Anyway, I tweeted it. But I mean, has twitter auto-mod ever read twitter? I don't even notice that message anymore because it flags up any mildly negative post so it's useless, but when it first rolled out I actually did decide not to post a couple of things.

I just skimmed the wiki on it. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miami_Showband_killings Roy Jenkins is unquestionable the best Home Secretary of the 20th & 21st centuries, & probably of all time. He oversaw the end of flogging in prisons, the legalisation of abortion & decriminalisation of homosexuality, & introduced a bill to criminalise racial discrimination. Of course he also introduced Commonwealth Immigrants Act which was a dogshit xenophobic law, but considering the other people who have been Home Secretary? He actually made things better for people, almost unheard of as Home Secretary

We moved to the countryside: nobody told me that this would mean we'd no longer get the benefits of city living.Tijuana Bibliophile posted:I recall they did a prison interview with this disgraced former swedish red cross chief who'd been caught stealing millions from his charity, and he argued that he'd been acting because of poverty--relative poverty that is, not poverty in any other sense, he didn't--and shouldn't--argue he was hard off. After paying green fees, boarding school for two kids, having dinner invitations with the upscale high brow society and so on, his decent-but-not-obscene salary didn't cut it, and that was the actual reason he'd started "supplementing" it. He did really seem to be regretful and content with serving time for his crimes Well, maybe don't send your kids to boarding school & drop the golf club rather than stealing from a charity. I don't know though, I'm poor & miserable so I'm probably just jealous. Politics of envy etc etc.

Gonzo McFee posted:Lol at the millionaire centrist pundits getting turned into the leftwing pariahs of the day and displaying better solidarity than the Socialist Campaign Group. The wealthy have always been great at class solidarity. To go back to the bevvy chat, I definitely drank far too much in my 20s because I had really bad (but at the time undiagnosed) social anxiety & it was the only way to really cope with hanging out with friends in a more than 2 or maybe 3 on 1 situation. Definitely more of a binge drinker than a frequent drinker but after a particularly embarrassing incident during an election night (I don't remember which one, Brexit referendum maybe? I don't think it was as recent as the 2019 election) that featured me blocking the sink and shower with vomit and also falling over into the shower & breaking the door I've cut right back because I just can't face waking up to that again, I haven't touched vodka since, I might have a bottle of overpriced & overly sweet pear cider on every 2nd Friday, & I've got 2 bottles of whisky that I got at Christmas that I haven't even touched yet. And the thing I value about whisky as my spirit of choice is even when I did binge drink quite heavily I'd never actually have more than 2 drams in a night. Where as cheaper spirits are much more moreish. forkboy84 fucked around with this message at 20:51 on Mar 10, 2023 |

There's communists, liberals, Tories, probably even some fash and everything in between. There's definitely a chunk of the green movement that is dogshit, and that faction seems fairly prominent in the E&W Green, there's watermelons (red on the inside), mangoes (yellow on the inside) & Tories in wellies. And if their nuclear policies are such a sticking point for you then join up. It's a far more democratic party than any of the major ones so you can have your say on that. Though goons horn for fission never ceases to boggle the mind, even if I can see the point of view more than before I signed up here. It's like the SNP really, a broad church united by independence, with Tartan Tories and Socialists and melts.
