Just to point out that there are a bunch of local elections coming in May, though obviously other issues have meant people aren't talking about them as much.

Very happy to splash her all over when she's being denied her citizenship, not so keen on their readers knowing the consequences. Scumbags. No-one gives a poo poo if the person isn't white. See also: decades of young ethnic minority teenagers dying due to knife crime and no-one bats an eyelid, but when a photogenic young white woman dies, it's time to act.

Flashback to when the press spent a full five minutes acting like it cared about anyone remotely connected to the Middle-East in 2015 due to the death of Alan Kurdi followed by an immediate resumption of hateful rhetoric. The British press already used up their entire stores of empathy 4 years ago.

Hobo posted:I’m happy to be corrected on this, but I think the problem with Jess Philips is that her constant positioning of her being working class is based on the British cultural definition of class - what food you eat, what TV shows you watch, how you cut your toast - rather than an economic one. That’s not unusual, but this is combined with constant self promotion, and it ends being looking like promoting a future leadership that’s based on whatever the “working class” equivalent of HIRE MORE WOMEN GUARDS is. https://twitter.com/multi_joe/status/1104377394104807424

When her dad apologised, like seriously wtf is he apologising for, he just wants his daughter home, even if she has to go to prison. Not sure why I'm so affected by it, the fact I have a young kid maybe, but gently caress em, screw any home secretary who puts politics above the lives of children. In any sane time Javid would have gone for this and it would have been completely justified. Edit: I hope he still does go. I hope this ends any chance of him ever being PM. If you won't help some of the most vulnerable children on earth you can get in the sea. Zalakwe fucked around with this message at 03:03 on Mar 10, 2019 |

People don't realise that if the British government is willing to let innocent children die in a refugee camp in Syria, they're also going to let your innocent child die when they get separated from you at an airport in turkey, or when your cousin goes on holiday to Thailand and gets the death penalty for taking a packet of paracetamol into the country. Rights that the government selective enforces aren't worth anything.

Sorry to interrupt actual serious discussion, but how would teenage William Hague and other middle aged politicians even have been reading Hansard under the covers back in the pre-smartphone, pre-kindle, pre-laptop days? Can you get a daily subscription to a print version of Hansard? Was he just reading the digest in The Times? The whole story doesn't add up imo.

It was (and might still be) published and printed in a daily edition. Back when I was at university, I stumbled across a collection of Hansards from the late 1940s in the depth of our library's book stacks while researching old exam papers.

If we get a no-deal Brexit, which seems likely to me, nobody's going to remember or care about any of this anti-semitism, Corbynism on the retreat stuff. People will be much too busy trying to secure the basics of existence while blaming the Tories for the mess we're in. God only knows what'll happen after that but right now, we're still in this weird 'phoney war' phase of Brexit, with the Westminister bubble concentrating on the usual trivial bullshit while the country hurtles towards a cliff edge. (I think no-deal Brexit is likely 'cos it's the default option if nothing else can be agreed on and it's very clear that there's no Parliamentary majority for anything else.)

Never ceases to amaze that people liking Corbyn for his bold policies is a 'personality cult' but its brilliant for large sections of the media and Tory parry to spunk all over Jess Phillips attitude/language/accent/clothes. Basically everything about her personality rather than what she stands for. Also interesting that she's written a piece about Begum's child dying. Anyone remember if she spoke out against the decision to revoke her citizenship beforehand, or is this just more windsocking?

Mays plan as leaked by the cabinet was expecting this vote to lose by less than 100 votes so that she'd ask for an extension and have 2 more votes hopefully cutting that number down further leading to it scraping through as no deal becomes impossible to ignore due to not taking part in European elections

Okay, so applying the most accurate predictor of UK politics - "What is the stupidest possible outcome?" - I'm going to predict that the May Deal fails, No Deal is ruled out, but then the delay gets defeated.
