I say we go back to discussing how The Guardian is worse than it used to be. Like, fuck them for posting this piece of 'news', I don't want to be made to feel guilty for not exercising as much as I would like to:

I only appear less combative because there is less to be combative about not because I have calmed down. I will never calm down.

"But yeah, it's why I'm pissed Tom had to lose his head because I posted something about Scandinavian politics."

Sure that's all it was, nothing to do with UK politics at all.

What a self-own

This is what I posted btw:

Every country in Scandinavia has a Socialist and a Social Democratic party, btw. And a Green one, and probably a Socially Liberal one. It's great. You can really pinpoint the melts.

Can someone help me figure out how on earth that is supposed to be about anything but Scandinavia? I'm honestly intrigued

Frederik B, Tuesday, 25 February 2020 18:01 (four years ago) link

In a discussion of a Polly Toynbee article about UK politics. Sure, it's just you calmly posting about Scando pol, nothing else xxp

gonna read this as critical support for my endorsement of RLB and plot of a coup against Starmer

Was it really so offensive of Fred to bring in a Scandinavian perspective? I didn't think so.

Le Bateau Ivre, Tuesday, 25 February 2020 18:08 (four years ago) link

It was the Fred perspective that was the problem, not the Scandinavian one.

It's tone deaf to go on about the way wonders of a party system which cannot even begin to be implemented here, with an added assumption this would solve problems.

xyzzzz__, Tuesday, 25 February 2020 18:15 (four years ago) link

That assumption is in your head

Frederik B, Tuesday, 25 February 2020 18:18 (four years ago) link

I was responding to pinefox:

"There should be a socialist and a social democratic party. Trying to contain both has led to historical Labour strife."

This is wrong. What most 'socialists' are trying to achieve in practice is social democracy - eg: on the Scandinavian model that PT used to champion. I am on the far left by most UK standards but would call myself a social democrat. The real problem is that the Labour right, Blairites, et al, are not really keen on social democracy either. So she means 'There should be a social democratic party as well as a socially liberal neo-Thatcherite one'.

I read Fred's post as a casual 'btw this is what it's like in Denmark, comparing political systems is interesting and informative' (which is true). It wasn't a swipe – I don't even think he used the word 'melt' ironically in the follow-up, or just barely.

romanesque architect (pomenitul), Tuesday, 25 February 2020 18:20 (four years ago) link

I'm all for the whole 'don't stoke the fire' thingy, but it's a bit hard when posters just make up shit in their own heads and can't read stuff in context before blowing a fuse. The obvious answer remains permabanning the bully.

Frederik B, Tuesday, 25 February 2020 18:21 (four years ago) link

It’s definitely a weird post to be raging about

Last night I dreamt I watched The Mandalorian (wins), Tuesday, 25 February 2020 18:22 (four years ago) link

The Social Liberal party in Denmark are absolutely melts, and having them in their own party means being able to humiliate them thoroughly every now and then. There was no irony at all. The Green and the Social Democrats are quite melty as well, though they do have their moments every now and then.

could go for a tuna one right about now mmmmm

Had a tuna melt on Sunday and was like why am I not always eating tuna melts

Swilling Ambergris, Esq. (silby), Tuesday, 25 February 2020 18:29 (four years ago) link

Personally I have never used the expression 'melt' in my life, either here or irl. Anyway I assumed Fred was doing his usual, "You lot are all tankies" routine, so maybe I got that wrong. That and the fact that he never seems to show up in UK politics threads to do anything other than provoke a fight.

For the uninitiated:

Is the Guardian worse than it used to be?

I thought we were annoyed about the idiocy of calling posters xenophobic

Tom wrote this in response to my post about Scandinavia:

As usual, Fred, you have no idea what you're talking about, you have no clue about the Labour Party and the Labour movement in the UK - its history, its significance, its importance, so shut the fuck up and go and irritate some Americans instead.

Frederik B, Tuesday, 25 February 2020 19:18 (four years ago) link

I did go off one before that tbf but, yes, that was a neat touch from Fred.

Telling me, a guy from Scandinavia talking about Scandinavia, that I don't know what I'm talking about?

Frederik B, Tuesday, 25 February 2020 19:47 (four years ago) link

Stop playing dumb, Fred, no-one's buying it.

Every country in Scandinavia has a Socialist and a Social Democratic party, btw. And a Green one, and probably a Socially Liberal one. It's great. You can really pinpoint the melts.

Had arguments about Polly Toynbee before, the idea that she's 'on our side' when she's a fake who was quite happy to be involved in an attempt to destroy the Labour movemement before.
