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

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:

was this dog a tout or pro-british element tho?

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

a child would firebomb a house in the street

thank god the RA sent the Kerry squad that night!

What is @theresa_may’s one last shot at negotiating a Brexit deal? This is what well-placed sources tell me https://t.co/8cMTxJy0aT

at least Chukka has got himself a nice p/t job, £451 ph. All he needs to do is c+p content from various centrist parody accounts and no-one will notice the difference.

Chuka of course believes MPs should resign before taking second jobs. Or at least he did 18 months ago.

Wes spot on here. On no level is this defensible and, worse still, it reinforces the false claim that all MPs are in it for themselves. https://t.co/eohRUDw88g

Although surely not as bad as the MSP who managed to work 376 taxpayer funded days in a year.

There's got to be some Indian cookery award for a headline with that much masala on it. The 1.7 trillion figure would be if the UK was previously up for winning every single government procurement contract in the world. https://t.co/IHM18Spzlc

They've modified it now to "Moldova Grudge Could Cost U.K. Access to $1.7 Trillion Projects"

Con Mp for Plymouth Moor, ex dashing "one of our boys" and star of Channel 4’s Celebrity Hunted, Johnny Mercer, who turned down a role in government has described May as an unimaginative technocrat and called her cabinet “a shitshow". Stoked for the madness!

remember when we used to bemoan the Tories' unerring ability to present a united front?

johnny mercer... otm?

With military fervour, he concludes: “I’m not going to sit at the back of the bus and watch it head towards the edge of the cliff. I’m not going to let us go down without a serious shit fight.”

he's probably pro death penalty and suffers from flashbacks, but on May and her cabinet he's deffo otm!

I've seen quite a lot of trad right wing Tory ex-army types slating this government about PIP. I don't think they give a monkey's about what it is generally doing to disabled people, more that the PIP assessments aren't recognising PTSD as a real condition.

only our bravest and best have earned the right to have mental health problems is an attitude I've seen some of.

It goes along with the historic "Barrack Room Language" as in only our brave lads in the forces are allowed to swear.

feel we're missing the real tea here:

I’ll give you one chance at honesty. Did you insinuate my wife was a prostitute on the Plymouth Herald comments section?

— Johnny Mercer MP (@JohnnyMercerUK) October 16, 2018

uh oh @biilabong1965 is in real trouble here

*extremely robert de niro voice* did you insinuate my wife?

*extremely canonic stand-up comedian voice* insinuate my wife… please

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.

When you come to England you quickly realize the English don't know anything about anything, they don't have to so they don't bother. Not to generalize or anything.

Series 2 Episode 1

Can Johnny Mercer MP avoid the hunters and get to Westminster for a crucial Brexit vote? Meanwhile, a text message to Love Island's Chris Hughes and Kem Cetinay's burner phone exposes their hideout.

For a sitting MP in a minority administration, perhaps signing up for this kind of thing isn't the best idea?

galloway-in-a-catsuit.gif

also lol now remembering a young SWP apparatchik (long since quit) glumly pushing the line that no! GG being on BB was the GOOD kind of populism!

congratulations to Nick Clegg on his new job

for the record, i'm in favour of sitting mps signing up for reality shows as long as the show is the running man

I bet Clegg's getting paid more than Gideon/Cameron combined and multiplied a few times then add a few more mill!

Well if you want that kind of elite experience and credibility you gotta expect to pay the big bucks

These guys are sociopaths, but I guess you knew that already.

What legit use could have for a weapon that powerful? Unless you are some deranged N Yorkshire farmer convinced you could should shoot an Iran launched ICBM down before it gets to Beverley!

even if it was a bill to outlaw feeding bairns to Komodo Dragons, they wouldn't gaf.

Don't come crying to me if a badger comes at you driving a Transit

the hunting sett

I used sometimes work with a f/t shooter of anything that moves on NT land, and tbf he was more funny as fuck than scary, but still somewhat scary sometimes!

gamekeepers are/were interestingly ambiguous figures IMO, inextricably linked with upholding the power of the landed gentry but obviously not of that class, and often radically opposed to it in both temperament and outlook. Land Agents were similar if more lower middle class figures. This sounds interesting on that subject: https://www.lrb.co.uk/v37/n24/nick-richardson/eels-in-their-pockets

lol yeah

SB on why FB is hiring NC (includes telling typo in the tweet), "facebook" for "brexit") (worth glancing at his conversation on twitter abt this also)

On Nick Clegg's hiring: a sign both of how the UK will matter less after Facebook and also Remainers' low chances of stopping it: https://t.co/ZhdGMrhsAV
