a pipe smoking dog posted:So I'm right in thinking that the reason that labour did so poorly in Scotland is because the most important split is nationalist V unionist, and whereas the Tories are firmly unionist, labour didn't really make there position clear so as to avoid upsetting anyone? They did poorly because Scotland has a lot of farmland and thats traditionally massively right wing. The general election made use of the momentum from the referendum but the underlying tory always comes back. Labour did poorly because there is no left in Scotland anymore.

blowfish posted:I don't even understand how academisation is supposed to produce any benefits (besides being On the surface its a great idea for schools in areas with a huge education population and budgetary issues. These are schools that have very little money and as such the education quality for the children suffers for it. The idea is you take poorly performing schools with no money and bring in outside investment to give them all the advantages top schools have. This then frees up that schools budget for the LEA to disperse among the left over schools. Everyone benefits. Unfortunately what this ends up being is a funnel for money straight to the pockets of the directors at best, sex segregated religious schools at worst and then the LEA have to pick up the pieces when it goes tits up.

Don't Lol me posted:Doesn't really help much as there is no context of how many seats were held before. If you're implying that local elections were some kind of yardstick to measure performance for the next general, perhaps look at how things went for Michael Foot and Ed Milliband. I'm gonna pull this up since its the epitome of whats doing my nut in about this thread at the moment. There seems to be some sort of disease that means genuine criticism of Corbyn has to be ignored with any amount of hoop jumping possible. Here you have irrefutable proof that the man has done worse in their first set of council elections than anyone else in recent memory, and the response? 'Well it doesn't count.' In fact I see that sort of response a lot. Heads stuck in sand and everything else blamed. Council elections have been, and always will be a yardstick for political parties. To try and hand wave that away because its now looking bad for dear leader is just silly. Miliband and Foot had tremendous amounts of good will gained with the public when they were first elected. That they failed to convert that into becoming Prime Minister has a lot of reasons but they at least had a solid base to try and start from. The current Tory government are experiencing one of the great political meltdowns and this has actually worked out better for them. There needs to be a serious, honest look at why Corbyn is where he is and what he needs, and indeed if he can, change. Don't Lol me posted:Yes, you totally got me there - I mean, look at how well Hague and IDS did, romping victories for all leaders who gain a few hundred seats. You even doubled down on it in the time it took me to write that post. Ask yourself this, if the people you named did not become Prime Minister after they gained a few hundred seats, what does that say about someone who didn't gain any? serious gaylord fucked around with this message at 08:27 on May 9, 2016 |

If anyone thought it was a bit weird that Cameron made a comment about Laura Kuenssberg getting sexist abuse at PMQ's it seems to have stemmed from this petition on 38 degrees that had well over 35,000 signatures asking for her to be sacked. This whipped up a bit of a storm from her mates at other papers and all of a sudden its been removed for 'appalling sexist comments by its signatories' without them putting said comments up as evidence. Its now starting to get the same 'The left (Corbyn) is sexist' treatment that the anti-semitism thing did. Look forward to this blowing up the next time the tories need to hide something terrible. Someone at 38 degrees however leaked all of the signatures and no-ones found anything close to 'appalling' which makes it even weirder.

It appeared to be 38 Degrees own back-up cache on the Amazon server and the link was sent to us we suspect by someone within the organisation. Not being stupid, we had made several back-up copies in different places and I will have the link working again as soon as technically possible. (Translated without bullshit – once my people wake up). Phoon posted:here's some more detail, think it may have a link to the comments - he says he already combed through them for a previous article and found one comment he considered sexist - the 38 degrees people then said it was all on twitter which is weird The entire thing is absurd. They've just given legitimacy to anyone who wants something removed to just troll the poo poo out of it. The phone conversation he had with Babb who refused to say they had more than two things that were 'evidence' is also really odd. Then like you said the narrative switched to 'people were using this to make sexist comments on twitter'.
