Also extremely generous and gross considering your own history and still existing colonial residue in various places.

The relationship is a retired rear end in a top hat piggybacking on the adventures of his son's ongoing rear end in a top hat life, both resenting the other, the old man being taken advantage of by the son more and more, but fully voluntarily sticking his wrinkled self into these situations. Sometimes just to prove he's "still a man" to an audience of none.

if someone shouts at you "you twat!" you've probably done something silly that has somehow inconvenienced them - say dinging their car. it is both a way of saying "what an idiot!" and "gently caress you".

if someone shouts at you "you oval office!" you've probably really offended them and they might be starting a fight.

they're both used friendly though which confuses things.

the guy who called me a filthy doyle and a fat oval office did at least seem friendly

So what's the thing referenced here that Corbyn is supposed to do to be allowed back in? Self-flagellate according to the wishes of broke-brained journalists and the Labour right?

Die. Nothing short of death will be accepted, and even then, antisemitism will be alluded to at his funeral. Labor operatives will say they didn't attend the ceremony because they didn't want to offend constituents.

Starmer's trapped. if he lets Corbyn back into the party, Hodge & co. kick off a shitstorm and Labour Has A Problem With Antisemitism again. but if he doesn't, maybe, just maybe, the press will see Labour as being serious and ready for government! (they will not, as long as there's any Tory that they have even the remotest hope of pretending is competent)

afaict there is no way out other than the traditional bottle of whiskey and a revolver. no-one's given him a revolver and he immediately drank the whiskey.

Corbyn can't do anything to affect the outcome because the pressure to kick him out has nothing to do with him in any real sense. The demand isn't about dealing with a problematic MP, it's the center demanding that Keith explicitly and publicly drive a stake through the heart of the left.

i’m not sure if it’s the “if only the leader/king knew he would sort this out but it’s his visors who are at fault” effect, but it really seemed the guy was given exactly the wrong advice constantly throughout his tenure

i think people radically overstate their influence there tbh. while they participated in the incredible establishment response which killed corbynism, of course, they were being taken for a ride as much as they had meaningful agency. they're the ones who are losing their cushy mp, council and every other gig drip by drip, they lost a huge chunk of their cultural cache the second corbyn was dead and are stuck ineffectively flogging his dead body in increasing ridiculousness. their good press evaporates the microsecond there is any election and hasn't moved the dial on their polling in years. as a political party labour has critically wounded itself in doing this thing and the most visible of the anti-corbyn cultural elite are making godawful embarrassing musical parodies for six hundred views or have to leave strictly because their hair plugs were giving them cardiac fits.

peter mandelson and friends don't care, of course, but peter mandelson in the eighties lost it, big time, peter mandelson was hearing voices in his head and poo poo telling him to kill tony blair and poo poo, but he came back from it man, you know what i mean?

"Not sure if you're joking" is exactly what I was going for, thanks. :)

I once shared an idle thought I described as 'social capital' amongst a group of learned friends, and I can tell you with relative certainty that it is academically credited to French sociologist Pierre Bourdieu. I don't think Tories and middle managers fond of the term paid him anything for it.

Bourdieu coined it, but Putnam sold it into the Anglosphere zeitgeist with Bowling Alone
