i also found a daily mail article about that documentary which included the line: quote:So Cooke leaked to the student newspaper lurid details of student Tories singing Nazi songs, and then caused the national press to get involved. lol

of all the d&d/cspam twin threads, this one is probably the only cspam one that's substantially worse than the d&d one and it's clearly because of the presence of the perfidious yanquis and canucks. it's as if smearing their shitposts all over the walls of the millions of uspol threads isn't enough (USER WAS PUT ON PROBATION FOR THIS POST)

It's also worth noting that old social democratic parties in Europe are all incredibly rigid and hierarchical. Labour had gotten used to the way things went in the previous decades, everyone knew the rules and what to expect. There were turns and orders and steps to take. Most of Corbyn's career has been spent on the sidelines of the Labour party, a corner that was just roundly ignored. See the Blair quote about him during the nineties. What Corbyn essentially did by appealing to the membership was cut in line and mess up a lot of plans. Not only did he prevent the Next In Line from getting a shot at the big leagues, he also rendered the whole old process of getting ahead within the party useless - all those influential party members, kingmakers, etc felt the power slip from their fingers. And not only did he get in without playing by the rules, he most likely changed the way the entire game was played. Now they too have to appeal to the public, now they have to shift to the left, now they have to come out of the back offices and face the sunshine. Can't imagine the past pillars of the party being too happy about that.

the point isn't that she should've received a harsher sentence - she was treated fairly. it's not that the judge looked at her and thought 'she's white and smart, let's give her a pass.' but if she hadn't been white or smart/"promising" or whatever, that judge was far less likely to have been so fair and understanding.
