All the ones I've noticed on Twitter (yes, I know) have said they'll never vote Labour whilst Corbyn is in charge if he continues to facilitate Brexit. Someone compared it to the Lib Dems post tuition fees lies and whilst I don't think that's a logical comparison, I do think that if Corbyn is seen (or more precisely, portrayed) as allowing Brexit to happen, a lot of the younger voters who enabled the great advances at the last election would be extremely fucked off.

I'm extremely, extreeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeemly, fucked off.  Nevertheless, I recognise that it was the fucking Conservatives that got us to this pretty pass, right wing ones, at that.  And whilst there is a Labour leader who is not a pink tory, let alone Corbyn, who I admire greatly, I will support Labour. 

I don't think I'm alone in that sentiment.

To be honest, I'm more pissed off about the Investigatory Powers Act. It's a worrying sign that Labour haven't dropped the authoritarian streak that was so evident during the Blair years.

As will I. However, I think that many may not and I'm a bit surprised that this just seems to get brushed aside as of little concern on here. I know that twitter and the MSP is a shitty nasty vipers nest but there doesn't seem to be any positive coverage of Corbyn at all. Anywhere. And whilst it's to be expected from the usual suspects, when social media appears to be awash with Labour members expressing their dismay at Corbyn's stance (something which IMO he has no other option but to go with), I find it very worrying.

So, according to Alan Duncan, the FCO funded Integrity Initiative does not get involved with domestic politics...

QuoteI have established the facts and I am satisfied that our money does not go towards funding any kind of UK domestic activity.

Yet from the new release of docs -






Zetetic

Which I note was presented here:

(This is the 'Populism 2.0' in the file name, I guess.)

Is Glen O'Hara funded by the Integrity Initiative?

I don't know if he was paid but he certainly attended integrity initiative events according to the documents. Why are the integrity institute studying Jeremy Corbyn exactly, when they are funded by the tory government?

More evidence here that the so called 'people's vote' is an astroturfing campaign funded by corporate and political forces deeply hostile to Jeremy Corbyn https://morningstaronline.co.uk/article/meet-suits-behind-people%E2%80%99s-vote-campaign-and-open-britain

Really enjoying the whole of centrist dad Twitter trying desperately to discredit Bastani about his PhD when if they left him alone he'd be doing it himself. The daft bugger.

This is exactly the sort of thing that you could build a successful movement around. Go to your local party, start some relationships with people in the branch and CLP, get delegated to the latter if necessary and then build a movement to accept a motion to conference that the IPA should be rescinded, or seriously modified. Get some contacts with other CLPs to submit the same/similar motion etc.

The strength of feeling over Brexit has been extremely useful in shaping party policy over the possibility of a second referendum. Something much less controversial, like the LP's relationship to comms data, should be basically up for grabs, I reckon.

This is how you do stuff, as opposed to crying and wanking in the bath.

Cattle trough then. I don't know how caves work.

Just cry and wank without washing, mostly.

Can you not read your own post? Fucking imbecile.

To be fair, he could be doing what I'm doing:

Obviously not as stupid as I'd imagined then.

Who is 'crying and wanking in the bath'?

It's like doing it in the shower, except lying down and the water is just sitting around you like in an amphitheatre, except at knee-height.  Lower than knee-height if anything.

The crying and wanking is exactly the same as in the shower so you can just port that over.


Edit:  Sorry; I thought you asked "what".

Not really. There's an 'issue' to be avoided if you do it in the bath.

Mate this isn't the Brexit thread.  People wanking in the bath don't want any half-measures that undo most of the benefits of wanking in the bath.

Very bourgeois I think.  A rich man's game really.

I don't have a shower.

If we all get together to celebrate a Corbyn victory, you two are sitting in another room.

I don't like the idea of them sharing germs  :(

Hey! I've got a bath!

I can't believe it's only 5th January and I've already had to deploy my first #humblebrag.

Paul Calf

I've got two baths. One of them is in the cellar though, full of quicklime.

Fair enough - quicklime needs to cry and wank sometimes too.

Things are different in the North.
