Anecdotally, I'm in an LTN and the main effect I've noticed is that none of the assholes who drive around in really loud cars advertising their tiny dicks get to go down the road where the local councillor lives. My hairdresser has told me footfall to her business has cratered since the scheme went through, and a local sports shop that had been there for 80 years upped sticks and moved to the Jewellery Quarter. And also one of the main roads feeding into the high street is even more jammed up with traffic at busy hours than it used to be, and all the residents along there have signs in their windows saying NO TO LTN, WE DESERVE CLEAN AIR TOO. And it's not related, but while I'm griping about traffic management, another local street has jams three times daily, because nobody parking there bothers to get their loving wheels on the pavement, so it's effectively a one lane road with traffic trying to go both ways. Doesn't affect me much though, I was already walking and taking buses.

I need something to present that has all of it written down in one place. I've been talking to someone who's too young to really remember it, trying to impress upon them just how insane that period was and how completely the British establishment turned to crush him, and my own memory isn't good enough to properly describe it without just sounding hyperbolic.

The problem is that those are all very good deep dives into just one aspect of the thing and I'm trying to get across just how total a campaign it was. crispix posted:lot to ask of me this time of a saturday night mate :/ I thought I remembered there being some google doc that had it all written down, if you don't have one handy there's no need to act put upon

That's a good source which covers a lot, even if it only goes as far as 2016, and I'll send it on to the person I'm talking to. But I feel like the author is missing a trick by choosing to step away from the ridiculous stories - the ridiculousness of so many of those stories is part of the point I'm trying to make. I need something that includes both serious stuff like the EHRC smear report, and unhinged bullshit like Rafael Behr blaming Corbyn for his heart attack. There's also a bit more editorialising than I'd like.

Doctor_Fruitbat posted:If you can remember individual things like that then just search for them, the Rafael Behr article should be pretty easy to find. And don't forget "wearing a tie shows that he craves power" and "let's analyse how deeply he bowed at the cenotaph". That's the thing, I can't remember them all

Dead Goon posted:There's a ton of books about the rise of Corbyn and "the radical left" and that sort of thing on Verso, if you want to buy some books and read them. I don't mean to be rude but that's not a helpful thing to say. If I ask someone for help, it's because I think they can provide more specific advice to at least point me in the right direction. "Library's that way pal" isn't it.

Britain is a country full of people who want the NHS sold off, and Israel is full of people who rock up with deck chairs and popcorn to watch the bombing. The common thread here is that propaganda works, and it works even better when every adult has been made to be part of the same organisation as those snipers who murdered inconvenient journalists.

Reminder that the American right wing is stuffed to the gills with evangelical death cultists, who want Israel to exterminate the Palestinians and take control of all of their land because they believe that this is a prerequisite for the end of the world, which they see as both imminent and a good thing

Yeah Iran has issued statements saying "We're doing this in retaliation for the consulate strike, and afterwards we consider the matter settled. Try some poo poo again and we will retaliate again." They're trying to walk the line between escalating and signalling that Israel can do whatever they like to them no consequences.
