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

Is that some kind of euphemism for testicle?

testicles are the kind of rare delicacy men will kill each other to sample in post-brexit Britain

ah... a spoonful of mouldering corn flour mixed into out of date baked beans.. those were the days my (soon to be eaten) friend.

they’re coming back!

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

They can march where they like but will they like where they march?

Also, what will the new monstrous Tayto-man look like?

The best British crisps are the Co-Op salt and vinegar ones.

DoT sounding pretty confident about the 29 March.

Driving your own vehicle or hiring one in the EU? From 29 March you will need new documentation. Check the new requirements: https://t.co/GiBkOoa4tP #PrepareforEUExit #Brexit pic.twitter.com/cCmrC4sjt6

Also lol at ex-pats (maybe) having to take a driving test in the event of no deal.

If you are a UK licence holder living in the EU or EEA you should exchange your UK driving licence for a local EU driving licence before 29 March 2019. From that date, in the event that there is no EU Exit deal, you may have to pass a driving test in the EU country you live in to be able to carry on driving there.

the best cider is mcivors plum and ginger i am disinclined to discover its ethnicity

From Armagh, so it is.

From 29 March 2019, in the event that there is no EU Exit deal, UK residents involved in a road traffic accident in an EU or EEA country should not expect to be able to make a claim in respect of that accident via a UK-based Claims Representative or the UK Motor Insurers’ Bureau (MIB).

"making our own laws"

so much for my disinclination

god i was a happy mon once

Meanwhile, in Haringey Council:
https://www.insidehousing.co.uk/news/news/haringey-council-to-invest-1bn-in-housing-over-five-years-60150

Haringey Council’s cabinet is tonight expected to approve budget proposals that include £247.5m of capital spending on new housing up to the end of 2023/24, plus £433m on buying new homes for the HRA.

It will also pump £285.3m into its existing stock and loan a new housing company £37m over that period, bringing the total investment to more than £1bn.

An officer’s report to be considered by councillors later said the government’s action to remove the HRA borrowing cap in October “will support us in fulfilling our commitment to deliver at least 1,000 new council homes at council rents by 2022 and build our own housing on our own land”.

This seems...good? Obviously will have to see how it works out in reality.

Really, really pissed off with @TheNewEuropean for this. The Migration Watch paper pulled some figures out of Lord Green's arse so as to whip up hatred against immigrants, and they're using it uncritically as a tool against Brexit. https://t.co/kMPWcsO1LN

The New European continue to be cunts. The last time I thought of Migration Watch, it was in relation to that overtly fash report they put out that described British born children with at least one immigrant parent as “hidden immigrants”, so it’s very cool and normal that alleged progressives are using their research. And yet another reminder to never, ever, ever give these people any ground or platform. They seldom stop where they start.

xp maybe it’s south armaaaagh

the declan rice move is a serious misstep at this delicate stage imo we'll have to take free derry in any new deal just for that

Derry and Down for milk and butter. Throw in Tyrone for beef.

what the hell are manchester council up to fining homeless people ?

Also sorry to go on like this, but these revisionists will kill us all.

Like later that year George Osborne got booed at the Paralympics for his government’s policies towards disabled people! Workfare was introduced! Jeremy Hunt was moved to Health! Aargh I hate these fuckers so much!

No jingoism in the Olympics opening ceremony, truly it was a prelapsarian age

for now, Britain had the luxury of exploring its identity through celebration rather than adversity

yes, that glorious year. 2012. truly britain before the fall.

the government is really shitting the bed here huh?

here, there, everywhere

Hopefully a few Bufton Tuftons might have had cardiacs on hearing about this:

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-47233605

In response to Mr McDonnell's comments, Labour MP Ian Austin posted a picture of the wartime leader on social media.

He tweeted: "Look who takes pride of place on my mantelpiece in Dudley: a real British hero, the greatest ever Briton, the man who motivated Britain to defeat the Nazis and fight not just for our liberty but the world's freedom."

What is this arsehole doing in the Labour Party?

