 Hardly seems like the Beeb put a gun to his head and forced him to go through with it to me. But hell, the narrative has already been established

serious gaylord posted:Well if you read said deleted blog post, he was 'considering resigning' and 'laura sealed the deal' wait, are you really saying that the BBC convinced a member of the shadow cabinet to resign? Is this what you're really saying? And you actually believe that? I have to triple ask this

serious gaylord posted:No its not, he was always resigning, but he was never going to do it in such a public way. Not this no name juniour minister. He was offered something to do that live on air. see, I don't see that as an actual issue. It's people pushing this agenda that the BBC pushed him to do it. It all feels very 'In The Loop' Spangly A posted:how do people like you think when you read stuff like this? Is it a straight up disbelief in anything you don't want to hear, or is there a period of cognitive dissonance leading to rationalisations like this? so you're saying I should take the word of everything that's written as gospel, right? Got it

NO gently caress YOU DAD posted:That's what the article says happened, so I'm not sure what the problem is. This isn't something people have inferred, the BBC wrote it down and published it on their website (then took it down when they realized how bad it looked). to me, anyway, it looks poorly worded. How the gently caress anyone with a background in journalism could even read that, see what it's implying and say "yep, that's fine" is beyond me. But then again, we live in a world with The Sun and The Mail so anything loving goes

Regarde Aduck posted:Well you imply that you outright disagree with his assessment. If this is not based on what IS written then it's based on what isn't? How does one get so sure about the absence of fact? "I don't believe what is written" should not become it's own proof. I don't necessarily disagree with his assessment, in fact he's probably more than likely correct. But if anything the last decade or so has taught me to treat everything with a degree of skepticism. Of course it turns out that this political editor at the BBC did in fact push him to resign, I'll happily eat my words

serious gaylord posted:The entire situation has an air of someone upstairs seeing it and hitting the panic button. The blog post started the fire, but removing it? That fanned it into the inferno they have now. if they'd left the blog post where it was, they would have had to come out and actually defend it presumably in front of a parliamentary committee no?

If there's one thing the last 24 hours have told me, it's that if the anti-Corbyn "anonymous sources" in the Labour party actually supported Jezza and went after the Tories, they could actually wreck the government

thespaceinvader posted:The people that are doing this consider their job to be, currently, screwing with the democratically elected leader of their own party because they think (probably quite correctly) that he threatens their future in said jobs. and yet undermining him to the point where Labour approaches some sort of Lib Dem 2015 election slaughter is going to threaten their jobs too? Unless they're trying to force another leadership election before the next general election which would make Labour look even more unsuitable for government... wait, what the gently caress?

The Tories have offered up two gilted edged golden opportunities this week alone in Cameron's wage inequality gaffe and Mindless Drug Hoover's backhanded admission that his plan of austerity still isn't working and all we're talking about is a goddamn reshuffle and the Beeb

Apart from not being able to get around easily and being bald she was fine 18 months before she died, even about 3 months before she died; it's only once it got to her brain that she really went downhill, then it was pretty fast. yeah, my granddad got terminal throat cancer in November 2006 and it was only in October that he started looking bad, and he was gone in December. Cancer is the loving worst

Guavanaut posted:What is Corbyn's drug policy? I know he was busy not even smoking weed while Cameron was railing lines and pigs, but I'd hope it's something reasonable and evidence based, like "addiction is harmful, but the causes are rooted in poverty and the war on drugs has done little to stop it. I will ensure that the conditions that foment addiction are tackled and establish healthcare solutions to problematic drug use." he should just answer "well, you see America's drug policy? The war on drugs? Not that"

The way I remember the NHS IT contract being described to us at Fujitsu (before it all went to poo poo) was that the government at the time decided to split the UK into four clusters and tender each cluster out individually. Even back then, I thought that was a loving stupid idea
