If only we hadn’t voted to leave in the first place! But better late than never?

Interesting that The Canary is now publishing this type of nonsense about the Greens. I always suspected they were more committed to ragebait than to any specific politics. This is evidence in favour of that thesis.

Thanks for sharing. Unfortunately, it’s typical of many of the users of this sub to shoot the messenger when it comes to stories like this (while of course upvoting everything from Novara and the Canary, which are actually illegitimate news sources).

This is a legit news story from a fairly poor newspaper that does still do some real journalism, but it’s probably best to (as you did later on) share the original content or reporting on it from a more generally reliable source just to avoid the typical responses.

Supposedly this is also the reason that most 2D platforming videogames scroll left-to-right.

Why?

There were undoubtedly some Leavers who voted Labour, but the idea that it was Labour’s ‘core’ or ‘traditional’ voters turning against them is largely untrue. The more working class or blue collar Leavers were mostly people who rarely/never voted consistently at all, or they were blue collar Conservatives, who have always made up a significant chunk of the working class but never really voted Labour.

So, they sort of ‘look like’ a concept of traditional Labour voters, but the actual people were not Labour voters. Ironically, the actual Labour Leavers looked a lot more like Jeremy Corbyn: the old-school, often middle-class Bennites!

Did they finally realise that not only will Leavers never vote for them in the future, but that they never actually did in the past?

While the chance of a shift in policy is low-ish (at least while Starmer is in charge), there is a zero percent chance this will result in Khan being expelled from the Labour party.

The usual conspiratorial thinking from Novara on display, here. Why can’t the supposedly all powerful media manufacture a scandal in the Green party? Simple: it’s just that there legitimately isn’t an antisemitism problem in the Green party and there legitimately was one in the Labour party. We don’t need to tie ourselves in knots to explain this stuff because it’s right in front of us. It’s the same reason the even more wildly biased US media can’t make the antisemitism stuff stick on Sanders or Mamdani: there’s nothing there.

EDIT: People have occasionally asked me why I persist in commenting here even though ‘everyone’ disagrees with me. This is the exact reason: the people downvoting me have no counterarguments beyond swearing, repeating themselves and sending me links to YouTube videos. If I ever found any of that persuasive, it’d be a sign I’d given up independent thought altogether.

Wine works well for me on Manjaro. Once it’s installed and run for the first time, it’s been seamless. I think every now and then you might find a game that requires an additional patch to run.

He seems to have decided to learn absolutely nothing.

Free energy.

Never again will I tie my shoes without suspecting I’m doing it wrong, somehow.

This bad boy.

Things really went downhill when violins stopped wearing little shoes.

I think when they just said ‘Yes, LLMs can steal your work’. That showed they don’t even care about property rights, which is the one thing the right have always pretended was their raison d’être.

I guess well done for not doing that?

Agreed, I’ve also seen and heard a lot of this attitude, going back decades now.

In addition, I think that Islamophobia is very widespread in the UK, including among ethnic minority groups. Both white and non-white Islamophobes see anti-immigrant polices as partly or primarily a way to persecute Muslims and prevent more of them coming to the UK.

I hope this latest downgrade puts to bed the false idea that war is profitable.

I think this is basically the plan! But it does, in the meantime, involve pleasing nearly no one, as Behr says.
