Okay, that is interesting then.

I think people who say that were brought up on 1990s sci fi and similar where a lot of plot lines concerned soldiers following their conscience and disobeying illegal or immoral orders.

In the real world, militaries in western countries are really *very* keen on people following orders.

If I see a monstrous character as cool, does that not say more about me than the work?

It is, after all, the paper for those who find the Telegraph too moderate.

And, ironically, if anyone should have their smartphones confiscated and be banned from the internet, it's the political and media class.

Available to politicians and spads only, I assume

Strange thing that though, because I use WhatsApp and none of my messages have ever disappeared, none of my friends have said this either

They run the same business model as Oxford, it sounds like

In the case of Corbyn, they had Labour insiders feeding them fake stories. It was an inside job.

That's what that irked me about centrists' "we are the only ones who know how to win" shit. Before 2024, their last win was in 2005. That's quite a lot of not winning.

Quite a lot of WhatsApp messages in there too

I am certain the words "never interrupt your enemy when he is making a mistake" have been sagely uttered multiple times.

"When Labour tried socialism, we got shellacked" - I think there are some very important details missing from that story

Would never think of it, in fact

Now the party is acting as a magnet for all the progressive voters that Labour told to get lost, as well as many voters who don't think about politics very hard but they want a change and will gravitate to any politician who seems to be offering it.

The turning point was last year when the Greens had a leadership election. The Greens had not hitherto been a socialist party, but Zack Polanski ran for leader on a clear socialist platform and won handsomely. Since then the party membership has ballooned.

Although, to be fair, our Green party wasn't what it is now until quite recently

Unfortunately I think your Green party is a rather different beast

It makes a very pleasant change! Also, I hope you feel better soon.

You know there's someone in Labour HQ thinking exactly this

It is a good day isn't it

The ones at the top, setting the direction, they really are this racist. They believe themselves to be better than that, so they project their beliefs onto an imagined working class, but in truth it's just them.

Fuck yeah

Well, they *are* very stupid

"Ai, ai," wailed Legolas, "a big band has come!" "A big band," muttered Gandalf, "and I am already weary. What evil fortune!"

Apparently replies now work as well
