Prince John posted:I seem to remember a few articles some months ago saying he was moving his entire office (I presume there are many people employed there) back into London, so he had a base to campaign on Brexit from. He may actually here, in which case it's worth mentioning there is still £10k in the kitty if you manage a citizen's arrest.

To be fair, though, these sort of wanky, shithead parties are always the first ones to arrive and camp out a prominent spot with a giant rear end stupid loving banner at any event where they think they can get a pic in the papers. The don't actually do anything productive or helpful to any cause or event that they poisonously and forcibly associate themselves with, and nobody wants them there, but you're often forced to endure their presence as long as they're not actively being twatish cunts. I guess that if McDonnell was booked to speak those banners were there long before he turned up to do his five minute bit, so he didn't have much choice other than moving it somewhere else, which night not've been an option in terms of moving the audio/visual equipment necessary for delivering a speech to a large crowd. I've been to any number of anti racism demos and counter-marches, and you always see the twats from the SWP lurking around with the biggest banners and black bin bags full of ready-made SWP placards that they're trying to hand out to anyone gullible enough to take one. Never see them up front when the bricks start flying though.

If people aren't voting in their best interests the best hing you can do, rather than talking about them being stupid ignorant racist cunts on the internet, is try to get involved in some grass roots activism and show your principles by example and hope to win people over. Without the money, power, or other resources of a major political party it's about the best thing you can do. But it takes a lot of time, a lot of patience, and a huge resistance to burnout because political activism is often soul destroying stuff.

Regarde Aduck posted:Remember when Scots posters claimed the death of Scottish Labour and the rise of the SNP was because they were so left wing. Yeah. This has all ended in tears. Who would have thought? There's this really persistent myth that Scotland is inherently left wing, but the tories were strongly represented across Scotland for most of the 20th century, often having near parity in voteshare with Labour. It was really only Thatcher that murdered their support there, but now I suppose people are old enough to have forgotten or young enough not to remember.

Hoops posted:I was aware of this but there's nothing there that equals "convictionless careerist". It was part of a spread that the Sun was doing called "the Sun CABinet", geddit?  Not just a random cab he jumped into. And the point isn't that he did a thing for the Sun (although it is a disgusting piece if poo poo newspaper, a lot of politicians have been dirtied by association with it and still gone on to successful careers). It's that he took the Sun's money and/or publicity when that suited him, and then he tried to play the big man standing strong with the victims and survivors of Hillsborough and act like he was just too pure to have anything to do with a Murdoch paper. The man has no principles and his only priority is his own survival and advancement.
