the fact that the Tories and media will rip into Corbyn for saying that war with Iran is actually bad is not a good reason for him not to say that

Katt posted:No but he shouldn't be spearheading the whole effort. He should take a step back and let Labour and other Labour figures be the main driving force. he's the leader of the opposition, seems like a pretty reasonable choice to be spearheading the opposition response to me e: funny how the people who wanted Corbyn to "show leadership" in the runup to the election are also now criticising him for doing so

Alchenar posted:Literally anything Corbyn might say can be responded to by Johnson with "I think the British people have made their view clear who they want to be making these decisions on their behalf". The election result is a complete get-out-of-jail free card and that's why defeated leaders traditionally step aside quickly. why should we give the tiniest poo poo what Boris might say as of right now Corbyn is still the party leader, he's 100% right to make a statement on the situation

The Question IRL posted:At the risk of sounding disrespectful towards the victims, to me they are the bigger part of this story than Sinaga's use of drugs. It's basically a toxic masculinity thing - you might worry about getting into a fight in the pub car park, but how to avoid situations like the victims of this oval office is just not something you ever have to learn, because men are big and strong and only women have to worry about getting taken advantage of. If there's a positive to take from this it might be that men become a little bit more aware of the world around them and realise that maybe you should make sure your mate's got home OK instead of just waving him off into the night - which might even encourage a bit more empathy with and support of female victims of rape.

Lee Child is my go-to escapist fiction. Also I really like Mick Herron but his stuff is about present-day spies (and has a loving fantastic faux-Boris Johnson character in the background of the first few books) so is a bit less escapist, but very loving funny at times.
