It’s basically a 4chan /pol/ meetup disguised as a political party.

I’m sure that people only share the articles that are worth reading from conservative home but I’ve read a couple this year that are quite good like this one.

I didn’t think that the Tory wipeout, where they become the third largest party, was likely to happen. Pollsters never seem to have been able to solve the shy Tory effect.

However, seeing Reform implode like this is making me more certain that the Torys will still be the official opposition. Rishi will also benefit from the sympathy factor from being the direct target of the abuse. He also gets to look more statesmanlike when condemning gutter politics from Reform.

Agree that the actual monster designs looked dull. Funnily enough in a “new pokemon” kind of way. Other monster collecting games like SMT and Digimon seem to manage to produce more interesting monsters/pals/demons.

Milky bars are on me, lads

I’d enjoy that scenario as a Lib Dem member

Have they ever got the physics right on a SMB game when releasing on a non-gamecube platform?

No problem! They can just get Tony Sewell to write the next report

They probably can do this due to the ludicrous amount of people who work for the government here. I saw a stat the other day that said 1/3 working people in Edinburgh work for the government in some capacity.

I think what has been enlightening about this election is seeing how many ‘own goals’ the Reform party are scoring now that they’ve been given enough rope to hang themselves with. It reminds me of when they let Nick Griffon on Question Time back in 2009/10 and he absolutely withered under scrutiny.

Yes, there will be a hardcore of people who are going to vote for Reform - maybe even because of gaffes like this. However this is repellent to the wider electorate. Imagine if they were semi-competent and just ran as populist Tories without letting the mask slip immediately. Personally, I’d be much more concerned.

Extinction Rebellion would be the famous example of a group that has publically distanced themselves from JSO’s methods. They believe in protest but simultaneously are wary of alienating people by taking their stunts too far.

Actually I had a friend from uni who was in XR and he helped organise a protest at Canning Town tube station where they clambered ontop of the train in rush hour to try to stop it. He was saying later that he thought they probably made a bad call picking that specific part of the city.

It’s a dumb copypasta

I disagree with their evaluation of the magnitude of climate change catastrophe affecting our lives. There isn’t going to be a Day After Tomorrow “extinction event”. Instead climate change is more insidious and will initially affect people who do not live in the West (as it is already doing). We are going to have global crises due to climate change but it’s not going to be on the same level as, say, a Mutually Assured Destruction scenario with nuclear weapons.

They have also failed to convince the majority of the rest of the public that it will be an ‘extinction event’. Since democracy has not got the result they want they are pursuing anti-democratic means of forcing their agenda onto news segments with stunts that poison the well for other - less extreme - climate change activists.

This group undermine and delegitimise other climate activist groups by association

This will be terrible but I’ll watch it. The story in the games is soap opera tier but somehow it works as part of the full package.

The level requirement is offputting! I’ll need to progress another 50+ levels in the base game to be able to play this DLC. Maybe this is a sign that I ought to finish the main game (or at least get much closer to the end) before jumping on the hype train and grabbing this DLC!

I do think people forget the authoritarian impulses of New Labour. There were a lot of “mumsnet” policies in the mid-2000s which I personally found offputting.

That said, the reality of our first past the post system is that the electorate need to choose a least bad option; which seems to be Labour in this case.
