PSOE (Blairites) refuse to form coalition with Podemos (lefties) because Podemos want 3 ministries. So new elections. PSOE take a hard line on Catalonia during the campaign contributing to a nationalist frenzy. Today's election looks to have resulted in the right block winning with a potential coalition between PP (Francoists pretending they aren't) and Vox outright fascists. Vox have doubled their seats but not enough for a Right bloc majority. After 83% counted: P.S. The new elections were due to the Catalan Independence parties refusing to pass the budget .

pandarilla Posted November 21, 2019 Share Posted November 21, 2019 Why do they keep doing thisMSPs invite academic who brands trans women ‘parasites’ to speak on Transgender Day of Remembrance https://t.co/PINrge2mgE— PinkNews (@PinkNews) November 20, 2019 I'm not entirely convinced about the outrage here. First of all, the date is hardly widely recognised, and I can't blame anyone for not knowing about it. If they're deliberately trying to enflame something, why would they cancel the event when the clash of dates was pointed out?Secondly, it makes me uncomfortable that transgender activists seem to be running away from the debate. Surely you make your arguments better than your opponents, and win the debate convincingly. They seem to just want certain voices and opinions shut down. I understand that there's a bit of a personal history to this in Scottish politics recently but I think the hatred and faux outrage is incredibly unhelpful. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pandarilla Posted November 21, 2019 Share Posted November 21, 2019 If it's very important to someone that society accepts them as the gender they feel, then I don't really see what's to be gained mental health wise from debating this with someone who thinks society shouldn't accept that. I thought this was actually a 2nd event on another incendiary date but I was mistaken.I don't think I have an issue with it either but it seems quite a few academics and feminist writers do - and I don't think they should be automatically silenced. Put someone up and win the argument. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Detournement Posted November 23, 2019 Share Posted November 23, 2019 Quote The Jubillee Debt Campaign has written a briefing entitled 10 key facts about UK debt. They are worth sharing. Ten key facts everyone should know before discussing debt issues in the UK: 1. A quarter of UK government debt is owed to the UK government itself 2. Three-quarters of UK government debt is owed to people and institutions in the UK 3. Of G7 economies, only Germany has a lower government debt (as a proportion of GDP) than the UK 4. The UK government can currently borrow at the cheapest interest rates in its history 5. The UK government is paying virtually the lowest amount of interest on its debt in recorded history, as a proportion of GDP 6. UK government tax revenue (as a proportion of GDP) is the third lowest of G7 countries, and well behind other European countries 7. The debt of the UK’s private sector is more than four times as big as that of the government 8. Unsecured personal debt in the UK is rising rapidly 9. The UK economy has the largest deficit with the rest of the world of any rich country 10. The UK’s finance sector is the most exposed to a crisis of any G7 economy 10 points about UK government. People who worry about government debts are idiots. Government borrowing rates are never going back up. Corporate and personal debt is the huge problem in the UK and beyond and can only be solved by increase government spending. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
