I feel sorry for the girl. Nobody should be in a position where they have those feelings. However, her having those feelings doesn't in any way turn some of the unsubstantiated allegations and claims she makes into proven statements of fact. I still require proof. As I would for all allegations. 

She was a participant in the documentary.  She’s given evidence to to the EHRC if I remember correctly.

One of my best mates has been going through similar sorts of mental problems recently. Part of it is that he was taking the worst possible interpretation of some fairly matter-of-fact stuff that some people were saying and he was feeling threatened as a result. 

 

Like you say, I'd want to see proof.

Did you watch the documentary?

I was sorting through some car parts at my mates workshop while the rugby was on and didn't watch it. 

 

Does this mean I'm now an enemy of the people?

Separate conversation, but a paranoia I have of any trade deal with the US. Trump has been saying for years he wants the prices other countries pay for medications brought in line with the States, and I read a comment attributed to Johnson recently saying our NHS wouldn’t become an insurance-based service like theirs, but pharmaceuticals could theoretically be on the table in negotiations. Seen nowt more than that, but I just have a sense of dread they may agree to more comparable pricing and the cost of meds to the NHS could even increase, with inevitable knock-on effects. It strikes me as exactly the sort of mealy-mouthed thing that shaved honey monster in a shit suit-looking cunt would do while claiming to have preserved the sanctity of our health service. 

Just seen a trailer for an episode of Despatches on this very topic.

 

Appears, to my complete shock and surprise, this is absolutely the angle.

Aye, I think it’s on at 8 tonight.

It’s been blindingly obvious this was on the cards as you said a long time ago mate.

It’s making me equally cynical about the timing of the Vertex deal for CF drugs.

 

A very significant PR buff-up for this government and US drug companies at an absolutely critical time for public opinion. 
 

It’s life-changing, it’s miraculous, in terms of the breakthrough and what it offers and means. I couldn’t be more grateful for what it is and what it does.
 

Just been nagging at me from pretty much the day it was announced that there’s more to it than meets the eye.

 

Potentially the drugs version of buy-your-own-council house, in terms of motive.

Saw a snippet of that. Genuinely terrifying

“...he said he’d die in a ditch - another broken promise” was a fantastic line, even his greatest critics have to admit. Was pissing myself at that

The right are frothing at the mouth over it on Twitter. Very funny to watch.

Margie Hodge re-selected. Disappointing.

Nope.

 

I saw who made it and I read a few reviews pointing out that it contained nothing new - just the usual tired old unsubstantiated and already-debunked bullshit - and I decided that there are a lot of better ways to spend an hour.

 

(If anyone comes up with something new or credible, obviously I'd be interested in that.)

Yes it is but it's a bit of a weird one in that I believe it was an internal coup from her right / centrist mates as she has gone back on a promise to not stand in any more elections after 2017 , and there is not much of a left-wing faction in the branch.

A month or two ago you said JC would win a GE comfortably - is Labour getting out politicated?

[sir roger]

I think Corbyn has been and remains up for an election but others who may be worried over their seats are not so keen , which I suppose you can understand to an extent.

Mann & Hodge in one day would probably be asking too much even with an amenable deity.

I didn’t realise he worked for the sun until after the fact. I wouldn’t have watched it otherwise.

I don't think I ever said he'd win comfortably. (I try to swerve predictions: I prefer forecasts.)

 

I still think Labour can win an election (but there is too much at stake for anything to be comfortable) and I still think our best electoral asset is Jeremy Corbyn in campaigning mode.

 

As for being "out-politicated" it looks like the Leader of the Opposition has more influence over what happens in Parliament and the timing of a General Election than the Prime Minister himself.  Not bad for someone who we are told is "not a leader".

He worked for the Sun for a short period about 30 yrs ago.

Labour won't win an election with Brexit up in the air. A lot of ardent remainers will gravitate towards the Libs because of their solid remain stance. The tories will vote tory.

I don't think it's that simple. Many Brexit loons will move to the Brexit Party because Johnson hasn't fulfilled his promise of leaving on Oct 31. Lots of people on the left and/or remainers will vote tactically.

 

And hopefully it's a really cold winter.
