But 2017 saw the biggest labour swing since 1945, which is way more than Blair managed. That's very electable.
Not sure how you can diminish the newspaper influence either, it's pretty well documented. If you talk to the average person they don't know the policies at all.
Corbyn was never electable outside of North London and a handful of university campuses.
I can't agree with this. He was vastly popular in a lot of areas, I'm very much not a londoner and well out of university and heard a lot of support.
The thing to realise I believe, is that most voters are easily swayed and not vastly invested. That leads to an environment where whoever the tabloids like gets in regardless. Tabloids are mostly run by very rich people who are never going to support wealth taxes, closing of loopholes, restraints on business, etc.
If the Sun, Mirror and Daily Mail put out a front page tomorrow saying they were supporting the green party then they'd get in.
This really seems the obvious answer
Oh no, absolutely, it's a flying visit for sure. I enjoyed my cruise experience because we went to a bunch of places I'd probably never go by myself, I got a snapshot experience of a bunch of coastal towns.
I worked on a Royal Carribean ship once. It was cool, I worked late so got off every day at dock and got public transport to the nearest town then had a walk round or visited a small free museum then I had a nice meal and a beer before going back to work.
For the ship I was on it mostly stayed in port for the full day, return times were like 4 or 5, for me getting off is important, but for many people on the ship (which it sounds like this guy hung around with) the ship IS the destination and they spend all day in the pool, in the restaurants, it sounded mind numbing to me! I think those people are quite culty, a lot of them are on their 100th+ cruise and if you do talk to them they only really talk about cruises. We were docked at a port next to another Royal ship once and this couple were telling me that they were on that one the week after for a full atlantic cruise which doesn't dock at all, then onto the carribean after, I have no idea if they had a home.
I will say though, American cruisers are a different breed to European, they wear customised shirts and decorate their doors, we don't do that here, or didn't when I was there.
Haha, not for me but for many people yes.
The general plan on a cruise is that the ship docks fairly early and you get off to do the culture and food things, then you have a time to be back, so really you're only on the ship for evenings and sleeping. You do get occasional 'at sea' days where you don't dock, but it's unusual for that to be a decent proportion of your trip.
If it was me I'd prefer the best photo from my life.
Some feelings come from prejudice. It's not saying that those feelings don't exist but they need to be looked at.
If you are upset at people having perfectly normal reactions to dangers in their environment then you need to look at those feelings and work on putting yourself in other peoples shoes.
I don't think you read it. He is suggesting that women reacting to actual real danger is damaging to him. If he understood then it wouldn't be hurtful.
Do you get upset when a strange child is scared of you? Of course not, because you understand that new people are scary to children.
It's hilarious that you started this by saying you're 'trying to be part of the solution' but are then pretending you don't understand the issue at all.
If you want to be part of the solution then start by educating yourself.
You realise someone always loses right? Losing an election doesn't make someone unelectable.
I can see you support Blair and as a result Starmers copycat act, but there's many times in the past where a left wing party has been in power in the UK and many countries where the left wing are in power now. You don't HAVE to be moving to the right to get in power.
