The difficulty with soldiers is either you end up with dry dull toast or you end up with floppy soldiers.

It's structural, I guess: power in this country is arranged in a way that means people like that end up running the country. I mean, look at what happens to people who don't fit that pattern (Jeremy Corbyn). If you're a sinister billionaire/ giant corporation, you want politicians who are easily corruptible and also too dumb and lazy to get their own ideas and start trying to wiggle the levers of power on their own account.

If you're a sinister billionaire/ giant corporation, you want politicians who are easily corruptible and also too dumb and lazy to get their own ideas and start trying to wiggle the levers of power on their own account. I've been thinking about this a lot lately, and I believe you're 100% right. There's nothing that terrifies big businesses and bankers more than the idea of an efficient, practical government. They need them to be as corrupt, scandalous and thick as possible, so that the general populace will focus on THEIR awfulness rather than the horrors of the system that allowed them to amass vast sums of wealth. That way, if they propose any sort of regulation or taxation, the businesses and their paid-for mates in the media class can say, "THIS lot thinks they can tell businesses what to do? But look how thick they are!". So they support their old underlings like Sunak, Truss, Kwarteng and Starmer, to ensure that we have no hope, and no visible future other than a continuation of the awful present.

hyper from Pixie Sticks posted:It's a Seismic Victory! (copyright every news channel) Yeah, just been looking: that constituency was created in 2005; there's been 6 general elections there and Labour's 2023 victory, with 17,845 votes is the lowest number of votes they've ever had in that constituency. What this election was really about was the collapse in support for the SNP, who went from 23,775 in 2019 to just 8,399 this time round. It does support the gloomy hypothesis that the next election will be a low-energy, low-turnout one, with Labour limply farting their way into power simply through having their vote decline less sharply than everybody else's.

Folk may or may not remember John Mason's "seismic(!!!)" 2008 win in Glasgow East. A seat he promptly lost again come the General Election to a Labour party that was hardly high flying at the time. I think Labour will pick up more seats in Scotland but we won't see swings like this.

Oh he's scrapping the two-child benefit cap? I thought he reneged on that seven broken promises ago. I presume he will instead renege on Wednesday, to perfectly attend to my relaxation vein.

Has there ever been a bar set so low for a Labour conference speech. Keith just has to mention one mildly centrist policy left of David Cameron. (Which of course the Daily Mail will still jump on and accuse him of being a woke communist)

hyper from Pixie Sticks posted:It's a Seismic Victory! (copyright every news channel) I stopped paying attention a while back too but wasn't the exiting MP leaving because she broke covid rules or something. I know there's a bit of labour uptick in general (to get the tories out), but I wouldn't be surprised if a part of the swing here is due to the lockdown traitor being publicly blasted for being one when public opinionated is squarely against that sort of thing. Or they might have been a poo poo MP too. Who knows.

Kin posted:I stopped paying attention a while back too but wasn't the exiting MP leaving because she broke covid rules or something. Yes, she was a loving moron. So, September 2020 she noticed she had symptoms of COVID, took a test & then went out to do a bunch of shopping & went to a gym. Next day she went to church, then she took a train to London to speak in Parliament, after which she got her test result back as positive, got on a train back to Scotland, lying to the SNP whips in the process that she was going back because a family member of sick. I decided to check Hansard & the debated she spoke on, on Monday 28th September 2020, was of course about COVID-19. (She was also back in Parliament on the 30th, despite that positive test, though that could have been remote, no info on that). So suspecting she had the illness she wandered around the Glasgow suburb she lives in, went from Glasgow to London & back again. Never mind needing a recall election & losing the whip, she should have resigned in 2020. forkboy84 fucked around with this message at 10:36 on Oct 6, 2023 |
