fuctifino posted:All of the articles state "If he resigns" and "He may announce his resignation", which makes me question if he's actually resigning or considering resigning, or if he's being pushed out? I think Johnson will resign if it looks like a leadership contest is in the offing, but not if one is actually triggered. It's an ego thing - he'll step down "undefeated" rather than risk being humiliated by a challenge, but if he's forced into a contest then the humiliation would come from running away. This is probably why the Tories are being cagey about sending in their letters; they know that he'll probably win if challenged, certainly if it reaches the membership vote, so they don't want to back the rat into a corner.

I wish I could find it again because really it should be the response to every loving thing that gets said and done in politics for the last 20 years. Ask in the political cartoons thread, you'll have a copy of it faster than you can say "NFT".

Apraxin posted:https://twitter.com/UKIP/status/1487502292202962950 I'm very interested to see the breakdown of the spoilt ballots, when it's delivered. It's unusual to even have 50 spoilt ballots; for there to be almost 1,100 of them - enough for them to retain their deposit and more than any losing candidate - is extremely unusual.

a pipe smoking dog posted:Well it was a very unusual by-election. there was no one running to the left of the Tories given the circumstances. I guess at least a 1100 people who would normally vote lab lib or green wanted to show they were engaged politically but didn't like any of the choices. Put it this way: there are reports that two people wrote messages demanding that Boris resign. If it's all Lib Dems using their franchise to send a message, why report on the two? And if it's more than two, why say it was only two? Normally spoilt ballots break down into six categories: no official stamp, no mark, more than one mark, voter's intent cannot be deciphered, voter can be identified, and message sent to a candidate. I want to know how many of the 1100 fell into the last category.

Red Oktober posted:
The Telegraph indeed loves homeowners, and the more homes you own the more it loves you. Selling homes to people who intend to live in them increases the shortage of homes that can be rented out. The fewer homes that landlords have to rent out, the more they must charge in rent to maintain their standard of living. That's what they mean: that selling homes is bad for the landlord class because it reduces their asset wealth and stranglehold over the market.

HopperUK posted:Yep! The scene was actually somewhat different and even more satirical. Kinney was still shot because ED-209 didn't hear the gun drop, but as originally written it didn't hear the gun drop because the carpet in the boardroom was so thick and luxurious that it muffled the noise. When it came to filming it didn't work properly, so the scene was reframed as it being a malfunction. It still works of course, but it no longer carries the undertone of the robot working perfectly but arresting rich people being outside its operational parameters.

Failed Imagineer posted:All true. The one thin silver lining I guess is for olds who are downsizing, since the delta between [Big House Price]-[Granny Flat Price] will be bigger and leave them with a larger disposable income The problem being that most of them aren't downsizing. They're living in their Big House until they have to go into a home, and then their Big House is sold to a landlord to pay the care bills. The people living in the granny flats are young couples who can't afford a real house.

It's an MMF pyramid scam, and in such a scam there are only scammers and bagholders. But nobody ever gets involved in a pyramid scheme thinking that they will be the ones left holding the bag. Everyone who loses money in crypto loses it because they wanted to profit at someone else's expense. Have no sympathy for them.

Bobby Deluxe posted:The problem with useless idiots like Boris & Truss is that previously the tories would have one or two. They'd be relegated to cushy, do-nothing background jobs while the competent but evil people took the front bench. The Tories have been narrowing their gene pool since Cameron took over. Loathe Thatcher or hate her, she was a strong personality and was able to keep most of the wets on side. Cameron was not and could not keep the dries on board in the same way. The result was that nearly all the competent Thatcherites were purged - again, just because you don't like what they did doesn't mean they weren't good at it. The result was a party comprised of the worst dry headbangers that Cameron couldn't control but who didn't have the influence to do anything, and the more spineless wets who had survived Thatcher by not fighting. Cameron ceased to be party leader not when he resigned, but when he called the EU referendum and gave the dries that undue influence. And then the dries got in and purged all the wets that had shown even the least sign of ability or resistance, leaving behind only incompetents on both wings of the party.

Bobby Deluxe posted:Ages ago someone in this thread put forward the theory that Corbyn drove centrists mad because they love to think of themselves as the nice guys, so as soon as someone came along offering to be nicer and genuinely improve things they were clamouring to tear him down so they could reclaim the high ground. I've advanced a similar theory as the explanation of why liberals side with fascists over socialists a few times. It's not about thinking of themselves as nice guys though. It's just that they don't want to help anyone. With fascists they can tut and present themselves as the sensible option, but if someone ever successfully managed to improve things then the voters might realise that there is no reason to vote for a liberal who won't even try. In a nutshell: "better things aren't possible" isn't just the centrist mantra, it's the fundamental plank of their existence.

If you assume that anything you see for sale in a CeX has been sold to them for drug money, you would not be wrong.
