No, but you see, that's Corbyn's fault because his office didn't deliver a soundbite to a paper within half an hour.

I guess it might be for single parents with a dozen children, but wasn't there a thing that showed that the number of those cases in the entire country was countable on both hands? Presumably she's thinking of tabloids screaming about "unemployed man lives in a 12-bedroom mansion paid for with YOUR TAXES" and "benefits mum has 17 children by 20 DIFFERENT MEN" and unwilling and/or too stupid to realise that cases like these make up a vanishingly small minority of benefits claimants.

learnincurve posted:I'm still going to go with if the local labour councillors don't bother campaigning or sending out leaflets because they, like Kinnock, believe the election to be in the bag, and the Tory councillors buy four pages, including the front cover, of a local newspaper with a very high circulation and send in Theresa loving May to Clay Cross of all places, then it might not be entirely Corbyn's fault that they suffered monumental losses in the Derbyshire council elections. The Tory who won the West Midlands mayoral election is widely assumed to have done so because he (as the former MD of John Lewis) spent about 10 times more on the election than the rest of the candidates put together. Democracy's dead, people just vote for whoever has the deepest pockets.

Zephro posted:So Corbyn was asked half a dozen times by Laura Kuenssberg whether Brexit would still happen if Labour won and he dodged the question every time. I get the impression Labour are trying to be clever by being all things to all people on Brexit and creating what they imagine is useful ambiguity so that both Remainers and Leavers will feel they can vote for them. But it isn't working - they just look like idiots and/or crypto-Leavers who don't have the courage to say so out loud. I wouldn't be surprised if Corbyn refuses to give Kuenssberg a straight answer to any question ever again.

jabby posted:I think it's more the juxtaposition that Corbyn is pressed repeatedly on serious issues and is never allowed any leeway to dodge the question, whereas May takes only pre-approved questions from journalists, doesn't answer them, and this is never reported as a serious issue. She is even allowed to outright lie, for example by making false claims about Ed Miliband's energy price freeze, and it is not reported. Meanwhile an evasive (and admittedly stupid) answer from Corbyn is dramatic enough to top the six o'clock news. Exactly. One the one had you've got Laura Kuenssberg taking a hatchet to Corbyn where whatever answer he gives is going to be spun into bad news for him, and on the other you've got Alex Jones lobbing softball questions to Theresa May about who does the washing up at home in an attempt to make her seem like an actual non-terrible human.

Evil_Urna posted:Prison labor, which is paid for the most part, is not only good for the prisoner as he is paying off his debt to society through work, it is edifying to the spirit and can make a man better. This is literally the same argument that the Victorians used to justify workhouses. Also, while you're patting yourself on the back for paying inmates for their work, remember that their "wage" is less than a dollar per hour.
