Lord_Adonis posted:If sense does not return to the House of Commons, then I can see no alternative but for the Armed Forces to step in and allow for a government of national unity to be formed, which can put an end to this Brexit madness. Mate, that's a teeny bit odd. I don't think people are going to go for it, I think that the best we can hope for is a Norway style trade deal, and that wouldn't be bad necessarily. Maybe not as good as what we have now, but not bad.

Quick things guys a person I know from Uni who is very much a centreist posted this on FB:quote:What is the idea behind Corbyn dodging basic questions about whether the IRA engaged in terrorism? Is it a peace-process thing? Does he think that saying something like "Yes, they killed many people, and that is wrong and indefensible and I have always deplored it" would destabilise the situation? Any response to this that'd satisfy?

Orange Devil posted:Social democrats are not democratic socialists. Still the best examples that can presently be pointed at. I live in London, I "know" as much as anything that I am unlikely to be a victim to this sort of thing, but I do feel worried. But, if it comes right down to it, I realise the fear is irrational. I've been to those pubs, I was walking past parliament a day before the attack there. The thing is that I can't stop these things from happening, certainly not by getting scared every time it happens.

So, and this is pure hypothetical, can the Conservatives just not propose any legislation over the next 5 years? Like, if they are scared of not getting it through government, why not just put through small bills from various local causes that don't cause much of a fuss?

Obliterati posted:It's my own pet theory, but as politicians get ever more reliant on pliant media to do their campaigning for them, ever less competent/personable people can get to the top. Campaigners like May would have gone down in flames fifty years ago, where some degree of talking to unconvinced voters was required. Thatcher, for all her faults, would never have made unforced errors like May/Cameron. Instead you get folk like May, who are really good at the closed-door scheming needed to get handed a safe seat, into the Cabinet, positive media coverage from friendly journos, plunging knives into her colleagues, etc. May has never faced a serious political challenge in her life - this is literally the first time she's had to seriously engage with the electorate. I mean on an academic level I understand this, but... I mean... these people lost their lives in their homes. A tragedy with obvious parralels to how the country is run couldn't be easier to find, and instead we have someone having such difficulty to stop making mistakes and almost insulting the people who have suffered, it almost beggars belief.

Bacon Terrorist posted:Can't believe how many loving turds think it's extreme to suggest victims of the fire are temporarily housed in some of the 20,000 vacant houses in London because 'it's not fair on the millionaires' apparently, it's possible the only way to get through to these idiots is with violence Not necessarily, I still think it can be changed but people need to realise that money is worth basically nothing before you can really realise that "oh wait, its more important that people are clothed, fed and housed than we can say a small group of people made more money".

There was a link a few pages back about how those sort tend to end up dead. Someone linked a buzzfeed article that had some strong implications that a deal was done to "shut up" some of Russia's people to encourage investment in London.

Personally, and this is solely a personal opinion here, I hope that the Tories get in, get less and less popular, don't quite screw us entirely on Brexit and then Labour comes in at the end to start the rebuilding. I am saying this because I think Brexit is, fundamentally, a poisoned cup to whichever party drinks from it.

forkboy84 posted:That's some tight budgeting. I'm far too frivolous. I have stacks of books I insist I will read one day but that day probably isn't in the next year or two and yet I seem to always end up with more. Me, my cousin and 3 others. It's not too bad really, the budget just gets saved up from holidays and birthdays. Sometimes I'll go out and have a meal (about once a week), but other than that it takes a lot of work. Its a pain in the rear end more than anything as I can't save up any money. We do have a garden. I'm going to be growing some herbs over the next few months so that I don't have to buy them.

happyhippy posted:No offense, but ditch paying to the gym and charities until you can get something better or some savings. I do have a fair amount set aside in savings, from when I was living at home/money from grandparents and I have a line to my folks in case something disastrous happens. I have resources to call on if necessary. But thanks for the concern, others need the money more than I do though.

goddamnedtwisto posted:Without a penny going to the Murdoch empire: That is really self-promoting and really really stupid. Does he believe that the word of random white guy number 545 is going to beat actual economists who think austerity is bullshit, or peoples lived experience of it? Or that the jobs are all 0 hour? Or that, as much as you might earn with a degree frequently people don't, and why do we have to pay for it if you don't? Also we can look into why third world countries are poor, frequently it's because of Capital investment and the backing up of warlords and shitheads by capitalists. And soemtimes people don't mind paying for things if they are going to be using them. That and "Mention Venezuela"... Christ that is stupid.
