You're gonna need a bigger joke. (That sounds confrontational lol but I couldn't think of a better way to do it.)

Simplest thing is to immediately reverse the exclusionary ID requirement at the polling station. That exactly aligns with exclusionary tactics in the US, for the same reasons.

Yeah the serendipity aspect of just being in a room with a bunch of people is almost impossible to recreate. Things like kumo try to do it for offices and you could extend the principle, but really we need something completely new; and not just social media for scientists as that excludes many.

I'm still forming a reaction to this, but I do wonder if anyone in a studio photo in the 60s had their face fully lit.

Yep media 'balance' and the lack of judgement that it excuses does a lot of the harm.

The brexit referendum nightmare yep. Hard to know how to kill them off without some big changes to media, corporate governance and tbh distribution of resources locally, nationally, regionally and globally. Managing then absent all that is high stakes stuff.

Prompted by his Cabinet appointment, I'm watching James Timpson being interviewed by James O'Brien. What a decent man. What an excellent manager. I have such hope.

This is just straightforwardly fantastic. The house of Lords is weird and as with so many bits of the UK not something anyone would have designed, but then you get something like this.

This is the thing. (In general) the lack of empathy that allows an abuser to abuse also allows them to eschew humility and to tread on others to get ahead. Many systems fail to prevent this.

But I don't think it was anything more than realism given the context.

Don't need the tone tbh. As I said I would have funded it through tax.

As I say I would have done it through tax, not even borrowing, but my point is simply that though they made poor decisions about how to implement it, the goal was to improve our infrastructure. Not for example to head towards private healthcare like the last lot.

Yes it sucked and will be paying for it for a while, but it was shit thing or no thing. Should have done 2p on the higher rate and abolished loopholes to fund it but as I say Murdoch refuses to die.

The ask was for proof of a manifesto pledge. The article linked to evidence. I agree about the likelihood given the past and why people are so quick to assume the worst but that's another thread.

I'm not saying they will I'm saying that in the face of hostile media they found a way to do the right thing which was to invest in infrastructure. Not an ideal solution but we have those schools and hospitals.
