Pretty sure its in the deal as a trap. IE if any other data exists and he dosent destroy it. If it comes out his plea deal is invalid and he can be arrested and tried.

Yep. But honestly the Tories are skilled at this shit. Labours lead has way more to do with hatred of the Tories. Then hope/love for labours offering. While the polls still have a large number of undecided responses.
The Tories know full well they only need dislike for labour or stammer to at the least leave labour with a weak majority maybe even change to a coalition government.
And while ill say the Tories are worse off for partners in the event that a coalition is needed. A Labour Lib Dem or less likely Labour SNP gov is not going to be hugely popular.
While the Tories turning things around with some last min bacon sandwich like crap is very doable. Fighting for a weak gov where they can take advantage on Labours infighting is likely the path they see ahead.
spinning the take that this is a vote against the Tories not a vote for Labour
far from a false claim.
Agreed. But its not about starmer being good. Its about being less bad then the Tories.
FPTP is an utter fuck over of an electoral system. That leaves very few places where voting 3rd party or even not voting is not a vote for Tory rule.
Its unpleasant but a simple fact that evil is quantifiable. When your choice is limited via the voting system. Refusing to vote for the lesser of 2 evils basically means you support goes to the greater.
I’m just doing it with more frustration than ever before
Pretty sure that represents the labour lead atm. Def folks wanting to vote against tories rather then for labour. Unfortunately it also leave the Tories with an open attack vector. They just need to time the right attack to dramatically split the left vote in Lab seats where they are still 2nd.
They also tend to assume anyone with lower language skills are stupid.
Because they lack the ability to adapt to more varied information gathering methods.
It is one I respect. The written English language is so filled with contradictions keeping track is impressive.
But judging people for not doing so. Is a bit like me as a Retired Software engineer judging folks who fail to understand C++ etc. It says more about my inability to recognise peoples use then the person I am judging.
That is the definition of under estimation. Any theory can be wrong. But when you compare the cost of being prepared. Vs the cost of another 5 years of Tory rule. Its rather daft to ignore the money being there. Especially when you consider previous election manipulations the Tories and their right wing media supporters have managed.
Why are you still trying to link the two people still now.
Because that is where the Tories are likely spending some money. They keep bringing up the he supported Corbyn. They and the right wing of labour spent in the last election to destroy his reputation. So the Tory party sees it as a cheap attack to push the idea over social media.
I am a little disappointed that it is not answered with, how Rishi was willing to support a PM candidate with a racist publications in the media and later willing to lie to parliament to prevent their ability to shut down his policies.
Agreed. My grammar is bad. I am always happy when folks politely point out errors. Or ask to clarify things it confuses.
But I am also visually impaired. So situations like this where every obvious typo is pointed out. I judge as being someone looking to reinforce their own feeling of lacking intelligence.
Also, when you consider intelligence is a measure of a minds ability to adapt. Failing to interpret based on small errors in spelling etc. Is far from an indication of higher intelligence.
Dysgraphia and Dyslexia are related to a failure within a certain section of the brain. Intelligence relates to the minds ability to take information from one domain of knowledge and apply it to others. IE the brains ability to adapt to new situations.
Language skills are a useful tool. Not a requirement for intelligence.
yeah when a visually impaired person types on a tablet errors happen. I am now at my larger PC Monitor and planning to fix.
But remember. Grammar and spelling do not relate to the value of an opinion. They are not related to intelligence but judging folks for it is.
that mostly are non-practicing
Just to be clear. Practising was not a consideration to the NAZI ideals. And is in no way relevant to any of these events.
lol yeah sorta guessed from context. Hence the vague timeing to watch. Free now but def not in the mood for anything like that.
Thanks for the warning though.
I just kept being reminded of that Antonio Banderas movie the skin I live in. Which is extremely similar to this article if you haven’t heard of it.
I had not. May look for it over the next few days.
Also, that isn’t the case for this show, where it isn’t the bigot who is the butt of the joke, but those calling him out.
I am curios what I have missed that indicates that. As I have not seen a script and cannot imagine the writers openly saying so.
There is no doubt folks in the 70s. Even those with the right intent made mistakes. And did what folks now would consider stupid. And I have no reason to assume the writers of this are not also making such mistakes.
But I have seen nothing that talks about the intent or plans of this show beyond it being about a news presenter getting cancelled. It really sounds like you think adressing the negativity of the anti woke crowd is impossible. While at the same time making some non evidenced rather nasty accusations about the writer of a show you haven’t seen?
I can only guess.
And I really do not know much about India.
But I have heard that their is a huge amount of shame connected to trans behaviors. To the point that I once saw a video where the government hired trans women to embarrassed people into paying taxes. This was at some time in the 90s so drag wa she term used. But it was basically hiring men dressed as women to spend time hanging around the business locations of people failing to pay their taxes.
Honestly if this is how it can be seen in the nation. I can very much see a family wanting to claim a member was tricked rather then chose the option.
Very like we used to see wealthy families refusing to admit thoer darters got pregnant. Back in the 40s many young teen women were placed in mental institutions when they got pregnant. Later on we saw mothers claiming the dauter belonged to them rather then an unmarried teen daughter.
I can see the motivation being similar.
A lot to assume fropm the description.
It may well be done in the way Alf Garnet was back in the 1970s.
As many here will be way to young to remember the character. He was the main character of a show called “Till Death Us Do Part” He and his wife were an old married couple. And required home help (government funded care coming in daily to help with keeping the house tidy etc).
The show was famous for the racist crap alf would sprout. Often to his Black home help worker. But in general he was expressing some of the worst 1930s ideals in a 1970s environment.
The best way to describe the ideal and general way most Brits understood it. Is to share the view Warren Mitchell the actor who played alf described it in an interview.
He was asked about the portraial of the character. To paraphrase his reply.
I was once approached by a guy on the street. Who told me he was a fan and loved the way Alf took the piss out of the “Darkies”. To this he responded. You idiot. It is **** like you we are taking the piss out of.
While if that event actually happened (who knows) it was clear that guy was not effected by the piss taking. As he did not even recognise it.
As a young man (early teens when that interview happened) who grew up with the show. It was very clear to everyone else that we were laughing at the character not with him. The show always managed to portray his views as either idiotic or just pathetic. He was seen as a scared old man worried about losing his power in society. Even by a 1970s audience at a time when most were way less informed about things then now.
Ill def agree such an attempt now would be difficult to pull off in the same way. And was likely less effective then the writers hoped in the 70s.
Id defiantly be interested to see if it can be done effectively with a modern audience.
Not disagreeing. More devils advocate.
But are you basically saying if your home is attacked by another nation. One much larger and using draft to fill the ranks of attackers.
You are happy to allow your leader to fail to convince people to save your and your family/childrens lives.
Because at the end of it. That is why many folks support draft for a nation under attack.
I personally always think it is best as a last resort. Trained full time pros are genrally better at the job. But in an attack like this the amount of work needed to build and manage defences needs a huge labour force. Even modern tech warfare needs huge labour.
It is the idea that everyone needs the actions of these people to survive. That makes the vast majority express views like Ops original comment.
