This is good where Peter Oborne throws a benny at Amol Rajan for being a suck up non-journo after he defends laura kunt

Because Sounds is a horrible piece of shit and you cant include timcodes anymore you'll have to move to 1hr 23 yourself

Mr_Simnock

There won't be another dementia tax moment though will there? They're gonna release the safest manifesto quite close to polling day, gently gently, nicely nicely.

(Thanks to everyone for trying to cheer my negative ass up a bit)

I think the Tories have ceilinged now that BXP have ruled themselves out as serious players. The little bounce we've seen in their polling is I think this effect having played out to its conclusion. There is now nowhere left to court new voters from, and I suspect most Tories will have "declared" (I.e., be willing to admit to pollsters that's who they are voting for).

The fight then is for the undecideds and LibDems in marginal seats. Although the gap may be static or slightly widening thanks to BXP, Labour numbers are rising which may convince respondents to overcome the stigma and nail their colours to the mast. The challenge is to get FBPE maniacs in marginals to ensure that Labour get enough seats for a 2nd ref to become reality.

Really seriously, not just about the election but life in general, choose whether or not to grieve when someone dies.  Weeping all your life and ruining it (and other peoples') by anticipating bereavement (especially when some are immortal) goes beyond madness.  Need to get a firm grip on this habit and throw it completely away, IMO.

Johnson is always capable of a dementia tax moment. That is the real hope, that he turns off enough floaters to shaft them good and proper. Proper Tories seem to be holding their noses and sticking with him for the sake of the party but there must be loads of previous voters who couldn't stomach it

This will have impact, I think. They all deeply respect Oborne on some level.

Rich Uncle Skeleton

QuoteI have talked to senior BBC executives, and they tell me they personally think it's wrong to expose lies told by a British prime minister because it undermines trust in British politics. Is that a reason for giving Johnson free rein to make any false claim he wants?

Fucks sake.

i mean i know its a pain in the arse but listen to the bbc radio bit where he blows up on Amol Rajan. I quite like Amol's media presenting but it's clear he's an utter cunt politically - he made the terrible decision to host an archive on 4 about Rivers of Blood that had Enoch Powell's speech read out in full by Emperor Palpatine.

(it starts just after the news after the end of the first hour)

Really telling how some old pundits are fucking despairing at the state of the BBC now. Wonder if Matthew "sensible gay tory" Parris can be bothered to pipe up properly too

Time to end the BBC Part 92

Was this when Barry Norman was still presenting it?  If so, I'm game.

C(o)unterppoint to that letter signed by Coogan, Ruffalo etc:

https://twitter.com/hugorifkind/status/1196722666532745217

Ok comments on Twitter aren't really the most high-brow items to be debating, but this replay to Hugo's tweet left me baffled. As the main claim from the piece is about Anti-Semitism, is the tweeter suggesting Bernie Bros are anti-Semitic?
Quote from: Mealy_perteaters on November 19, 2019, 11:15:52 AM
Excellent, Hugo. Ruffalo, of course, has been enormously supportive of Bernie Sanders in the US and you don't have to look very hard at all to see parallels between so-called Bernie Bros & Corbynites.

Yes, and in that regard, the tweeter is correct that there are parallels: it's the left being smeared in both cases by self-declared centrists.

Quote"what does this Hollywood superstar imagine he knows about the experiences of my great aunt twice removed up in Hendon?" And I am wondering if the answer to that question is, actually, that he hasn't even thought about her, or anybody like her, for a single second.


Why would he? I suspect its also the first time you've give thought about your great aunt twice removed since you were a toddler. Is this the son of Malcolm?

Labour hitting 30% is a ray of hope, only did that in 2017 at the height of the manifesto leak and the dementia tax fury with May

Mr_Simnock

That's 30% with a very heavy 'weighting' (cough) towards the tories

Shoulders?-Stomach!

Tories were on 45%? Fucking hell

greencalx

That was the BXP effect. Seems to have worked its way through now, so I think this is where the fun starts.

Suggesting if it does split on Brexit lines then Labour aren't going to beat them unless the Lib Dem vote collapses and deals are done by constituency.

What I am guessing is a lot of Remainers who now say they respect the result and can't stand Corbyn are going to vote Tory under the 'get Brexit done' banner and the fantasist die hard Remainers are going to split between Lib Dems and Labour.

The manifesto had better be pure fuckin gold to disrupt that.

greencalx

I'm not sure. The point is that the uptick from Farage standing down half his army seems now to have dissipated, and I suspect the Tory headline won't go up. It's currently sitting at where they were at the 2017 election and with only one way to go from here. So whether they gain seats will depend on marginals and the willingness of idiot centrists to make theirs a protest vote.

Bear in mind that there are a fuckload of undecideds - the gap and most of any movement will come from them.

Does that mean all Beatles fans are antisemitic

Corbyn's mispronunciation was in fact a coded message to his antisemitic allies to begin Holocaust II. It was concocted by Albert Einsteen and Dr. Frankensteen at a Rammsteen gig. But fortunately, David Baddyle overheard them and was able to spread the message.
