Fangz posted:Do Not Let The Tories Win. Yeah I think tactical voting is a big no for this election. They are going to loving salt the earth if they get in again. Spooky Hyena posted:Or is the public just that misinformed on the amount spent on welfare? The average British person knows nothing about the economy. All they have is the news and papers. And have you watched/read them lately? Even the loving "i" didn't question the tax cuts and gave it a positive placement on their front page. I kinda liked that paper to.

Paul.Power posted:Come to think of it, given that whoever wins the next election is going to have a horrible job on their hands, maybe both sides are trying to throw it. People said Labour did this last election. I'm not so sure. The more they stay out of power the worse it's going to be when they return. Unless they never plan to get elected again.

gorki posted:Did any of you expect the Tories to be so breathtakingly evil in government? Have the last 4 years come as a surprise to any of you? Honest questions here They seemed pretty tame for a while but they've really ramped up in this last year. In the end they've become exactly what I thought they were. Also: "- Ban sexual harassment claims unless the alleged offence is illegal and has been reported to the police (34)". That particular one fills me with such creeping dread. I think it's because it's so obviously self serving. The only reason you'd support such a lovely thing is if you or someone you know regularly partakes in such behaviour. And they're so brazen about it. Then again this is the party that is brazen about scrapping human rights. Regarde Aduck fucked around with this message at 09:07 on Oct 5, 2014 |

I like how the plate was obviously on purpose but they can't admit to it ever because he's on his last warning. Well supposedly. Whether the BBC really would get rid of him is another question. Also by like I mean "vaguely disgusted".

I really don't like the narrative that she was somehow unique and rare. That it isn't a common belief that the McCanns killed Maddie. Because it is. I'm not saying it's true or false but it isn't a rare belief in the least. It's not so much bad press as wholesale reality adjustment.

Spooky Hyena posted:Fortunately, I'm talking about things that actually happened rather than what you remember, so it's irrelevant. The legendary voice of sincerity that gave the Scottish independence thread such integrity. This is the guy that when told that "Actually Scottish people practically ran the Empire and weren't so much complicit with the empire as the engineers of it" said "Ah right, I buggered that one up a bit!" and bought everyone a pint. Take this poster on at your own risk. The risk is getting a double barreled dose of KNOWLEDGE and TRUTH. edit: Hi Doug.

CountButtula posted:I've got something less controversial we can talk about : rape on the Left. Does anyone else think the Left makes an ideal stalking-ground for predators? Lots of women sharing a mission with a potential partner, organising that often demands some secrecy, and in commie and anarchist circles women who ideologically won't go to the police. Surely rapists are disproportionately attracted to the Left, at least in the UK? I think the dedicated political rapist is a rare beast and more common rapists don't think too hard about tactics.

goddamnedtwisto posted:I think you (and many in this thread) are mistaking "What I want to see" with "popular". While this is all true are they not just securing their existence? If massive policy shifts really would scare of the donors what should Labour do? Take the hit? Could they function? The problem is parties need money and most people with money are bastards. Either they got money by being bastards or money turned them into right feckers. Either way it's bastard feckers everywhere.

He thinks Operation Protective Edge was actually pretty loving cool. Can someone tell these people to just join the tories? The amount of Tory types that join labour like they misread a sign somewhere is really distressing.

The closeness of the general election is probably a factor. That and maybe the media have finally picked up on the Tories nastiness acceleration over the past weeks. That may be giving them too much credit.

But we still have to go through the political circus of "he simply mispoke". No, he let the veil slip for a moment and gave us a glimpse into the heart of Tory. "No mask? No mask!"

HorseLord posted:*black person opens mouth* Yeah there was no context to my post at all. You got me you witless twit. Or maybe we were talking about a situation where the awful American health system failed because of its lovely corporate nature that cares nothing for the poor and those without health insurance i.e those who are worthless to capitalism. Durr it was because he is black, the American health system is fine, shame they're so racist or it would be perfect. Have a gendered insult you twat. You really do have problem with nuance and context in here don't you? Some of you show the capacity for critical thinking of the worst of GBS.

Baytor posted:I'd love to move to the bizarre parallel universe that right-wingers live in, where socialists and trade unions run everything and the middle classes are a downtrodden minority. I think it's more that their standard of basic humanity is much lower. For a right winger the base line is poor people dying in the street. Because poor people dying in the street is currently considered taboo we must be living in a socialist paradise.

Really? That's what your going with? Remember when you posted more than once a week and it wasn't to have a slap fight with a meany who doesn't like the SNP? You asked why people are bitter about the vote despite the result and your only response is to belittle their concerns? What is it with you nationalists and your inability to understand that people can care about Britain as Britain the same way as your nationalism makes you care about Scotland? Part of the country was nearly removed by nationalists and we didn't like that. We still don't like that. We don't like Scottish Nationalists either. You don't like us or you wouldn't be Scottish nationalists. But don't insist that only one side is allowed to have an opinion or even just show emotions. Oh and the vote is now a piece of British history. I don't see why you think anyone is going to shut up about it soon or for the next decade.

If you want to beat the landlords remember to vote for some pointless party that won't win in the General election so we keep the Tories in power. Devolution is coming and it certainly won't be done in the worst possible way that fucks everyone over. Hail Satin! So smooth, so silky.
