Hahaha I called that loving slug in the front row as a Young Tory in the first few seconds. Glad to have it confirmed as he's the one grim gently caress who's always around to stick up for zero hours contracts.

It was one bad interview session at 9pm on a friday night when everybody's out on the lash. Theresa May has had this every single time she's been in front of a camera. I wouldn't stress over it too much tbh. The nukechat was depressing as gently caress, however.

It really seemed to get to Corbo, people's absolute lust for the bomb.

"Would you actually nuke someone" is irrelevant, if it ever gets that far MAD failed anyway. "Would you say you'd be willing to nuke someone as part of the elaborate shell-game of nuclear security the entire world has been invested in due to cold war dick-waving" is all that matters, and Corbyn said "maybe", so our part of the charade's done. Nobody's going to nuke us.

The Type-59 is a communist tank made by China, which is probably more of an actual threat than the idea of them glassing Liverpool.

North Korea might, with all that money we've been giving them.

Realised today that it's just about a year since people were demanding that the previous Tory PM resign. Of course he then went on and did, but not really in the way anyone wanted.

Getting rid of Abbott, for reasons of either illness or chronic incompetence isn't necessarily related to race or racism, but probably more due to illness or chronic incompetence.

I think if they're saying it's illness that'd be an outrageous story to make up, so it's probably that. Just saying that it being a 'vote winner' shouldn't be a good enough reason on its own to start throwing your black female MPs under a bus.

Sure, this election has proven that advertising never has any effect on people's behavior. Probably should just get rid of all the existing restrictions on election advertising too.

C'mon, I'm not saying advertising has no impact whatsoever, but there was a story bouncing around in the media in the run up to the election that what Cambridge Analytica do is basically functioning wizard magic and with the power of machine learning ad targeting on side the right would never lose another election.

Appalling Tory types seem to have settled on the discarded PLP idea that a moderate Labour leader would have beaten May and therefore Corbyn technically did badly. They're such snakes.

The story is the same from the Tories and the Labour right. Corbyn is irrelevant, it was May and her disastrous manifesto wot lost it.

Of course this theory ignores the fact that she got 43% of the vote, meaning the Tory party was actually extremely popular, and she just suffered because Corbyn's Labour is also extremely popular.

It ignores that the Conservative campaign can only possibly be terrible in relation to the Labour one. Like well over 50% of the Tory stuff which flopped was attacks on Corbyn.

They're releasing the count of people reported missing who they've located dead or failed to locate among the survivors. The problem is that there's clearly another number, the number of unidentified bodies they've recovered from the tower, which isn't getting mentioned even as something we *ought* to know - and this is odd given that, for example in coverage of the Manchester arena bombing, the media were up all night and the next day reporting any speculation so long as they could find one local resident to state it out loud.

There's no particular reason for May or the BBC to not call it a terrorist attack. The meme is just that typically, through inattention and structural racism, they don't. Feels like it happened with such consistency for so long that both leftists and raving fascists have ascribed a conspiracy to it.

Is that protest in London actually happening? I've seen nothing about it other than right wingers hyperventilating over John McDonnell whipping up a violent mob.

There's three facebook events, two of which are run by SWP shills, and none of them have more than a few hundred attendees. For contrast, the protest outside Downing Street last weekend had a few thousand. It's pretty much just that right-wing journalists have absolutely poo poo themselves at seeing it was called "Day of Rage".

No that's because this year is a dress-down with less ceremony, on account of the delay mucking up the schedule so that all the horses or whatever the gently caress couldn't practice the real ceremony properly. Or some similar stupid bullshit.

It's a combination of the two. The dress-down is highly unusual and is probably really on account of the Queen being really old, the weather being really hot, and the Ascot being difficult to attend in full regalia.

Ah sweet, an excuse to post all the videos of bees I filmed out of my window at the beginning of the month. Between 12 and 6pm they were just methodologically working over this one bush which leans into my back garden. Since it got really really hot I haven't seen them out.

Do they really think that this whole 'Corbyn = Venezuelan catastrophe' line is sticking? I've seen it everywhere and so far I don't know anybody who's impressed except for thumb people.

Venezuela in recent years is a favourite flogging horse for Tory types because aside from anything else, it's almost impossible to find anything approaching impartial coverage of events, let alone in English media. So they can say "lol socialist country failing" and it's very difficult to cite solid information about why that's wrong.
