Ain't the size of the dog in the fight boys, it's the size of the fight (and big ****ing contacts) in the dog. Next outrage please. To the point you go on LinkedIn, ask if anyone knows of any available PPE. For delivery or to be picked up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently though, "the inverted red triangle is a symbol used by antifa, so it was included in an ad about antifa", and "we would note that Facebook still has an inverted red triangle emoji in use, which looks exactly the same" so it's purely coincidental according to the White House. Apparently. The bods over at Facebook didn't think so, though: https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-53098439 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jon the Hat Posted 19 June 2020 Share Posted 19 June 2020 19 hours ago, Leicester_Loyal said: A lot of the people saying it's worrying that Rashford 'politically outmanouevered' the Government or whatever they want to call it, would be calling for the Governments head if they had doubled down and refused to offer out the meal vouchers. We'd see the usual cries of 'Tory *****' 'Ivory Towers' etc. I for one am glad they decided to offer out the vouchers and ensure kids don't starve to death. There is an underlying argument here as well though - the parents of these kids are already recieving benefits - so why can they not feed the kids? Either you buy that they are not getting enough, or they are but are wasting it on other things. You quickly come back to the idea that we are effectivley giving food vouchers which removes agency from the parents to manage their benefits.

This, I think, is something the media (BBC) have been skipping around. There is a wider debate to have on this but as usual we're only presented with part of the story.

Will be interesting to see how he does when he actually has to come up with some policies. It's pretty easy to sit on the sidelines in a crisis and throw bricks.

In my humble opinion. I am glad he is standing up and being an actual opposition leader, as I have said many times, our parliament relies on good opposition. I was more making the point that he is in honeymoon period where that is enough. So I wouldn't be too excited about polls at this stage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes and no, I was very anti- Corbyn, and relieved the country saw through him. Starmer is a lot more to my liking, and less likley to be a disaster should he win an election. Not that likley imo as I think Boris would be moved on if the polls were like this heading into a GE. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's just you though there's plenty around the country who liked Corbyn but hate Boris and don't particularly go for Starmer and vice versa. i was just pointing out that, maybe stating the obvious they'll always be an opposite view of a particular politicians skills, competence, affability, successes, failures etc, etc and will be happy to point it out. I wasn't criticising just pointing it out in an apolitical way as in not connected to or in favour of any particular party. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What an escalation of bizarreness this is. Possibly the worst example of child poverty imaginable followed by someone somehow construing this as racist and in the same sentence telling them to ‘go back to Pakistan’.
