That sound at the end isn't Erin sighing in disgust, it's the sound of the last fragments of hope anyone had that Your Party wouldn't be a bag of shite evacuating the planet
Yorp conference doing its best to shut down anyone daring to call a transphobe a transphobe.

It's fun reading through the cheerful FT Christmas food article and then being joltingly reminded that you're reading the FT when it helpfully suggests you trade down a £1,000 bottle of red for a £250 bottle of madeira on.ft.com/4pJDyKZ

I’m sorry but if “delivering food” isn’t the kind of job that robots are allowed to take then what is the point of even inventing robots
Just as you thought food delivery companies couldn't inflict any more misery on society:
Instead of using lowly-paid gig economy contractors to deliver groceries, they're replacing humans with robots, who, in turn, force humans off the pavement into road traffic.

I actually have quite a lot of sympathy for people who want a left party that isn't the Greens and also a decent amount for Corbyn as a person which is why I say that I think everyone involved deserves better than the Your Party shitshow

The previously Green and non-affiliated members of Your Party are not prepared for the destructive, obsessively factional "organising" of the SWP and Trots.
It's like wanting thriving conversation at a party so inviting an entire basket of reddit debate bros because you heard they're good at that.

Huge cheers as a speaker at Your Party conference shouts "no witch hunts, no expulsions" on stage and calls for all members of other socialist/communist groups to be allowed into the party (many have been booted out in recent weeks)
Many are astounded Corbyn's allies have expelled many Trotskyists.

Perhaps if he wanted support from colleagues he could have simply not chosen to devote his life to an awful, sectional cause and comported himself in a way that was unusually terrible even by the rock bottom standards of that particular cause
Again, the business of the British press is recruiting an unending series of toxic bigots and very right wing cranks to help kick fuck out of people the lads despise and want to harm.

I have now had some of this through the AeroPress and I'm sorry to say that it's still as banging as it always is and if you like coffee and you've not had this you are very much missing out so buy it, Strangers deliver and you have no excuse. If you live in Norwich you have even less excuse.
Just seen that Strangers Coffee have their Boozy Santa Blend on sale for this year and have immediately left the house to buy some. Do it. strangerscoffee.com/coffee/boozy...

I think more people would be interested in pensions if there was the ability to withdraw some small portion - like 5% or so of your total lifetime savings - as a taxable payment before retirement age
yeah what everyone keeps saying is "this is how you make more money as long as you don't need to access it for, say, at least twenty years" and what I'm saying is "I have no safety net, and therefore no concept of "money I definitely won't need to access for twenty years""

Like not being funny here but I don’t think basic cordiality is too much to ask from the leadership of what putatively is a single organisation. What is even the point here.
Jeremy Corbyn declines to call Zarah Sultana a friend as Your Party holds first conference

I don't have WhatsApp so I am somewhat cut off from things but as I understand it the shit that gets circulated in those groups is basically "what if the Turner Diaries weren't proofread and everyone involved talked like they were on meth?"
Incredibly funny how much political discussion is driven by the four things at the bottom while everyone else is getting cooked on Facebook looking at pictures of AI Eminem opening nursing homes for crying veterans

the key here is that most of the opinion setters are on the bottom 4 despite the top 4 being more accurate in representing popular opinion

It doesn’t make any difference whether the public are getting second hand inhalation off the BBC and Radio Norwich, or whether they’re honking it pure straight out of the crackpipe. It is all the same. A great Nordstream horseshit incitement pipeline, blasting 24/7 into every home in the land.

It is IMO not possible to operate any kind of meaningful democracy when your national press is a joke and a travesty, but your mileage on that may vary. I think it’s incontestable that it is impossible to govern well and effectively, while being in hock to these pantomime clowns.

Having that painting makes a clown NPC appear in your house who intermittently cries and tries to make everyone miserable. It can only be removed by lighting the painting on fire

Fani Willis is like a name Kenny Everett would have come up with.
Fani Willis is an excellent illustration of the concept that MOST Americans are super-deferential to prosecutors to the point of ignoring their bad behavior, so long as the prosecutors are going after someone the Americans in question don’t like.
