    Afghanistan: Mission Accomplished

    You chose to read my post through a lens that was applied uncharitably and without justification. Whether COBRA meetings are or aren't effective isn't the point. The public can reasonably conclude that they are called for good reason. I simply don't believe the government cares about Afghani...

    Hong Kong: what next?

    Please forgive me. I know I'm selfish. But I'm lonely (other than Bella,) and hungry for some human interaction. I've barely left home in five years (apart from twice, earlier this year, for my two BionTech jags (aye ... jags! Get in there!) - and have not posted on any medium for too long; too...

    Talking of Maximilien Robespiere. I was reading about Macron.

    ...Darwinism. This quote from link. Reporting on the election has often been characterised by muddled political terminology. The Political Compass has long pointed out that left and right essentially describe economics. Macron, for example, is regularly reported as being economically...

    Establishment networking, sleaze and corruption. A handy compendium.

    Official: Prince Philip is Dead, 9th April 2021

    Urban’s aggregate political compass might have shifted a lot from its very early days, but it hasn’t shifted that much to expect any other response to the death of such character as Phil the Greek. We’d be fucked otherwise :D

    What DVD / Video did you watch last night? (pt3)

    Please Turn Over - 1959 British comedy, with a young woman writing a risqué novel "revealing life in suburbia", only some of the characters in the novel are mistaken for members of her family, hi-kinks ensue. It's actually not a bad 90 minutes, little too long in parts and it's hardly a...

    What are you listening to right now? v2.0

    I have written s formal restrained email to the zine repository, apologizing for any distress caused to their staff who wouldn't confirm or deny if they were who i thought they were, cancelled my sixty quid still undespatched order, and formally retracted my surrealist artist statement CV...

    US election 2020 thread

    Pasted from elsewhere, this is an eloquent personal story that I keep reading versions of all over the place. The cracks in America have had wedges driven into them :(

    Jeremy Corbyn's time is up

    Mad shit from Compass But this is where anti-toryism leads

    Netflix recommendations

    It explores the psychology of these characters against the backdrop of major historical events and you'd like to see the opposite. I don't see how an "interesting historical event of the week" series with the characters in the background would be compelling as human drama, apart from that they...

    Footballer Marcus Rashford fights for free school meals

    What is this shit? Children will be allowed to go hungry to the point it becomes politically unsustainable - amongst their own MPs, the media and ultimately the electorate, and the mob. Equally the Arts sector will be allowed to collapse to the point it becomes politically unsustainable or the...

    New Zealand election 2020

    I think he literally has no political compass whatsoever, and is just purely driven by opportunism and ambition, so no wonder the Torygraph identify with him.

    Political polling

    Another interesting graphic showing (with the usual caveats about the limitations of such axes) the Ipsos Mori 'political compass' style positioning of Lab & Tory members, voters & representatives. Source.

    How do you rate on the 8 Values Political Test?

    It's silly really. I mean what does "reason is more important than maintaining our culture" even mean? It's obviously trying to put you on the tradition/progress axis - presumably progress means telling morris dancers to cease their unreasonable nonsense and instead go and listen to Any...

    How do you rate on the 8 Values Political Test?

    Yes, I bailed after about five or six, too many shitty assumptions about taxation and the nation state. You don't need a tax policy if no-one has private property or personal income.

    How do you rate on the 8 Values Political Test?

    The questions make those asked on Political Compass look deep. (Libertarian communist)

    Boris Johnson tests positive for Covid-19

    Doesn't seem that unreasonable to me - it's an opinion, and an understandable one from his perspective. A world in which union leaders were doing the same kind of sanitised PR that political parties thrive on would be the poorer for it.
