Guavanaut posted:i think there was a spoiled vote where a swastika was counted as a cross because it was neatly in the fash party box. I don't know if it was spoiled, but as an enumerator I can tell you that a swastika placed in the box for UKIP/BNP/Reform style parties does count as intent to vote. And if you don't place a cross somewhere else to spoil it, it will count as a valid vote. Re: what have the Yorkshire Party done that is racist - every Small Local Area Party is without exception a gently caress Everyone Else, Especially Foreigns party.

forkboy84 posted:Almost certainly. They've also got in the habit of putting in benches at railway stations but every seat has a divider between them, because what if a homeless person took a nap? They also don't seem to be very kind to obese people from what I've noticed. These have been in place at London Heathrow for years now, in an attempt to make anyone who is stuck overnight stay at one of the on site hotels.

feedmegin posted:My dad used to work in the civil service (Inland Revenue inspector) in the 80s. I remember when I was a kid he went from using a Dictaphone and sending it down to the typing pool to having to type his own poo poo. We got the Dictaphone to play with once that happened, so that was nice, and a manual typewriter that for all I know was office surplus. Why was he using a Dictaphone? He had ten perfectly serviceable fingers, didn't he?

Bobby Deluxe posted:Jesus, I can only assume the last guy was executed in the hope there'd be no witnesses, that's loving grim. The IDF have admitted enough of what happened for killing the witness to be a waste of time. And if they'd only shot the first two, flag of truce or not, it could have been passed off as a tragic "heat of the moment" event even with a surviving witness. No, it's a lot simpler: the Israelis have decided that everyone in Gaza is to be treated as an enemy combatant. The death of any hostage killed by the IDF can and will be blamed on Hamas for taking them hostage in the first place. As such there is no longer any interest in freeing the hostages, as their deaths are politically expedient in the promotion of the genocide.

Scientastic posted:Bollocks, I don't believe this for a second. The original makes much more sense and is much pithier, that sounds like a post hoc addition to sound smarter than it actually is And you're correct to doubt. The "blood of the covenant" reinterpretation is less than thirty years old, and it is the precise opposite of the original intent which was that bonds of family were stronger than those of faith - the water is the water of baptism.

The Record are clickbaiting with their headline, but they've pointed out that the NI cut is being implemented from January. They reckon this strongly implies a May General Election, as normally a rate cut would begin with the new financial year.

Guavanaut posted:Has anyone told her that spending £12 on curries might be why she can't afford a house? I took a brief gander and Gill is one of the slightly less poo poo ones. She's been very consistent at least in complaining about how sole home ownership is out of reach for her generation and wrote an article on the new trend of taking out joint mortgages with a friend saying that while it may have potential problems it's better than giving the money to landlords. It is of course all leavened with a healthy portion of "a sinister trend for students not to want to flat share with Tory Leave voters", as if not wanting to share a roof with a racist fascist moron is a bad thing, but she's close to actual self-awareness. - Charlotte Gill writes for the Telegraph, the Guardian and the Daily Mail.

forkboy84 posted:You might not like the joke about Katie Price & her kid, but Boyle is quite thoughtful in explaining his justification for saying it. I'd really love to hear this thoughtful justification for attacking a disabled child. And by "really love to hear" I mean I want Frankie Boyle to choke to death on his own blood and then never hear a single word about him ever again.

Bobby Deluxe posted:Nobody on TV is ever going to top Necrothatcher's TV appearance. I would hope that you don't agree with him, because "it's not about the victim, it's about the person using them as a shield" is literally the justification the IDF use for bombing hospitals in Gaza. It's perfectly OK to think that Osman is a prick if he is a prick, of course, but that doesn't make Boyle any better for not rising to it. Reasonable Hitler is a meme for a reason.

thebardyspoon posted:So to be fair to Jedit, they weren't saying that that joke is like or as bad as bombing a hospital, they were saying that defending it by saying it's attacking Jordan with her son as the punchline enabling it and that's fine because she uses her son as a shield (which is Frankie Boyles defense of it apparently, I want to make it clear I don't think it is fine). Jedit's saying that is a similar logic to the one the IDF use in their rhetoric. IE "it's fine to attack someone even if there's collateral damage because they're just that bad". I'm not sure I see the logic in bringing it up however, there's better comparisons to make probably. Thank you bardy, that is what I was aiming at. oval office though he may be, Boyle's "joke" was of course nothing like as bad as what the IDF are doing and I didn't mean to imply that it was. He's also said that Israel is an apartheid state and is committing genocide, which is points in his favour. He's still a oval office, though.

You won't need to worry about that last. Tony Husband passed away in October, ironically of a heart attack suffered while on his way to another Eye staffer's retirement party. I don't see the Eye outlasting Hislop, to be honest. They're all old now, and there's no new blood coming through.

Lady Demelza posted:There's an American Candy shop in my nearest town, and it's surrounded by two or three empty shops in each direction. You can't even pretend it's a legit business, because nobody is going to trek down that street to get some overpriced sugar. Most of the stock in those "American Candy" shops is expired and not meant to be sold. The money laundering is done by opening a second business and buying all the stock from the first business at a premium before closing it down. Rinse and repeat, so to speak.

(Except because Badenoch is black, of course.) Honestly, if I had commissioned a poll that came back saying more Tory voters wanted Badenoch than Sunak I'd be asking for my money back. These are the people who voted for a woman who defines "balanced politics" by drooling from both corners of her mouth rather than have an Indian in charge.

Doctor_Fruitbat posted:I watched the first few episodes of Babylon 5 and they were indeed extremely poo poo. I'm told it gets better though. Your standards are absurdly high. B5 season 1 was rocky in places, but the three opening episodes are all fine. You get a great "hit the ground running" opener in Midnight on the Firing Line, then W Morgan Sheppard being creepy as gently caress in Soul Hunter, then Born to the Purple is a solid character piece.
