Watching a Channel 4 Labour party political broadcast, and they seem to be using the time to go after.... American candy shops in central London?

I mean yeah, we all know about the money laundering, but is this the best use of a national broadcast?

Something going on in Cardiff. NOT an explosion apparently.

Live updates after reports of 'explosion' in Cardiff city centre
Part of St Mary Street in Cardiff city centre was closed in both directions

UPDATED21:04, 6 MAR 2024

There was a large emergency services presence Cardiff city centre on Wednesday night with a cordon in place as one of the main routes through the capital was closed. Part of St Mary Street was closed in both directions due to a "police incident" with firefighters called to what was initially described as an "explosion".

The road was closed from Wood Street to Mill Lane. Photos from the area showed several fire service and police vehicles and there was a cordon in place near the Brewery Quarter though the cordon came down just before 8.45pm.

A spokesman for South Wales Fire and Rescue service said they received a call at 7.06pm to initial reports of an "explosion". However they said when crews attended this was not the case but could not share any more detail of the nature of the incident.

The force confirmed the incident was centred on the Brewery Quarter in St Mary Street. They said five fire trucks had attended and they were being supporters by specialist officers, Welsh Water, the National Grid, and South Wales Police.

See, back in my day, kids, boobs were everywhere. It was the 1990s and early 2000s. We had Pamela Anderson and Baywatch. Jennifer Love Hewitt graced the cover of Maxim with her boobs.

Fondly remembering the 90s when I could wander into any patch of woodland as a teen and score maybe a 5% chance of finding some abandoned copy of Razzle Readers' Wives Edition.

Good times, unlike today where thanks to the woke internet it's almost impossible for a sexually curious young lad to find pictures of attractive women's boobs.

:discourse:
It's what's for dinner.
The Economist has an article on the UK election.

https://www.economist.com/leaders/2024/02/28/how-to-build-a-british-voter

The chart (about the Labour > Conservative cross-over age) was already posted yesterday but the article it came from has lots of choice content.

First, some quotes about the difficulty that the Tories are facing, starting with that nugget:

quote:

Class was once the engine of British politics; increasingly it is your date of birth. At the last election, the age at which voters became more likely to support the Conservatives than Labour was 45. Our data show that at the next one this crossover age will be almost 70.

quote:

In 1997, the year Sir Tony won his first landslide victory, 27% of 18- to 24-year-olds voted Tory; our data suggest that the share of this cohort backing the Conservatives is now just 8%.

quote:

Our model confirms that the tide is going out on the Tories everywhere. The probability that a voter would choose the Tories if the election were held tomorrow has dropped for 96% of British adults since 2019.

quote:

the type of person who has swung most violently against the Conservatives is an older white man with a mortgage living in the north-west of England.

[...]

that year, according to our model, such a man had an 81% chance of voting Conservative. The probability now is just 18%.

quote:

In the 1960s around an eighth of British voters switched their choice between elections. By the early 1980s the figure was closer to a fifth. Next time, our data suggest, the share of voters who intend to change parties will reach two-fifths.

and now some additional lols:

quote:

Things can change between now and the election. Sir Keir might screw up

quote:

Sir Keir does not inspire any great enthusiasm.

and some lol-worthy sensible centrist takes that only the Economist can manage

quote:

Sir Keir must be careful not to pander to his base at the cost of alienating swing voters.

, including this absolutely dire phrase:

quote:

If people are locked into parties, politicians compete within their party over who wins the backing of their own side’s radical true believers. The marketplace for centrist voters does not function; the incentives to govern well are blunted.

Seems wrong to give this trivial culture war fantasy more thought than it deserves but, hey

This:

gets to the meat (:dong:) of a key element of conservative thought.

They're not mad because the woke-ists have made it difficult to see giggly blondes with big boobs. Never in human history has it been easier to summon images of boobs, in all their many forms and attached to people of infinite variety.

They're mad that giggly busty white blonde women aren't the default. The norm. The expected and enforced standard of what an attractive woman is. They're mad that their preferences aren't seen as better than everyone elses. And they’re mad that they're not getting social bonus points for having 'normal' tastes.

When women who are muscly or curvy or flat-chested or square-jawed or blue-haired or whatever get promoted as beautiful, conservatives are annoyed because it's a sign that other people's preferences are being given equal standing to their own and that might mean that there aren't objective, correct, natural, inherent ideas of what beauty is (:qqpeters:).

This is what really gets on their nerves and drives so many of their more meaningful actions. They don't just want to win - they want to get patted on the back for being 'normal' and liking 'normal' things.

The Nadine Dorries saga was one of the funnier sideshows of the Boris era. She backed him without question at every turn, stepped down as a minister when he was booted as PM, said she'd step down as an MP clearly in expectation of a peerage she'd been promised, got kicked off the peerages list and then was forced to resign as an MP anyway. And Johnson's response to her undying loyalty was basically just a shrug.
