The real reason is that she is clearly a lizard wearing Jimmy Savile's skin. Didn't even bother changing the wig

From The Guardian Lady Butler-Sloss's resignation statement "I was honoured to be invited by the Home Secretary to chair the wide-ranging inquiry about child sexual abuse and hoped I could make a useful contribution. It has become apparent over the last few days, however, that there is a...

I rather enjoyed this piece by Owen Jones in the Graniud: http://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2014/jul/14/mocking-eton-boy-death-politics-of-envy-socialist-worker-article-polar-bear-attack?CMP=twt_gu

At the Thurrock meeting, Milliband says the DWP will have to change, while Cruddas is citing the voluntary sector as a key driver of change, I suspect they are planning to cut public services and hive off more to the V/S, volunteers, families, etc, this is already happening at council level...

Have you heard of a thing called the political compass? :cool:

this is the 171st thread on the political compass on urban.

For fuck's sake - not this again! Political compass must be about the most overdone thread subject on Urban! :mad:

This is quite good fun actually - thought it would produce some very interesting results amongst forumites too! Mine is... Economic Left/Right: -3.62 Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -4.77 So I'm Left Libertarian which is roughly what I thought I was.

As pointed out further up the thread, this is a pretty common phenomenon (with traditional working-class Tory and Labour voters) and mirrors the growth of support for the Tea Party in the US. Chomsky and Owen Jones could be talking about the same party/faction with branches in different...

Political Compass lifted it from Meltzer anyway

From whichever point off the socio-political compass you look at it from:D

i lived with Tim for a year, whilst he was still Delta's party lap dog. he's never made a personal political risk in his life, has not an iota of a moral compass. lives primarily off the rush he gets from anaethematizing his latest political opponents... see his long running dispute with Ed...

Well yes, but as long as you recognise that, you can take it and move on. I really don't see it that way. For me the SNP is about power. They want power and that power will come through an independent Scotland. Will Scotland benefit from giving them that power? I don't know. I'm still only on...

The problem with the Political Compass as a yardstick (and, indeed, the traditional Left-Right continuum) is that it bases its measure on an aggregation of discrete items. The more of these you have the more left or right you are. It isn’t so much that it’s badly calibrated (which, even by...
