Reply to: Bad branding or genius?

[Lance]

I read a thing that suggested that this whole conference, and the TikTok videos that go with it are all about

• social media and reach. Lots of video content that gets quite tweeted or re-tweeted
• Normalising this sort of language for a USA audience
• Trump/MAGA/2024 election

Now that all sounds a bit daft, but makes more sense than trying to appeal the British public, who on the whole, aren't a massive set of twats.

They had a psychiatrist there scoring everyone on "sane-ness". THey all got a print-out at the end to show people.
What a plonker.

I was making a point. But you knew that.

Is that a fact or just your opinion?

Gove was a highlight because he was the most sane speaker at the "conference"

My degree was in NAtural Sciences, typically written NatSci.

Oh Dear

at least one hopes you wouldn't describe a political party with such a name.

[d000hg]

say NAT-C out loud (clue sounds like NAZI).

The National socialist party was the official name.

Ah, I saw that story on BBC News but it wasn't clear that's what this thread is about (if it is)

Now they could have suggested similar offensive branding in some cases, but this was pretty crass.

Taliban Tories
The conservative comfort girls.
The Stalin programs.

Yes, The NAT-C meeting is where all the important people are - Gove, Farage, Braverman, Rees-Mogg, etc

In fact one of today's highlights was Douglas Murray who received laughter and applause for summarising WWI and WWII as
"the Germans mucked up twice in a century."

Hard to find one, maybe that's because JRM said the Tory party had tried gerrymandering the local elections with Voter ID and it had backfired on them.

""Parties that try and gerrymander end up finding that their clever scheme comes back to bite them, as dare I say we found by insisting on voter ID for elections."

I did find a nice train company though

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-65599302

Travellers on an intercity train in Austria were startled on Sunday when a recording of an Adolf Hitler speech was played on board.

Instead of the normal announcements, a crowd could also be heard shouting "Heil Hitler" and "Sieg Heil" over the train's speaker system.

The operator said there had been several such incidents in recent days.

One passenger on the Bregenz-Vienna service told the BBC that everyone on the train was "completely shocked".

David Stoegmueller, a Green Party MP, said the speech by the Nazi German leader was played over the intercom shortly before the train, an ÖBB Railjet 661, arrived in Vienna.

"We heard two episodes," he said. "First there was 30 seconds of a Hitler speech, and then I heard 'Sieg Heil'."

Mr Stoegmueller said the train staff were unable to stop the recording and were unable to make their own announcements. "One crew member was really upset," he added.

Bring back Corbyn to give the Tories a chance!
