YouGov's @chriscurtis94 takes a look at who Lab-Con switchers are, what they believe and why they jumped ship in today's @timesredbox.

49% of this group say the main reason they switched their allegiance due to Brexit. While only 27% cited the leader...

...that's not to say that Lab-Con switchers like Jeremy Corbyn - they really, really don't. Just 5% hold a favourable view of the outgoing Labour leader, while 76% have a very unfavourable view.

By contrast, 81% have a favourable view of Boris Johnson.

thetimes.co.uk/edition/commen…
74% of Lab-Con switchers say that Labour left them, not the other way around. The party "used to represent people like me, but no longer does".

46% say the Tories never used to represent people like them, but does so now.

@lizcourserants @zombiejerusalem Those types I'll actually be the aggressor in usually, and they can't stand logical arguments or criticism and usually will block me.

Then you have the active hunters. Some of them merely use pedo-hunting as a pretext and venue for sadistic, predatory, and harassing behavior,
@lizcourserants @zombiejerusalem and in my experience, they usually are right-wing as opposed to their counterparts who are unabashedly liberal and even socialistic, and rather unconcerned with fictional porn (or they might keep tabs on you for just hentai but won't make you a priority or report to NCMEC for
@lizcourserants @zombiejerusalem that alone).

I don't venture far outside my furry bubble or have an interest in fictional programs and universes besides my own, so I have not encountered the more malicious and acutely destructive and predatory sorts. Furrydom really just has the first kind of antis who

As we enter week three, this is sum of where I think we are- combo of what I’ve seen and what I’ve heard. Usual caveats apply...
Labour

-Struggling with working class Leave voters, especially men.
-Generally middle class vote holding up, lots of tactical voting going on
-Corbyn bigger problem than Brexit, and is a big drag amongst traditional Lab voters, huge online campaign against him hitting home
-nonetheless Lab vote holding up better than is generally understood,
-activists generally felt things a bit more positive this weekend and have started to notice a change
-feeling is debates helped detoxify Corbyn a bit.
-WASPI announcement v helpful
-lots of youth registration

PSEPHOLOGY CORNER DAY 1

There has been a lot of talk already about “Workington Man”.

In fact all the seats in Cumbria are interesting. Workington is probably one of the least important of the collection of Lab/Con fights: Barrow, Carlisle, Copeland and Workington.
Overtime, Labour has gradually been losing its grip on the county. Carlisle and Copeland were reliably Labour seats, even in the 80s when Barrow was not. Carlisle has been lost to the party since 2010. Copeland was lost in the 2017 by-election and did not return at the general.
Of the county’s six seats, Workington has been the most solidly Labour. If the party really does lose it, it’s in big trouble. In eight of the last ten general elections, Labour’s vote has exceeded 50% of the total votes cast.

Decided to go over-land instead of fast-traveling to a thieves guild quest location south of Chorrol, and realized that the game is really unstable outdoors. As best I can tell from looking at crash dumps, there's a race condition when trying to allocate memory on cell load.
Messed with heap settings in Oblivion Stutter Remover (again). Found that it actually does best without OSR managing the heap, but still eventually crashes at some point if I run east from Chorrol. Installed MoreHeap and set to the same 1024MB as OSR and it seems to help so far?
Well that jinxed it. Next time I loaded my save, I made it barely 10 yards before the game froze.

Going to reduce MoreHeap and OSR from 1024MB heap to 768MB and see how it goes, mostly because I don't know what else to do at this point.

According to my mod, these are the locations I have yet to explore. The one in the middle of Niben Bay is the portal to the Shivering Isles DLC, so I'll save that for last.
Exploring a missed cave named Veyond just north of Bravil, and it's full of hostile "argonian tribesmen", which I haven't seen anywhere else in the game. I wonder if this location is involved in a quest, or maybe cut content?
The Internet has ruined me, because this is what I think of every time I see the town of Chorrol on my Oblivion map:

Today @theresa_may asked the country to #BackTheBrexitDeal. The main reason for it? People like me. EU citizens who chose to commit our lives to the UK. We, first and foremost, are the reason why Britons are being robbed of rights. This is the culmination of 2+ years of hate. 1/
The anti-EU migrant machinery began spinning in earnest on 20 February 2016, the day @David_Cameron announced the date of the EU referendum. From the pinning of people against people to bible references: we became a faceless mass for good that day. Here are just two examples. 2/
Instead of standing up to this, Stronger In just sought to sweep immigration, sweep us, under the carpet. Denied a vote, denied a voice, denied a platform. That was the greatest error of the Remain campaign and here is why. [Source: kcl.ac.uk/sspp/policy-in…] 3/
