Rigged Death Trap posted:So the psychoactive substances bill has been approved and is waiting for Royal Assent, and the act will come into effect one April the 1st. Politicians continue to value their own opinion above field experts, and the liberty to practice homeopathy is more important than the liberty to get high. The bill is racist and hilariously pointless. Absolutely none of the commonly used legal high networks will be impacted, as they all operate out of Spain and ship from Brum. Adults stamping their feet that people do things they don't (but do really) part whatever

Even before the bill has become law they're already talking about a review of popper to legalise them again by July. It's a total farce. This level of shambles that would be embarrassing for student union politics.

Currently cataloguing some select committee reports on sweatshops from 1890. It's blaming jews, poles and "roumanians" for flooding over here and steaing all the jobs. It also observes that the sweatshops are frequently set up in inhabited slum houses that are crammed full of underpaid "sweaters" (this we all already remember from Marx) but a new touch of horror is added when some physicians report that they have seen cases beyond count of persons (usual children or other dependents) sick with infectious diseases like smallpox or scarlet fever lying sick in these work rooms full of workers, and being covered with unfinished garments waiting to be worked up, that are then sent straight to the wholesalers and sold to the pubic. "Mr Arnold White observes that the broadest definition he can give to the term sweating is the process of grinding the faces of the poor."

They should be restricted to Matthew 6 only in my view. The Bible posted:And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by others. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward in full. But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you. And when you pray, do not keep on babbling like pagans, for they think they will be heard because of their many words. Do not be like them, for your Father knows what you need before you ask him.

This is one of the oldest and most effective tricks in politics. Every hack in the business has used it in times of trouble, and it has even been elevated to the level of political mythology in a story about one of Lyndon Johnson’s early campaigns in Texas. The race was close and Johnson was getting worried. Finally he told his campaign manager to start a massive rumor campaign about his opponent’s life-long habit of enjoying carnal knowledge of his own barnyard sows. “Christ, we can’t get a way calling him a pig-fucker,” the campaign manager protested. “Nobody’s going to believe a thing like that.” “I know,” Johnson replied. “But let’s make the sonofabitch deny it.” Only this one does gently caress pigs, so they had to find something else for him to deny.

OwlFancier posted:Except he literally did call them that. Lab rats are different though? If you just say rats unqualified the implication is sewer rats or ship rats. Lab rats have as much to do with these as the phrase "rat race" does, which is very little. It was a massive overreaction. e/ like if he'd used the word countrymen in an address and Khan accused him of calling people cunts. Guavanaut makes a good point though, the validity of the complaint is immaterial. Renaissance Robot fucked around with this message at 18:33 on Jan 27, 2016 |

It's good to see David Cameron taking a principled stand on not quoting people out of context and I'm looking forward to him not doing that anymore when it comes to Corbyn. Hang on, let's just check that speech to show Khan that Cameron would never misrepresent someone. quote:Never mind the fact he (Mr Corbyn) wants to give the Falklands back to Argentina or he thinks that nuclear submarines should patrol the Atlantic without any missiles.

I think I'd object more to being compared with a lab rat than just a rat in general, especially by the nominal leader of the country. Given the treatment and fate of many lab rats, I don't really like the implications.

My favourite thing today about politics was Cameron's speech accusing Sadiq Khan of being some kind of Corbyn mouthpiece... whilst Zac Goldsmith looks on quietly in the background, saying nothing. The irony is hilarious. Of course, no major press organ noticed.
