Junior G-man posted:Not the way I hoped Labour would die, but sure why not: It's funny because at the time, the joke was that no-one knew who this anonymous apparatchik was whose exit spelled certain doom for the whole endeavour. Now we all know and it's somehow even stupider. e: 2 is the correct number of sausages in a full english.

There's no way of looking at giving Corbyn the boot in October that isn't an unimaginably catatrophic unforced error.

Unite aren't actively doing anything, it's just a natural outcome of having successfully defended their members. They'll be funding Labour's defence in the same way as ever, via the big sum they pay to fund Labour as a whole.

Jedit posted:The answer to Cohen's very pertinent question is "not having the full support of the journalist set and thus their scandals being made relevant". Yes - imagine being a journalist and perceiving the attention and ridicule of journalists to be some kind of eldritch ghost we've lost the ability to summon.

goddamnedtwisto posted:Connections is honestly my favourite documentary series of all time, and is right up there for me in terms of the greatest show ever made - it's what I always turn to when I'm feeling a bit low, basically comfort food for the brain. It's a direct reply to the two big prestige documentaries David Attenbrough commissioned to show off colour television when he was controller of BBC2 (he also televised snooker because it was cheap and relied on colour) - Civilisation and The Ascent of Man, which were grandiose histories of art and science respectively. Both are excellent documentaries in their own right (although the former in particular suffers from a massively eurocentric view of the world which is a bit clanging to modern ears). Thread favourite Ways of Seeing was also made as a rebuke to Civilisation. That series must really have pissed some people off.

MikeCrotch posted:I think Charles understands that without the goodwill of Brenda the monarchy needs to be less expensive and less of a scandal magnet, which is why he wants to make the whole thing more boring and professional. Charles definitely also thinks that the country needs the strong guiding hand of an interventionist monarch, though.

Rumda posted:It's really bizarre how leftists who normally decry racism and nationalism will suddenly get all blood and soil to dunk on the monarchy It's not really "blood and soil" because it's not like anything would be better if the royal family were of an exclusively British gene pool. The important part is noting that the monarchy's connection to the "nation" is a fiction, that they had (and have) more interests in common with the rest of the European ruling class even when they were sending people to their deaths "for King and country".

Beaker people or bust, naturally. The idea is ridiculous but presumably if you were a fascist making a blood and soil argument against your all-too-German monarchs then you'd have some wild pseudoscience for that in hand. josh04 fucked around with this message at 13:48 on Mar 10, 2021 |

Bobstar posted:Sounds more like Maugrim's landlord has that bizarre emotional attachment that small-scale landlords seem to develop, where they get very upset at the idea of you doing anything to "their" property, don't like you thinking of it as "your home" because it's not yours, it's theirs. Yes, a classic landlord convo from when I was a student, over a bit of collapsed masonry: "Why on earth would we kick our own front doorstep in?" "It's not your front doorstep, it's MY front doorstep!"

Are we allowed to mention actual forum user Lord Andrew Adonis, the real Lord Adonis, who was banned for demanding a fight in a Tesco car park, presumably over HS2?

CoolCab posted:the jordan lake sessions from the mountain goats is, legit, one of my all time favourite live albums. i didn't pay for the "show" because, i dunno that seems kind of depressing, christ, but i definitely enjoyed the poo poo out of it after i bought it from bandcamp. Good news, they're recording two more.

I didn't vote for Starmer but I'm fully prepared to compromise on policy, within reason, to back a Blair-aping pragmatist who could really stick the knife in. But no, it's the same shower of PR-huffing shits who spent the last five years sabotaging anything they got their fingers in, lead by a guy who makes Joe Boden look spirited and proactive. There is no amount of support from the left, however unconditional, that will make Labour 'electable' in this state.
