IK has limited mod powers in one thread. Moderators have more powers and for the whole forum.

Despite the name, IKs tend to be less stupid than mods.

Pretty sure the Cylons had a much better plan than the Tories. :psylon:

In both cases, the "plan" was completely made up, they changed what ideas they did have as a result of press coverage/unplanned illnesses and once they found a snappy soundbite they stuck to it.

So yeah, checks out.

I mean, as mods have historically demonstrated everyone can break the law but I don't think you get substantial extra help doing it as one.

I'm quite prone to making heated decisions based on my biases and emotions, so I'd be a perfect D&D mod imo.

They could make a forum for that, if you win you get to be mod for the next season.

Historically the IK was the 'Idiot King', to smooth out cultural differences between UK threads and the broader forum. Like a yankoid mod might see the word oval office, freak out assuming it's a misogyny and start making dumb probabtions, the Idiot King is there to calm them down.

Still basically a mod but implictly a better mod than the norm.

Are the mods genuinely being weird about Biden? He is better than Trump no?

Part Two:

Thanks for posting this, it's a really good article and a fascinating read. Cummings always comes across in these things as an interesting figure - probably more interesting than he actually is. He's clearly far less clever than he thinks he is and an arrogant bully, but he's also one of the few, maybe the only, people on the right in Britain with any kind of critique beyond "taxes and immigration are woke : argh:."

What I think always gets missed out by journalists though is that Cummings' tangible successes are all about short term political game playing to win very specific, narrowly defined battles. When it comes to the actual big ideas stuff he presents himself as championing it's been poo poo; winning the Brexit vote hasn't gotten anywhere near what Cummings claims he wanted, the educational reforms under Gove aren't hailed anywhere as bold successes.

You can kind of see this from his time with Johnson. The most Cummings' thing Johnson did was purge the parliamentary party. This worked great in the short run to win the election and pass a Brexit bill. But stacking the party with ever more extreme versions of standard Tory shameless grifters, extrovert idiots and frothing weirdos - and it's curious that most of the 2019 Tories seem fairly unaligned with Cummings or Johnson except on Brexit - has pushed them even further from Cummings' professed goals.

The article is spot on when it points out Liz Truss wasn't an inexplicable aberration (ditto Cummings when he says this about Brexit), her message of low taxes are thr best ajd only way to growth is fundamentally the same as Sunak, Hunt, Osborne and the vast majority of Tories in the last few decades - and seemingly Rachel Reeves and Starmer too.

The broadcast is real. It's easy for anyone near the boarder to pick it up. So if you have another theory on why they blurred his pants out?
