LemonDrizzle posted:I think the way to deal with this is to just attack Osborne's perceived competence by making him out to be penny-wise but pound-foolish. "He cuts a £200m flood defence project in Leeds and next year the town suffers £whatever in flood damage, he cuts social care budgets by £x and then hospitals costs increase by £n*x." Don't go on about how the cuts are harmful, talk about how they're stupid and actually making the country's financial position worse. You could easily tie that into "he's missed every target he's set himself, he's borrowed more money than every Labour government put together" etc. etc. I think that messaging could work in 1997 - when the impact of intra-Tory mudslinging was at an all-time high - but it would be hard to reconcile today with an attempt to rally with the NHS junior doctor's strike or, for that matter, any attempt to corral MPs into shutting up about how austerity is harmful or how whole-system reform is necessary. In particular the MP for Islington North. Leeds-floods-wise, well... quote:Jeremy Corbyn: In 2011, a £190 million flood defence project on the River Aire in Leeds was cancelled by the Government on cost grounds. One thousand homes and businesses in Leeds were flooded in recent weeks, and the Government are still committed only to a scaled-down version of the project, worth a fraction of its total cost. This from a Prime Minister who claimed that “money was no object” when it came to flood relief. When he or his Secretary of State meets the Leeds MPs and Judith Blake, the leader of Leeds City Council, in the near future, will he guarantee that the full scheme will go ahead to protect Leeds from future flooding? I don't know. Does Corbyn have some deep-seated moral objection to the idea of narrow cost-benefit analyses (which the government of the day might, therefore, actually be able to fail), rather than hypothetical bipartisan holistic approaches that - by the nature of all nebulous, holistic solutions - concede the judgment of its success to the incumbent government? ronya fucked around with this message at 19:17 on Jan 9, 2016 |

I have to move in the next few weeks and I'm currently experiencing the joy of the British rental market. The place I saw today was utter trash - the place was dank and filthy, all the rooms bar the kitchen and bathroom had been converted into bedrooms so everyone was shut up tight in their rooms and the tenant who initially answered the door seemed haunted and wary, and the room on offer wasn't even the one shown in the advert. loving Christ.

That's what happens when you start analyzing everything through a consumerist lens. Your class is based on the things you buy. Not your social circles or the power you wield or your relationship to the means of production.

Social justice is very important but meaningless when each element is discussed in isolation by those it applies to without reference to the broader class issues they should all be incorporated into. It's liberal bullshit and it's a loving corrupting cancer endemic to ostensibly left wing groups. That said I don't really know what you mean by brocialist so whatever maybe I'm ranting for no reason

It's good that she's got a nice jacket and a good pair of wellies, those are good things to invest in especially if you live somewhere cold and wet. David Cameron doesn't seem to realise that cheap wellies will wear out quicker and leave you with wet feet, someone should warn him about false economy.

There's a certain tendency in the left (hi, SWP!) for a bunch of white dudes to take over and start shunting aside minority perspectives as a distraction from The Cause. Unironically using the term 'SJW' is a bit of a red flag (and not the good kind of red flag ), and while it may well not be what you meant, it creates the impression that you're grumpy about your party having to listen to all those uppity gays/blacks/women rather than focusing on the stuff that affects you as well.

It does have slightly worrying connotations now that I think about it.

To be fair, a distressing number of people concerned with any particular problem at all are grossly uninterested in its economic basis. if we hang all the crims then there'll not be crimes any more, etc etc. Though I imagine we're all actually agreeing that considering equality issues without considering wider economic issues is bad and discussing economic issues without considering equality issues is also bad. The latter is what I generally take "brocialist" to mean, though given it's been floating around the internet for a while it's probably in the process of mutating into something meaningless and terrible, as does pretty much any word/concept/meme the internet gets its hands on.

But the thing was that good wellies lasted for years and years. A Scot who could afford £130 had a pair of wellies that'd still be keeping her feet dry in ten years' time, while the Tory who only bought cheap wellies would have spent a £259.80 on wellies in the same time and would still have his dick in a pig when nobody was looking. This was the Captain Samuel Vimes 'Wellies' theory.

look if we just don't spend any money on anything then we'll have lots of money to buy whatever wellies we want in the future. most of you will have to go without shoes for a few years but it'll be worth it. Especially as many of you will get cripping foot injuries, and then you won't even need shoes at all. think of the savings.

Aye, when I first drank there it was just a group of old blokes in front and a few broken tables out the back now its probably the most successful pub in the city.
