We must reject ideology and dogma in how we handle this. Also all human interaction can be reduced to the Big Triangle.

"people with the amount of money useful to a political party" not meaning people who could fund the campaign but people who could give big individual donations to me, personally.

New Clause IV: The Labour Party is a high value individualist party. It believes that by the wealth of our rich patrons we achieve more than by appeals to common endeavour.

Actually only saviours from on high deliver, only have faith in prince or peer. Our own right hand can't do anything actually.

I really think they just are fundamentally opposed to small donations because they don't think ordinary people should have a say in politics, literally the only people who can be "useful" to politics are rich people who should be the responsible managers of capitalism and the membership is just there to get them elected because we don't just have formalized oligarchy.

It honestly feels like the only hope we have of that is if our salaries go up faster than everything else does. Thankfully I'm on track to get a new role in about a year that enhances by current computer-touching job to a computer-molesting one, so this may just actually happen

They'd rather get half the money they could from rich guys than more money through small donations because theyre in it for the comfy executive job where they work four hours a week and make £500,000 a year. They're hollow careerists with the occasional psycho true believer like Luke Akehurst who will stay in the party so long as he's fed a diet of Labour students.

OwlFancier posted:It does kinda have a bloodborne vibe to it? Lots of very grand buildings and very vertical. There weren't any locals yelling incoherently and shooting at me when I went but I didn't stay long or start poo poo with the transport cops at waverley station. Bloodborne is 100% based on Victorian Edinburgh, not London as people think. Once you see it you can't unsee it. It's a pretty city but a bit too full of tories. Glasgow is the best city in all of the UK though, no exaggeration. I legit miss living there so badly.

keep punching joe posted:why anyone would live anywhere in the UK that isn't Glasgow is beyond me. I spent eleven years there. For me, it was the weather. And the corruption and the inequality and the continuous deprioritising of the arts by the council and the terrible refuse collection and the sky-high council tax but mostly, above all, it was the the weather. And the corruption. I moved to London pretty much because the south of England has a semblance of seasons. Having SAD for 9 months of the year was killing me.

Not as rare as you think, saw a couple once shagging in a phone box outside PC World. It was one of those phone boxes with only three sides. It was also a weekday lunchtime. Ti's a city of great passion.

Basically whoever programmed this nation just filled a huge array with volatile rng functions and called it a day. Possibly after throwing it downstairs. See this week where its been 18 to 22 degrees and sunny all day but 6 at night and then by tuesday its going to be a blizzard and freezing fog.

Hearing them up close is bad enough, but it's when you're either between two of them so they clash or, even worse, in the Old Town where you can hear one in the distance but not localise where the sound is coming from that it gets into Room 101 levels of torture.

But yeah up close it's a truly awful sound
