I'll maybe play it safe and just attend 😅

That's exactly it! Minus the guitar with maybe a joke in there!

Setup - some more setup - tangent - more setup - callback - address some audience disappointment - some long awkward pauses - some meta commentary - and then a painfully overly drawn out punchline, that was absolutely not worth it.

Probably not suitable for open mic night...unless I lock the doorsa

That's some pretty solid and great advice.

I guess my issue is that I've basically got the concepts of a joke.

You know how standup routine is often: setup - punchline - laughter

That's very efficient and clearly a winning formula....where as what I've got is...

I think it's less likely now since they are rowing back on breaking manifesto promises like raising income tax

...but it probably would have been someone awful like Streeting. I think the MPs would try to anoint a starmer-lite candidate as opposed to someone the membership would elect

Either that or in AI 🤣

It didn’t perform well at the box office, but it’s very well made. It does a good job highlighting the socio-economic struggles, lack of political representation, the financial slump and the squalid conditions working class people including soldiers returning the Napoleonic Wars faced at the time.

Showing the courage of ordinary people, the brutality of the ruling class, and the stakes of fighting for justice. Peterloo is a reminder: democracy and workers’ rights were never handed freely, they were fought for.

Essential viewing for radicals and an interesting part of working class history!

I clearly need to use Bluesky more often! 😅

When they say that socialism "doesn't work because people are selfish" I always ask them what happens when working class people are collectively selfish.

As a selfish working class person, I don't give a shit about "creating shareholder value" when I don't own the shares!
