Noxville posted:I think they have this idea that politicians make people like them by travelling the country and meeting them in person. Which even if that we’re true, I don’t think Labour have decades to spare for Keith to meet every single voter personally, and the man himself is a void of charisma such that no good would come of it anyway I've said this before, but this is something they are cargo culting from Corbynism. Corbyn did alot of "go out to places and meet people/give speeches", and they were popular and well attended. So Starmers team wants to replicate that (what person with an ego doesn't want crowds chanting their name?) without understanding how or why Corbyn achieved that via a vision. Contemporary Blairism didn't give a poo poo what the people thought of them, only what the press thought, but Starmerism wants to recreate that but doesn't understand it.

Also Corbyn had massive rallies because lots of people wanted to see him, starmer goes to a pub and gets pissed with some local labour twat.

He also does a fundraiser which I can't recall exactly is something like 'Save The Sun' (newspaper) and all the money raised goes to food banks or some such - I can't recall the details.

The upper classes think that “lettuce” is an acceptable name for a girl because loads of them are descended from an actress called lettuce who was a king’s mistress, and that’s all you need to know about toffs.

Yeah the dems have it both ways by using woke language and aesthetics to fundraise off the left and also doing deals behind closed doors with big business. The labour right are so commitedly anti woke they can't do the former so just keep trying to do the latter instead, which probably works somewhat for personal enrichment cause owning an opposition MP isn't nothing even if its not as good, and for big orgs it's cheap as chips to buy out MPs of any stripes Labour have become psychotically committed to "better things aren't possible" as a public platform, rather than the dems having it as their private platform while telling people to vote for them cause they'll change America. Its very idiosyncratic

"Lettice" https://www.thebump.com/b/lettice-baby-name Origin:Latin Popularity:8444 Meaning:joy Lettice as a girl's name has Latin origins. The meaning of Lettice is "joy". Is related to the name Letitia. "Tuppence" https://nameberry.com/babyname/Tuppence Tuppence Origin and Meaning The name Tuppence is a girl's name meaning "two pence". This quirky British nickname-turned- real-name is most famously borne by English actress Tuppence Middleton, who was named for her mother Tina’s childhood nickname. There is also a British literary namesake in Agatha Christie’s fictional detective Tuppence Beresford, whose real name is Prudence.* *I'm just reading a book with this character in it and that is how they discover that famous criminologist, barrister, MP and potential PM is in fact a giant crook. (because he signs a letter purporting to be from her to someone else as 'Twopence' instead of 'Tuppence'.) I guess I should have spoilered that! Ed: hm.. with that cv... barrister, MP, potential PM - does anyone spring to mind? cough former DPP person cough. Mind you, the crook was apparently very charismatic unlike the spoilered person.

Oh, now I've finally sat down to watch it, I have to echo the appreciation for The Watch. It's a comparison that I'm sure everyone will hate, but it reminds me of the Dirk Gently TV show (which I'm aware I'm possibly the only person, including the creators, to have actually liked). If they'd tried to do a faithful adaptation it would have just been annoying and weirdly incomplete-feeling* because you lose the narrator's voice and thus big chunks of the story and setting which would have been clunky at best to put in the mouths of the actors. Instead by taking the most interesting bits of the characters and stories but setting them free of the books they given themselves the freedom to actually make a good show on its own terms. * Like the Sky and Cosgrove-Hall ones were - although the Good Omens adaptation worked a little better, it was still lacking something (although it's notable that people I know who never read the book all absolutely loved it) goddamnedtwisto fucked around with this message at 14:46 on Aug 1, 2021 |

Mrs Boat and I also liked the Dirk Gently series, even though it had basically nothing to do with the books and was largely just Doctor Who with the serial numbers filed off. Unfortunately it's almost certainly gone forever because Max Landis is an enormous piece of poo poo. We watched episode 4 of The Watch last night and it really feels like it went up a gear. The casting of Matt Berry as Gawain "Wayne" the Magic Sword was absolutely inspired.
