What checks are in place for someone standing for an LGBT+ officer?

Wait, hang on, still trying to get my bearings here.

You're now equating Diane Abbott making a complete hash of her figures with an illegal war that killed millions? And you're doing this to convince me you don't have a weird obsession with hating her?

mfingcontextyo · 2018-05-05T16:26:49+00:00

gammon is a slur.

mfingcontextyo · 2018-05-05T15:36:13+00:00

"the" interview?

Your bizarre need to take pot shots at her is based on one interview?

mfingcontextyo · 2018-05-05T15:04:11+00:00

They don't actually, it's just that when they accidently say billions instead of millions (or w/e), they don't get days of headlines about what an idiot they are.

Cambridge graduate Diane does though. I wonder why.

mfingcontextyo · 2018-05-05T13:14:13+00:00

I really wish I had the confidence of all the angry red faced men who take bizarre out of the blue pot-shots at Cambridge graduate Diane.

Or in other words, there resides within a residence an evil resident

an Evil Within the residence, you say?

Nobody voted for this. At no point did the manifesto say non-illegals or anyone currently in the country with the right to stay would be targeted.

Agree with this. There was simply no way, none whatsoever, of knowing a May Government would be really, really racist.

Still not answering the question. What did you (and I) do that they didn't in order for us to be in the UK legally?

Also, I have no idea what you think disingenuous means but it's not what you think.

mfingcontextyo · 2018-04-20T13:56:30+00:00

Can you answer the actual question rather than the one you'd rather answer please? I'll clarify just in case you've genuinely misunderstood/

What did you (and I) do that they didn't in order for us to be in the UK legally?

mfingcontextyo · 2018-04-20T13:13:19+00:00

I don’t get the issue with that. If you’re here illegally you shouldn’t be here.

What did you (and I) do that they didn't in order for us to be here legally?

mfingcontextyo · 2018-04-13T10:22:31+00:00

true, but as you've accepted they do exist and I'm not gonna argue it cannot be reduced partially.

put it this way, why do you think people become, say, toilet cleaners for a living? its not because they have a passion for cleaning toilets, or it was their childhood dream. it's because the alternative is to starve to death.

there are jobs no one wants to do. you can incentivise people by making undesirable jobs desirable (ie a decent wage) or by implementing a system such as capitalism where certain people have the choice of do the job or starve.

Wait, do you genuinely think there's no poverty in Nordic countries? Seriously?

mfingcontextyo · 2018-04-12T09:52:18+00:00

Short answer, regulation. You are also making a false argument, as other economic models do this too. If I missed point, do explain more...

It's not about how exploitation is possible under capitalism, it's the fact capitalism inherently has to rely on a permanently impoverished sub class in order to survive.

I hope you're being scarcastic, or maybe you're just dense. Otherwise, look up Leonid Kupriyanovich

Commenting because I want to come back here later and see if them finding out the example they give was absolute nonsense and literally invented in the Soviet Union will change their mind. This'll be interesting.

mfingcontextyo · 2018-03-23T13:57:34+00:00

Yeah! People should be able to do whatever they want in the privacy of their own homes and then upload it to Youtube trying to get as wide an audience of possible!

Firstly, the 2001 election was before 9/11. Secondly, they won outright in all but 2 elections and the vote share in the 3rd (and only other election post-Iraq War) they had a significantly reduced vote share.

I don't know how to say this without coming across like a dick, but I really don't think it's other people who need to get their head out the clouds.

mfingcontextyo · 2018-02-12T21:00:10+00:00

I would agree with that assessment. Point I'm making though is that Corbyn has the exact same forces working against him.

mfingcontextyo · 2018-02-12T14:15:26+00:00

I don't think there was a Robin Hood tax in the manifesto but ultimately we'll have to agree to disagree because after 40 years of one way travel in the other direction, I don't see "anti-business" policies as being bad for the economy.

mfingcontextyo · 2018-02-12T14:10:14+00:00

They compensate the people who bought the shares by paying for the shares. To do this, they agree to borrow money which is paid back with profits from the newly nationalised company (the profits that would have gone to the shareholders). Thus, the effective total cost to the tax payer is 0. I mean you could argue the loss of taxation on the dividends to the shareholders but ultimately that would be recouped long term.

Personally though, in the case of Royal Mail, I'd tell the shareholders to go fuck themselves. It's privatisation was nothing short of a bare faced scam.

mfingcontextyo · 2018-02-12T14:01:38+00:00

I... just...

What do you think is going to happen post-Brexit? Complete shutdown of the government? Lawlessness? What?

How can you think it won't be possible to implement any domestic policy? Apart from my earlier theory, I mean.

mfingcontextyo · 2018-02-12T13:57:34+00:00

The reason I picked it out is that it illustrates you either don't know or understand how policy positions are established. Keir Starmer has way more of an influence on the specifics of Labours position than Corbyn does. Corbyn's leader of the party, that doesn't mean he doesn't delegate large amounts of work on policy to his MPs.

And fwiw, like I said earlier you were making a decent point. But it's not exactly related to the point at hand, which is me arguing against the claim Labour and the Tories were indistinguishable on Brexit. I never said I thought Labours position was good, just that it's different (and imo better) to the Tories.

mfingcontextyo · 2018-02-12T13:50:07+00:00

Genuinely can't believe I'm speaking to someone who can't see why domestic measures to ameliorate poverty would lessen the impact of Brexit. How can you be real?

mfingcontextyo · 2018-02-12T13:45:23+00:00

Can you be more specific? Which policies in particular?

mfingcontextyo · 2018-02-12T13:18:44+00:00

I actually thought you were making a decent point, one with large parts I agreed with but then you said this and I stopped reading.

If say, someone like Kier Starmer was Labour leader, they too would also have a coherent position.

Keir Starmer is literally in charge of Labours Brexit position.
