For him to be right, there would have to be a signficant group in the labour party who think starmer being elected or not is an entirely secondary concern to purging the party of socialists.

Which, uh, seems to include starmer, at this point.

What the hell is the "large immobile gamete" thing from? I keep hearing it and I have no idea what it means unless you are a big egg and parliament lost the majority of its high profile eggs in the corbyn years.

The "biological sex is simple I studied it at GCSE" lot googled the definitions of male and female and found out that one of the ones used for reproduction is that males have small mobile gametes and females have large immobile gametes.

This works for things like explaining why male seahorses can get pregnant or how pine trees can have both dongers and lady parts, but is pretty much worse than useless for explaining any human interaction outside of the one immediate case where you want a babby form, not even any of the recreational stuff preceding that.

So of course they latched onto it like gospel truth and want large immobile gamete toilets.

I would wager that I can throw an egg a lot further than I can throw sperm.

Which could be a problem because the UK hasn't had any heavy industry in the past several decades so the pathers normally aren't a problem.

I’ve never understood why people on the right of the party are in the party at all and not in the LDs or Tories. Why be in a party which doesn’t share your values?

Because people vote for parties, not individuals, 90% of the time. So it doesn't matter what damage you do to the party, you can exploit it to get a cushy job and a nice pension and you can use your top down influence to make the party enact your agenda regardless of whether it is organically supported.

I mean yeah you can do that with the addendum "because I am the biggest political brain so I know what is best for everyone and I'm actually helping them because the stupid lefty rabble couldn't win an election or run a country if they did" which I guess is less comically evil than the rubbing your hands together "haha I shall exploit the labour of campaigners to get rich" option, but has an identical outcome.

It seems like a rather large stretch of a reading, personally. Unless, as suggested, the clinic is deliberately trying to make it look like it isn't seeing any patients which would be bizzare.

E: ^ yeah, I don't at all see why you would assume that weird link as I don't think there is anything in the text that supports it?

The whole thing seems predicated on the idea that they couldn't possibly only have seen two people so there must be some other explanation, which uh, why?

They weren't asked that.



They have to answer the exact question except when they don't?

Also I think that parsing that question as "only people who have been both accepted and assessed since that time" is inherently subjective, it could just as well be read as "how people people have been accepted and how many people have been processed?" so arguing that they have to interpret it that way is silly.

I know at least one person who owes a dentist a significant 4 figure sum because they upsold like this while also being very quiet as to the cost of it (or that it wasn't covered by the NHS at all) until the bill came through.

And when that came to light, the dentist's reaction was essentially a diplomatic version of "We both know you can't afford to go after me for malpractice either".

Yeah like they don't come out and say "you look like poo poo" but it's subtle stuff like "you know we offer a whitening service that a lot of people say makes them feel better about themselves" like it's literally textbook PUA poo poo where they insult you without technically doing it. Seems real bad honestly for people who are susceptible to that.
