Quote from: Xevross on Sep 13, 2015, 07:56 AMNot that you Americans care, but Labour has elected an extreme left winger as their new leader. God help us all if he gets into power, thankfully most think he's going to fail.

What are his views? If he's an extreme left authoritarian, then yeah, hopefully he doesn't get into power.

I won't do any big forum work till VizionEck goes gold, but wouldn't it be cool if the forum had its own programing language?

Having the list of youtube videos auto update was really cool, and having metacritic scores auto update would also be pretty cool as Pi suggested. The problem with things like this is each one needs to be hard coded into the bot system. It's a bloated and convoluted solution.

Instead, the forum/bots should have their own high level programing that can be entered by any user in any post. Wouldn't be too user friendly, but it'd allow unlimited forum features.

That would actually be really cool.

He wants everything to be government controlled: he wants a national education service, government controlled railways, he wants the energy sector controlled by the government (no more energy companies). He also wants us to leave NATO, doesn't support the EU, wants a national maximum wage and wants to allow people to claim more benefits. Of course, taxes will have to rise to pay for all this as well.

Those are all terrible ideas... What the hell is the Labour party thinking?

They were thinking they want to go back to their left wing roots I guess. Its funny, there was so many senior figures in the labour party calling for their members to vote for someone else, because Corbyn is "unelectable" ... now they've got to try and convince us that he actually is the right man for the job. There's some predicting Labour might be on the fringes of politics for a generation now

European countries are starting to badly fall out over it. Borders are being closed, no one wants to take the refugees in. It's just gone crazy. Imo we should let them through and I think we (the UK) should welcome them, at least 20k per year.

Indeed, I think so too. Many here in Iceland don't even want to take in a few. Every little thing helps imo!
