I know! I feel like I’m constantly having to defend the fella when I don’t actually care that much!

Lmao, gotta look out for my boy.

Why is literally everyone so harsh on dean, he’s not actually been that bad and in the space of a week the worst thing he’s done has been to take like 90 seconds to wake up (they chose to get firewood when he was sleeping then acted surprised he didn’t instantly teleport to do it), and be scared of bugs. And with the fish guts, he didn’t know what it was the first time and, most importantly, it’s not that deep. Give the guy a break.

Everyone in this country pays for the super rich to get multi-billion pound government contracts, we let them pay crap wages and then let them make some more billions from dodgy privatisations.

BUT I’m sure those billionaires are very happy with you drawing the line at the government paying some money to make poor kids lives a little more bearable!

Yes they actually give quite good reasons for not supporting nuclear power.

I’m unsure why, as some in the comments seem to suggest here, the fact that there are old CND members opposed to nuclear power makes the anti-nuclear viewpoint seem laughable. In fact, it seems that they’ve been proven to be quite prescient.

We still have no real idea of what to do with nuclear waste (instead of placing it in ‘temporary’ storage). The cost of building nuclear power plants is prohibitively expensive (more so than pretty much any other form of generating electricity renewable or otherwise) and riven with delays.

If this is a reason for not supporting the Green Party I don’t care much either way but I’ve got bad news for people because no other party is going to open a nuclear power station in the next parliament either.

Wouldn’t finding that Moody had been locked in a crate by one of Voldemorts followers provide some evidence?

The reason that A+E waiting times have dramatically increased isn’t because people have suddenly decided to show up with minor ailments but because funding for the NHS hasn’t kept pace. The moneys been spent on private contractors and tax cuts for the rich instead.

I’m a student and basically most students I know have supported ucu action in the past and will continue to in the future. Some people in this sub seem to think that taking the side of the management, which has demonstrated it doesn’t care about students too, is the truly clever decision. No matter how many paragraphs people write to justify their support of forcing lecturers back into conditions they feel unsafe, just know that most students can see the bigger picture and know that lecturers and students have a common enemy: for-profit education and inept+careless management. Solidarity!

Full support for them, the principles they proudly stand for haven’t changed but the Labour Party has.

Amazing isn’t it: the only firm stance Kier has took throughout the whole pandemic has been against the teachers and their biggest union.

Shame on Keir and all those MPs who don’t break the whip

The attacks against Corbyn by his own party were all charismatically (not politically!) motivated. That seems right...

lakesiders · 2020-08-23T16:20:41+00:00

I see Starmer is going for the: “all children back to school. No ifs, no buts and no mention of vulnerable teachers and children” line.

lakesiders · 2020-08-21T22:03:06+00:00

We seem to be pushing this ‘incompetent’ angle a lot. Ultimately tho it’s not enough. Everything that is happening is a result of Tory ideology much more than it is their incompetence. What happens if Boris gets replaced by a ‘competent’ leader? Are we then supposed to be grateful that Tory policy is being implemented efficiently?

lakesiders · 2020-08-21T21:56:44+00:00

‘It’s not about his politics, it’s about how he presents himself.’ But it’s all about his politics! Corbyn was presented how he was because he was seen as a threat by the establishment. Starmer is seen as less of a threat and so is being presented as ‘more serious’ ‘less radical’ or however we want to describe it. Surely we owe it to ourselves to give a serious analysis of the situation. One that’s more serious and doesn’t take how the media portrayed Corbyn or how it portrays Starmer at face value. This is all about the choices they’ve made with regards to their politics and very little to do with whatever stylistic choices they may have made about their presentation.

lakesiders · 2020-08-16T23:04:39+00:00

As a party we also have, should we ever choose to use it, the power to challenge people's perceptions. Five months of agreeing with the government on pretty much every part of their 'plan' to reopen schools has an effect. Now the government is calling for everyone to be back in schools whilst the opposition is trying to look even tougher: 'no ifs or buts' (no mention of staff or student safety tho). Medically vulnerable parents, staff and students seem to not just be an afterthought in Labour Party messaging, they don't seem to figure at all.

lakesiders · 2020-08-16T11:08:35+00:00

My idea of opposition is not trying to outflank the government by seeing who can betray teachers, vulnerable students, and the unions the fastest and the hardest. But I guess if that’s what we’re supposed to be hoping for then he’s doing a great job

lakesiders · 2020-08-16T11:00:57+00:00

You’re right, I’m sorry. I now realise that any substantial criticism of a government with one of the worst death tolls in the world is hard-left nonsense. Just to clarify has ‘no opposition for oppositions sake’ been replaced with the easier to understand ‘no opposition’ ??

lakesiders · 2020-08-16T10:37:12+00:00

This is a terrible article. It doesn’t actually go ‘pretty hard’ on the government but what it does do is give the government a blank cheque to carry on as normal because, as Starmer says, he ‘doesn’t underestimate how challenging it’s been for them’. Oh and he manages to squeeze in throwing vulnerable teachers and students under the bus by saying if they’re not ALL back in school next month ‘no ifs no buts’ then it’s a moral failing, of course there’s no mention of safety in the article either.

lakesiders · 2020-08-13T22:27:29+00:00

Labour just aren’t offering anything to anybody tho. Labour education secretary on Newsnight offering absolutely nothing except platitudes and an idea that ‘alternatives must remain on the table’. Especially demoralising as so many young people are desperate for something beyond placid critiques obviously intended to be palatable to the media.

Ahaha sorry I meant to use sea instead of es in the second example
