Paxman posted:Jezza is today (Thursday) announcing 10 pledges to “rebuild and transform” Britain including a plan for £500 billion of investment, according to the Huffington Post. Probably helps that now he has a shadow cabinet that will actually do their jobs for him.

El Grillo posted:Smith was pretty bad. Not directly answering the nationalisation question for example, even though he's given some good answers at Q&As even only yesterday. Not sure why he didn't level criticisms at Jeremy's use of by-elections and local elections as evidence of growing support/'victories', that poo poo is ridiculous to hear from JC himself. Also not why Smith didn't directly criticise the (widely recognised) lack of an effective media strategy etc. Hint: it's because he's rubbish, even at the PR thing that is supposed to be his principal advantage over Corbyn.

30.5 Days posted:Naw man haven't you heard, Chakrabarti is only up for a peerage because she covered up labour anti-Semitism in that report. Ugh I thought you were exaggerating but jeez https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2016/aug/04/shami-chakrabarti-peerage-labour-tensions-corbyn If there's one person Labour could justify putting in the upper house it'd be her. At least the stupidest voices are coming from without the Labour party: quote:The Board of Deputies of British Jews, the leading group representing the Jewish community, also criticised the decision, as it was not happy with the antisemitism report. Marie van der Zyl, its vice-president, said: “It is beyond disappointing that Shami Chakrabarti has been offered, and accepted, a peerage from Labour following her so-called ‘independent’ inquiry.

Jose posted:i really shouldn't be shocked but i can't believe how upset people are getting about chakrabarti getting a peerage. who gives a poo poo jfc The BBC article on it makes me legit angry, they quote from three Jewish sources and they all follow the same circular logic of 'the report therefore she is only being rewarded for whitewashing therefore the report has no credibility and is bad' and I don't actually believe that Jews are actually such a monolithic block of stupid. She's an accomplished human rights lawyer who's dedicated her career to advancing the causes of the unfortunate and the oppressed no matter how unpopular it's made her in certain quarters and has never compromised her principles, I honestly couldn't name someone better to serve in an unelected upper chamber. gently caress all the disingenuous point-scoring arseholes.

CoolCab posted:it's an interesting question that's sort of at the heart of this whole contest: is party loyalty in the abstract a virtue? is it virtuous to have stuck by the party while it did unethical things? perhaps more accurately while it did things contrary to your stated ideals? is it better to be loyal to your party or loyal to your ideas? It's like football, once you've picked a team you can't switch or you never were a real fan.

TomViolence posted:Smith's left wing platform is entirely bullshit and is at best an attempt to poach votes off Corbyn. I was being charitable perhaps in thinking that folks advocating his position were trolling, because you'd have to be thick to earnestly argue that he's doing anything else. His strategy is to be like the other side but more moderate. Surely a winning strategy, just like it was in the last election.

This is really bad Kermode because he starts from the position that Bay is an idiot and can't see what's right in front of his face as a result.

A competent leader would have had all his enemies murdered on taking office. Reflects badly on Corbyn that he didn't.

Mr Dog posted:That entire conversation is the most goddamn stupid poo poo. What if there's another car behind with not enough time to react? What if it's too close to brake for and you're in a concrete underpass? If a pedestrian is standing by the side of the road is there a chance they will walk out? Do you excise caution and if so how much? What if you've made eye contact so you know they're aware of your car? What if they're walking along the pavement playing Pokemon? If they're stood still with their back to the road? You know all of this instinctually but a computer has to be told explicitly. Self-driving cars are an idiot's fantasy, the binary algorithm necessary to cover every base is impossibly complex and only approximate a human decision process - no surprise that all existing autonomous cars are overly safe to the point of causing accidents by behaving more cautiously than any human would. For every 'what if' you can think of there are a dozen that you can't. And there's no way will I ever get one when I know they're programmed by people like me and my peers.

It's the Karl Roge thing of attacking somebody else on grounds that you're weak on - one thing Corbyn has over virtually any other candidate or opponent is his perceived authenticity so better try and pretend he's no different than any other politician on that. Don't know everyone was so ready to swallow it.

Alchenar posted:So the thing is that if Corbyn's media team just went and said 'yes it was a photo op to demonstrate the problem of overcrowding and make a point, it just so happened we were able to get a seat afterwards' then there'd be a bit of grumbling from the right wing press but ultimately everyone would agree that trains are overcrowded and it was a fair point. Instead they've been throwing out a series of ridiculous excuses one after the other. And by that you mean the actual excuse of there actually were no seats.

serious gaylord posted:It's interesting that you will question a photos/videos veracity if it disagrees with your opinion but anything that supports your stance is accepted without issue.
