagine that and the lib dem fightback might be putting the wind up some of the people near the top, and keir obviously has to take responsibility by sacking everyone who isn't him.

I think it's just a different way of pronouncing the name, (I don't know if you can say the "proper" way of pronouncing it, names drift over time and there's all sorts of ways of spelling and pronouncing everything). I guess people take that pronunciation and spell it how ít sounds?

Maybe that's changed a little now there is a bit more social media coming out of them, but used to be candidates would avoid them at all costs.

I think Galloway would have skewered her especially on Palestine. The first time I ever heard/saw Galloway was when I was on holiday in the Sinai desert and the only English-speaking channel on the telly was BBC World. Galloway was giving some Senate hearing in the US some serious welly on Iraq and I was very impressed. (The 16 years since then have somewhat modified my opinion! Opportunist, egotist, etc etc) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QVdYp2GDC-4

Kin posted:If I were a paranoid person, I'd think the government told the England team to take it easy so as not to rile up the separatists. Or is Scotland better now and England a bit poo poo? This is certainly something. Even if you're the most paranoid person on the planet what possible leverage could you imagine the govt has to force the England team to obey their orders? And how would they keep all 26 of them quiet (not including non-playing staff)? And why would they risk the devastating consequences if it came out they'd rigged an International match just to prevent the outcome everyone considered most likely? If it helps your paranoia the previous match between England and Scotland was also a draw.

goddamnedtwisto posted:Even so, by the time I left, there was *still* a good solid thousand-person queue, and (through the magic of back-of-the-envelope guessing on our part, not anything like an official number) there'd been at least 10k people through. Holy poo poo. That is a hell of a number, kind of thing that (even if it's just a bit of a one-off as you think it might be) does give me hope that we can crush this before too long. Thanks for volunteering! I put my name down months ago but never heard back, I should see if they've reopened it again.

I mean the video shows george galloway talking for an hour and a half next to a guy I assume would have been the moderator. Bit hard to make him out though so I couldn't tell what he was saying. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ehd-CwrU_AM&t=55s

It really feels like Raynor is being forced to have a 'source' or press person whose sole job is to make her look as stupid as possible. Like she's clearly getting on well with Corbs there so is that her pushing outside the boundaries that Smithers' crew will allow her and so she's being subjected to a deliberately absurd 'official' response?

nah she looks uncomfortable as hell. but i imagine all political photoshoots are as uncomfortable as hell. And were believing this source i guess, even then nothing it says is particularly countermanded by this video. She could have not kown he was going to be there then stuck with it once she got there and not spoken to him after.

Then it wouldn't be a photobomb, and it would be absurd to call it as such.

She might also just be equally willing to pretend to be friends with everyone whenever it is convenient and also lie whenever it is convenient.

I just don't want to dismiss her so easily. I remember her being decent throughout the Corbyn years and don't want to believe she's abandoned that path so easily. I'm not going to stan her or anything, just suspect that her getting lovely press isn't necessarily proof of her being The Arsehole.
