It's not that the messages are inherently simpler and easier to get across, it's that the right has endless resources and opportunity to propagate them.

Pissflaps posted:Polling data has told us that labour disunity is way behind the leadership itself when it comes to understanding why people are turning away from labour. Distinguishing between 'disunity' and 'leadership' as causes of something is not within the power of polls to do.

Your perception of party unity affects your perception of the leadership. Averaging over a poll sample won't clarify that.

Alchenar posted:The only commentary I've seen by people actually involved in the NI peace process on Corbyn and McDonnell is that by lionising violent resistance at the precise point that the IRA leadership was trying to bring the footsoldiers around to accepting disarmament, their 'involvement' as it was represented an unwelcome problem for everyone. Which may well have been the case, but you can hardly expect people to act based on the assumption that the government, while publicly furiously opposing getting round the table, is secretly working towards it.

Rolling news is just garbage, BBC News 24 is getting people phoning in one by one and trying to get each one to positively confirm the explosion as caused by bomb, presumably identified by seeing a ticking clock and several red sticks.

Ugh the BBC keep discussing bag searches like no-one in the studio has ever been to a concert in their life. Apart from anything else, they're completely oblivious to the idea that if there was a bag check, it'd usually be conducted in the foyer and wouldn't have helped anyway.

Rakosi posted:My facebook feed is full of "this is sad and all but whats really bad is how the tories will spin this!". That is actually what is really bad. For thousands of people continued Tory government is a direct threat to their life already, and a Tory government coming in off the back of a terrorist attack is going to look at right-wing policies for dealing with it, which judging by newspaper columnists on Twitter are a sliding scale from internment camps to genocide. This might be difficult to understand if you're stuck on understanding politics as a sort of suited-up football match.

AP posted:Labour freely decided to put Jeremy "arrested at Brighton Bomber trial protest" Corbyn in charge with his pals Diane "every defeat of the British state is a victory for all of us" Abbott & John "It's about time we started honouring those people involved in the armed struggle" McDonnell. The "brand" is different in that one "brand" now has elected MPs in parliament. The comparison only remotely holds because our press are willing to jeopardise peace in northern island by rewriting history to make Corbyn, who is a borderline pacifist, look worse.

Oberleutnant posted:The funniest thing I can tell you is that Rhodes spent most of the 2nd Boer War besieged in Kimberley, throwing a constant fit about it. There are a bunch of telegrams to the Brit government whining about how if they don't send an army to relieve him personally and immediately he and his company (ie de Beers) are going to unilaterally open negotiations with the Boers. Wonderful. What a cock.

AP posted:Sinn Féin had MPs before the Good Friday agreement (though obviously they never take their seats) funny how those talking about rewriting of history have such a poor understanding of it. I'd have more respect for Corbyn if he was at least honest about his historic support for the IRA. Still he's done the same thing about EU membership since he became leader so at least he's consistent in telling people what he thinks they want to hear. I mean, great? The point is that sympathy for republicanism is in no way even remotely similar to sympathy for ISIS as a position for a UK politician to take.

Pochoclo posted:Correct. The media (other than maybe The Sun) don't really have an agenda other than making money. Every single thing they do is informed by that goal. Even the Mail just really caters to its audience. Newspapers in the UK have been at best coasting and at worst wildly unprofitable for years. Individual journalists have a motivation to stay employed in a shrinking field, but the newspapers themselves are run primarily for their ideological influence. e.g. https://www.theguardian.com/media/2017/jan/05/the-sun-losses-advertising-hacking-charges-profits-revenues

I won't be shocked when the communities that produce mass murderers vote to keep the governments who allowed that behavior to continue in place. Maybe you'd like to toxx on the general outcome of your nation's election instead of your chosen ethnic enclave? Do you think they will remain permissive as ever or choose strong and stable? Mmm, tell me more about these communities who are tactically voting to preserve their murder factories.

Lord_Adonis posted:That is certainly part of it, but Labour seem to be as evasive about these Brexit issues as the Tories (Without the antagonistic rhetoric of course). Because there's literally no good way of ensuring these things and attempting to explain that would be essentially arguing against Brexit, which would be incredibly unpopular. Labour aren't going to jump on that landmine voluntarily.
