So is the paid version just because I like them and want to give them some money or they're actual feature benefits of the paid version over the free version.

I don't mind paying in theory but they're trying to replace a free product so the "pro" version would have to have significant benefits.

It wasn't just the smear campaign against Corbyn though. He did quite a lot of shooting himself in the foot as well, which really didn't help matters.

But really none of that should matter to Labour, the media are for the most part in the pockets of the right anyway so who cares what they say. Most Labour voters won't read those papers anyway.

What's pissing off a lot of traditional Labour voters is all this fence sitting he is trying to do. People elected a liberal government, so obviously they are going to be expecting some liberal policies, that was what they voted for, that's what they wanted. If they wanted someone to sit on the fence and ruminate about every possible decision the Liberal Democrats are right there. The reason that the Greens didn't get a lot of votes this time around was because people didn't want to split the vote, but if Labour are just going to be Tory Lite (although frankly not that lite) then who cares, we might as well risk it because otherwise we'll end up with a right-wing government either way. It baffles me that no one in Labour HQ can see that.

I honestly think that if labour just fall on lent into it, they would probably get way more votes than they currently do.

I've seen cars with self-closing doors though. Also I'm not sure where the safety consideration would come in since we have self closing building doors right now and no one seems to get cut in half by those.

Why are people leaving the doors open in the first place that's just wild. The super excited to get to work or something I don't get it.

Wouldn't the simplest solution be to just ban people who leave the doors open, it's not that hard to close them.

Labour need to remember that much of their coffers come from the unions. They don't need to be sucking up to the wealthy, that was in fact originally the whole point.

He won't though. I don't know if someone's got something on him or what but he is acting in a way that is entirely detrimental to the party success. The only way labour standard chance at the next election is to get rid of him.

He should have been good and he talked to good game but he's gone back on virtually every single promise in the manifesto, which honestly should be illegal.

Well that was obvious from the start. By all means arrest people who commit crimes but calling those crimes terrorism was insanely stupid.

It wasn't even done any particularly sinister reason, it was just them being dumb. Terrorism charges obviously carries longer prison sentences, but that in no way benefited the government, so there was no reason for them to do that. They just came off looking bad at a time when they really needed their public image to improve. I've said this before but it bears repeating because every time a story like this comes out it makes labour look like the US republicans but they're not. They're just really really really really stupid.

Starmer used to be a human rights lawyer, so I don't understand how he's so bad at his job.

he forgot to say that he keeps all his upper floor windows locked. You've got to cover all your bases.

I don't understand mentality of the post.

if you are two paychecks away from being a millionaire, then you're definitely not remotely close to needing food subsidies.

If I'm two paychecks away from needing food subsidies, then two paychecks from now you are definitely not going to be anywhere close to a millionaire.

And if I am about to become a millionaire then obviously I'm going to defend the millionaire class. I'm about to be one of them.

Personally are you like the idea of having security cameras on my house because they increase security in the same way that a prominent burglar alarm deters theft.

I can even see why these things been internet connected is appealing, it means the cameras can be accessed remotely when you're out and about and people can't just break in and then take the recording device.

That has to be a US thing there's no way anyone else is like that.

I work for a pretty button-down organisation and frankly they're ridiculously obsessive about corporate stuff but even they wouldn't blink at Gimp.

Now it sounds like a piece of IKEA furniture.

Enjoy our all new JÏMP chair.

 

When you reveal a spoiler the black rectangles go away and it then renders the text in white, but on a white background (light coloured theme) The text renders is exactly the same colour as the background and so you can not see it unless you highlight the post, this renders the background of the post as light grey and there is just about enough contrast difference to now read the text.

When spoiler text is revealed it should render in the same colour as normal text. I'm not sure why it's white.

See images below for demonstration.
