It's theoretically been over for hours, but because it's so foggy and light polluted up here nobody's quite sure when the first three stars came out.

Does that mean that in outer space it's always Shabbat, or that it's never Shabbat? Is space antisemitic?

Hmmmm Labour is proposing abolishing tuition fees, making education free for everyone... I wonder what the most centrist, meltiest, actually useless way of gaining student voters would be...

I know!

quote:

A Liberal Democrat government will provide every adult with £10,000 to spend on education and training throughout your lives. This “Skills Wallet” is meant to give every person the opportunity to retrain and upskill for jobs that we can’t even imagine yet.

Maybe you should stop treating politics like a cult.

It’s not a cult, it’s just that when you finally find an actual honest politician with good achievable goals you sort of uh, want them to win, you know.

I mean have you loving seen stuff like hardcore Peronism? I think you either haven’t seen a real cult of personality political movement, or are being intellectually dishonest

What I don’t get about the toilets thing is, what exactly is stopping a cisgender male from going into a women’s toilets and doing all those bad things you think the fake trans will do?

I mean, if there’s someone raping someone else in a toilet you’d think the way they look wouldn’t be a factor in them getting stopped. And it’s not like there’s a magical barrier preventing cis men from entering a toilet

My friend is worrying about a Labour government, because the house she'll inherit when her parents die is worth over 450k. Her parents are both voting Tory because of the marriage tax allowance thing, inheritance tax and because "We don't like corbyn"

She's also disabled and waking up with panic attacks at 5am to write letters to the dwp begging they don't take her money away. Most of her family is disabled. She has a court appeal next week.

It's weird.

Save a couple thousand quid in taxes

I really don't get all the landlord hate for Labour though

I mean, as much as we all like the jam man, it's not like Corbyn's going to expropriate all houses (unfortunately), owning a house will probably still be a safe "investment", it's just that renters will probably get a couple more protections, there might be some kind of rent cap, but I doubt it'll be anything too earth-shattering.

The only reason you'd be afraid is if you were a complete slumlord that exploited the gently caress out of your tenants... oh...

Re fake Corbyn on twitter - how do you get a blue tick if you're a fake?

They had the blue tick from before, then changed their account name

IMO if you have a blue tick, a name change should go through a manual validation process

Yes but the latin name for Cambridge was Cantabrigia, not Cantabria

It means "posh pit" I think, while Oxonia means "posh hellhole"

I think it's actually a back-formation from Old English because the Romans didn't actually settle there.

Yeah it's not even from the Romans, just some random latin stuff they made up to make it sound posh

I was already having a little spiral of despair and now I'm really feeling down

I hope at least Corbyn gets elected and the UK policy stops being "hate migrants" because that's not good for my mental health and also I want the UK to be a bit more like Denmark or one of those socialist-ier countries

Also Brexit Referendum v2 being done and getting either Brexit cancelled or (more likely) a Soft Brexit kinda deal would be great

I'll actually be happy to pay the extra couple thousand quid in tax that'll be coming my way, no doubts about that
