Failed Imagineer posted:I've postponed my wedding twice, 2 years in total. People ask "oh that's tough isn't it?" and I'm like "no, it's just delaying a big party because lots of people are dying at the moment, it's fine actually" Better safe than sorry for sure, wishing you an early happy wedding day! (saying ''premature'' sounded wrong).

Though the previous date was Oct 30th so we're going to have a small 🎃 house party/Wedding Funeral which is as good a reason to get pissed as any

So, why did Boris Johnson decide his trip to the White House during the U.N. annual meeting was the time to announce his secret child? https://twitter.com/BorisJohnson/status/1440375951603298305 https://twitter.com/cnni/status/1440363969881927689

When you think about how much money he must pay on child support its no wonder he doesn't think £150,000 is that much money.

He'll probably fail at the Caribbean Black cake. Not because you have to start it three months in advance, but because you can't stop it without good reason.

It's been dogshit since it left BBC. At least the Beeb had the money to go visit the different places where the specialty cakes come from and learn some cake history. I'll still keep watching that garbage tho

ronya posted:flip back to leftist publications during peak Ed Miliband Labour (both Labour-affiliated or not) and observe that nobody foresees anything like Corbynism as a possibility. Moderate lefties advocate local programmes and ad-hoc initiatives. Frothy lefties advocate Red Monday, same as always. Certainly nobody advocates positioning oneself as anticapitalist but only moderately so - to argue for a balanced budget as a point of discipline, to reject calls for council budget stunts - but still also embrace the hope of revolutionary change. Not immediately, but in the abstract future I think a different - and I suspect much more accurate - reason why nobody was talking about it was it was still the ground state against which any pamphleteer wishes to show a contrast. The Corbyn manifestos were really just mildly-updated versions of the Bevan side of the post-war compromise - take out renationalising the coal mines and steel mills for unfortunately obvious reasons, replace them with pledges to create new wind turbine factories. Nobody was talking about this as a platform because the Right of the party still believe "Tories, but less so" is the only route to power (either through naivety or enlightened self-interest) and the Left of the party weren't expecting being near power so had to ration what little political capital they had in individual battles against foreign policy rather than domestic, while the harder left, purged in the 80s and 90s, had no real reason to advocate parliamentary solutions to problems. Given *Corbyn* didn't expect to be leader until they counted the votes, it's perhaps not surprising that the first year or so was spent flailing and grabbing at straws being proferred by the Right - but also that McDonnell spent the first year blanking Blanchflower et. al. until they stropped off (and briefed hard against him in the lead up to the Chicken Coup). If I believed Johnson had a political agenda rather than simply following the path of least resistance, I'd call it the Tory equivalent of Corbynism - a return to a hazily-defined but strongly-felt "traditional" Conservatism - the sort of flag-waving, throwing threepenny bits from the Bentley to the local tykes, "jolly hard workers if they have white leadership" Tory that everyone assumed Thatcher had obliterated, and it's having similarly discombobulating effects on Tory thinkers as Corbynism because they've gotten so used to the incredibly narrow parameters of post-1997 British politics.

Hm, I don't get what this means. What "Tory thinkers" [sic]? What discombobulating effects? Didn't all the tories fall in line as soon as Johnson kicked the moderates (those who didn't vote for his insane hardest-ever Brexit) out of the party? I mean I guess those moderates still are alive, technically, but... who gives a poo poo?

All of the ones screaming that he's gone full Turbostalin because of the NI increase, even though pre-Thatcher Tories were forever tinkering with tax rates. Even Thatcher increased employee NI contributions multiple times as a stealthy tax rise to make the numbers look better (and possibly because it hosed over labour-intensive industries considerably more than it did the booming financial sector).
