stev posted:Twitter is abuzz today with this perfect London class divide microcosm. People who don't own the handful of multimillion pound penthouses (and merely rent or own 'affordable' units costing a mere £700k) in these blocks have to look out of their windows and watch the super rich splash about on a giant platform made of hubris. I hear it's unsinkable. Why am I attaching this bag full of dogshit to a drone? No reason...

Heavy Woollen Independent guy isn't standing in Batley and/or Spen apparently, which makes it probably a harder hold for Labour. Poor old Starmzy

DesperateDan posted:pretty handy cover from libel claims too I mean, "the parents killed her" is definitely the funny edgy banter explanation but it doesn't really stack up. Neither the how or the why questions are easily answered, and if you'd killed your kid why would you ntentionally create an enormous international media circus for years? They were definitely negligent idiots, but I don't think they actually killed her, or covered up an accidental death even.

Green candidate for Batley and Spen has been dropped. Going to just be a straight head to head between Labour and Tories at this rate. Other than the usual assortment of by-election weirdos.

Was having a little think about Islington North in the next General Election, whenever that might be. It seems unlikely, as it stands, that Corbyn is getting the Labour whip back. Do we think he'd stand as an independent in that case? And, would doing so result in him being kicked out of the Party as a member? You're not supposed to be able to remain in the party if you've campaigned for a non-party candidate, right? I feel like that's one of the possible reasons why he might not do it, other than being fairly old and not wanting to go through the absolute circus that it would involve either way.

NotJustANumber99 posted:I looked into that legal defence fund for Corbyn thing from a while ago. They've got 370k sitting in a go fund me account but can't start a bank account for some reason? Because banks won't let new businesses start current accounts? Bit weird. I had an update from them this morning, actually. Sounds like they're going to just transfer the money to Corbyn directly, to be used either for legal fees or donated to the War on Want if it turns out to not be needed. quote:Hello my dear friends and comrades.

Reveilled posted:13's prime and too hard to divide neatly. My god emperor pitch: 12 months of 28 days, with two intercalary days between each as mandatory public holidays, except December into January, which will have a seven day intercalary festival (leap day will go here). So 11 30-day months and one 35-day month, effectively. But with a whole pile of days that exist outside of the Mon-Sun week, including a full week in mega-December. I do like that it neatly covers the usual Christmas-New Year lull and takes away the issues of whether or not you have to go in for work in between the two. Azza Bamboo posted:I think it was the Roman Republic that made a calendar which doesn't add up to a whole year. They just said "gently caress it, we'll get nothing done in winter anyway so let's just not count days during it." Yeah, that's (part of) why our numbered months are all hosed up, and the calendar year doesn't overlap neatly with seasons and so on.

If I was going to concoct the perfect chippy tea in my town it would involve going to three separate establishments. One for high quality and generously-portioned chips, one for vegan delights (battered pickles and tofish) and one for the best curry sauce (Chinese-style)

Where is/was Joe's? e: Fortune Takeaway in Cainscross has a door at the front for fish and chips and a separate one round the side for Chinese and they seem to operate different business hours. Very confusing but the chips from the Chinese side were very crispy and nice, from memory. sebzilla fucked around with this message at 21:15 on Jun 22, 2021 |

EvilHawk posted:I've said this before but the best thing the monarchy could do is get Charles to gently caress off and pass it straight to William. William is relatively young and fairly popular, nice happy good-looking (for monarchs) family that are very photogenic, plus he's involved in football so that's always a plus. The older generation are already in thanks to the Queen hanging around for so long, it's the younguns who they need to get onboard. Having William grow old with them will indoctrinate another generation or two. The Crusader Kings move would be for Liz to push Charlie off a balcony when she thinks she's nearing the end. Either that or blow him up with an enormous pile of manure.

Yeah, I watched it in the cinema immediately after the other two back to back and it was a big step down. Definitely felt like an early draft, needed another run through and a bucket of jokes thrown at it.

Shaw was one of the best players on the pitch last night, and we're still yet to concede a goal.

Losing because of Galloway will mean everyone prints pictures of him and Corbyn hanging out 15 years ago and blames it on the hard left and horseshoes and so on. I mean they'll probably do that anyway but still. Starmer is poo poo enough to lose on his own lack of merit.
