"oh you don't get me I'm the end of the union": lol brexit is how we're all gonna die

i swear to god kids if i see one more Facebook post from some group called "We Support Jeremy Corbyn" or something doing some fuck awful cult of personality steez i'm going full Tory

*sees one more Facebook FBPE post about how Corbyn must die*

ah fuck it i'm done

my disdain for Taytos may have been exaggerated due to intoxication last night, apologies to all concerned

nah, you’re good, taytos are bullshit

we are a thread divided

taytexit starts here

Nordie Taytos: bad
Free State Taytos: good
Pub Taytos: very special
King: the best

Thanks Brexit for making me sympathise with Bertie FUCKING Ahern!

British MP: "What are Irish people's view of Ireland "rejoining the UK"?

Bertie Ahern: "I’ll just be kind and say ‘not very well’”

i can't honestly tell the diff between the nordie taytos and the irish ones but a friend says the same about them. i've never tried one after another and relative to p much all english cheese and onion crisps the nordie taytos are still great. there are one or two english brands that are tayto-like but tbh every pub seems to have a different new brand of innocent smoothie 'cooked with love in lancashire' bollocks crisp.

king is good too but i wouldn't necessarily elevate it, long time since i had a bag tho. there seem to be loads of tayto clones around now in ireland. at xmas (but not for xmas) my mum bought me a pack of 'keoghs' which she says is her occasional treat at the shop and they were very good.

Brexit supporting MP Craig Mckinlay says he is "surprised" people of Ireland aren't pressing Irish government for more flexibility over backstop.
"I'm surprised the people of republic aren’t saying, come on government, you’re not actually reflecting our views here" 1/2

Craig McKinlay clearly doesn’t know any Irish people or read ilx or he’d get why this is something you’d be embarrassed to say out loud.

xp a colleague of mine brings back those really posh crisps from home and like...keep it simple.

I have to admit my objection to Nordie Tayto is mostly the aesthetic.

I would also take 99% of Tayto corn snacks (Johnny Onion Rings, Wheelies) over the crisp export of the entirety of Britain tbh.

if there was a podcast about the Scamp Fries supply chain i would listen the hell out of it

ScampI Fries

Wait would a hard Brexit disrupt Scampi Fries stocks? This is more serious than I thought

I used to like Seabrooks Salt & Vinegar a lot. But to have come to the conclusion that all crisps are evil & bad in recent years.

Steady on

I think I might have been brainwashed by arch-remoaner twat Baron Adonis jamie oliver :p

did youse see the state of that Adonis tweet that hedges was ripping this morning? Jesus fucking wept!

It is simply untrue to say that London gets ‘too much’ infrastructure or other public spending relative to the rest of the UK. Without London, the capital of Europe until Brexit, Britain would be a desperately poor country unable to maintain today’s public services https://t.co/J7FXdtTDhN

obv this cunt has never sat on creaking pacer train between Batley and Leeds!

have come to the conclusion that all crisps are evil & bad in recent years.

It's not that I don't recognise London's economic contribution, it's that I don't give a shit

I always feel worse after eating crisps, whereas some food - even snacks, sort of make me feel better. anyway as a f/t pisshead there is only so much poison I can put into my ageing/dying husk!

I disagree

thanking u to nashwan for this twist

Andrew Adonis can fuck off to Europe after Brexit, if he loves it so much amirite?

Adonis is the ultimate Leave campaigner. Farage should send him a crimbo card. He's The Western Wind in the famous Aesop fable.

i buy posh crisps and smash them up with a pestle & mortar to sprinkle into my prizewinning home-made comedy marmalade

when the resultant mould is good and cultured i scrape it off and serve as a "foam"

You know when Blair said that politicians were experts in their field who should be obeyed by their lessers, do you think he was talking about the MP who wondered whether the Irish fancied being reoccupied?

jesus lads

Adonis really does appear to lack even a basic sense of self-awareness.

entirely serious question: in the event of Irish reunification, what happens with Nordie Tayto and Free State Tayto?

I've seen too many bbc programmes where they have some token person on to ask "what's the view from outside the westminster bubble?" so adonis' honest disinterest is refreshing

Wasn’t Adonis doing a speaking tour of lower-league football grounds and Working Men’s Clubs last year; or did I imagine it?

I did not:

That must have been fun.

I hope he brought his washboard and comb.

Fucking hell who goes to these things?

Maybe the pie and peas supper is good

lot to unpack here since and im about to get on a flight

gyacs boosting of king is a grand position to take but wouldnt necessarily agree that its above 26c tayto

planter tayto i havent tried. i hadnt known that pub tayto was a thing unless its just tayto in a pub

keoghs and the likes are tbh good

english crisps are pretty rotten but walkers posh ones like roast chicken flavour can surprise you

in the event of reunification 26 county tayto becomes 32 county tayto and bulmers stays bulmers the lads can march wherever they like on 12th as a concession but these are red lines

challop: Bulmers and Magners are both horrible

(xxp) Reminds me of this exemplary nakh thread, that legend of the game

Walkers are the worst English crisps and using them against us is basically slander

neil thats fine

just yknow we'll keep our horrible you keep your horrible and we'll have no trouble

adonis made me Leave

xp fair dos ty

xp they are the worst and using them against you is prefectly valid. get your house in order

Any cider brand ending -ers is bilgewater, I thought we all knew that

I’m remain again

The irony is Andrew, if the ungrateful people of the northern provinces had not done brexit, we would currently be building them High Speeds 3 to 11 paid for by the £billions of taxes raised by hard working London remainers.

Not quite sure who decided that the Sun was the place to leak "lol we're going to have no trade deals", but it seems to be fertile ground:
