LOL the interviewer is the worst part of this. That dwp lady is obviously just doing evil, that's her job, but the other woman is trying to launder evil and hilariously failing. E it is weird how the UK historically just likes to starve people as punishment. Its definitely one of our quirks

Jedit posted:The Tories have realised that they no longer even have to half-arse it. They're literally just handing out millions to their mates under the guise of procurement with no expectations that anything will be done. Yeah it's become completely out in the open and the media helps them because the media has massive normalcy bias. The last thing they will ever do is point out the country has become a corrupt tinpot oligarchy because that would make them courtiers of it. They want to be the free press of an advanced democracy, so a lot of it is them lying to themselves.

All these MPs are Waaaaay too normal. I think cause fusing together different MPs is a fools game when most British posh people at this point you can only recreate by fusing the same people together for several generations.

Is there a single systemic or government fuckup that these people will not blame on individuals It's also kinda burying the fact that we're 6 months in and don't have a testing scheme that works. His insane scenario of "test all the kids at school" should be normal

You just can't continue to inject people with it till you know the answers to those questions, which is why vaccine trials take time. Name/Post combo

Ive found the SNP have been exposed as much more competent communicaters but essentially a pretend government. Most of the job of modern Liberal government is producing content for media and they are a lot better at that. But every step of the roni road has had nicola announcing bojos own policies either shortly before or afterwards as if they were part of her own, better articulated plan. Given the NHS is one of the few things the SNP supposedly demand control over, the Scottish government's lack of agency is worrying. If the nationalists were serious about running the country they would be using this disaster as proof Scotland desperately needs devolution as a matter of emergency and they'd have been doing it since April. As is I am getting the creeping feeling they are happy with the current arrangement where they get the job, attention (theyr on scottish TV a lot) and pension without the responsibility or workload. Which is absolutely how scotlab seems to have been regarding delegating power to English Labour, is why I thought of it. It imo explains also why after indie ref failed they didn't start gunning for devo max and just went right to another ref. This state of affairs seems to suit them fine.

i think it was paul mason whose book my blairy dad got me ages ago, Post-Capitalism i think. the gist of the book seemed to be, "Socialism is obsessed with these ideas from long dead europeans... but they should be obsessed with the ideas from this other long dead european who had the right idea!" over some russian guy with his own ideas about capitalism he's basically just been downhill from there in my estimation
