I worry sometimes that if you brushed my hair wrong and stuffed me into a suit I would look like a Like is it style or is there actually some skull measuring you can do to find tories?

With 'ometer' on the end. If you hold it up and it glows red, you are a tory, if it glows green you are safe.

I was more meaning that it really feels like you can clock a tory just by looking at their head shape, which worries me because I don't feel like that's true in any other instance but god drat do young tories have a really distinct look, and it feels like it runs deeper than just a bad haircut and a suit.

Young tories have a certain look which I'm sure they cultivate. My nephew, son of Tory Boy, has gone out of his way to cultivate that kind of "Junior Rees-Mogg" look despite being considerably more round in shape than the Haunted Pencil. But when you get older it's harder to tell just by looking, which is not to say people won't 'decide' based on their own prejudices. Woman in a business suit? Defo a tory. Not. Woman in long floaty skirt with umpteen scarves - defo Green. Not. Woman with short hair, dangly earrings, stripey trousers and those weird vegan black strap shoes, definitely the L part of LBGT+. Not. I'm just laughing because for some reason this reminds me of when two gay male friends stayed overnight with me on their way cross country to Ireland and they sported wedding rings. They took mum & me out for a meal and my mum suddenly rushed off to the loo. Later she said "I was just about to ask about whether their wives minded them going off on a trip together when it suddenly clicked! So I went to the loo to stop myself blurting it out about wives".

I don't often have to stress smart casual and this is how wife dressed me. There's no mistaking me for a tory though, long hair, beard (strictly forbidden) and various piercings including face.

The Question IRL posted:I think the disappointing part is it seems the WhatsApp messages are only tied to Covid and Lockdown. I know it was a long time ago but you have this wrong. Rashford had a minor role, it was actually the mighty Labour party that put the Tories on notice and got the food issue sorted.

So 30p Lee is fully aboard the "when I were a lad, we grew our own food in't garden of our council house and our chickens gave us all the eggs we could eat" train, huh? I just checked and he's the same age as me. I lived in a literal one-up, one-down terrace on a cobbled Yorkshire street for the first several years of my life, and I never met - or even heard of - anyone who had supplemented their food supply like Tom and Barbara Good. Either he's full of poo poo (quite likely) or his family had plenty of spare time and money to turn their garden into a personal farm.

Besides it's not their head shape it's that all tories go to specific barber shops and ask for "The oval office" and while it varies person to person the overall effect is the same: instantly clockable. Both in terms of being able to clock them and wanting to clock them.

Gonzo McFee posted:Conservatives are just Children desperate to be seen as adults. I think it extremely likely that there is a correlation between this look and being deeply wounded by your relationship with your unavailable dad. You either go full Frank Turner and become the patron saint of the waifs and strays or full Tory and become the patron saint of desperately climbing the ladder standing on literally anyone who gets in your way in a bid to get some sort of recognition from your father. Eton and many other private boarding schools are not good places and what they do to many people who go there is actually very sad, for them and us.

Gonzo McFee posted:Conservatives are just Children desperate to be seen as adults. It carries through to adulthood as well. It's impossible to look at the likes of Gove and Rees Mogg without seeing the cosplaying child, they're just never ever going to read as adults to me. I think it's the public school thing, honestly. The places brutalise kids that go through them and instill trauma at a formative age, and I'm pretty sure it's stunting in all sorts of ways. You either come out of that with a lifetime of therapy to do or just really eager to ascend to your place in the hierarchy that destroyed you, performing and reproducing the same cruelty on the rest of the world, your sense of worth forever tied to being an effective monster. Tory MPs, basically.

For example I very much enjoyed Frank leading the singalong to Thatcher hosed the Kids in Dundee a few weeks ago while that Gaudian article says he regrets writing it. Frank is a complicated guy, will happily and readily admit he has hosed up a lot, and has spent his whole career with his heart on his sleeve working through what his childhood did to him. He would just be starting to realise the impact all the coke and booze was having in his life round the time of that Guardian interview as well. Not sure if he was off it. What you don't get from him is performative politics or lies and I think it's good to have people like that around. The world simply isn't as black and white as words on the internet makes it seem. Here is a more recent interview of his and while it doesn't go full gay luxury communism or anything like that it gives a flavour of how his views have shifted and I think the quote for the headline says a lot about his growth. https://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/music/features/frank-turner-interview-addiction-dad-b2004119.html forkboy84 posted:But he went to Eton so he can be mostly bad He has a tune on his latest album about how Eton was child abuse. josh04 posted:Frank Turner is a total dumbass but he brings Grace Petrie on tour so he can't be all bad.

I always remember Mick McGahey on tv during the strikes saying "Get out ma bloody road". I'd love to find a clip of it but alas it was years before youtube existed! I still mutter it under my breath when I'm undergoing trolley rage in the supermarket or pool rage at the swimming pool.
