I voted pissflaps but would honestly be ok with the beast as leader of the opposition and, hell, government. And when he wins we can just drop McDonnel there. e; Romulus raped the sabines and declared victory for Rome today. Personally I'm skeptical of our ability to accurately date events before rome, but there we go. Also the Bank was nationalised and Stalin died. Sad! Brave Hero Bobby Sands begins starving himself all the way to Westminster, more importantly. Spangly A fucked around with this message at 14:47 on Mar 1, 2017 |

40% of voters are either malicious or misinformed enough to burn everything to the ground (I'm being generous and not counting UKIP) and it's definitely nothing to do with the sole mechanism in place to inform the electorate on what happens in their country e; that is to say, either the media have nothing to do with voter intention, which is bad, being that is supposedly part of its job; or the media are right wing, which is bad, because that makes them scum vote lib dem or something idgaf, tories are bad people who do bad things to the world and should under no circumstance be tolerated Spangly A fucked around with this message at 15:11 on Mar 1, 2017 |

Let's save the NHS and fix our housing problems and make Britain a better place to live."

Fingerless Gloves posted:I haven't heard them mention in pmqs the fact that the tories have created so much debt before today. This is what Corbyn needs to loving hammer every single chance be gets. loving shout it out all the time, make some graphs and get that out there. this is exactly why I'd now support Skinner e; content/chance to harass MPs My lovely Mind newsletter posted:For many of us, our illness can be so debilitating that we can’t leave the house. In December, the courts recognised this. They ruled that people who find it difficult to get out and about because of psychological distress should be able to receive the highest rate of PIP. Having this extra support to avoid isolation is not an optional extra, or a nice to have – it’s essential. But now the Government is trying to rush through legislation to stop the court’s judgement from coming into effect. For us, this move flies in the face of their commitment to tackle the ‘burning injustice’ of mental health.

HJB posted:This allows the front pages to put a picture of Corbyn next to a broken record with the headline SPOT THE DIFFERENCE. I'm not really sure they could play that card well, though. If Corbyn manages to hit a public sore spot, and begins hammering it, the openly tory papers would have to ignore the argument. The media control the narrative and influence what people think about it, especially if it's even slightly technical. But if he begin scoring points daily on the NHS, nobody reading the sun will go "haha what a wanker" when their nan/mum/da dies of MRSA in a waiting room. For anyone interested he's still talking about disability cuts using the BIG NUMBER tactic today, but that'll be over in two weeks. Trying to address everyone's concerns at once is a real problem given the traditional tory approach to loving everything they ever go near. spiderbot posted:Will brexit affect the likelihood of another Lib Dem- Tory coalition? I can't see people who switched from Labour to Lib Dem over brexit being particularly happy about it. Pushing Farron on this would be hilarious given he's totally open to the idea

Baron Corbyn posted:The Lib Dems throwing away everything they stand for and alienating their voter base? No way would they do that. This is bad, tho; if voters are transitioning from Labour to LD because they aren't being represented on Brexit, and then the Lib Dems do what they always do, are they going to transition back? or are they going to drop off the electoral register. I'd be really interested if anyone has any numbers on the transition from LD 2010 - DNV 2015

hakimashou posted:You can work xenophobia to your advantage. Blame the tories' friends with their dirty Russian money for the price of housing. Remember, it's a privilege for a foreigner to own property in Great Britaine, make them pay some humongous tax for it. Did that, it failed. My god, what a waste of internet you are. Any hot takes about Armenia? Attacking the tories for being dodgy is a bit pointless. Tory voters are dodgy. They'd do it themselves. hakimashou posted:No we definitely are.

hakimashou posted:Was it couched in TYOOL2017 Britain 'auslander raus' rhetoric though? yeah it's definitely better that he fails whilst marching everyone towards nationalism than fails while not you're right and it doesn't lead to major problems and never has. You still haven't answered. White nationalists get shooty when their precious feelings get hurt, that's why they should never be tolerated. I'd prefer they were quarantined but saying "No, you're bad people, and should gently caress off" is always the appropriate response.

Pochoclo posted:Peers voting on EU citizen rights amendment. Some demonstration that I'm not a bargaining chip would be nice, IMO In the best spirit, you're a crap bargaining chip. Threatening to kick out masses of highly qualified immigrants and take back all the pensioners is a pretty loving sweet deal. For Spain. e;"lets trade doctors for millions of sickly unemployed people who will moan constantly and probably already vote tory but won't ever again" There are no words to describe how much I would like to be in the room at that moment

big scary monsters posted:Bad news, educated friends. According to the Adam Smith Institute, universities are worryingly lacking ideological heterogeneity, as too many lecturers are left-wing. This means they agree on everything and to prevent dangerous groupthink universities need to introduce ideological hiring policies to ensure more right-wing views are heard on campuses. the right wing are objectively wrong about everything they believe, of course we don't want them in loving universiites. They ruin the whole point of the endevour. Oberleutnant posted:Hitler on 30th April 1945 is my kind of right winger, and a positive role model for his followers. my entirely-too-liberal ex was really upset at all the pensioner protestors chanting "follow your leader" during the margate rally

J_RBG posted:Just FYI the big irony of the Adam Smith Institute's study is that it is nowhere near rigorous enough to pass muster in the average university. Also its proposed methods for dealing with it are just illegal. I doubt they've ever read any Smith, and everyone I've ever met who quoted Smith badly mangled the attempt to explain things he was flatly against (like modern libertarianism)

"Israel bad" is controversial among the non-Jewish public. Do we expect it to sit well with Jewish people just because they're Jewish?

hakimashou posted:It's no way to live. Drug addiction seriously compromises your free will and makes you less human. A cure for drug addiction would be one of the most beneficial of all medical discoveries. As usual you're an uninformed twat. The conditions of drug addiction dehumanise you. Certain drugs will dehumanise you. Taking heroin every day is a perfectly sustainable method of life, as literally everywhere that treats it with more heroin demonstrates. Their recoveries are quicker, their recidivism is lower. You don't treat someone with a coping mechanism by removing their coping mechanism and shouting "get over it". You treat it by establishing what the cause of this need is, and remove the coping mechanism only when that cause is dealt with.
