I don't think a formal C&S deal will be done in the event of a hung parliament and Labour would probably be allowed to run as a minority on a case by case basis - which does kind of suck with the FTPA but I doubt the other minority parties will be much of a mood to repeal it to allow Labour the chance to call an election a la Wilson to escape minority status.

The Tories will immediately call for a new election and keep making demented chicken memes at him for the entirety of the parliament.

Did anything interesting or weird happen last night not including the Queen death hoax? Could it have been used as a diversion? Just seems really weird such a tremendous rumour had SO much attention with no one outright denying it.

Maybe this?

But more seriously it's just perfect viral content - plenty of meme potential and everyone loves a good rumour about Brenda.

Buckingham Palace loathe to comment on things like this because if they do it for every little rumour then it opens the floodgates to commenting on other things.

"No, Liz isn't dead, pay no attention to the viral dick pic WhatsApp" is hardly the kind of press release they want to dignify the rumour with.

Wait a tic

How does something go viral "on WhatsApp"? I thought it was like an encrypted group messaging app. There's no feed or anything, right? How does something propagate through the network? Lots of taking photos of chats and sending them to other chats?

Yeah basically you share an image of a news headline and your crazy aunt forwards it to her crazy friends who spread it to their crazy friends. Similarly in India's last election a major problem is group chats with like 250 people in them spreading fake news that then get shared with other 250 person groups. Almost all of that fake news was Islamaphobic and just generally racist shite used to boost the BJP's popularity amongst gobshites.

Just one to be aware of if you are involved in transport for people on Election day.

This slightly mistakes it though - Lukasz wielded a pole, not the tusk, and was stabbed five times in a one-minute solo fight with the attacker, but still managed to chase him through the building until the maintenance guy, having just been stabbed, tumbles Khan into the street.

Lukasz then runs into the street with his pole (ooer) still ready to go (two er), screaming for the public to get away from the attacker, which this guy then says "which the Great British public refuse to do nowadays" and indeed they run forward to help disarm the attacker while fire extinguisher man and narwhal tusk wielder run out and continue poking the and dousing the fucker until other members of the public join in.

It was only at this point, when others had tackled the guy and gotten the knives out of his hand, that Lukasz allows himself to succumb to the stab wounds and bows out of the fight.

And for the record as seen in the thumbnail, Lukasz was cleaning glasses down in the basement but when he heard the screams from the initial victims he dropped what he was doing and ran to the scene two floors up, apparently he is a first aider and went to provide aid before he ended up becoming a loving combat hero.

That's his overall point but unless I am misreading it he agrees with the study that those statements are antisemitic, which I do not.

I believe his point is it's not unreasonable to suspect someone agreeing with that statement to have some anti-Semitism in their attitude, while also noting that because it says 'supporters' it's ambiguous.
