if you live in a constituency with an SCG member or a would-be SCG Labour candidate, and you don't vote for them, you can go gently caress yourself.

Less than half of the SCG are any good. They don't even defend their own.

George Monbiot still generally a good egg. Can't ever, ever imagine any of the other Guardian melts doing this.


I dunno, rubbishing people who had problems with XR's 'lets' all get arrested' idea due to the disproportional affect it would have on non white middle class participants, then leaving (even as a white middle class man) the protests as soon as arrests started happening was a bit lovely.

George's articles and videos on climate change are very good. His political judgement is piss-poor and people pointing that doesn't mean their in a horrible cult.

I don't want to give him too much credit for backing away from a twitter argument, because ultimately he's still a lib who wants to gate-keep the left, he's just realised saying that gets him heat.

Gove is a worryingly good civil service manager, and surprisingly good boss, fortunately his third rate Machiavellian bullshit has so far kept him out of real power. Because he’s fash.

Is that not based on his time in environment/justice, where he had no real interest and just listened to the civil servants? Where as he when he went into education it was a nightmare because he had 'opinions'?

I can see why people would be wary of compulsory medical procedures. With Tuskegee & Ice hysterectomies the US and Depo-Provera in Israel, you probably don't want to normalise the principle.

EDIT: To be clear I got my two doses and I'm getting my booster this week.

I wanted Jon Robbins to be terrible, because a lot of his Friday afternoon radio-show is about people admitting to shameful things or having questions where Robbins plays the part of a know-it-all (which isn't really an act). But he was decent

I wanted him to to do badly because his radio shows quality is inversely related to how well his life is going.

EDIT: While discussing OXBRIDGE comedians I fell off of Richard Herring when he started inviting labour right wingers on his comedy podcast, but I gave a recent episode ago and his Stuart lee bashing asides seem much less light-hearted, did something happen recently?

I reckon and bear with me on this, that Prince Andrew might be an entitled posho who thought he was much smarter than he is.
