Keir Starmer's time is up

[Elpenor]

Fucking great.
We had no trains here ALL weekend.
If a corporation can convince the UN that water is not a basic human right, then I rather not have corporations in control of my water , fitting water meters (and whatever malarkey that might mean)..
Coz I tell you what as much as not having trains for 2 days was a pain in the arse, not having water for 2 days? no thankyou.


Was on the Grand Union a couple of years back, stopped at the waterpoint by Bull's bridge -now bring your own tap head.
Has been a rest point for gentlemen of the road for over a century.

BW keys have been a thing for years, since the 90s at least

No not the bw keys ...the waterpoint is on the Tesco site just as you come off the London arm about 100 yards from a bridge that's a kippable. Used to be just a straight tap (I know there are ones which do need bwkey access that one didn't..for reasons. Now if you ain't got a wrench or your own tap head you can't use. That said also heard of licensed boats having difficulty accessing water on the kennet this summer

Ah, that puts a different perspective on it.

Best it's all privatized then

Being lumbered with just those two options has always been the problem.

 

[two sheds]

Indeed, although presented with those two options I know which I think will benefit the great majority of people more.

 

[Leighsw2]

There is rumour that Labour got an injunction but they can bypass it by putting it on YouTube.

Any further info on that? I've not come across that on my journey across Twitter today. Interesting if it can be circumvented via YouTube.

Episode 3 has dropped

What's the magic solution?

Episode 3 has dropped

"This video is private"

Bit odd?

 

[steveseagull]

 

[ruffneck23]

That is still unavailable even using a vpn

 

[steveseagull]

OK I have set my VPN to the Netherlands and Japan and it is still showing as private

Keir Starmer speech: Labour leader to quote Tony Blair in pitch for power

Sir Keir Starmer will tell Labour's conference he has brought the party back to the centre ground.

www.bbc.co.uk

Any any normal time, quoting a war criminal would be a no-no.
But here we are...

Yeah Ive tried with romania still nothing,

 

[steveseagull]

I would imagine it has been downloaded at some point whilst it was live this morning. It will pop up somewhere soon

No dice here... Although their twitter does say it'll be released at 12:00 GMT (13:00 here), so may just be that.

 

[two sheds]

Am downloading it but can't see where it's being downloaded to

Dowloaded ok.

 

[steveseagull]

Oh. This will piss a lot of the right wing wankers off. Direct result of the Al Jazeera investigations I would have thought

 

[steveseagull]

In August...

Supreme Court refuses to hear Jeremy Corbyn appeal in libel case

Commentator Richard Millett is suing Mr Corbyn over remarks he made during an interview on the BBC’s Andrew Marr show in 2018.

There's a lot on unhandled islamophibic abuse and spying on muslim labour party members.

 

[AmateurAgitator]

What's the magic solution?

I don't think the solution is 'magic' but I'd say worker-run, for the the needs of the communities. Obviously.

 

[steveseagull]

This would be across every front page and TV screen if they had done that to Jewish members.

There is the hierarchy of racism. Right there.

 

[teuchter]

I don't think the solution is 'magic' but I'd say worker-run, for the needs of the communities and probably decentralised. Obviously.

Do you believe that this would be feasible under some version of our current political setup or is this all reliant on wholesale revolution and so on happening first?

I think people need to get off their arse and seize infrastructure and the means of production and stop wasting time with parliamentary and liberal bollocks. Then the working class really would be back. I'd also like to see certain places burnt down, maybe we could start with the Ofgem offices? Why hasn't it been done yet I wonder? What are people waiting for?

Have a nice day.

 

[Brainaddict]

Is there a good article with a summary of the Labour Files revelations? I don't have the patience for watching it but am mildly curious about what it contains.

 

[Karl Masks]

Notsofar.

Perhaps Sir Keir intervened? Perhaps Youtube were too busy singing GOd Save the King

Ok, doesn't actually answer my question but I'll take the implied answer to be "no".

I don't know what exact flavour of revolutionary you are but I've never really understood how major public infrastructure stuff (things like railways or power generation) is supposed to work without pretty significant centralised control of some kind.
