Pistol_Pete posted:She wasn't tough enough and wouldn't have been able to carry the party with her. RLB as leader would have meant 4 years of interviewers bellowing accusations at her, with her apologising for stuff while looking super-nervous and uncomfortable. I'm sure her principles are decent enough but you need someone with fire in their belly to stand up and fight for them. Yeah it would have been Ed Milliband 2.0, though that’s probably still better than what we ended up with

A Lib Dem Prospective Mayoral Candidate Was Filmed Urging Voters Not To Vote For A Jewish Candidate During A Failed Election Bidquote:The Lib Dems have shortlisted a candidate who was seen launching an antisemitic campaign against her election rival during an unsuccessful effort to become an MP. Unbelievable that Jeremy Corbyn would travel back in time an infect an otherwise reasonable person standing for non-racist parties with antisemitism.

peanut- posted:Instead, one of Starmer’s six questions at PMQs this week was: “Prime minister, what is happening?” Amazingly even our easily-bamboozled PM managed to sidestep that one. Johnson still loses, but Starmer never quite manages to win. Is this the legendary ‘forensic questioning’ I’ve heard so much about?

But what a loving stupid idea, it was a right gently caress on for me to get to see my GP last month despite severe hypertension, and would have probably not been possible with every person with symptoms taking a spot in front of me.

Red Oktober posted:In exciting news, I did a thing. I've launched the co-operative brewery project. An absolutely nervewracking day of making sure all the social media is aligned and seeing what ads work for engagement and what don't, but I think this just might work. It's got quite a bit of distance to go, but if it takes off it'll be really good, and allow me to provide some great employment opportunities to groups who are going to be in a really precarious position post COVID. As a homebrewer this seems pretty rad to me. If I could spare the time and energy and lived less than 200 miles away I’d be interested, but I’ll throw in the little I can afford at the moment anyway

ThomasPaine posted:It's quite strange that despite cases spiking I'm far less concerned than I was back in March/April. I barely left the house for months, but I've started going shopping occasionally and today I even went and got a (much needed) haircut. Maybe I'll get the rona and die, but for some reason I just don't have the dread I did earlier in the year. That's a good thing, I think, but I don't really understand it. I guess you can only sustain anxiety for so long. I’m kind of the same and I’m pretty sure it’s because we’ve got a much better idea of how the virus spreads now, so it feels that as long I avoid small indoor spaces and maskless idiots I know the chances are as low as can be. Since both me and my fiancée work from home, the only time either of us spends any time in a building that’s not our house is our weekly grocery shop (done on a Friday afternoon when it’s not particularly busy.)

I watched that show when it was on and on my TV couldn’t make out any of his tattoos, just could tell that they looked like poo poo. Did not realise it was nazi poo poo. Probably won’t surprise anyone to hear that he did not work well in a team and just wanted to dictate to other people what to do. Like, I get that the reason nazis use these silly codes is so that normies have no idea did nobody stop to ask him what his tattoos meant?

Since lockdown our monthly in-person D&D session has become a weekly online session through Roll20 and tbh it’s actually better, for helping people figure out bonuses on rolls and especially for not having to find table space for a large homemade map.

RBA Starblade posted:I haven't checked in on it in a while, how's Brexit going? I've been looking at articles but can't really tell beyond "trade deals ending December". It’s really not going anywhere. Tories currently waiting on the US election - if Trump wins, we’ll go hard Brexit and sell the NHS to the US, if Biden wins we’ll go to the EU cap in hand and accept what scraps they offer us at that point since the Democrats are really not keen on us just binning off the Good Friday Agreement.

Driving out more of the left wing of the party but at the cost of leftists ever wanting to work with Labour again?

Convex posted:I think it's because closed schools mean parents can't go to work which results in damage to the economy. The govt is trying to balance minimising economic damage against an 'acceptable' number of deaths while constantly glancing back at the headlines, not entirely unlike that old dril tweet Except that as has been proved over and over, you can’t protect the economy while people are scared of contracting a potentially deadly virus. The best thing for every country would have been to just take a ‘year off’ as it were and reduce consumption (and thus required workers) to a minimum but alas, capitalism will stand for nothing but ceaseless expansion.
