Its "we need to look tough on Putin and tough on immigration" but they don't want to look callous on the second half of that. So instead of explicitly coming down against welcoming Ukrainian refugees, they fall back on the phrase "we need a simplified process" when dealing with applications, which as far as I can tell means "we need a better website". Its also well within the liberal framework. They'll quite happily demand an escalation of violence against Russia but they sure as gently caress don't want a Ukrainian moving in next door.

Trin Tragula posted:Eddie Dempsey did sign on to the spectacularly badly judged Stop the War letter, the content of which does not appear to have been misrepresented. You've convinced me; the RMT strikes are Neo-Soviet plot. Do you reckon Putin is behind the Coventry bin strike as well? That's the sort of thing that crafty man would do. Anyone that's done intelligence work in the UK knows how angry Brits get when their bins aren't collected.

Richard Seymour wrote a book called The Liberal Defence of Murder which covers the way the liberals and parts of the left embraced interventions as anti-imperialist adventures. Would it shock any of you that the rhetoric and arguments that the liberals in that book deploy are entirely identical the ones you see today. edit; also, Johann Hari? lmao, what a name to remember. Even at the time he was widely seen as a bullshitter, it was pretty funny when he was properly found out. Thought he was going to be a great figure in journalism but was the pound shop Stephen Glass.

No more though Because of this thread I bought the Cookies and Cream ones today and they're so good I always almost tempted to let my dog have one to share the love (I gave her some cheese instead, she didn't complain).

If things stayed the same at the next election I just wouldn't have voted but if Boris kills Chelsea FC I might have a reason to vote Tory for once in my life. Obviously I won't but at least the Tories in that one specific case are offering me an opportunity to relish in some spite at an entity I hate. Labour offers nothing.

The Worst Person in The World is an immensely good movie but even the lead actress pointed out that its title would lead to comedy. She pictured ex-boyfriends seeing her face on the poster and that title and feeling a sense of satisfaction.

Had this garlic sauce in Romania which had a horse-raddishy spice to it. You'd feel its in your nostrils and every time you took another sip if your drink. It was loving quality.

I'd be willing to bet that the angriest replies to Diane Abbott's post are people that have had a lot to say about her appearance in the past.

Its the hypocrisy that gets me. So its perfectly acceptable for a Labour MP to have a wank in the comfort of their own home, but a Conservative MP isn't allowed to tempt a danger wank in the commons? Its political correctness gone mad. What happened to this country?

Any successes that Labour had from 2015-2019 were entirely down to Long Blair. The public just can't get enough of him. He won three elections in a row, not sure if you heard about it.

Racism in the UK existed from September 2015 until April 2020. All the rest is banter or pragmatism.
