Intersectionality is great and all that, but the message is more important than the person delivering it. Sometimes an old, white man is what we need. Jezza and my boy Bernie being prime examples. Just watch the libs in America hand the election to Trump by going for someone like Mayo Pete because the fact that he's under 45 and gay outweighs the fact that he is a closet Republican who'll bomb civilians for oil with reckless abandon.

I want to die. I'm almost not joking.

Nope, they are the traits of the Labour party - now a mix of hard-core marxists and virtue-signalling intersectionalist liberals. The days of the pale, male and stale are over my friend, the left need a minority or woman to lead them to the promised land.

I think you need to go and find your safe space.

But if you could pick me up a sarnie on the way that would be great. ;)

Current traits, they may be, I'm not a party member because they don't really stand for election in the weird post-apocalyptic hellscape that is Northern Ireland, but that is kind of, like, the opposite of what 'roots' are. I don't speak for the entire left, of course, but I can say that I don't want liberals on my team. I can work with the Marxists and anarchists but the libs can **** off to the right where they belong, and where they can finally take their masks off.

Identity politics is the territory of social democrats, my strangely magnanimous chum, the left doesn't need a woman to deliver their message, we just don't happen to have an issue if the best candidate for the job just happens to also be a woman. Idpol has ruined the left because of the incursions of the succdems, but we can get past it. All the left wants is true equality. And possibly to bring out the guillotine once in a while. In Age of Empires, of course.

Death is the only true safe space, my man.

Ah, see this is why you're being so nice to me. But OK, in the strange fantasy that I might be able to make an anarchist out of you yet, I will bring you one. But I will warn you, after reading about Klopp's contract extension, everything I touch today <snip>.

I think the definition of "true equality" is where the rubber hits the road.

Surely anarchists would be pro-brexit, not just the neolib status quo?

I assume the Klopp thing is something to do with soccer?

I have already said in one of the 6,432,455,661,999 Brexit related threads in TIO that I'm no fan of the EU as a neoliberal experiment and would have supported a Brexit if we were leaving as a quasi-socialist country but still retaining the kind of connections that Norway or Switzerland have with the EU. I'm not pro remain because I like liberalism, I just thought that at the current time, staying in would have been better. I certainly don't like the idea of Britain leaving the EU to become some kind of crypto-fascist hellworld under yet another Eton twat's ineptitude, but alas here we are.

No shit. Not even you are that out of touch though.

I guess you're admitting that the UK will never have a socialist government, if you were confident we would then leaving followed by socialism would hit your nirvana.

I only heard of Klopp a few weeks ago as some of the builders seem to follow the sport.

I meant with respect to Schengen, not domestic policy. Should have been clearer. Is Iceland a better example? I love Iceland, any country that puts bankers in jail is OK by me.

The UK has already had socialist governments, what the hell are you banging on about?

Leaving with Tories in power wasn't worth the gamble that socialism would follow down the road. I would support leaving if we had already had a socialist PM at the time, don't put words in my mouth. But as it is, Boris says he can get Brexit done so as he's never ever told a lie before in his entire life, I guess that is that, right?

You really are a true man of the people.

Whether the Tories can keep them is a different matter, but I suspect Lansman and Momentum can put up another dud for the next election.

Since Corbyn won his first leadership election, there have effectively been 2 Labour Parties fighting each other. On one side, Labour's traditional voters and MPs who are mostly slightly left-of-centre. On the other side, New Labour Blairites on the right-of-centre who believe copying Tory policies are the only way to become electable again. And Corbyn was firmly within the first group.

The UK media may be persuaded in parts to give the benefit of the doubt to a Blairite Labour, especially once the UK has left the EU, and if the Tories continue their far-right stance. The Lib-Dems are effectively the Remain arm of the Tory Party, and are only the 4th biggest party in Westminster, with little influence now the Tories have a large majority.

I can't help thinking that the remainers in Parliament overplayed their hand. They have now lost any ability to control what will happen for the next Parliament, insofar as Brexit is concerned. One wonders if they are regretting their attempts to frustrate the process in the way that they did. Surely, it would have been better to be part of the process, than on the outside?

I was a bit undecided about my vote direction this coming Thursday.

I've obviously taken into consideration what I consider to be the following swaying points on the two main parties.

On the one hand the Conservative Boris Johnson is a bit of a rascal with the ladies and can sometimes bend the truth a bit, heâ€™s also a bit posh.

And on the other hand..

**** you for hiding a link to the S*n behind a google search. No way that's a reputable source, by the way.
