You'll want a sewing machine, used leather goods and preferably some old sporting equipment or motorcycling gear for your raider outfit. It might be a good idea to invest in a muscle car and begin welding some spikes to it now, just to stay ahead of the game a bit.

Chrome spray. Can't forget the chrome spray.

Is there any chance that XR is doing the Ghandi-style "walk smilingly into their ~~machineguns~~prison cells" thing to try and normalise protest over climate crisis, and also make people see how even that friendliest, most cooperative activism gets cracked down, to show there's a need for far more radical action?

not that it makes it good or effective, but is there a goal behind trying to bring everyone in and then get them arrested as quickly as possible?

People always forget (or rather, don't know) that Gandhi's strategy partly worked because there were other pro-independence factions that were very much advocating violent action. He might not have said it explicitly but he was setting himself up as an acceptable alternative.

love too protest against an occupying power with my colonizer mindset

Although it probably isn't the best look on the world stage when they're waving the butcher's apron around.

Criticism of the PRC can also veer into yellow peril territory, depending on who does it (read: right-wing Americans). It's not a good look when you see articles about "the Chinese".

quote:

The Liberal Democrats have launched a new poster campaign that parodies the “Careless Talk Costs Lives” second world war poster.

Their “Careless Votes Cost Lives” poster replaces the two gossiping diners in the original with Boris Johnson and Jeremy Corbyn.

The quote reads: “…thanks for your help comrade, we finally got Brexit over the line!”

Wait, is the whole thing the poster, or is that their poster side-by-side with the original for us to compare?

Because if your reference needs the original next to it for people to get it, maybe it's not a good reference.

I'm not sure, I just grabbed the image from the Guardian liveblog.

However, if the government subsidises a thing, that's interfering with the free market.

Ah but you see, the US military uses guns and guns = freedom, ergo the US military = freedom. QED :911:

So will this be in the form of separate network ports with white and coloured labels?

They'll have a separate WiFi named "Yellow Peril".

Beeb's top story atm is that Boris has said the election "will be tough" and the subheader is about Jezza saying this is a "once-in-a-generation" opportunity.

I'm not gonna say this means very much at all, but between this and the hilarious disparity between the social media videos today, there certainly seems to be more energy on one side that the other...

When are the media required to start giving impartial coverage, by the way?

I was going to make a joke reply about lib dems having positions similar to electrons, they say it exists but good luck actually finding it

but i didn't want to do a disservice to electrons

Joking about the Lib-Dems is redundant while they exist.