Churchill's grandson calls McDonnell "poundshop Lenin" in pathetically weak retort from ugly tory basdard shocker.

Ian Austin who was dismissed as "hepatitis" on a Tory election pamphlet - stopped clock etc.

when I said Walkers were the worst crisps I had admittedly forgotten about Brannigans

Woah, this is just completely wrong. Ham and pickle Brannigans are maybe the best crisps. Don't know if I can eat them these days, but I don't see them very often anyway.

I’ve changed my mind, Churchill was good now.

It’s so easy just to not say anything, but people do keep telling on themselves.

xp maybe it’s south armaaaagh

hey ...maybe its south......ur maaaagh

boom

Maybe...

Just maybe...

It’s South Ár Ma

Spanish armagh da.

(fill in the joke yourself)

seeing these Labour Right dregs pretending to know something about history or cherry picking their own self-serving curated version (that fucking cretin Austin can't even get Labour Party history right ffs) and making a complete exhibition of themselves really does the party a good service and reminds one how fit for office these cunts were.

I love it that these fools are clueless and an autodidact like McDonnell would run rings around their flimsy bullshit takes on British history.

McDonnell is incredibly well-read; his FT profile said so and he was photographed reading poetry on the tube the other day (couldn’t see what it was, sadly).

bullshit culture war story ofc and churchill clearly a villain and arsehole and everything in between but can’t help but think saying ‘complicated’ might have been a better way to elude all those nonsense. do yourself some favours big john

hopefully won’t get too “look a squirrel”’d today given impending govt defeat

xp this is true and yet I think McDonnell, being a socialist from a Liverpool Ireland family, would have been fully justified going in studs up with an unapologetic “He was a cunt!”

lmao can u imagine the utter meltdown if a senior labour politician called churchill a cunt. that would be truly delicious

it is the debate this country needs tbh.

“was churchill a cunt?” join me, nicky clarke, as we find out

McD was only giving quick q+a answers to some live online interview wannit? I'm sure he would give a more nuanced take on Churchill if that was what was required - but still call him a cunt as well.

I didn’t ever like Churchill when I learned about him in school, but the culture war shit and insistence that we never ever discuss the evil shit he did do has made me a full time hater.

“Churchill, hero or villain?”
“Neither - cunt.” Was what he should have said.

xxxp I'm sure Nicky Clarke has some trenchant opinions on Churchill's hair but is he really the man to host a phone in debate about such a serious issue?

I was told from an early age by family that he was pure evil. And my irish great grandad came back from Gallipoli minus a big bit of one his legs because of his awesome military thinking - unencumbered by any concerns for the effects of mounted machine guns on soldiers.

I was thinking a live televised truth and reconc panel, hosted by nicky with chris leslie, ian austin and nicholas soames against big john, ross greer MSP and the kid who daubed the statue w paint

They keep mentioning Churchill won a Greatest Briton ever in a poll in 2002 - i.e 16 years ago. Didn't Alan Turing just win a similar poll in 2019? Stick yer Gary Oldmans up yer arse, Churchill is strictly for the Yanks these days.

can't believe there are still snowflakes whining about this inspirational hero who didn't believe Indians were full human beings

Remember that shit about Obama and the Churchill bust, even though his granddad was tortured by the British?

Among the detainees who suffered severe mistreatment was Hussein Onyango Obama, the grandfather of Barack Obama, the former President of the United States. According to his widow, British soldiers forced pins into his fingernails and buttocks and squeezed his testicles between metal rods and two others were castrated.

I think the major WW2 crimes attributed to Churchill on social media today (bombing/killing civilians, starving Bangladeshis) were so much the standard m.o. of the British Empire for centuries, they would happened without him anyway. Not that I'm making up excuses for the cunt. but just saying an Evil Empire is a collaboration with many different parts, and at that time it was the the most expert swelled government of British history that had taken this path, not just that cunt even though the propaganda version of history makes him the focal point. And its domestic population weren't exactly protesting in the streets about fire-bombing or the bangladeshi famine. we're all bad and should feel bad etc...

that sounds v right to me calz
