Of course some people would make a fuss, but I don't think it would be much of an issue.

Also I understand that the article itself goes on to describe how it's actually talking about the UK as a whole, not just England.

Then they should say that. It's excluding language and they know it.

He's not a convicted rapist, sure. But he's almost definitely a rapist and I don't have a reasonable doubt of his being guilty of at least one of the charges, poi-san-allie

It's been going on that long I've forgot most of the case. What's the compelling evidence he did actually rape someone?

The victims reported behaviour that meets the definition of rape. Julian Assange has agreed that what they said happened, happened but he disagrees that it counts as rape.

I think the elephant in the room is that multiple world governments wanted Assange to disappear. Especially after the helicopter gun cam leak where they shot a load of kids. This isn't a normal rape case. This is the only rape case where I don't automatically side with the victim. Because there are possible politically motives at play. Instead i'm left wondering if i'll ever know the truth.

Then again if he really did lie about using a condom and thinks it's no big deal then ugh. Can we agree that if he ends up shipped off to America then something might be amiss?

A very nice collection of words that. Could do with a point. Or maybe some context. Such as the current British government, and lets face it the next, also being a force for neoliberalism. So there is really little reason to do away with the few rights being in the EU affords us because "ew neoliberalism".

Americans still seem to have a generally decency about them. Like they're thick as poo poo and their police are basically some kind of tyrannical army but they probably would feel sorry if they saw a disabled person burst into flames in the middle of the street. They might even try and help them. In the UK we're at the point where a crowd would gather to throw petrol on them while shouting scrounger. Then they'd poo poo themselves, eat the poo poo, throw the poo poo at each other and then jump into the fire themselves. Something something immigrants austerity.

The last ones alive will all be right wing rags. While they are also dying they will still be able to do lots of damage in an environment where the Guardian and the Indy no longer exist. For people who still get their news via papers it will be like Fox news being the only news channel. Not even the illusion of choice.

I don't think the death of physical centrist media is a good thing in this particular case.

Might Labour's unwillingness to get involved in the doctor's strikes be down to them considering the NHS to be more important than party politics? If Labour came out in support of Junior Doctors, isn't there a real chance the Sun would back Hunt, jeopardising public support for strikes?

He does absolutely need to shut up about Trident, though, almost nobody agrees with him either in his party, his membership or the public. I understand that it's his life's work and this is the biggest platform he'll ever have to push his agenda, but it's a complete waste of time.

It's also a really dumb thing to throw an election over. Unless he truly thinks global nuclear war is going to happen if he doesn't remove trident. Maybe it's like the plot of Crimson Tide only with UKIP ultranationalists trying to launch missiles at Dublin? But it turns out Ireland has thousands more missiles than the US and Russia combined the cheeky fucks and they Samson protocol everyone. Yes that's it. Corbyn is a hero.

marktheando posted:

If the Labour Party can't bring itself to support striking Doctors trying to defend our NHS then what is it for? Why does it exist?

And no I don't buy that it's all because of media bias. The Yes campaign managed to get its message out against a much more hostile media, it's achievable.

Yeah this has really lowered my opinion of Corbyn :(. Not endless stupid loving polls. This annoying silence when they should be savaging the Tories.

Well-known communist sympathisers the OECD have reduced their growth forecasts and called for more public investment by the government. George Osborne hails this as an endorsement for his policies, somehow:

OECD calls for less austerity and more public investment

Remember the Tories don't actually think austerity works. I don't think anyone does. It's just an excellent lie to children (stupid people) that makes it ok when you HAVE to dismantle the welfare system and funnel money into your friends pockets.

There will be no revelation. No mass of Tories face palming and disclaiming "Oh forgive us, we thought it could work!". It's just a convenient lie that the British public have proven very susceptible to. Possibly due to things like "Blitz spirit" and other TRUE GRIT national prides. The idiots truly believe we're all in this together.

Ad hominem attacks are terrible and no way to conduct yourself in a debate unless you're a conservative PM and then you're masterful at defusing Corbyn's questions.

The Guardian is garbage and endorsed loving Yvette Cooper for Labour leader so their opinion is worth a disappointing wank.

It's amazing how they just seemed to give up on being "leftist" when Corbyn won. They threw their toys out and still haven't forgiven Labour or its voters. If some "third way" Blarite party does get off the ground they are going to shill for it so hard. They can't wait.
