forkboy84 posted:Planes are bad for nearby transport. It's just a wasteful way to travel if you're not going hundreds of miles. Britain just isn't a big enough island for it to be a necessity. Especially not if we renationalise the railways and actually make train travel affordable again. It's a loving outrage that it's almost half the cost to fly to London & back from Inverness get a return to London on the train. High-speed rail is the other way to cut right down on intra-UK flights but of course we can't do that because ~the fields~

Gonzo McFee posted:Not appearing in public is probably May's best option. The narrative is already that she's too scared to do interviews, the more times she doesn't turn up the worse it'll get. Even if she just produces mindless soundbites (see that interview with the Plymouth Herald) the media can still talk about Strong And Stable No Deal Better Than A Bad Deal and go back to the Corbyn smear stories. They can't spin her simply not making appearances anything like as easily.

In my experience it's usually based on how long they've been here. Older first generation and second generation immigrants (usually south Asian and Caribbean) can sometimes get annoyed with recent immigrants (usually Eastern European) because they feel it's a lot easier to immigrate now (which it is, but that's not the fault of the recent immigrants).

namesake posted:My god unless Jeremy has taken up drinking in the last day or there's a member of family of an IRA victim in this audience this already feels like a win for Jeremy. Don't get me wrong, she's pretty awful to anyone watching, but if she can just keep on spouting meaningless catchphrases and buzzwords the Mail and the Sun will declare her the winner tomorrow morning for the benefit of hundreds of thousands of people who aren't watching right now. The only way she can get negative coverage from the Tory-aligned press is if one of the audience (or Dimbleby  ) manages to get in a good solid hit on her, and I don't think that's going to happen.

Sinteres posted:Get ready for the far right to convince people the media are afraid to show who the real enemy is if there's a concerted effort there. It's true that the media provide the oxygen that terrorism needs to breathe, but it's also true that people want to know this information, and trying to impose a media blackout will look to many like burying everyone's heads in the sand. I think a front page saying something like "we're not publishing photos of the perpetrators because we don't want to encourage others to follow in their footsteps" would be well enough received. The problem is getting all the editors to agree to that sort of policy.

Gyro Zeppeli posted:It's weird that they're refering to London Bridge and Borough Market as seperate events. Aren't they so close that it's extremely likely the same people just went from one to the other? It's a couple of hundred yards tops, it'd be a massive coincidence if they weren't linked in some way.

Doesn't the US suffer multiple mass shootings a week? I wouldn't go patting yourself on the back just because your mass murderers aren't brown.

Thanks Ants posted:Isn't the alternative to a "shoot to kill" policy a "let the firearms officer make their own decision" policy? Like people are getting bent out of shape because Corbyn favoured the person pulling the trigger to be able to make the decision. Or have I horribly misunderstood? The "shoot to kill" policy which Corbyn opposes is not "shoot someone who's wearing a bomb vest/holding a gun/knife and is about to do imminent harm to someone", it's "shoot the people we know/believe/vaguely suspect to be terrorists so that they never get as far as possibly harming someone". Of course, the papers immediately spun it as the first option so they could call him a terrorist sympathiser some more.

The Insect Court posted:It's not that I disagree with this stance but I do find it an amusing irony that the thread consensus has moved from "It's the fault of our foreign policy, innit?" The foreign policy in question isn't fighting ISIS, it's the use of bombing tactics which result in large numbers of civilian casualties, which ISIS then use in their "Islam v the West" propaganda which results in more Muslims being radicalised.

to "They're apocalyptic genocidal cultists who can't be reasoned with, only destroyed!" 
. Doesn't seem as if you can have both be true.

"we don't know if any opportunity to prevent this attack was missed" says a BBC report which also interviewed three people who said they'd reported one of the attackers as being radicalised.

spectralent posted:He's lost an election while having had to fight his party almost as much as the opposition, and will have come drat close. That's not a result that says he's inherently hopeless and could never win, as claimed; that suggests short sighted idiots sabotaged a good thing. Plus his polls and favourability ratings have shot up since the election campaign, now the public have read the manifesto and seen what he actually stands for, and seen him give speeches and interviews which weren't edited into a 30-second hit piece for the BBC website. Imagine where he'd be now if he hadn't spent 18 months being portrayed as an unelectable, weak, indecisive, anti-Semitic Communist by members of the media and of his own party.
