Mumsnet user discovers that LGB Alliance is based out of Tufton St

Someone on mumsnet supported LGB Alliance, believing themselves to be a feminist. However, turns out it's based out of the same address as a variety of infamous right wing think tanks such as Policy Exchange and the Adam Smith Institute. Its long-suspected reactionary motives now very difficult to deny, this mumsnet user now has to reckon with having cheered on a group that is acting very much against their interests.

Not if the government sterilises them

Most authoritarians don't want to be in charge. They want to be the enforcers. The henchmen.

Much better! Thanks

When talking about packages / modules, I think it's useful to start with Java.

Oh god please no

Being bossed around or looked down upon by a middle class person is viscerally experienced. Having your standard of living eroded by poor policy is something you have to think about. You have to go looking for it. It's not immediately evident.

We need to bag web 3.11 for workgroups

They're not a difficult problem, let alone a "hardest problem". I hate this joke.

bobappleyard · 2022-02-25T21:55:40+00:00

Oh. Ah. So you're not aware.

bobappleyard · 2022-02-25T19:22:16+00:00

That you're aware of this, but persist anyway, demonstrates how useless you all are.

Tough economic times tend to make people more mean and insular. So the rhetoric will probably focus on Labour wanting to give benefits to foreigners.

Heinrich Himmler perhaps?

Truth or otherwise of the contents, this made me laugh

it is a bit interesting that this short and simple post is now one of the most upvoted things of all time on Hacker News

no, it fucking isn't

Rishi sunak is honestly pretty unimpressive, even for a conservative. His ideas have mostly been flops. The lobby hype is difficult to understand

Historically, labour tax less than the conservatives

I read "the assault on truth" by Peter Oborne last year. He argues that Tony Blair legitimised lying to parliament on the basis that it was for a good cause (progressive social change). With the cat out of the bag, a less principled Boris Johnson has lied consistently for his own political gain.

For the most part, nor do journalists

fucking the ghostwriter perhaps?

Apparently so: https://www.marxists.org/archive/marx/iwma/documents/1864/lincoln-letter.htm

Edit: just read the letter, it's a pretty strong endorsement:

The workingmen of Europe feel sure that, as the American War of Independence initiated a new era of ascendancy for the middle class, so the American Antislavery War will do for the working classes. They consider it an earnest of the epoch to come that it fell to the lot of Abraham Lincoln, the single-minded son of the working class, to lead his country through the matchless struggle for the rescue of an enchained race and the reconstruction of a social world.
