superLINUS posted:So not to piss on anyone’s parade but here’s the view from a semi-rural, massively-Tory constituency: I don't think it's any surprise that there are gonna be a lot of (mostly rural) constituencies which are never gonna be anything but blue. I actually know your area well (used to live in Buckingham and MK) and it doesn't surprise me at all that where you are is absolute Tory-town. In most of the villages out there I'd be surprised to find a 2-bed for less than £250k. Still, maybe at some point in the future when all the boomers die off these places will start turning red.

Bit late but when I got in my car this morning the first thing I heard on (Canadian) radio was “In London, *dong, dong* mourners have gathered to pay respect to... those who lost their lives in a terror attack...”. Immediately thought “Holy poo poo!” Then “oh, yeah”.

Necrothatcher posted:I genuinely think the right are going to be kicking themselves next week for devoting so much time on the anti-Semitism smears. I've spoken to hundreds of voters this campaign and it's come up maybe ten times. I used to work in an office with 3 "ordinary blokes" who weren't fans of Corbyn particularly but we had a conversation that was basically the following: Boss: "What's all this antisemitism thing?" Me: *briefly explains that it's mostly because Corbyn doesn't like what Israel is doing to Palestinians and why he's right" Boss: "Ah right, that makes sense. I just don't get why you would have anything against Jews anyway, I'm not sure I've ever known any" And the other guys in the office basically agreed that they didn't really believe he was antisemitic (though they just didn't like him anyway) and I think that even if he were proven antisemitic, the reaction from those guys would have just been a shrug. Which sucks, because obviously people should care about racism, but obviously anybody who *actually* cares about racism isn't going to be voting for the Tories anyway. I really do not think it's landing like they hope it is.

Yeah other polls ask a number of people stuff including how likely they are to vote, and then apply "weightings" to adjust the numbers based on how likely they actually are to vote based on some combination of their responses, their age, etc. etc. Exit polling you don't need to do that, you just need to ask enough people, and you know they've actually voted. Can still get it wrong mind.

jabby posted:If I remember right he got his wife to do it, who is also a medic. And yes being ridiculously over-confident in your botched together treatment is a general trait of medics. Yeah this is exactly it. I saw "Matt Hancock has gone to Leeds to deal with the problem" but the problem isn't just one nurse or doctor or even one ward at one hospital, it's systemic, it's everywhere. Very much like the Tories to treat the symptom and not the disease. winegums posted:The mask in front of the kid is a non-rebreather mask, usually used for delivering high-flow O2. The tweet is correct that if he needed to wear one he'd be very sick and probably have a bed in resus or even ITU. Did you just copy and paste Jabby's twitter post?  E: Or maybe you also posted this on twitter and I saw it there. I don't know, I've confused myself, sure I saw this exact wording somewhere else just now.

Don't wanna get people's hopes up or nuffink, but I have to say, I'm seeing a lot of this stuff on twitter: https://twitter.com/Ollie4TheMany/status/1204864342019264512?s=20 Stuff like "The two massive Tories I know are sharing Labour stuff on facebook" etc. - quite a bit over the last week or so. Obviously it's gonna be amplified by people sharing etc. but even so.

jimmydalad posted:I think Corbyn’s negative image is not doing Labour any justice. I think some people vote against him on principle. My family is going to be very insufferable and gently caress this country. I thought America had it bad with Trump but Bojo is probably 10x worse. You bet he’s gonna gloat about it in the next Parliament meeting. Corbyn's "negative image" is completely manufactured by the UK press though.

My previously "best" mate said on our whatsapp chat this morning that to say Corbyn isn't the problem and that it's a media crusade is "trumpian" and that Labour "should've picked David Milliband". Told him that I hope he enjoys fascism, 'cause it won't be long now. Of course, he will, cause he's a comfortable small-business owner with a comfortable small-business owner dad, who evidently doesn't give enough of a poo poo about anyone else and probably thinks that people in poverty should "simply start their own business". He's a Lib Dem supporter, of course. I'm just glad Swinson lost her seat.

Nah I'm pretty sure Monbiot has been pretty solid on a lot of stuff in the last few years including Corbyn, and anticapitalism. Tarnop posted:So he didn't call the left of the Labour party ‘a malign intellectual subculture’ of ‘apologists and genocide deniers’ ? I think maybe he did in 2011 if that's what you're referring to. Would he have been wrong with Labour as it was then? WhatEvil fucked around with this message at 01:43 on Dec 14, 2019 |

Just told my friendship group back in the UK to gently caress off, basically. Bunch of comfortable liberals who're treating all this as a game. One of them called me "trumpian" when I said that media bias against Corbyn/Labour was a major issue - has he loving seen a) The media, and b) Boris Johnson? They were all loving screaming about how Corbyn has to come out for a 2nd ref NOW NOW NOW for months, and now they're sharing Jonathan Pie videos where he says that "ignoring leave voters and calling them all stupid isn't gonna make them vote for Corbyn!". Like, gently caress. gently caress those guys. Does mean I don't really have any friends left in the UK now but at this point I don't care.

Jaeluni Asjil posted:Don't forget things like men's toiletries - shaving gear, disposable razors, deodorants that don't smell of flowers (people seem to remember women's ones more than mens), bog roll, and other non-food items. They do tend to get a lot of cereals. Yeah I've posted this before but doesn't hurt to do it again: Check with your local food bank. Most have websites these days. Mine had one which told you what they need and importantly what they currently have too much of. Interestingly mine always had too many tins of beans, pasta, cereal and ladies sanitary products. Some food banks will also put leaflets by the donation bins which give you a guide of what kind of things they need. Commonly on the list for my local one was: Tinned fruit and veg. Tinned tomatoes. Tinned meat. Tinned custard/rice pudding. Pasta sauce. Long life milk/fruit juice. Spreads (peanut butter, jam etc.)
