Actually, if you read the Beeb article about it, you'll find that that were actually protestors concerned that the story time was "sexualising their children". They held placards and banners, and two of them interrupted the performance. However, the drag performer has stated that their act is not at all sexual in nature, and he was upset by the protest. https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-berkshire-62305083 So many words to describe what happened without actually describing it.

Some people do have a weird interest in collecting intimate data on themselves. Personally I just let my watch track my sleep patterns so that I can find out what time I drunkenly crawled into bed the next day when I feel like poo poo and can't remember.

I use the tried and tested method of checking what time it was when I sent my partner a barely coherent message about toast, since that's usually five minutes prior to drunkenly falling into bed.

They had to be told that they can't just come out and say it, and now they're saying things like "as feminists, we are attempting to buy off politicians in a long campaign to eradicate the public existence of a protected category of people, because our opinions are too unpopular and barbaric to ever be implementable by democratic means" because, again, they just do not understand you aren't supposed to say that bit on a livestream. pretty sure I've seen guardian journalists (before being told to just ignore it) defend themselves from Hands Across The Aisle's direct collaboration with their parent group, anti-abortion megalobby ADF international, by trying to argue that guilt by association isn't fair lol. Of course the major problem is that UK politicians and media figures are very, very cheap to buy when compared to American politicians who'll openly tell their lobbyists that 2m buys a speech, not a policy. So ADF can get massive returns for a relatively small declared budget, though the EPF talk about $700m in ten years across the entire continent, with some sharp year on year increases

Starmer is so good at his job. You'd think it was impossible to prevent Labour from gaining ground during the Conservative clown show going on, but he's doing it with one hand behind his back (it's holding a bottle because he's a bloated alcoholic, you see).

I wonder if Starmer will fold and offer to reverse the decision. On one hand the Labour right will hate it, but on the other it makes him look even more like a useless sack of wet eggs, so it's a strong possibility.

At what point does Starmer get booted. Can't effortlessly walk into government by being boring as gently caress in comparison to the other side when you insist on going out of your way to jump on every rake you see with both feet. And then go back and jump on it again when you reverse your position an hour later

I don't think he'll fold, I think the prevailing wisdom internally will be "even if the unions disaffiliate and we alienate certain sections of society and our party, thats absolutely fine because they'll vote for us next time because they have nowhere else to go".

The Corbyn years demonstrated that those with any actual power within the machinery of the Labour party don't care at all about actually winning power, as long as their neoliberal values are upheld. Keith's keeping the left out, and that's plenty enough. Doesn't matter if he loses seats, bankrupts the party, he's not upsetting the apple cart.
