# (I apologise in advance, this probably isn't worth a new thread)
this probably isn't worth a new thread)I was mindlessly Googling one day and I noticed that there's a new political party originally called 'The New Party'. (Not a very wise choice of name in my opinion it doesn't exactly tell us what they stand for and surely they'll have to change their name and therefore their stationery in a few years time when they are no longer 'new'?). Now I noticed something odd about their logo and I'm just curious whether it's just me or if you can spot it too.

It appears to be based on the Royal Air Force roundel no doubt to inspire some good old fashioned patriotism but instead of the outer blue circle it's the shape of five people reaching into the middle so it sort of looks like a community of people helping one another with the added bonus of also looking like a bit like a Tudor rose.

However the inner circle is still red as per the RAF logo so what we have is five pairs of hands reaching into the middle and pulling it outwards to reveal something red...



Like I said maybe it's just me.

And reality is subjective. How can they offer that?

# I think what he means is that everyone's perception of reality is different
and while there might be a true perception of reality, establishing whose perception of reality is the closest to actual reality is impossible.

# Well then "we offer reality" has the same status as any other assertion
such as "I offer you a nice bit of stilton on a cracker". They could be wrong about the reality being reality, I could be wrong about the stilton being stilton, maybe it's roquefort or dolcelatte. Granted the whole of reality is much larger than a bit of cheese, but it's only a matter of scale, same difference.

# Yup.
I think that's what Tribs was saying too. Glad we all agree.

# Come off it, roquefort is gorgeous
although a bit overpriced, it's definitely nicer than stilton, because it tastes stronger without being as harsh. I'd have thought you'd pick on the dolcelatte, that's the one people usually sneer at for being sugary goop like a kind of cheesy nougat.

# I find that Roquefort still has that metallic taste that is common to blue cheeses.
I had a brilliant blue cheese from a Cheshire cheese maker called H.S.Bourne last month that didn't have that horrible metallic taste. I was chuffed at finding it.

# But, unlike cheese, Reality cannot be sliced up.
Except, as you say, for personal reality, which is the very part of reality that cannot be given.

Unless it is taken in the very abstract sense that - say - teaching is like reality transfer.

# "teaching is like reality transfer" sounds a bit inductivist.
We interpret information that comes in through our pores and palps. There are no direct uploads into the brain.

# So the reality they are offering is ... umm.... what?
An objective reality existing regardless of our own existence or our perception of reality as a result of our influence on the world and its influence on us?

# Good point, I've already got one of those, wouldn't know what to do with another.
They probably meant "realism".

# That would make a little more sense.
And still look as if it means more than it actually does. There is such an art to writing political taglines.

# I think what they mean by "reality" is
"doing what the people on BBC's 'Have Your Say' think we should do".

If so, then this party might just turn out to be BNP Light (although that's a role already filled by UKIP).

# Dear Lord No.
I used to contribute to "Have Your Say" but not for long. Reading the comments often made me fear for the future of humanity really it did. I much prefer b3ta as we have amusing pictures. And intelligence.

# b3ta has truly ruined me too.
I can't help but see goatse wherever I go. Over at Photoshop Disasters while the discussion was supposed to be on how the baby's arm was so long as to hold the roundel that was not my first second or even third thought.
