one out all out: a brexit from the modern world and every one of its problems please (we're all gonna die lol)

If ever you needed proof that god hates Britain and wants us to all die of starvation.

i am v much stoked for the madness

that BSE case appears statistically unremarkable tbf

stoked that the fates are aligning so i can finally indulge my secret craving for the taste of human flesh

Metro have a quote regarding the extension: in inimitable May style, it seems hand-crafted to enrage everyone.

https://metro.co.uk/2018/10/18/theresa-may-says-shes-ready-to-delay-brexit-8050504/

‘A further idea that has emerged – and it is an idea at this stage – is to create an option to extend the implementation period for a matter of months, and it would only be for a matter of months,’

in other news, the conservatives today announced their new head of media relations

I prefer his other book How I Got Blackballed from the Progressive Eugenics Movement after they saw what an immensely ugly bassa I was.

my uncle died of cjd it was absolutely fucking horrific

right carry on

c'mon Dmac, these comments are in the context of an appalling conservative politician that used his own kid as a political prop. No-one would make light of a citizen dying terribly of something.

seems timely to post this (unironically good though) piece!

the child was spoilt victorian

"arcane" how though? He's hardly "Hidden, concealed, secret." is he?

i fuckin' wish

xp oh no not in the spirit of lamenting yis at all calz. hadnt thought about it meself in years tbh. only noting in passing interest

I probs should have known better, RIP Dmac's Unc.

JRM's so low key that when he turns up on QT (or any BBC program) he gets a ceremonial gavel and everyone hushes up in the presence of a superior, anyone correcting his dubious talk is taken out and flogged.

meanwhile, over on twitter

Yes, the UK does have a special responsibility.

To stop arming Saudi Arabia and to help end the war in Yemen causing this humanitarian crisis. https://t.co/AEovkoAJk5

I thought arcane was a bad choice of adj. too but the article is very good and I'd be keen to read a longer version. The final exchange is perfectly depressing.

I did something I never do and contacted the author to tell her how accurate it was and sorry that she was getting so much shit about it. It’s very very otm, every Irish person I know here has lots of stories like these.

The other thing that might make an extended transition appeal to the EU is we'll finally have a fucking election and May will get enough time to quit without it actively sabotaging the country even more than she currently is.

yeah ive never lived in england but from visiting there for weeks at a time, and them visiting here etc, that article is note-perfect

worst i ever met is a first cousin brit army boy. his own uncles gave him a shoeing out the back of the house one night when he couldnt stow it. family duty.

not sure how I missed the pigeon head incident

xp your uncles otm. Idk what it is about some of the second+ generation but I was reading a football journalist talking about the “no surrender” chants at the England game earlier in the week and half the flag emoji cunts queuing up to attack him had Irish surnames.

At least Johnny Mc is still representing?

jesus what party would have him over here at all with that

All our parties at home are absolute shite, it could only improve the quality, genuinely don’t know who I’d vote for if I went back. Independent probably.

SSSSSSSSSS!

think i can square a labour vote with my better conscience still tbh

practicality and "anyone but sf/ff" i can pinch my nose for fg but it won come to that i dont think

I could never vote FG! Obvs I love Michael D but the rest of them, I don’t know about.

confession: working for whichever crew i always see things a bit their way, cos you have to in order to get anything done.

jesus tho i might resign if SF/FF got in. which would suit em obv

That's a very good article, alright.

I hadn't previously seen the "viral" video with the pigeon's head. jfc.

Ah I'd seen the fella as a meme but didn't know what he was from!

Never vote for FF. The most devious of all. The only TD I like is Clare Daly, I guess I would just have to move to Fingal? SF ahead of FG though I mean jesus. Labour are the only reasonable option despite everything.

Tempted to go to bookies to put a tenner on May being gone by this time next week after that disaster of a press conference.

the ra shot my neighbours dog plax (hi btw) so never never never sf

I'm curious as to whether another generation or two would allow SF to actually pull off re-invention as a party of the left, though that great leap may be a hostage to events, if you'll pardon the phrase.

"Sammy Wilson has said he has received assurances from a senior civil servant that there will be no physical border checks even if the UK crashes out of the European Union without a deal."

I would like to believe that the civil servant followed through with "..because we're cutting you cunts loose as soon as we can", but Sammy, due to a breeding defect, can't process that concept.

Apologies if posted already but this is hilarious if true:

sf need to develop some economic policies that dont terrify everyone first. but steps already well underway now that jarry and martin are out of picture....for now

shankhill butcher's dog m8

the ra firebombed my wife’s house when she was a kid - they got the address wrong but luckily it was a shite bomb and no lasting damage was done, plus the fellas that did it bought her da a couple of pints to apologise the next week so all’s well that ends well eh

proper haircuts, proper terrorism
