Julio Cruz posted:for Boris to be PM again he needs the backing of a majority of the MPs of the largest party I remember about five years ago when everyone said he was too much of an oafish prick to ever become leader of the Tories in the first place, and then they decided actually it would be good because otherwise Allotment Hitler could win

There are a lot of people in the UK who are quite literally hoping that Keith 'Keir' Starmer is just being an appalling politician because it's part of some weird master plan to win an election by default. And that, actually, he'll put some good policies in place and things might get better. To say there's no evidence to suggest that will happen is putting a positive spin on it.

Tesseraction posted:Also Sunak has veto power of who can stand for the Tories, so unless he runs as a third party candidate in Borisville, Oxford, he's hosed. The Tories as a party are finished, and I can see a successful new party (NatC/Reform based) sucking up all the racist and gammon votes, and I can easily see Boris being at the forefront of that. Idiots love him, and we are a nation of loving idiots.

Soylent Yellow posted:4000m below sea level is pretty hostile to human life. At that depth, "comfortable safety margin" is closer to space shuttle launch levels of risk than hopping on a bus to the shops. I'd take the space shuttle. The pressure differential at 4000m below sea level will be 400 times stronger than the differential a space shuttle has to be designed for, and if something goes wrong, you can tell houston you have a problem, it's technically possible to rescue you in space etc. Keep in mind most submarines wouldn't dream of ever going that deep. Military subs just chill near the surface, since that's where their targets are, and to design them to go deeper would take away from their military capability. If a military sub got to even a quarter of that depth it would implode, there's no reason for them to even be 1000m below. These super deep subs are a research or industrial thing, generally. In this case it was a...*checks notes*...private tourism company. Glad to see them helping a billionaire to innovate. Brendan Rodgers fucked around with this message at 00:17 on Jun 20, 2023 |

funny thing about the world's densest billionaire* is that he's done multiple genuinely tricky submarine rides, you'd think he'd take one look at this operation and go "lol good luck guys" * may not actually be billionaire, it's frankly tricky enough to find detailed info about the investment group he started in 02

But yes the UK Labour Party are actually running to the right of the Democrats right now, thanks mostly to the US progressive caucus being really strong, and the UK Labour Party being dogshit fartfuckers.

Oh god, the smug sneering from the pompous old Guardian commenters whenever someone suggests that this might not be the case. I mean, he's only said explicitly that he's not going to do anything good, words backed by his entire behaviour and career to date. But we've got to Get The Tories Out and not worry our heads about what would come next!

Has this ever happened tho? Massive bellend "Sir" Bob Geldof is still an Irish citizen to my knowledge, although I think he was stripped of the Freedom of Dublin honour for being a cock so that's something. Speaking of citizenship, my wife's cousin (and de facto sibling) and all round great bloke is getting naturalised today after 20 years as a refugee on Ireland from the post-apocalyptic wasteland of Boston,MA. We wish him well.

Torquay is definitely the kind of place that will calcify all right wing opinions if you live there. It's a pretty sad place these days - a lot of deprivation, and consistent underfunding of all public services by the resolutely tory local government. There also are very few non-White people there either, so it's extremely easy to blame the nefarious foreigns for all your ills.
