    “Government can’t tell people what to do” is certainly a hot take.

    Mask or no mask?

    Us and the states are going to be a horror show at this rate. Look what it took for Spain and Italy to bend the curve, we are nowhere near that.

    this 5G malarky

    It was the same with 3G and 4G just not as big because less social media. Any time anyone mentions radiation people freak out. Because they’re morons and don’t get that radiation is all over the place and mostly harmless. I remember it with mobiles in general as well. Nutters saying it causes...

    RoS level conspiracy nonsense.

    this 5G malarky

    This is the maddest thing. 5G has been “on” for ages. Cov has had it since last year for example.

    Tried that, pharmacist told me to go to my GP. As I say I haven’t had a prescription for over a decade.

    New Labour Leader

    Starmer is rich. He has his honours not through buying them though. You can be good and worthy all you like but you don’t deserve *honours* until you’ve earned them and shouldn’t be able to short circuit with a cheque. I swear you’re just arguing for the sake of it now, no one can be so...

    These are 5pm Thurs - 5pm Fri I believe so should be “weekday numbers”. Tomorrow and Monday may be suppressed if the theory is right, see if we get a spike Tuesday. This feels like the last few games watching City, never able to properly celebrate a win because you just need to look to the...

    New Labour Leader

    Every QC gets it, they’re Queens Council, of course the Queen honours them. It’s just part of the job. I’m not sure bunging the Tory party £2m for a lifetime “job” in the Lords is in the same sport, let alone league as becoming QC because you’re good at your job, not to mention basically running...

    New Labour Leader

    This is why I voted Nandy, he has a lot of work to win over more conservative Labour voters. I’m not sure a FBPE strategy will work.

    New Labour Leader

    Why should a lad that’s worked his way up to that level turn it down? Not all left wing people are anti-honours, most think they should go to working class kids done good and those who aid their community and not mates of politicians. You’re trying hard to find something that just isn’t there...

    New Labour Leader

    It’s a funny old game politics. I can see a situation where Corbyn has his “change” thunder stolen by Brexit and Starmer has his “normality” thunder stolen by the pandemic. Don’t think it’ll happen though. Really hope that one good thing about this pandemic will be people turning away from loud...

    Agency work is the biggest scam going by everyone aside the employees. The stories I’ve heard. Maybe second to bullshit “self employment” that isn’t. Give your workers a proper job you scumbags.

    What's everyone watching while on 'lockdown'?

    Just started the Tiger King on Netflix. I’m hooked. got 7 more seasons of The Simpsons to get through too, though that’s becoming quite hard going.

    New Labour Leader

    Read his policy positions I posted up before. Pre a Corbyn he’d had been easily “the left wing candidate” maybe on the left of the soft left. He’s further left than Milliband. I’d order the last few leaders right to left as: Blair >>>>>>>>>Brown>>Milliband>>Starmer>>>>>Corbyn

    New Labour Leader

    What good does it do though? The anti war movement was lead from within the party, we had cabinet members quitting to lead marches. It was bad, really bad, but what good is there in constantly bringing it up? Do you hear the Tories banging on about Black Wednesday all the time or whatever?

    Soft left economically and authoritarian/communitarian/small c conservative (take your pick) on social issues yeah. Have a look at this graph, even Tory voters are left of centre in the grand scheme of things. Paula Surridge does some great stuff of values of voters and what sort of voter...

    New Labour Leader

    Really not sure how anyone can call this list of policies right wing, even just in the context of the Labour Party: Economy: An increase to income tax for the top 5% of earners, a reversal of Tory cuts in corporation tax, and a clamp down on tax avoidance, particularly of large corporations...
