Out for dinner tonight and Handsy Hancock was at the next table. I knew it was him immediately, ~~partly~~mostly because he was wearing exactly the same pink tie and white shirt he seems to wear in every single photo I've seen. Man has a look, he sticks to it.

Far-right group Britain First registers as a political party

boob posted:

Party leader Paul Golding said he was "ecstatic" and would start "building the electoral arm of our party".

The party was deregistered in 2017 after it failed to renew its registration on time.

An Electoral Commission spokesperson said the party's application had "met the legal criteria".

The watchdog assesses potential new parties to ensure they comply with legal obligations and that their proposed names, descriptions and emblems do not risk misleading or confusing voters.

Parties also need to show that their constitutions or membership policies do not breach equalities law.

The Electoral Commission does not consider a group's political views when deciding whether or not to register a party.

Britain First campaigns on an anti-immigration message and has called for a halt to all further immigration except in specific cases.

The group has developed a strong online following, attracting attention when one of its anti-Islamic videos was retweeted by the then-US President Donald Trump.

However it has performed less well electorally, with Mr Golding securing only 1.2% of the vote when he stood in the 2016 London mayoral election.

In 2018, Facebook removed the group's pages saying it had repeatedly violated its community standards.

The decision came shortly after Mr Golding and the party's deputy leader Jayda Fransen were found guilty of religiously aggravated harassment.

In 2019, the group was fined �44,200 by the Electoral Commission for "multiple breaches" of electoral law, including a failure to keep accurate financial records or donation reports.

Equally Muscovites who find themselves through extreme misfortune on the Eastern Front of London (Gants Hill) will find the tube station very familiar:

(London Transport had provided advice on the construction of the Moscow Metro; the architecture of the stations left a lasting impression on the staff who had travelled over there to help. Gants Hill in particular was a direct lift of the "People's Palace" design ethos the Soviets had used for the stations, and some people claim the design is intended to be a tribute to the Soviet Union's role in beating the Nazis. Possibly not coincidentally the architect of the station, Charles Holden, also designed Senate House for the University of London which was the model for the Ministry of Truth in 1984)

That's actually surreal because you fight a protracted battle in that exact station layout in Metro 2033 which is set in the moscow metro after a nuclear war.

Mind if I ask your reasons for leaving Unison? I'm a member myself and I've been finding them pretty toothless regarding current issues at my workplace and was thinking of joining another one.

I don't really have much to do with them (fortunately: I've not had any major workplace issues) and in the absence of any strong reasons to remain with them I figure if I'm going to give money every month to a union I don't want it to be one that does this:

Linking this again because camera operators in communities need special training and even then they gently caress up, so a bunch of untrained paranoids with Ring doorbells is not a community solution for anything other than hassling the already margninalized.

You know what would be a great idea is if you get a bunch of people who spend 100% of theit time terrified of everything they read in the daily mail, then put them on whatsapp and also make them the actual cops.

The vast majority of violent crime in the UK is domestic and behind closed doors so unless those Ring doorbells are turned inwards they'll do very little.

Likewise more bobbies on the beat will just spend money that could have been spent on tackling the causes of all that domestic violence on training more PCSOs to turn up late and awkwardly stand around in the wreckage of someone's life trying to look emotionally supportive while wearing combat boots and a stab vest.

Everyone involved in this policy knows all of the above.
