It's a very fuzzy scale. Some of those cockapoos are very cerebral when they're not pissing on the stairs.

^^^yeah. Like I wonder how many times that trick works and how many times the full video gets played more often than the soundbite, especially now my mate has a cockapoo, bought during lockdown for the price of like a human trafficked child (guessing). It hates me, they're idiots.

I think I could write a few dozen reports about how "we need to appeal to the Red Wall boomer seats with dry flegs and wut uggs" with a couple of beers and a curry in me. Probably easier if I was a bit buzzed and desperately needed a poo poo than not.

They were all (most of them certainly) explicitly away from home and unable to eat without getting the takeaway. If work takes you away from the comforts of home, I would suggest, you might expect to be fed for your efforts.

Personally, I find all the Partygate stuff dumb as hell. In both cases, it involved two sets of people who all work in close proximity continuing to be in close proximity when they aren't working in that specific moment. I get people were upset because the rules were poorly and punitively enforced seemingly at whim and far worse things happened like the Care Homes massacres and demanding that people go back into Covid filled schools purely to look hard against a virus but the British Press operates on small time poo poo being blown up beyond all proportion and the stuff that actually matters being dumped into the back burner because we don't want to set a precedent where any of this poo poo matters.

So my council is NOC from Tory. Labour gained 14 seats and needed just 1 more to have 50% of the seats. So Labour is biggest party by 4 seats. There are a few 'other' (independents, green, and I think a plaid cymru). No libdems, I don't think any stood. Despite my misgivings about Westminster Labour, it's nice to see a fair few people I know from my days in the party (not with beers and curry) who are good eggs elected to county council.

Everyone seems to forget that there were actually like 5 reported instances of Johnson throwing parties during lockdown, most of them he just hasn't been fined for (yet?). That's what crosses the line for me, he didn't just slip up and get caught bending the rules. He willfully gave no shits about them over an extended period of time while slaughtering the elderly en masse. As much as Kier should resign in disgrace the work beer and curry thing doesn't really compare.

Gonzo McFee posted:Personally, I find all the Partygate stuff dumb as hell. But drumming on that did effectively ask for Starmer's beer poo poo to get roped in. "We wouldn't even have needed a lockdown if the NHS wasn't kept on the brink and we had the biosecurity systems our own national reports said we should have had and integrated them with the local environmental health and notifiable disease teams" would have been the more factual response, but I guess that doesn't play well with the focus group who think that means that immigrants get to monitor your cats.

We're not talking about the time Boris did a line off the top of a policeman's hat while he was still wearing it because we're in the weeds talking about if a quick birthday party broke the rules.

NotJustANumber99 posted:oh ok thats that then. Honestly Keith's problem is that during the pandemic, to paraphrase Malcolm Tucker, people don't like politicians enjoying themselves. They don't like them eating curries, or swigging beer, or gathering with other people even if it's for work. Whether it was strictly breaking the rules is starting to take a back seat. The fact that Boris was fined first for one of his less egregious breaches of the rules, ostensibly taking a short break for some birthday cake during the work day, and Keir went in so hard on him works against him now that he can't explain well why his 'working lunch' is different from 'working cake'. If Boris had been fined for the invitation-to-drinks-on-the-terrace it might have been easier. And yeah, I know they took place at different times under different rules. But to go down that angle is to end up in the weeds of how dumb and arbitrary the rules were.

He can explain the difference and has. But that video was the weird miliband thing where he was obviously briefed to say the same old soundbite nonsense over and over again. Other than that yeah pretty much agree although does anyone, outside of this forum, really care about him? like at all or having a beer? Whereas Boris is a target. I do, with current knowledge, think the cases are vastly different though. Oh and from what I understand Boris will be fined twice more.

Even if they had just been eating, they didn't need to cluster all 30 of them into a room to eat and then remain afterwards drinking. It's all very dumb, mostly because this is what gets Keith shitcanned? Even moreso because all of the Sun articles pointing this out are cowritten by the ex partner of Boris' current (Wife? Partner? Carer? I can't keep up).

Bobby Deluxe posted:99's claim was that they had no other way to get food while out on the road which wasn't true - restaurants had been open for outdoor eating since the 12th. Actually that wasn't my claim and I've never heard there were 30 of them before? So you send some interns to durham and then tell them to go eat outdoors somewhere? Great boss.

When the leaders don't care and the opposition can't come up with any alternative then that's your dancefloor. Understandably people just come away from that hating the whole lot of 'em all the same isn't it, which Starmer is ideal chaff for.

As noted I also think it does just put you very much in mind of the rules being very stupid with the exceptions, but at the same time important in spirit because if everyone hadn't done the lockdowns then lots more people would have died (yes obviously they shouldn't have been necessary in the first place, but once they were, most people demonstrably did their bit and people avoided dying because of it) and when starmer comes out saying "actually me having a gathering where I ate curry and drank beer is OK because it's work" I think people rightly understand that that is entirely against the spirit of the effort that most other people were sticking to. It doesn't matter whether it was technically allowed, it's still going to accurately be perceived as a slight against everyone who did give things up for him to look for excuses as to why he can have a lovely work do. Which itself is arguably a subset of the massive problem in politics where like you say, they can do what they like on the back of our effort. The main difference between them is that boris just lies, while starmer is an annoying loving nerd who goes "ackshually I am technically allowed to do this because of this bit here in the rules where it says I am" and you just want to flush his head down the bog.
