It's depressing how unambitious Labour are. "The important thing is to get into power. What will we do when we're there? gently caress knows." The Tories might have bad ideas, but at the very least they have laid out their horrible goals and an insane plan for how to achieve them. That's going to bring out your horrible, insane voter base. Who do Labour even appeal to now other than aspiring Labour MPs? Reading that Thornberry interview, the one goal they do have (winning an election) they don't have a plan on how to achieve other than hoping that people are so sick of the blue Tories that they vote red just for some variety.

e: Even the interviewer calls her out on it.

:crossarms: "Won't keeping Corbyn out of the party hurt your chances of getting a Labour MP in Islington North?"
;-* "People will vote Labour so that Labour will win."

The Question IRL posted:

Wasn't "Money for Nothing" by Dire Straits?
The people famous for being in Dire Straits were Mark Knopfler, David Knopfler (his younger brother), John Illsley, Pick Withers and the whole UK.

Interesting one to bring up when we’re discussing things being rewritten for audiences. I’ve never heard many Gammons complaining that the grotesquely offensive second verse has now been edited out

I've had a big soft spot for Dire Straits since my best mate got barred from the metalhead bar he used to DJ at for repeatedly playing "Walk of Life" after being warned.

The UKMT Fudge Baron


New fudge released!

Hey folks! Just your friendly local fudge-baron dropping by with a new selection of delicious treats for your delectation! Including a flavour suggested by SA poster 'Discowitch' in the competition I ran before christmas- this has turned out to be a huge hit in the markets it's been sold in so far, so get it while it's in stock!

We'll be trading at LARPcon in Coalville the first weekend of march, as well as our regular appearances at Market Drayton and Newcastle-Under-Lyme artisanal markets; we're also in negotiations to have a stall set up at Eastercon in Birmingham this year, if any of you folk are members of the sci-fi fandom. We got to meet a couple of folk from this thread at What's Your Game a few weeks back (including me getting 'Stairs'd' for the first time in public for years), and it's always nice to meet fellow posters so drop on by if you're in the area!

So, without any further ado, here's the goods:

Fudge Flavours

Original Vanilla
Chai Latte
Cafe Americano
Irish Cream
Unicorn Barf
Marmite
(Yes, it's back!)
Chilli and Lime
- Our newest addition. Tangy lime will hit your tongue first, followed five seconds later by a wave of chilli heat as the fudge dissolves on your tongue.
Vegan Salted Caramel
Vegan Chocolate
Vegan Cookies and Cream
Veganoffee
- Delicious banoffee flavoured vegan fudge with big chunks of crunchy organic dried banana.

All fudge is now live at https://www.fudjit.co.uk and costs £3.50+p&p per 100g block. And as always, use the goon code 'Roastbeefisbest' to get 5-for-4 at checkout!

(Please note, we now ship all fudge with tracking after having numerous parcels get lost in transit)

Get fudged!

I have heard that it is not only politically correctness gone mad, and that it wasn't even offensive back when it was written, but also that these days if you go into a shop and buy Mr Brain's 6 Pork Redacteds in a Rich West Country Sauce you get arrested (and presumably thrown in jail, these days).

Not sure why they'd just not sell them if any of that was true, but I don't live in perpetual outrage ham world.

Wait, has Money For Nothing actually been edited?

That verse seems like the sort of thing that goes on the album version but the video/single/radio version skips it.

Plus, of course, the song is written in the vernacular.

Sunak really is in John Major levels of weakness. How incredibly pathetic to be issuing a statement about Roald loving Dahl while the Irish agreement he’s spent the last week desperately arranging can’t even get past the fascist boot boys in his party. But is Kieth out on the airwaves hammering the Tories? No - he’s busy kissing cops asses and telling us about all the exciting crackdowns he has planned

Kieth is doing a victory lap already. It would be very funny if he lost. Otoh it would be very funny to see Rishi fight and lose a disastrous election.

After the nightmare realm opened its maw and swallowed me in 2019 I'm just hoping I can at least find this one funny.

I'm not sure you can describe a member of a weird evangelical church with deeply reactionary theology that includes "the Pope is the antichrist, and I don't mean that metaphorically" as a centrist. Maybe in the 1700s
