If someone gets made a peer, how do they pick the "of Such-and-Such" part? Does the person get to pick it themself? Could farage be Baron Farage of Ukip if he wanted?

Maybe the lack of any far left wing governments in our lifetimes in Britain and the abysmal performance in polls of Corbynismo just go to prove it's unpopular and not what British people want.

Maybe Labour needs a leader who will say "fine, if Britain doesn't want immigrants we won't have immigrants. Let's save the NHS and fix our housing problems and make Britain a better place to live."

feedmegin posted:Are you advocating a form of socialism based on nativism? Sort of a 'national' socialism? Would it have camps? All I know is that Britain sounds pretty bad. Like here in America we are a nation of immigrants, but you guys were colonial oppressors and you even say that your best prime minister in a generation was a war criminal. What you're doing now with Corbyn, it ain't workin. The brits want bad, sure, but does it have to be all bad, like with the tories? Maybe you can find a way to mix some good in with the bad. It's got to be worth a shot.

Spangly A posted:Blair lost 3 million votes. Milliband lost an election. Owen Smith* ran a leadership campaign and isn't even recognised by 40% of voters. Owen smith looked like a dipshit. The average British working man sees these tories and thinks "thems some nasty fuckers them" and believes when they say 'no more immigrants' that they mean it.

Regarde Aduck posted:This is most likely true. But that just means these people should be reeducated. The German people were also wrong when they supported the Nazis. The majority can, and often is, wrong about things. How are you going to reeducate anyone? Reeducation isnt an ever-shrinking group of people outside in the cold agreeing with one another. I think the British left needs to choose its battles and take a hard look at what matters and what is possible. Brits were willing to leave the EU over the issue of immigration. The leave campaign talked a lot of poo poo, but Nigel Farage was not wrong when he said "you can't both limit immigration and remain in the EU." Look what people picked. 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.

I'm not sure what on earth that has to do with our Leader of the Opposition in 2017 and I'm not sure that an American is in the best place to tell us what we should be doing better given the results on the ground over there No we definitely are. You guys voted for brexit, we voted for Hillary. poo poo's hosed up, but the American people were wise. Also lol at the Phillipenes vs The British Empire.

J_RBG posted:Soldiers in the British Empire wore red coats u melon And their French counterparts wore red pants. Like the brits were "red coats" to the same extent the French were "red pants." Barbara Tuchman posted:To clothe the French soldier in some muddy, inglorious color, declared the army's champtions, would be to realize the fondest hope of Dreyfusards and Freemasons. To banish "all that is colorful, all that gives the soldier his vivid aspect," wrote the Echo de Paris, "is to go contrary both to French taste and military function." Messimy pointed out that the two may no longer be synonymous, but his opponents proved immovable. At a parliamentary hearing, a former War Minister, M. Etienne, spoke for France. hakimashou fucked around with this message at 00:38 on Mar 3, 2017 |

Saying "you shouldn't push addictive drugs on people, it's wrong" shouldn't be controversial, even here and even with you. I don't know the answer to drug addiction, but I do know that if we did discover an answer it would make life significantly better for a significant number of people. And I don't have a sympathetic bone in my body for people who profit from getting people hooked on narcotics. hakimashou fucked around with this message at 13:33 on Mar 4, 2017 |

Spangly A posted:Giving people drugs while you perform therapy helps people off drugs forever. In Switzerland the average addiction time, once in therapy, is two years. During this time the addict can maintain a normal life, plateaus their use, and then is able to permanently quit drugs. I sincerely hope that works for people.

It's hard to forgive sanders for smearing the poo poo he did all over the DNC and encouraging the fruitcakes. But everyone figured trump would get annihilated, so what can you do  I'm proud the DNC fought off a corbyn style disaster. Politics matters, it's not a game for dumb idealistic college students.

Don't Lol me posted:As If the public care about who gives the sickest burns in PMQs - again, the tories have been caught out being straight up shits with corruption and idiotic budgeting, and yet they go up in polls. They either don't care to know, it's expected, or just straight up like the whole narrative that has been set for the last 6+ years. He is wrong and so are you. This is just excuse-making for corbyn and it is pathetic defeatist garbage. This "corbyn cannot fail, he can only be failed, if things are bad it isn't his fault, it is somone else's fault" poo poo is revolting. Shame on you. I get it was cool and fun for corbyn to beat all those awful bad guys and sure show them, but it doesn't make him a good leader. Times are tough? That's when you need a good leader more than ever, more than any other time. Imagine if the British had all been defeatist slags during the Blitz. Imagine if it was corbyn instead of Winston Churchill.
