Archaeology Hat posted:Which is mystifying as lovely tory dads can just vote tory. And do, and will. If you thought that they wanted to lose one more election so they could go full on with saying Corbyn had "tainted the Labour brand" and so all lefties had to be expelled... I wouldn't say you were being paranoid.

More like the 80s. The wets have been purged or brought to heel, Maastricht is just a piece of paper, and there's more snow inside the front bench's houses than outside.

Jaeluni Asjil posted:It's interesting how "they" always use the sharp, pointy word 'axis' to refer to whichever forces "we" are aligned against and the cuddly, friendly word 'coalition' for whichever loose alliance "we" are currently aligned in. It's quite interesting to reword propaganda exchanging 'coalition' for 'axis'. They're just trying to remind people of World War II. But in that war it was the Axis themselves who coined the name; Mussolini (possibly cribbing from the premier of Hungary) declared that Rome and Berlin would form the new axis of power around which Europe would turn.

sinky posted:Yes, right-wing extremists make up almost a fifth of terrorists in jail but did you know that the left wing is getting a bit antisocial??? I've got no problem with the right wing and the left wing both being investigated as long as the conclusions are honestly reported. Then nobody can say it was a partisan project. (Yes, I am aware that the conclusions will be reported as "there are a few bad apples on the right, yes, but the toxic legacy of Jeremy Corbyn continues to taint the fascist left".)

Convex posted:Amusingly my first lesson in "don't trust the police" was at primary school when a policeman came in, in uniform, to give us a talk. The head introduced him, then he said he'd bought sweets in for everyone, so we all rushed in to grab some. He then stopped us and said that we shouldn't take sweets from someone we didn't know. This is all reminding me of the famous Bash quote about the cop passing three joints around the classroom to show students what they looked like, saying "and I'd better get all of them back", and getting four joints back.

thespaceinvader posted:This is kind of a complicated question, given that trans is a label that some enbies choose to use and some don't, but arguably... No disrespect to your personal perspective, which is more informed than mine, but I thought the point of NB was that you didn't identify as any gender? As such, then logically you would be neither cis nor trans because those things are also an aspect of the gender binary.

kingturnip posted:I think OMOV is still in place for leadership elections, so if Keith gets decommissioned before he and Evans can replace it with "Corporate donors get as many votes as they want, members get a little Union Flag to wave", there's always a chance of getting a left-wing MP back into the leadership. If after what happened to Corbyn a left wing Labour leader is not willing to go full Stalin on the Labour right, they're not worth putting in the position to begin with. The right have proven now that they're not people who differ in their opinion on how Labour should be managed; they're just Tories who didn't go to the right school.

OwlFancier posted:lol @ "expected range" No, they just don't give a gently caress about health and safety or the value of human life (if it's poor, anyway). You don't want to risk death on a building site? Nobody's forcing you to take their money, and there's thousands of unemployed Qataris who will. The reality is that Qatar should never even have been considered as a World Cup host, and the only reason they got it - over the UK, as I recall - is because when Sepp Blatter asked them for a massive bribe they paid it and we said no.
