grobbo posted:this definitely deserves more attention, because according to Menzies' own sources, the reason he needed £5,000 in Tory donor money at 3.15am after a night of drinking and partying was that he was being "falsely" accused of being sick all over his host's flat and causing unspecified "other expenses" and they wouldn't let him leave until he settled it. Peep Show/Thick of It crossover sounding amazing

Our entire political system is based around blackmail. The Tories specifically choose candidates that have exploitable baggage, knowing that they can be blackmailed into voting with the whip. You can be sure that corporations, rich cunts and foreign governments also control many of these MPs too for the same reasons

Nick Clegg suddenly gained access to every single FB message and insta DM sent by any MP ever. Pretty astonishing to ponder

Pretty astonishing to ponder A lot of strange things happened on facebook when people were trying to expose the corporate takeover of the UK cannabis scene post 2015. Entire threads of evidence as well as accounts would simply vanish without any kind of notification. It's notable that it was Nick Clegg's lobbying 'charity' Open Reason and Danny Alexander's old Downing Street team's new PR company Tendo Consulting who were behind this takeover.

I was going to say from the opening that it looks like the print equivalent of wanking in public, but then I read the rest of it and it's more literally that than I wanted or needed to read.

Also half his article is "Chinese sex workers have funny names" and I think even Roy Chubby Brown has moved on from that level of discourse.

OK instead an excerpt from his article about taking part in the Guardian blind date column and his passing worry that he might molest a photographer. The Spectator posted:An intermediary, Cathy, arrived and went over the practicalities of Blind Date with me. She explained that some of the flakier volunteers misunderstand the arrangement and feel that their privacy has been invaded when they read about themselves in the paper. She led me into a very messy studio occupied by an attractive young photographer named Linda. She then walked out, closing the door behind her. This left the two of us alone in a private room. I asked myself who was most at risk here. Me, the unknown visitor? Linda, the vulnerable snapper? Or the Guardian’s HR department? Luckily, the photo shoot passed off without a #MeToo moment.

I read somewhere this morning - possibly twitter - that the tories may be planning to hold the next GE in Glastonbury week in an effort to put a spoke in da yoof vote. So I just looked up how many go - approx 200k in previous years. Many will be, I imagine just for the weekend, not on the Thursday when voting normally takes place. Also, I imagine, that the attendance is not so yoofy as they might imagine, everyone I know (younger friends or friends' adult kids) who goes is in their 40s/50s & earns to the north of £50k, because you need to be quite wealthy to be able to afford it, and is probably extremist centrist. So if tories are planning that, I don't think it will have much effect considering attendance is spread nationally and I imagine mostly from larger towns & cities where their individual votes won't have much impact anyway. I know 'I imagine' is doing a lot of heavy lifting in this thought stream, and maybe my imaginings are entirely wrong.

Europeans care more about elephants than people, says Botswana president Interesting thoughts from Mokgweetsi Masisi, and similar to what I thought a few years back when the Sun had a front page memorial about 'cecil' the lion while simultaneously presenting a few Black guys in a rubber boat as an existential threat. Also quote:Botswana recently threatened to send 30,000 elephants to the UK and Germany after both countries proposed stricter controls on hunting trophies. The country’s president, Mokgweetsi Masisi, said it would help people to understand human-wildlife conflict – which is among the primary threats to the species – including the experiences of subsistence farmers affected by crop-raiding by the animals. quote:While trophy hunting has provoked widespread revulsion from the British public and celebrity campaigners, using it as part of broader conservation strategies has been shown to help wildlife and tackle poaching. Masisi said Botswana, home of the world’s largest elephant population, allowed trophy hunting by democratic choice and said European countries telling his country how to manage its elephant population should provide alternatives to hunting. There may be some way to thread the needle on this, but if countries are just unilaterally banning it then you're going to get people saying "cool, and you'll be replacing that revenue with what?" and if the answer, as it is from the Tories and from Germany, is just a bunch of tumbleweeds then people aren't going to be impressed. I think we can guess that from the Conservatives the answer is not going to be "increased foreign aid for environment and biodiversity".
