I'm actually fairly hopeful that a lot of the piss tory surge is coming from middle class FBPE types who would have just voted Conservative normally. I'd love to see some actual analysis of that, because pulling 1,000 from tory to yellow tory is still enough to flip a number of constituencies to Labour. Meanwhile there's a real chance that Labour policies, being a sharp break from the standard technocrat neolib concensus might actually engage the 30% of the population that don't bother to vote. Might be a vain hope, but the polling companies have massively screwed up the last two elections and the referendum so I really don't think their methods are actually representative.

This is truly excellent. And as one of the replies says the most surprising thing about this is a journalist actually asking for evidence, rather than just nodding and mh-hmming like they do for bald faced tory lies.Bobby Deluxe posted:Also the dog is still alive We regret to inform you the dog has been taxidermied.

Borrovan posted:gently caress the police quote:The grey squirrel is regarded as an invasive non-native species following its inclusion under Schedule 9 of the Wildlife and Country Act 1981. Under Schedule 9 of the WCA, it is illegal to release a grey squirrel into the wild, or allow one to escape, without a license granted by Natural England. This means if you trap one, you are obliged to humanely dispatch it. That's right, it's illegal to allow the bastards to escape. Now how do we get billionaires added to schedule 9 of the WCA.

According to her Bio she is an aspiring purveyor of Jewish breads. This is a cultural appropriation and hence an anti-semitism. Yes, even if she's Jewish. This is bad for Corbyn.

Jo Swindon posted:The Liberal Democrats are taking legal advice on their exclusion from a ITV leaders debate featuring Boris Johnson and Jeremy Corbyn. What is this absolute nonsense? How can you sue someone for excluding you from their own TV shows. We're outside or purdah and even if we weren't there's no legal requirement for leader debates. Also if there should be a third party it's obviously the SNP.

We can have a SpAd attack round too, between Cummings and the magic unaging Seamus Milne I know who I'd choose. Anyway the current plan is to have a program following on from the leadership debate for the 'lesser parties' to put their views across, which exactly matches the purdah rules. So this is really Jo; trying to force a legal argument that the lib dems have a realistic chance. Somehow not realising that every shred of evidence she tries to present also means the Brexit party should be included.

The last couple of days have really highlighted to me that the tory party is just loving disintegrating. So many 'moderates' quitting, the 'gaffes' that ten years ago would have seen people slung out on their ear, the sheer bloody incompetence of their electoral strategy so far compared to what seems like a labour blitz. Just ideologically brain dead and going through the motions. The problem is so many low-information voters just aren't going to realise and still loving vote for them out of inertia. Just look at those replies to Corbyn's revolution tweet and how few people even bothered to watch the first ten seconds of video. Depressing, as much as I hold out hope for real change.

Speaking of silly bets, odds on an overall Labour majority are now at 12/1 rather than the 22/1 I believe they were this time last week. Liberal democrat overall majority is generally sitting at 100-125/1, which is hilariously worse than the Brexit party at 80-100/1.

As several other people have said this thread has actually radicalised a lot of people. Me certainly, with actual leftish policies this is my second vote for Labour after having the "they're all the loving same" cynicism and voting for the funniest independent before then. There was also that one guy who was originally supposed to spy on this thread for capital and got radicalised, which is still hilarious.

Graundiad posted:Ofcom may investigate Kay Burley’s “empty chairing” of James Cleverly (see 9.56am), the Press Association reports. The media watchdog has received numerous complaints regarding the Sky News presenter’s actions. Complaints are understood by PA new agency to relate to Burley’s claims and the empty chair gesture. A spokeswoman for Ofcom said: “We are assessing these against our broadcasting rules before deciding whether or not to investigate.” Was the name on all these complaints a variation of 'J. V. Clever'. Good to see the tories are up to their usual flailing attempts at intimidation.

I've been psyching myself up to do this all week, so I think I have a new election slogan for the Conservatives. "Do you know the creeping sense of dread as, week after week, the water in your shower drains slower and slower? Until you find you're cutting short your morning ablutions just so the water doesn't spill over the lip and cascade through gaps in the tiles to the floor below? The Tories don't. The Tories have people for that. The conservative party is the physical embodiment of paying someone else to clean out the hairtrap in your shower. The Conservative Party: Vote for Job Creation. Vote for some poor sod to clean Johnson's shower for minimum wage" RockyB fucked around with this message at 17:40 on Nov 6, 2019 |

I'm talking specifically about the sediment cup type inserts you stick down the shower pipe, where you have to scoop the hair sludge out every once in a while. https://www.ebay.co.uk/i/1632203351...DCABEgLnBPD_BwE Honestly I think I'd rather have a straight pipe I can dump toxic chemicals down than a filter system that needs cleaning. But just imagine: A fetid, matted mass of lank blonde hair. Intermixed with the odd darker strand from Acuri, and the flop sweat of a grunting heavyweight tory politician. £8.21 an hour. £4.35 if you can find a young enough intern!

Conservatives just do not know how to react when members of the press don't have their tongue firmly wedged up tory arse. Sooner or later the sheer volume of crap might mean a few bits trickling down to those low information voters. Anyway if there's one thing you can say for Jo; Swindon, it's that unlike most of her party she's been a dyed in the tartan lib dem since the cheeky girl era.

Good morning all. As I do my bleary eyed pre-work trawl of the internet just look at this steaming pile of  quote:Even if Labour has the numbers to form a coalition government, I could see him failing to become PM. So many Labour MPs (even accounting for those who've abandoned the party or are stepping down) absolutely loathe him - would they actually back Corbyn as PM if they have a Labour alternative? What if the Lib Dems make "not Corbyn" a prerequisite for their support, and it's either this or rely on the SNP (which would surely lead to electoral disaster in the next election, especially if the Nats held and won indyref 2).
