This is not a reasoned political response. Labour has spent two years making all the voting groups who backed the Greens feel unwelcome and unheard, and now attacks them for daring to back someone else. They believe Labour isnβt listening and Starmer seems determined to prove them right

Yeah, it is basically the same dynamic of 'it's easy, you just promise everything and don't even try to get electoral consent for whichever tradeoff you want to make', and then getting into government and going 'oh my god, this is hard'.

Mafia goon: Nice house you got here...it'd be a shame if something happened to it
Media outlets: Mafia goon rules out use of force. Expresses regret at the mere thought of it

I cannot tell you how absolutely infuriatingly this stuff comes across to Europeans.
When we say America is no longer a reliable ally, it goes considerably deeper than Donald Trump himself. This kind of complacent, condescending shit is a *huge* part of it.

telling the secret police they have immunity to harm & kill citizens really lays bare the hollowness of decades of right-wing GOP screeching about encroaching Big Government - it was never a problem they had with government per se, just that it wasn't being used to harm the people they wanted to

The 'give ice qr codes' thing reminds me of when Sarah Everard was murdered by a real policeman using his real police id to kidnap her, and the police & gvt made out the solution was to have a helpline to check that the person bundling you away was a real policeman (as the murderer was)

And the BBC package ends with some crap about βin these politically charged times, dualling narrativesβ
WHAT IN THE NAME OF GOD IS GOING ON!?!
There is no dual narratives
An innocent woman was shot dead and the Trump administration is lying about
THAT in the story

A Rush Hour Crush I got published on 7th January, 2015.
To the sexy Spanish snorita on the No.30 bus to Highbury. I loved our heated chat on Friday but realise what I did was insensitive to your country. I'm mortified. Please let me make up for it, over tapas or paella or whatever.

Things are awful, so a little treat for the real Crush-Heads. It is now eleven years since I got this printed in the Metro.
