What the fuck is this? I post a considered, informed, articulate essay by an ex-Labour Party member and senior trade unionist and you respond with this shit?

Yes, but what magnificent ill-informed shit: ''...the Labour wipeout seems hard to fathom...the mean-spirited treatment of Corbyn and his followers...amidst bitter acrimony, one battle in what’s viewed internally as a war on Corbyn’s legacy...''

What legacy you might ask?

There's many reasons for Labour utter humiliation and defeat. Being mean-spirited to Corbyn's legacy is not one of them.

Amongst the many elements of their failure, including Starmer's lack of back bone, policy and charisma, etc, etc, is the unfortunate fact that Labour's party machinery and intelligenstia still believe the vast majority of the working class in the barren north are living in a Ken Loach film circa 1969 or in episode of Alan Bleasdale's Boys from the Blackstuff. And therefore can take their vote as a given, if not, they've failed the local Labour candidate being a bit thick and all that.

As my mother recently said on re-watching Kes, ''But nobody lives like that anymore...''

Another letter in France, this time from the serving military:

Why French soldiers are moving against Macron

Emmanuel Macron was in Strasbourg on Sunday where he addressed the Conference on the Future of Europe. This is where the President of France is happiest, describing the utopia that he still believes can be achieved by the EU. He feels important and powerful and he is among like-minded people...

It comes and it will come to that. The disintegration of the EU project will be sheer and with some urgency. There will be rioting, rioting blood and shattered bones on the streets all of a sudden. Be prepared.

I read that. But then the French always had this panache for revolution and to send some people to the guillotine.

I'm not sure that sentiment is shared in the other member nations.
 
According to the UK's Talk Radio, Boris Johnson has a County Court judgement on him for bad debt. Which means he can't borrow money and his credit rating is trashed. No wonder he's wearing a Pulsar watch.
 
So Liz Cheney got canceled today for being a conservative in the Republican Party.

Meanwhile Trump’s pedo associate Gaetz is in deep water with his wingman looking to make a plea deal with the FBI and the press in possession of his confession letter.

Why are you worried? They don’t have the House, Senate or the Oval Office. You can relax now.

I don’t really care. I find it amusing to see their hypocrisy exposed and I suppose it’s a little sad to see American conservatism hijacked by these far right clowns.

I see over a hundred of your retired generals and senior military ranks have signed a letter against Biden.

What can one say, it's very Gallic. You wouldn't see the Brits doing this kind of thing. Or will they too now voice their disapproval with the current state of politics?

120 retired officers wrote Biden saying he wasn't legitimately elected

A group of more than 120 retired military officers have written President Joe Biden to tell him his election was less than legitimate - while questioning his mental acuity.

Since you mentioned Gaetz.

“Harassment is not making someone feel uncomfortable — that is not harassment. If I just made you feel uncomfortable, that is not harassment. That’s you feeling uncomfortable,”


www.nbcnews.com

Cuomo on allegations against him: 'Harassment is not making someone feel uncomfortable'

An attorney for one of the women who accused the New York governor of sexual harassment called the comments "jaw dropping."
www.nbcnews.com www.nbcnews.com
 
Cuomo is a slime ball harassing subordinate female staff and deserves to be fired.

Gaetz is a pedo who is looking at a doing a lot of federal time for sex trafficking and statutory rape.

Pretty much. Rural Texans are more libertarian than conservative and all the big cities are now very cosmopolitan and politically centrist (like most other cities). Texans mostly consider themselves to be part of ‘the third coast’ and not ‘the south’.

So you have a handful of kids larping Texit for press, though if there were ever to be any sort of secession it would be small towns wanting to leave the rule of Austin and the cities to do their own thing.
 
Fair enough. I still like the idea of the rural Texan, the whole image of it seems appealing, kind of the rugged individual/rancher type also like how the accent changes. Does anyone actually sound like Hank Hill?

Yes, they really do. My father in law is barely intelligible at times.
 
QAnon sure did a great job uncovering the pedo rings in politics ....

In the last month, the governor of Florida, who is considered a likely heir to the GOP throne, has signed an executive order banning businesses from requiring a COVID vaccine as a condition for accessing their private establishment and a law prohibiting social media companies from deciding who they want on their private platforms.

Remember this the next time some Republican drones on about how their party is the one that wants to get government out of our lives and businesses while respecting things like liberty and property rights.
