How do we get them to spend more time infighting and splintering into smaller and smaller factions, instead of merging back into one big mega far-right group?
I reckon there's more nuance here. The quote I've seen from him on a BBC article seems pretty reasonable:
"So what I'm arguing for is a pause while the other options are considered, because of course we need the infrastructure; it's a matter of doing it in the right way that has a long-term benefit."
He seems happy about the offshore wind farm plans, he supposedly proposed several alternatives to the pylon positioning "including the idea of an offshore grid."
I think considering they're an 184km stretch of pylons, he's not wholly unreasonable to ask for more consideration and conversation about it being done in a way that minimises harm to the environment and the communities affected.
Edit: Had a longer look through other comments and now realise that environmental consultation was already thoroughly completed. Which means Ramsey's request for consultation has already been met, so he shouldn't be able to prevent anything because (fingers crossed) it'll all be environmentally sound anyways?
It's upsetting that people vote for people they don't know anything about. I read up on all the options and met 2 of the people who stood as MPs in my area. The reform candidate in my area just wrote their favourite biscuit in the personal statement section and basically nothing else.
I love that, by his own analogy, he has implied that Tory voters are either rats or children. Hating the image of Nigel playing a flute (or a pipe, I guess?) either way
There must be a joke somewhere about them identifying as "politically homeless" whilst encouraging transphobic ideals so far that they'll vote Reform. Completely bizarre
Freedom of speech is protection from legal restrictions, not protection from criticism from David Tennant
I am aware you already have a good profile picture now! but you may as well have these squid offerings since i made em :)
It's the worst thing I've seen all day but it's not worse than the human brain organoid computer from a few weeks ago
No need to apologise, I agree :)
I'm also in a labour safe seat, and grateful I can vote my conscience, I'm just sad other people aren't so fortunate. Labour are saying some tiring stuff now to win over the Conservative voter base: it's the one time where I hope that politicians lie. Let's hope that Labour uses their win for good things, as they've promised in previous years.
May we all get to vote for more positive things within the next decade π
Some of Labour's recent policies (and stances on Palestine, trans people, etc) are scary and harmful. It's emotionally hard having to vote for a party that has spoken about removing your rights.
Pragmatically though: I know voting Labour will still shift things towards being better, even if that "better" is way worse than I wanted, and I would never begrudge anyone for voting for them. There's always more we can do in-between elections anyway
gravy and cheese is a classic, I'm more concerned about the curry and cheese combo
(obv paneer masala is spectacular but British takeaway curry + mature cheddar? cursed)
