how about some actual news I don't think was posted http://www.theguardian.com/politics/2016/jan/01/labour-could-stop-cooperating-tories-protest-party-funding-cuts

all the other parties are kicking off quite rightly at having their funding slashed while the tories spend more than ever. they're doing some truly horrible poo poo to gently caress over the other parties in general and push their stuff through and I can't believe its not really making more noise.

I'd add in Cameron's talk of Christian values and Nicky Morgan going on TV and saying children should be taught that Britain is a Christian country too. Co-opting religious imagery to stir popular support and pointedly "other" an undesirable group is an old fascist favourite.

this is particularly annoying considering what lovely christians they are

Is/was she really a dominatrix and doesn't that mean anyone who paid to see her broke the law? Danczuk had the sense to at least check she was over 16 before sending those texts as creepy as they are which is why he won't get punished other the slaughtered by the press

Things like this it's usually sniffing as an aphrodisiac. Same thing with people with used panties (like that creeplord goon who got banned for admitting blackmailing waitresses into giving him such).

That was a different creeplord goon. This one went to restaurants and basically bullied shy women staff into giving him their used panties or he'd get threaten to get them fired as he was rich and could afford a frivolous lawsuit that the restaurants couldn't afford to fight. We only found out after his wife found his 'collection' and demanded to know why he had underwear that clearly wasn't hers and hidden in some sorted case... and he wanted to ask E/N how to solve the situation.

do you have a link for this?

Interesting to see the drop in enthusiasm for Osbourne, I wonder how it'd fare with him in the public eye more often.

It's funny because I'm going to blame the Blairites for loving up any chance of Corbyn trying to get a positive message out when he was elected or even just letting him trip himself up without their help.

I think this is how a lot of people are going to remember it in future because its been clear for months now they won't shut the gently caress up and let him gently caress it up himself

To be fair, it's very probably not a hydrogen bomb, which just makes it yet another in their regular round of tests for their crappy fission weapons. The DPRK trying to make it a big story doesn't mean it's a big story.

certainly but its much more interesting imo especially if it turns out to just be a regular earthquake or something even stupider

Turns out trying to point out he's a "Muslim" in the "Radical" Labour party did not go unnoticed as the bullshit it was.

Be interested to see what he does about London Housing if he does win since that's what he ran on, because gently caress if I know how you could possibly fix London's housing.

The funny thing is, if anything this makes it easier to smear him - instead of quietly bowing out on principle, he ends up being used as a tool to put the boot in on Corbyn and maximise the political damage. Which might have been what he was going for but I don't know how this would avoid getting called out on it

nobody knew who he was before he did this so all he's done is piss people off and look like a massive dick

I think I might put in a complaint to the guardian the most recent matthew d'ancona article is that bad. If only because they paid the oval office to write that jibberish. Apparently junior doctors shouldn't complain because the police/fire service work on weekends as if they don't

I can't believe this isn't getting called out more. Its not like hospitals close at 6 on a Friday evening and you wait outside until Monday morning.

I might be wrong but I get the feeling that almost everyone is on the doctors side if only because one of hunts big gently caress ups is letting people learn just how little junior doctors earn when most people just accepted that they were well off

Big shoutout to the government trying to spin that 38% of Junior doctors disagreed with the strike so went to work anyway, forgetting that the BMA asked all doctors who were scheduled for Intensive care, A&E and Cancer treatment to go into work as normal, and the remainder are doctors that aren't part of the BMA.
