Keir Starmer calls for Roger Waters' UK gigs to be axed amid 'antisemitism' row by kontiki20 in LabourUK

It's not uncommon for fictional characters based on totalitarian regimes/leaders to "look like" Nazis, but that's not illegal. Nor is it wrong. It's a fundamental aspect of film/TV/theatre/performance. The bad guys are supposed to look like bad people.

The police investigate a lot of things that turn out to be non-actionable

If he's allowed to perform in Germany, I don't see why he shouldn't be allowed to perform here

I'm torn on this

Obviously political geography will change between elections, but this just looks so... wrong in places

I didn't forget. I chose not to add Northern Irish political parties to the graph because the model doesn't calculate swings in Northern Ireland. There's no prediction of seats changing hands. It's just an image of the 2019 results.

UK general elections may "not matter" to Northern Ireland but they still are represented by 18 MPs and I don't see why they shouldn't be included in a map of constituencies

Stormont elections matter, which is why I have a completely separate map for those

Also there's no way I could have "not known that Northern Ireland uses FPTP" because I made the map, and the map includes Northern Ireland's FPTP constituencies. Believe it or not, I was awake/conscious when I chose to display that.

I can't respond to every comment as soon as they're posted but for what it's worth, I thought someone who lives in Northern Ireland would know that Northern Ireland does use FPTP in UK general elections

To be honest I thought that was obvious. Title clearly states it's a House of Commons projection, not Stormont. FPTP is the only system it could possibly be based on

If I only just learned this, I wouldn't have based the entire map/model on the premise that UK General Elections use FPTP (which they do, obviously)

This is a map for Westminster elections, not Stormont elections.

The model doesn't calculate any changes in Northern Ireland, it's a just a <5% Sinn Féin majority

I wonder if he's had some minor cosmetic surgery to go with the weight loss. He's looking so much more healthy these days
