The 2019 General Election

[Poi E]

We've already got to the point where Sky news is better than the BBC.

The graphics are better. But audio and video quality is even. So Sky wins.

 

[gawkrodger]

Fucking class. Must remember that one.

BBC staff express fear of public distrust after election coverage
.

That's brilliant. Nicking that for the next time something goes wrong at work.

'The project hasn't missed it's targets, there have just been a number of errors which have unfortunately fallen the wrong side of the line'

Voting by age, apparently. Holy god.

Just when you feel that a thread may be reaching its natural death, along comes some insight that you just have to include in the discussion.

This is up there...

 

[butchersapron]

Oh fantastic.

It's this sort of insight that makes me want to pay a monthly subscription

Die Lösung

After the uprising of the 17th of June
The Secretary of the Writers' Union
Had leaflets distributed on the Stalinallee
Stating that the people
Had forfeited the confidence of the government
And could only win it back
By increased work quotas. Would it not in that case be simpler
for the government
To dissolve the people
And elect another?

 

[butchersapron]

Note she doesn't blame her lib-dem hero swinson.

Ah, OK. Be interesting to see if things will turn out like that.

That ^ surely must be a parody account. Surely..?

I see your answers and raise you 'I blame democracy itself'.

If only there was some

 

[billy_bob]

If only there was some

I didn't mean the quantity or lack thereof. I meant the very concept.

Tbf it did make me laugh. Binning the fags because they're going to be vitally important to the approaching long and arduous struggle. (Her 'radical' pals, not the fags.)

We will need some people to put against the wall and her and her Oxbridge chums fit the bill

I confess I've thought "I better drop the booze and fags now, can't cope with all this shit on top of hangovers and coughing" but somehow I still seem to be smoking and drinking.

You're not a radical superhero though.

Yeh. Failing to learn *again* that if people want tory generally they will vote tory and people who want Labour unlikely to vote blue Labour. Somewhere today I've seen figures for Sedgefield showing the Labour vote declining there under Blair from 71% in 97 to 36% now, in a straight or straightish line. If Labour want to recover they not only need policies but meaningful engagement by local activists in their communities
