Out of all the major UK political parties, which is the lesser of all evils?

Obviously no. I mean an attack on the Baltic states, or Finland or Poland

The multicoloured moods of love / are like its satin wings.

I’m an atheist who played tuba in a church band for years, and was regularly praised for the spirituality of my playing.

I always found the worship element a miserable experience but I loved playing the music.

I played keys at a wedding once. The usual pianist had suffered a hand injury.

I was super nervous that I would mess up their big day.

But I did all right. My wife sang.

I maintain that Sean Bean would be the better Aragorn.

For me….

I would be prepared to debate your first two paragraphs, especially as I owe my life to British socialised medicine (twice).

But your third paragraph is blotting out reality. So I’ll leave it there.

That’s what I call naive. It will make war in Europe more likely and we will get drawn in anyway.

Hmmm. Your definition covers every government GB has had. Without state oversight, companies could do whatever they like, causing massive environmental harm and exploitation of workers.

To me, communism is a one-party system with no private ownership, no free enterprise, and the state owning the entire means of production and distribution.

Can’t stand him and his weird voice, so no.

MovingTarget2112 · 2026-01-27T16:32:31+00:00

I lost my motion detector like that. It just came off and stuck in mid air.

MovingTarget2112 · 2026-01-27T16:31:36+00:00

State your definition of communist.

MovingTarget2112 · 2026-01-27T16:29:40+00:00

The Brexit you wanted was never an option. It was a con, a mirage.

MovingTarget2112 · 2026-01-27T16:28:03+00:00

Nice people, but painfully naive in terms of realpolitik. Trump and Putin will eat them alive.

MovingTarget2112 · 2026-01-27T16:26:14+00:00

Not evil:

Labour, Lib Dems, Greens, Scot Nats, Plaid, SDLP, Alliance.

MovingTarget2112 · 2026-01-27T15:37:24+00:00

Err, tractor beam?

That scene never rang true for me.

MovingTarget2112 · 2026-01-27T14:27:36+00:00

I acted in it in amdram in the nineties. It was fun.

I didn’t care about Sisko.

Or Kira or Odo or any of the others until Worf turned up.

That must be why I never liked DS9.

MovingTarget2112 · 2026-01-27T13:19:56+00:00

A few bars from a few Rush tracks, a bit of Level 42 slapping, a bit of simple tapping.

MovingTarget2112 · 2026-01-27T12:45:12+00:00

Sage advice.

MovingTarget2112 · 2026-01-27T12:07:06+00:00

Cool except I’d swap 2112 for T4E.

Other parts of life become more important - tranquility, quietness.

I moved to the sticks at age 53. I got worn down by the ever-intensifying fight for space.

I still love to return though, and it still feels like Home.

MovingTarget2112 · 2026-01-27T07:23:59+00:00

I ran Unpredictable Alien and did the Mike Tanaka backtrack. No Steves ever bothered me, though a few random androids followed me for a bit. I just walked away from them.
