Seeing a lot of "I'm voting lib dem because they are the party of remain!!!" on twitter which is pretty disheartening.

All that's going to result in is a lot of lib dem candidates killing lab chances of beating the tories, just so they can come in 2nd place.

But I might be able to parlay a distant second place into an extremely minor media position! Or not because by then I've served my purpose. But it's definitely worth a shot!

The thread is mostly social democrats, except for a guy who got so over-eager about chasing out a communist that he accidentally did holocaust denial.

I've never been chased out of UKMT, and in fact i don't know who you are

if you've got archives you can look back through my post history and find the entire conversation i was alluding to if you want. said holocaust denier justified himself as "challenging tankies on their bullshit", which, you know, is a hell of an excuse for insisting the nazis didn't gas people in vans

does tintower still post in here? i know a lot of mileage was gotten out of that coconut thing

Of course you don't know who I am, because I am not a noisy oval office like you. I'm merely someone who had to read your shite and is glad you're gone.

You made the accusation, you dig it up. And I wasn't suggesting it was false, I said that it was uselessly vague. As are you.

And good job, arguing that an unrepentant racist should be quietly forgiven despite refusing to acknowledge or admit fault really helps your cause.

Labour are trying to do that with the Common Ground Trusts but it's a much slower process because of the amount of horse trading and development that has gone on since their original theft. It's more like a branch fell in your yard and I stole it and then paid some poor Scots a pittance to carve it into a horse and then sold it to someone else and they paid a decorator to carve to my darling wife for our 10th anniversary and then they died and left it to their kid and now their kid's selling it for ten times what they bought it for.

Goes directly against their stated aims though. Can anyone name a Lib Dem policy other than “stop brexit”? Best way to achieve that is by not standing candidates in marginal labour seats with a strong remain vote, where they themselves have no chance of winning. Tbh I think it would be good for them; start rebuilding some of the trust that was so badly betrayed with the coalition.

worth reflecting whether you would consider Starmer or Thornberry or Rayner unacceptably too liberal; they're all positioning themselves in case Corbyn gets crushed at the polls in December and does the honourable thing

none of these people have Corbyn's surviving-veteran-of-battles--when-Thatcher-was-PM stripes. Also, unlike political veterans who are still around four decades later, they have more viable rivals and more enemies made in relevant political questions rather than old, buried ones.

Yes, Corbyn killed and ate his rivals long ago. This was before he switched to vegetarianism, which gave him his other superpower:

torn by the new edinburgh buses with the separate doors for leaving, slightly more efficient but also makes it difficult to thank the driver without shouting across the length of the bus, and it just doesn't do to make a scene now does it, what would society think

I moved from London to Edinburgh 4 years ago, so I kept accidentally trying to leave buses through a nonexistent second doorway. Then when I'd got used to that the new buses with their second doorways confused me :D

The text visible in the Tweet is absolutely correct that the elites should be hearing alarm bells when a populist message resonates with the people so much that even the party of the elites, led by a man who typifies the elite, are joining Farage in aping the message.

I think we should have means tested car parking fees at hospitals to address the issue Peter Walker has raised.

Or would that be a silly waste of time and money, much like Peter Walker?

Edit: We should charge those who can afford it 17 pennies to park so that they will not do so frivolously.
