Reveilled posted:Regarding a discussion from the last thread, there was something that happened with the whole alexis kennedy thing, one of the victims made a post and then they deleted their twitter and people were talking about it being a knife twist by kennedy or something. What happened? Zoe Quinn outed some other sex pest in games and apparently he offed himself this morning. This, of course, is Quinn's fault, along with erectile dysfunction and male pattern baldness and why my ex wife took the kids.

Social care is a goddamn nightmare as anyone who has had to try and sort it out for a deteriorating relative knows. Electable or not it's a vital policy.

Though as we're illustrating that's under threat of "you're dead if you leave lol" That's more of a capitalism problem than an EU problem though.

Also good luck getting new candidates if corbyn voncs you next week lol. This is like operation barbarossa if instead of the molotov ribbentropp pact hitler kept sending stalin messages saying "i'm gonna fight you lol, real soon" and stalin read them and said "hmm what I need is a purge!"

Yeah but unlike Russia I don't think Boris Johnson can move the entire conservative party a thousand miles east and churn out a metal, diesel powered candidate every few hours.

When you don't understand what the EU does at all (which if you're voting to leave it, you almost certainly don't) it's not hard to also fail to understand why leaving it might be quite harmful. It doesn't require an increase in ignorance, basically.

Not really sure that dom cummies and the idiot squad are particularly personally powerful though. They're literally the bottom of the barrel of tory morons. Like the government has basically no majority and is running terrified of even the slightest legislative opposition, they're not really doing a very good job of appearing in charge.

There is a possibility that a majority of parliament will continue to support Johnson even if he literally tells them he's doing what he wants and they don't get a say any more. But that's not the same thing as the police siding with him personally over parliament, which I think is unlikely.

Pochoclo posted:Hasn’t the Tory government already defied a whole bunch of court orders with literally no consequence? They've very passively aggressively complied with bercow giving them strongly worded letters to do as he says. I'm fairly sure that bercow actually outranks Johnson in the context of parliamentary authority and I think he probably would respond to boris actually telling him to get bent by sending the parliamentary polis round, which he personally commands, basically.

As far as I am aware, the UK sells buildings in London that nobody lives in to Russians who never visit and then sends the money to China and Poland to buy cheap tat and food. And also people in the UK sell buildings to each other for ever increasing numbers of monies and this generates wealth.

Private Speech posted:Aside from everything else I just don't see immediate immigration enforcement as realistic - the UK currently indefinitely (though for the majority, albeit a slim one, it's only a couple months) locks up about 30k people per year for eventual deportation. "Government writes laws it has no capacity to enforce" is brexit in a nutshell and part of why I'm not convinced boris has any idea what he's doing.

Also unlike trump he's going to be going up against a competent left wing opposition with actually good policies. Though I'm not particularly keen on running the last dying howl of the lead posioning generation vs socialism. I wish there some way to off the buggers a bit more quietly.

Digging in their changes is absolutely vital for a labour government and transfer of ownership is something I've really hoped would be a way of doing that. I'm glad they're taking it seriously.

One of the few things I like about my job is that despite the poo poo pay I get a lot of flexibility on when I work. Which is nice, eg, when I can choose to bunk off whenever the weather behaves to go to the beach or the moors. Not working is great and I encourage everyone to do it whenever possible.

Josef bugman posted:This seems to have been going on for years though. When did the folks who started believing the lies made up to justify greater personal power for the rich really start becoming the folks in charge? About a hundred years ago Though more seriously this is the big effect of neoliberalism, it only took a generation or so for the people formed under "socialism lost now we are in the endless age of fiddling with the dials on capitalism" to become the ones in power. And now that, shockingly, capitalism isn't stopping crisising just because the USSR isn't around any more, they have no loving clue how to deal with anything. Further amplified by the blair brand of politics where all that matters is your big grimacing boy up front and we'll never have to worry about anything else because, clearly, they'll be around for ever! See also: Cameron, Obama. When the golden boy goes away you're left with their dregs who only existed to prop up the big clever candidate, and then they all roll around in the poo poo trying to figure out who should be the best big clever candidate. Only none of them are because they weren't picked for being brilliant they were picked to do as they were told.
