Jackthelad,

Grayson and the Argonauts is a great name.

Sounding good too!

Jackthelad,

Anyone who needs to sit a course on how not to be a racist shouldn’t be holding public office.

Jackthelad,

The only reason Elphicke’s defection was accepted was because it further damaged the government, and she’s not standing in this election so it was an easy win for Labour.

Jackthelad,

Not according to the opinion polls. The only people who might take issue are political nerds, the majority of the electorate just saw “Tory defects to Labour” and that’s all that matters.

Jackthelad,

No, of course not. She just thinks that Jewish people don’t experience racism. Which is, at best, completely ignorant.

Jackthelad,

Well, this blows the “if you’ve not done anything wrong, you have nothing to worry about” argument out of the water.

Jackthelad,

It’s literally the only voter base they have left now. These policies are just to ensure they keep some votes intact.

But they’re not even attempting to appeal to anyone under the age of 60.

Should I permanently leave Israel?

I’m not sure if this is the right community for this question, but it says “no stupid question” so here goes. I’m an Israeli who now lives in the US, but I am considering permanently residing in the US or elsewhere (perhaps somewhere in Europe or Canada) because I’ve become kinda disillusioned with Israel for a variety...

Jackthelad,

Yeah, this isn’t something that any of us can decide for you. And any views will be clouded by how people think on the Israel-Hamas conflict.

Jackthelad,

To be fair, the current Israeli government has far-right members in it, so a centrist would look far-left in comparison!

Jackthelad, (edited )

This is just a ridiculous throwaway policy designed to appeal to easily enraged pensioners and keep them voting Conservative.

Those are basically the only voters the Conservatives have left.

Jackthelad,

Well, some of them definitely are.

Just ask that teacher in Batley.

Jackthelad,

The best argument against national service?

The armed forces, whom it would affect, absolutely hate it.

Jackthelad,

Swap “armed forces” with “fire service”, “NHS” or “the police”, and the point is exactly the same.

Jackthelad,

Could you set something up in Superbru?

That’s my go-to for any prediction games.

Jackthelad,

Yeah, it’s easy to set up a pool for people to join. And there’s a smartphone app for it too, which makes it easier to play.

Jackthelad,

If this voice actor’s voice has been digitally altered to make her sound more like Scarlett Johansson, then she has a point.

If they’ve just hired someone who happens to sound a bit like her, then there is no case. That voice actor has the right to use her own voice.

Jackthelad,

Why would I want to disgrace myself by volunteering for a political party?

Jackthelad,

I mean, “better government” remains to be seen.

These are politicians we’re talking about.

Jackthelad,

Are you familiar with the Post Office scandal, or maybe the infected blood one instead?

Because both of those things happened under Labour and Conservative governments, and neither has done anything about it. The idea that somehow one side is inherently better than the other is pure copium.

People don’t really care much for Labour. They just don’t want the Conservatives anymore. That’s not a recipe for amazing success in government.

Jackthelad,

But a top barrister representing medics in a similar case warned it would be difficult for teachers to prove they caught coronavirus in the classroom.

Indeed. I’ve had COVID twice. Fuck knows who and where I caught it from.

Jackthelad,

Socialists Penny Wrout, Fliss Premru and Claudia Turbet-Delof held a press conference outside the east London borough’s town hall.

Imagine being this self-important.

Jackthelad,

I got lucky in a sad way recently with discovering a song I’d had stuck in my head.

It was “Peter Gunn” by Duane Eddy, and I finally got the name of the song but only because of the news of his death.

Jackthelad,

There was literally a Green councillor who started chanting “Allahu Akbar” after his election.

What does that have to do with talking about Israel-Palestine?

Jackthelad,

Perhaps I’m old-fashioned, but I’m of the view that if you can’t afford to have kids, you probably shouldn’t have kids.

Jackthelad,

If you fall on hard times, that’s perfectly understandable. But there’s a lot of people out there who have kids knowing full well that they can’t afford them. Some of which aren’t even in work.

That’s completely irresponsible and an awful thing for the child to have to live with.
