SpiritOfLenin posted:So the news were completely accurate. I knew deep in my heart the news had to be accurate, but I just had to check. It was reported just so dryly that I just thought "that can't be right, that sounds like its a bit", but no, of course its true. Basically everything our government does is so dumb or corrupt it sounds like a bit. I can't remember where I saw a thing comparing the UK today to the final days of the soviet union but I don't think it was too far off.

Lol Brendan Lewis was asked if the government plans break international law, and instead of weaselling out of it he just said yes it does but it's fine.

The world is in a very good place when countries just admit international law is meaningless. Definitely a good stance for a weak country with no actual power to take.

Yeah I knew someone who commuted from Manchester to London most days, which seemed insane until I realised his commute (as he was in walking distance of the station at both ends) lasted about as long as another friend who commuted from just outside of Wigan to Manchester.

His Divine Shadow posted:Sounded to me from that tweet that the CCP will be forcing people out of their homes and into cities where they can be used up in factories. It's all got very british industrial revolution undertones, reminds me of the british land reform when they took all the common land from the farmers and they then got ground to dust in hellish conditions in factories in cities. I think that's a fairly accurate assessment. "Natural" migration from rural areas to the cities has dried up which has reduced the excess workforce and means that China has lost the advantage of relative labour cost in manufacturing. There is some sense that moving Uyghurs into concentration camps has been as much about creating a new source of cheap labour as it has been about ethnic cleansing, but it's still a relatively small population so now they are having to do something similar to rural Han Chinese.

I thought the first stage int he breakup of the UK would be Scottish independence or Irish re-unification. Kentish independence was not on my list. Also my geography of the south-east is pretty sketchy but does that mean they are going to have to put a border & customs post on the M25?

Weirdly everyone I lived with at uni was okay at cooking from what I remember. From our first week in halls we made a rule that once a week one person would cook for the whole flat and we ended up staying together in digs. Even did a roast for Christmas and everything. Only guy not included was the bloke from Accrington who lived off horrifying kebabs and disappeared after the Christmas holidays. I did have a flatmate after uni who would eat frozen sweetcorn as a snack.

I know, I was out leafletting in it. Yeah i basically destroyed a pair of shoes because they got so waterlogged on election day. I think all parties were worried about a winter election hitting turnout and were getting people to vote by mail.

This morning I had radio 3 on in the car, and I was amazed how the BBC news bulletin was so pro Tory and also pro trump. 4 headlines: - a top government scientist says that local leader's disputes with government efforts to put them into tier 3 are putting lives at risk (he hasn't said this, but the BBC is clearly making it sound like he supports the govt and it's Andy Burnham who is to blame if more people die) - Northern Ireland is going into a circuit breaker lockdown, but "critics say" due to a lack of financial support this is likely to happen the economy. Wales is expected to follow NI in days (focus on unnamed critics saying circuit breakers won't work) - Joe Biden has challenged Trump's handling of the coronavirus in a town hall. Trump in his own event said that his team had done an amazing job. (Nothing to point out that trump is clearly wrong or to mention how unhinged he was. Just face value repeating his claim in a calm measured tone) - Republicans have complained after Twitter blocked stories about Hunter Bidens hacked emails. Twitter has apologised (so I guess according to the BBC the republicans were in the right? Nothing to confirm that yes the emails were legally hacked so Twitter was right to block their distribution) Honestly gently caress the beeb. I don't expect in depth analysis on a 5 minute news bulletin but they could at least make the bias less transparent.
