I'd call Chuka Umunna a Neoliberal to his face and none of you wimps can stop me.

I don’t know who said it on twitter, but something a lot of you non Glasgow lot won’t be aware of is the extreme Milngavie & Bearsden energy that comes off of Swinson.

Rarity posted:There's no such thing as 'just between us mates' though when it comes to insults. If that was the case then we'd be ok with calling Sajid Javid a P**i or Ruth Davison the f-word or Chuka Umunna the n-word because, hey they're not part of the in-crowd so it's fine, right? You wouldn't accept that when it comes to race or sexuality so why are you cool with it when it's about looks? That's a bit of a leap.

Hentai Jihadist posted:Because they aren't equivalent. There is no historical oppression of ugly male politicians to give such insults a horrible context. If looking at parliament is any indicator ugly men actually are advantaged in becoming MPs. Men are regularly committing suicide because they don't feel they can match the image of masculinity presented to them by society though so I'm not sure what you're missing here

Appearance / body shaming is bad and all, but there is legitimately something unique about the type of ugly exhibited by lifelong Tories. It's difficult to quantify, but everybody knows it when they see it; e.g. the chipmunk guy posted a few days ago, or any one of the 'young tories' that look 20+ years older than their actual age. There's a very specific Tory Ugly phenotype that is fascinating because there's no reason something like that should be an indicator of somebody's political views, and yet it is.

It’s that they’re dead behind the eyes because they’ve given up on humanity, OP, that’s the phenotype.

Insulting the tories for looking as ugly on the outside as they are underneath is fine IMO. I mean look at the loving state of Gove, he's almost a horror movie creature. Also wasn't there supposed to be a ruling or something from the supreme court by now? Anyone know what's happening with the prorogation legal case?

There are other good prawn cocktail crisps and even good knockoff Skips while Wotsits are the only good cheese crisps and most of its knockoffs are shite.

It begins on Tuesday for a maximum of three days, although frankly the biggest likelihood is they declare it's something for parliament to sort out... even though parliament isn't sitting.

If you use a racist slur to say that Sajid Javid or Chuka Umunna are bad MPs, you're saying that Diane Abbott, David Lammy, Dawn Butler, Tan Singh, etc. are bad MPs, and by extension that nobody Black or Asian should be allowed to represent a community, that's hosed up. Whereas I'd be pretty happy if nobody from the skull measuring white brain genius group was allowed to represent a community.

ronya posted:apropos of nothing: it is weird how little the net migration target scrap and the reintroduction of the post study work visa seems to have mattered to the usual suspects The rhetoric of immigration taking jobs has only ever been applied to unskilled or semi skilled labour - "immigrants are taking all the jobs" has never been employed to the graduate labour market, oddly enough. On another note, have just got back from Kuala Lumpur and it as a city feels very like Rome, with the chaos, traffic and smells. Given I was in the centre of the richest city where they were trying hard to cosplay as westerners that's not ideal, but at least it was cheap.

I mean no I don't for precisely that reason but I do like rice crispie squares more than most crisps. Also yes, pork scratchings are a very good crisp alternative.

Oh drat fried chicken is a crisp now? Finally I have a favourite crisp! Otherwise it's probably some kinda ridged cheese'n'er cause I'm boring (cheesener being slang for cheese and onion as opposed to saltener for salt and vinegar obvs) E the english half of my Greek family used to make crisp and butter baps to take to the beach and I think that's the optimal crisp delivery system

When it puts its heart to it, it tries to be Abu Dhabi though. Did you visit Putrajaya?

No it's not Private Speech posted:Only if you want the citizenship, permanent residence has only administrative costs and there's a time limit for how long it can take to process as well, not to mention that the conditions are very generous compared to ILR. It's not 3k even if you want citizenship Edit: hm, my info might be a year old, come to think of it... haven't followed it recently
