Tesseraction posted:what does that mean again Also, if you get MA from Oxon or Cant it means you paid £10* and ate 3 big dinners in Hall* once you got your BA (they call most of their degrees BA even if they're science) unlike masters degrees from most other places which you actually have to do some work for! *probaby more than that now but it was something like that back in the 70s/early 80s. I think it's a bit more complicated than that now but who knows. Jaeluni ICBATG (I Can't Be Arsed To Google)

Jaeluni Asjil posted:What's wrong with writing qualifications post nominally? The best one I've seen recently is someone who uses PhD (ABD). ABD = All But Dissertation, i.e., they didn't finish. Apparently it's somewhat used in North America for doctoral candidates looking for a job while still working on their dissertation, but this was someone who seemed to have dropped out a decade or two back. In the UK you can often get an MPhil as a consolation prize in that situation.

Its really quite something that a show as well remembered as Splittling image got brought back in a way that has made exactly zero cultural impact. Like i think i saw like one post on twitter showing how poo poo and toothless it is maybe a couple of years ago, i had no idea it was even still going at this point.

https://twitter.com/reformparty_uk/status/1637816613427634178 I'm genuinely worried about Reform now it's in Tice's hands, as he's someone who has the money and connections to do some real harm. Getting Farage back onboard is going to win back a lot of gammon votes, but he also almost definitely has access to Hancock's WhatsApp message archive through his partner, which is a literal MyCrimes.txt implicating everyone in power. It wouldn't be hard to blackmail Tory candidates to step aside, or just release weaponised messages from the WhatsApp archive at the right time through his media connections. If the Telegraph starts backing Reform, then Tice might be our next dictator, I mean stranger things have happened, and I don't trust the voters anymore.

I've said it before and I'll say it again now: if the Conservatives hold their nerve, at least cosplay as a Sensible and Stable government and (most importantly) get the press firmly back onside, they have an excellent chance of winning the next election. Labour's current leads may look big, but they're shallow as a puddle and would evaporate like one, if the media establishment decided to turn on them.

fuctifino posted:https://twitter.com/reformparty_uk/status/1637816613427634178 Reform splits the Tory vote. For every gammon who would vote Reform, someone else sticks with the Tories because they think Reform go too far. If they kick up enough of a stink, it makes a Labour government more likely. I'm not sure that's much of an improvement, but there you go. The big risk is that the Tories get scared and go even further right to try to suck up to the fascists who've been on the fence so far. And that's only a real risk if Labour follow them, since the Tories are too incompetent to actually pass much atrocious legislation in a calendar year.

The biggest threat of Reform, as with UKIP before it, is that it causes the Tories to go “poo poo, we’re still not right wing enough”. It’s worked pretty successfully for Farage and co for like two decades now. Every time one of these fringe right wing parties have been defeated electorally, it’s because the Tories have rendered them obsolete. E: beaten, sort of

I like getting all doomy as much as the next idiot with major depressive disorder but if Reform have more MPs after the election than the Greens or Liberals. You'd be as well passing yourself about the chances of getting struck by lightning twice this year: sure, it could happen but the odds are in your favour that it won't happen

This is just like an 80s rock band getting together as the residuals have dried up, and the house mortgage still needs paying. Loads of fans to buy tshirts sure, and so gammons willingly to throw their tomato budget at them if they think it will get rid of the foreign neighbour five doors down. And being a bunch of Commander Hindsights, they have nothing to propose that the Tories haven't already tried and failed. Its a last ditch effort to get some of them into the lords.

At most labour under kier by the inevitable 2025 election is going to offer watered down tory policies because he's desperate for the wavering tory votes and the only way to get that is to pick off the voters who think "ooh err, I like the idea of deporting migrants but even I think sending them to Rwanda is too expensive", whereas really he should be convincing people why actual left wing policy is good. Something he's never going to do.

Yeah, then the civil service, law courts, or the EU just tell them 'no' and thats the end of that idea. Half the gammons that support Farage just think the current Tories just don't have the willpower to get things done. And they have.

ARE NIGE doesn't give a poo poo about politics and never did, that much is obvious when he finally became an MEP and then did literally nothing for the people he represented, or ironically, fishermen, who he was elected to represent. His entire shtick is having AN ENEMY to rally against to get his incredulously stupid followers to buy whatever stupid poo poo he's shilling and send him donations to the the nebulous "them". If he actually ended up with a genuine post in government he'd be fired in like a month because he wouldn't do any work and would just turn up in the commons to waffle about how Romanians are eating the kings swans or whatever.
