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 allows the front pages to put a picture of Corbyn next to a broken record with the headline SPOT THE DIFFERENCE.

John McDonnell was asked about the "deal" touted by Owen Jones where Corbyn would step down in favour of a younger left-wing candidate, as a few in this thread have considered. This was his response: https://twitter.com/jessicaelgot/status/837263821723009024

Cool analogies and everything but the problem is a number of people want Corbyn to be portrayed as a left-wing extremist, and they don't see it as a negative thing.

Jeza posted:If it is true, then the only reason it is true is because companies have fully manipulated the system in order to reach this point. I was once talking to a hiring manager at Costa, several years ago, and they told me that it was their unofficial policy to disregard applications by students and British nationals if there were reasonable candidates from lower income European countries because their data showed that people from Lithuania and so on would stay in the role for many years, saving them training costs and the costs of rehiring new staff. Well, yes, this is a roundabout way of describing the main driving force behind the Leave vote, it's by no means a unique circumstance.

There's definitely a change in the air - this BBC NHS article would usually have the top comments blaming immigrants and New Labour for the state of the NHS, but they're largely attacking Hunt and the Tories instead.

Here's the Corbyn Last Leg quote exactly: Presenter: So let me put it this way, okay, on a scale of one to ten, where one is "couldn't really care less about the EU", and ten is "I'm jumping on the couch like Tom Cruise on Oprah", how passionate are you about staying in the EU? Corbyn: Oh, I'd put myself in the upper half of the five to ten, so we're looking at seven, seven and a half... maybe seven, seven and a half"

Guavanaut posted:Is this pop eating itself or more people just tuning out of what's mass market popular and into their own filter bubbles/musical echo chambers? Music has always had fragmented scenes, but it's never been easier to be part of one without leaving your house. It's because there are only a couple of distinct groups who buy music these days, as opposed to stream/pirate it, so the music industry is going all out to focus on those groups. In Sheeran's case I think there's some loopholery afoot that is treating every track on his new album as a single but that's basically the idea.

Private Speech posted:I recently had a chat with this formerly-labour-supporting older chap who is now 100% behind May. His reason? There's far too many teenage pregnancies and young people are workshy and get everything given to them, not like he had in the 60s. I disagreed with him about the teenage pregnancies but didn't really have any stats to back it up, it just seemed wrong. Few days later I read this article in the Graun and it's just, uhh, what do you even say to someone who believes in the complete opposite of reality? Less than before can still constitute "far too many" (insert immigration analogy here), but I thik the overriding message here is that an 11 year old girl is due to give birth. Then again, I guess it's not a teenage pregnancy. LemonDrizzle posted:Brexit/Scotland This seems pretty logical - "They should stay with us and enjoy our freedom, but there's no way in hell I'll let them stand in the way of ours". I'm desperately trying not to invoke Braveheart at this point. Dabir posted:whatever it is it's a poll that should really be mostly about LGBT people being answered by over two-thirds straight people who think their opinion's worth so loving much. Do you think they should have specifically targeted LGBT people? How do you suppose they could have done that?

Qwertycoatl posted:It's probably for the best that they included options for "I'm not LGBT but I must give you the benefit of my vast wisdom" because otherwise they'd just pollute the sensible options. Heterophobia aside, I think it was a clever poll as it answers two questions at once while giving everyone who saw it a chance to share their opinion, while the main take-away from it is that just over 50% of LGBT people who responded feel comfortable enough to be themselves at work, which is a positive thing. The other question answered shows that ~60% of non-LGBT people do not believe it would be an issue, which is far harder to qualify outside of personal experience but is still positive.

I figured the Tories would wait until the boundary review, but then again that's 18 months away, and also 3/4 of the way into Taking Back Control, so they might want to get an election out of the way.

To go off track, if you'll recall the murder of a Polish man in Harlow last year, on Saturday a large mural by a Polish artist was unveiled there, in an attempt to build positive relations in the area. Naturally within hours it had been vandalised. "We are all in the same boat" indeed.

Taear posted:I would think most people haven't got any clue at all about what happened in Ireland. Or in India. Or anything beyond maybe the last 50 years of history - and even then it's only shaky. Pretend I linked that Graham Norton interview again where he says about how the Irish are far more in-tune with their history than the English. I'll stick it here if I can find it.
