WhatEvil posted:humidifying your home to keep the internal levels at 40-50% is actually good generally for respiratory health and also for combating dust mites. If you overhumidify then you can have issues I can't get my humidity that low, but I am glad to learn that this is bad for dust mites. Are they beaten more decisively at higher humidities, or is it all the same after 50%?

sebzilla posted:Nuke Akehurst seems to think the membership is still over 500k, albeit with a *lot* of churn (roughly 20%) Our CLP membership has shrunk by about 10%*. We're still entitled to as many conference delegates as we were last year, and since that's calculated by membership numbers our experience probably isn't wildly unusual. Our trajectory is still gently downwards. * E: this year, I should have said. Much more since 2017. Oh dear me fucked around with this message at 14:57 on Feb 18, 2021 |

Spangly A posted:I'd never be friends with anyone who can't get some kind of enjoyment from CSI miami tbh I have only seen one episode, which was about sunglasses man lusting for the death penalty and pretty sidekick posing with a gun. I got the impression CSI Miami was made by fash who were owning the libs, ie probably CSI New York. I don't think I like any CSI, though; Scandi noir is where it's at.

Lungboy posted:Is Wallander Scandi Noir? I think the Swedish version officially counts, but it's more episodic and (I think) less gripping than The killing and The bridge, which are the classics. I wouldn't count the English version, but it's not bad either.

Catzilla posted:I have never seen the footpath network this busy. Country parks and footpaths being busy is surely not a sign people are ignoring the guidelines, but that they're following them to some extent? Because they're among the few places people are allowed to go, in most places. I'm sure people do break the rules when there, but outdoors is far safer than indoors.

Darth Walrus posted:Kinnock and Blair destroyed its functionality, destroyed the tools necessary to rebuild its functionality, and essentially turned it into a machine for petty middle-management bigots to be paid to bully people. I left after Kinnock and Blair removed power from party members, but then rejoined when OMOV for the leadership gave members a single route to power. The trouble is that it takes a left leader a few years to get control of other party bodies, so a leader who resigns after four years is effectively useless. I'm staying while the potential for Labour to elect a left leader is still there, but we really need a younger and more determined candidate.

forkboy84 posted:Giving money to the Labour Party is an explicitly immoral and damaging act at this point. Oh gently caress off. The amount of money I give the party won't buy a single shiny poster but does buy me a vote in leadership and candidate elections which are currently the only available way of fighting the melts. We've had this argument a dozen times so there is no use having it again, but that also means not making lovely snipes at each other like yours above.

Doctor_Fruitbat posted:How do you square this with the Liverpool mayoral fiasco, where Labour are one step removed from just outright saying that leftists don't get to be candidates? Genuine question. By remembering I don't live in Liverpool. The left has a narrow lead in my constituency and I'm staying while I can help keep it, and so keep our best candidacies and conference votes from going to melts. When we've lost our ability to do that I'll leave, no problem. I just don't believe in handing victory to the right on a plate.

forkboy84 posted:Out of interest, who did you vote for in the 2020 leadership election? RLB of course. Noxville posted:Have you learned nothing from the last five years? The left will never ‘win the argument’ with the Labour right because they will not be ALLOWED to. We won in 2015 and 2017 and if Corbyn hadn't resigned before democratizing the party we might have done more. If Starmer has a heart attack tomorrow we could win again. When they've changed the rules so we can't, I'll leave. But I will not help them by giving up before the battle is actually over.

forkboy84 posted:Who should run for the Labour left? And assuming they win, what then? How do you purge the machinery to remove wreckers? And how do you counter the instant Stalinism comparisons despite it being transparently horseshit? How do you resolve the antisemitism bollocks? Or if not resolve it, at least deal with it? Anyone with a proven left track record who Corbyn is willing to endorse. It takes a while for leadership patronage to allow us to wrest control of the NEC. When you have done that, you can start rewriting rules. The problem we had under Corbyn was general elections every two years, which had two tragic results: 1) it meant he resigned after four years, whereas Kinnock got to be leader for 9; and 2) they were too worried about appearing bad electorally to do the necessary party democratization. We're unlikely to win the next election and doing so should absolutely not be our priority: becoming a party worth electing should be. So we don't need to counter Stalinist comparisons etc. If we ever get the chance we should concentrate on destroying the power of the Labour right by any means possible.

Ms Adequate posted:And even if it were both our job and pragmatically possible, we'd be better off doing it to the Tories anyway seeing as they're the ones who have power. But you wouldn't. Labour contains a lot of comrades, and its members can elect a leader disliked by most of the PLP. Neither of those apply to the Tories.

goddamnedtwisto posted:there are about a quarter of a million long-term unoccupied dwellings in the UK which is a big number but a lot more of them are in places like Bolton where there is literally no demand than are in Kensington being used as a money-laundering vehicle. True, but in other places where there is demand there are also second or holiday homes, which just spread unoccupiedness around the houses.

Jakabite posted:Sorry that you don't know about parmos, Club Bongo, lemon tops or the doggers on the South Gare I guess. It's this sort of thing that repulses people from the left. I think that's even less believable than the usual 'people hate the left because...' stories. People who dislike me and my politics usually talk about my accent, my education, my sexuality, or my benefits. No one gives a drat whether I like pasties.
