It's incomprehensible but in the same way farmers everywhere on these islands are incomprehensible.

I like that it makes the rte guy sound like the bbc by comparison though.

It is feminism that has destroyed tupperware and not the fact that you can buy genericised plastic pots for a fraction of the price and without the weird social element.

No, its because you can get all the plastic containers you need from an order from a chinese or indian restaurant.
Or just buy 20 of them for a fiver from Aldi/Ldl/Poundstore.

Yes but you can't prove that those ones weren't full of penises.

The genital obsessed freaks at the Mail probably spent all of their investigative fund on finding out if there is any truth to the rumour that China has been urinating in their pepsi.

Interesting article on Starmer (so long as you can stand the sneery Tory tone of the piece):

https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2023/04/13/keirs-blunders-paving-way-unprecedented-fifth-tory-victory/

Basically saying that Starmers strategy of:



Is grossly insufficient to win a significant election victory and is opening the field up for the Tories to make a comeback and win a 5th term in office.

quote:


Keir Starmer’s blunders are paving the way for an unprecedented fifth Tory win

Faced with a competent opponent, he is scrambling for an alternative message – and seemingly failing

To win the next election, Rishi Sunak needs three miracles. The first is for the small boats to stop, which now looks possible after the Albania deportations. Next, he needs to turn the widely predicted recession into recovery – which he may still do. But the third factor is one that he has no control over: he needs Keir Starmer to miss the historic opportunity in front of him and squander what was once a 30-point opinion poll lead. On that front, so far so good.

...

"Our lead is soft,” says one concerned shadow cabinet member. “And we still don’t have much of an agenda.” Should they have, at this stage in the election cycle? The election is getting closer, possibly May next year. So where was New Labour, 12 months out? By April 1996, it was standing tall. Members of the shadow cabinet had become national figures. Robin Cook had given his eviscerating response to the Scott Report into the arms-to-Iraq affair. Gordon Brown was famous for spending restraint. George Robertson and Donald Dewar had devolution plans ready to go.

...

This would require an agenda – and it’s far from clear that Starmer has one. His attempts to explain his philosophy via long speeches and articles have all seemed to deepen the mystery rather than clear anything up. The text of his last speech was published by The Spectator and, midway through, we buried an offer of free champagne to anyone who read that far. No one claimed it. But at the time, a vision didn’t matter so much. Now, with the local elections next month and general election next year, voters are seeing Labour not as a protest vote but as an alternative. It’s a higher bar.

The hope in No 10 is that Labour has not yet been subjected to the scrutiny given to a government-in-waiting. A poll last weekend showed the Labour lead down by almost two-thirds to just 11 points. It is an outlier, but the aim in No 10 is to reduce the lead to 10 percentage points by Christmas. This present may arrive earlier than they expected.

Pretty much. He's running the Hillary Clinton strategy of going on stage and saying "I'm not Donald Trump" only for people to turn around and say "at least he's funny"

Starmer's ability to deepthroat corporate boot is only impressive from a technical perspective, but I can't see how it's meant to appeal to swing voters. Instead he's doing all this psycho poo poo about a cop in every toilet and if people want a police state they won't vote for Labour because they see Labour as the party of queers and muslims, even if Starmer has systematically removed anyone not a straight white reactionary (Wes Streeting is kept as a shield).

I think it assumes, as the "moderate" political thinkers generally do, that the "swing voter" whatever that is, is a dispassionate being which will weigh the policy positions of all parties and gravitate towards the sensible, moderate position located just short of the extremity of tory thought, if offered. And that they absolutely can not be persuaded by people who can put on a show, give the impression of standing for something, and being a convincing human being even if a horrible one.

Genuinely can’t think of a single issue that Starmer has definitively opposed the Tories on

Can’t even think of any issue he’s had a decisive opinion on, except maybe “in favour of lying for short-term gain”

He's definitively opposed to the Tory policy of not letting Keith be in charge of implementing Tory policy.

Merci, chaton!
It's like that Guardian interview from a few weeks back with some senior Labour figure (Raynor?) who flat-out admitted "We know our policies aren't going to inspire anyone, but it's our turn, and people will vote for us because we're the sensible alternative to the Tories."

Since they admire Third Wayists so much you'd think they might ask Hillary Clinton how that approach turned out for her, but I guess not.

Someone at Bellingcat found out who leaked classified US information 24 hours before the US military arrested him, because the guy had posted it on discord and the discord was trivially tied back to him. This means Brown Moses personally went to the guy's house and arrested him / beat him up / stole his lunch money.
