Even opening up a poll on X to see what his users think about the idea...

Presumably the other headline that read '50% of voters' were in favour of this party, should have read '50% of X users who voted in the poll (a potentially large proportion of which were bots owned and controlled ultimately by Elon Musk) were in favour of this party'

  1. US (and in fact all 'Western') media is as bent as anything in the former Soviet Union.

  2. America certainly is in the hypernormalisation phase. I'm not sure how far behind the UK (and other Western nations media) is because I really don't engage in the media here. But any Murdoch owned media (like Fox in the US) is at the very least poisonous to open and fair democracy, and egalitarian society.

An office-friendly version of this would greatly improve my well-being so productivity at work.

I’ll build my own cooling and temperature monitoring system

I bunged mine in the fridge, just drill a hole out of the side for the cables then use rubber sealant.

Yes let's see. I expect the media - billionaire owned on one hand, bbc on the other - will do the kind of job on him they did when he was leader of the labour party. He will become mired in claims of antisemitism (whatever that means these days), and whatever else they can throw at him and it won't go anywhere.

Capital drives the UK and capital does not want socialism. The media is in significant part crowd control.

It has been red tory v. blue tory since Blair took leadership in '93/'94.

It is more of less the same as the US (where it was red v blue republicans for a few decades and is now Republicans calling themselves 'Democrats' v. Christian Nationalist Fascists).

It is the natural continuation of Reaganite/Thatcherite neo-liberal capitalist ideology.

The outcome for the UK will be a lurch right as the poor vote for parties (Reform) who have used the immigration that has caused serious legitimate problems for poor communities that simply can't afford to support them, and other cultural issues of various import they have been coerced into finding important, as wedge issues.

Edit - obviously this lurch to the right is the opposite of what should happen but here we go. It is what fossil-fuel powered capitalists prefer to socialism and an egalitarian society any day.

All of the references you have ascribed to me are wrong.

I have not stated that I am pro or anti anything.

When presented with a fact that doesn't match the reality that an individual has (co-)constructed they have to reject the fact, because they can't reject reality. When they can't reject the fact the change it - as you have here. When they can't do that they diminish the fact by attacking the individual; (again, as you have here, by insinuating that I am 'kinda sus').

Other than that, whatever. Forewarned is forearmed but of course feel free to ignore — it doesn't affect me either way. Good luck.
