All in all, FPTP is rubbish.

Looking at theinxividual vote is interesting. No party had an overall majority of the vote, nothing new there.. The Lib Dems probably got the most screwed over by FPTP, again nothing new. The Brexit Party got 600k+ votes, more than several other parties with seats (though all regional...

I'm not convinced just how much sway the old ptrss have anymore honestly.

I gor mine done for free a few months ago and mine was a launch model. I mentioned that other regions were fixingdrift for free and that seemed to be enough. They didn't question me further, they took it in, never sent me a bill and a few days later got the notification that it was fixed and...

For everyone who made the economic arguments for Brexit, I hope they end up right, for the dake of making all this hassle and all the transitional difficulties actually worth it. One thing's for sure, we're about to lose free movrmeny around the continent with only the Republic of Ireland left...

Nationalists to the left of us, Conservatives to the right of us... Into the valley of death etc...

So Conservatives and Nationalists are the ones making all the gains tonight. I need a strong drink...

The key 'battlegrounds' are looking to be Scotland, the Midlands and thd South. Polling would suggest the Conservatives are doing a lot better in those places than many expected. Depends how reliable you think they are but still, those are good places to watch. I'm in the south but somehow...

I don't know if I'd risk the blackouts though! Don't get me wrong, I'm all for nationalising the trains, an industry that's inherently anti-competitiv,e but I'm not convinced about utilities, especially power. Broadband? I'm really not sure. Would have need to look into if its worked out well...

Personally I do think a Universal Basic income that the Greens propose is worth a try. Heck, just bringing an end to places as miserable as Jobcentres is worth it in and of itself! Though sadly, there'a a certain unrelated 'bigger picture' philosophical disagreement on a certain issue. A pity...

The best stuff IMO post-original series is direct-to-cideo 'Scooby-Doo on Zombie I'and' and the 'Mystery Incorporated' series rrom a few tears ago. Primarily because, like the original, they remember to alkow it to be have moments of genuine creepiness, atmosphere and a willingness to be a bit...

My thoughts: - The stunt casting irks me. frank Welker has always voiced Fred. They're letting him voice Scooby but not the character he originated. - it does look like something refreshing for the franchise, from animation to the writing etc which does intrigue me. - I hope the...

Even if it comes from naivete and ignorance on the part of the leadership, what some of their members (including some on the inner circles) have been doing, i don't feel they've handled it sufficiently and it still makes me uncomfortable.

While its not in there policies as a political party, it does appear to be floating around the membership surrounding Corbyn who, at worst, believes such things too or at best has been ignorant of some of the things going on or the troubling nature of incidents he gave a thumbs up to. The most...

I'm likely voting Liberal Democrat for the first time since 2010. Yes, I did feel burned by how much they conceded in the coalition but enough time has passed with enough of the hierarchy changed. True be told, I'm actually more comfortable with Labour's proposal of a second referendum as...

Well we're going to tbe polls again! I'd laugh if we just got a Conservative-led hung parliament again.

January cannot come soon enough!

Joker An intense and provoking film that sucks you into this particularly dark and dingy Gotham City. Joaquin Phoenix is as good as you've been hearing (and he's in like 98% of the scenes)and gracefully transitions from maybe the a sad and dejected soul to an unhinged, confident and enigmatic...

It was at its strongest when it stuck to politics. Later series focused more on general pop culture which never worked as well. Looking forward to it:

Interesting, not something I've seen hrought up in the discourse but that wouldn't be shocking, people have alteady drawn their battle lines and narratives. I do want to read this book, I listened to the audio book of 'DisneyWar' that covered Michael Eisner's years at Disney and it was pretty...
