Lady Hayter posted:With regard to free movement, we cannot simply airbrush this from the referendum decision. For if we turn round to those who voted out, and we say ‘yes we are out, but actually we are still having everything exactly as it was, we are still having free movement unchanged’, I think that might emit some surprise.

Feed a man to a fish and you've probably killed the fish, if they are anything like goldfish. Teach a man to become a Bond villain and you have fed a tank-full of piranhas for the rest of his life.

Teach a man to fish and he's fed until fish stocks run out. Then he moans and votes for Brexit.

One night in long bygone times, man awoke and saw himself. He saw that he was naked under cosmos, homeless in his own body. All things dissolved before his testing thought, wonder above wonder, horror above horror unfolded in his mind. Then woman too awoke and said it was time to go and slay. And he fetched his rod and line, a fruit of the marriage of spirit and hand, and went outside beneath the stars. But as the fish bobbed up and down at the waterside where he expected them of habit, he felt no more the tiger's bound in his blood, but a great psalm about the brotherhood of suffering between everything alive. That day he did not return with fish, and when they found him by the next new moon, he was sitting dead by the waterside.

I'm part of a very active branch in a marginal but in central Nottingham apparently branches struggle to get meetings together due to people not turning up. My so far brief period of time in the party indicates that there is no shortage of potential for internal shenanigans amongst Labour people

A danger of having a far left mad dog like Corbyn is that you risk putting people onto a dilemma between the far left and the far right. If people lean just a little bit to the right, then the far right gets them. Vs a contest between the center and the far right, where the center is closer to right leaning people than the extreme.

And only recently reopened.

If a voter sees themselves in a stark position of risking losing their property rights against losing every other right (or depriving a bunch of other people of their rights) and they vote to keep their property rights secure then they weren't agreeable allies at that point anyway. Probably are fairly horrible people generally.

I'm sure the next general election will go swimmingly if Labour just come out and say "vote for us and we will confiscate your property. Don't like it? Vote for the tories, you scumbag. You piece of poo poo."
