Seizing back control: The ILX lol brexit is how we're all gonna die thread.

there’s only one person BNB can be surely

Well, I did drop a fairly massive and obvious GoT-referencing hint about an hour after I had the conversation in question :D

xxxp this is not how I parsed this statement at all - Leo could say anything & it would be interpreted by that crowd as justification

yes i know who it is -- since i don't watch that programme i have no way of saying whether they're good or bad in the way i was asking about. i'm guessing bad, they're all bad in that way (stephen bush is the least bad). this isn't really a matter of party bias, it's a matter of forgetting what your actual job as a news organisation is.

A mass of protestors ranging from British far-right activists through to Trump-voting Americans and French supporters of a ‘Frexit’ and others were among those who have been attending a Ukip event outside the House of Parliament “sponsored”, in the party’s words, by Tommy Robinson.

As supporters of the separate March to Leave event on Parliament Square assembled in front of a big screen, members of both crowds walked between it and the Ukip event, which was due to be addressed by the party leader Gerard Batten.

To cheers, a number of Loyalist marching bands made a loud entrance to Parliament Square shortly after 4.30pm.

“Brexit is a huge inspiration to us and we want France to follow,” said Rabia Ouchikhe, a French citizen from the island of Reunion who was gathered with others from France’s Eurosceptic UPR movement. She said that some 800 people had travelled from France.

Other speakers were due to include Robinson, whose real name in Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, as well as the YouTube figure Carol Benjamin.

Home-made placards and differing dress, ranging from yellow vests to military fatigues and polo shirts of the various football fan groups that have come together under the banner of the Football Lads Alliance, dotted the crowd.

Barbara Parish, a former nurse from Nottingham, was wearing a crown and the sash of the suffragettes, as well as placard tracing UK democracy from the Magna Carta to the universal suffrage and beyond. “Don’t let the EU and Parliament destroy it,” was her message.

The gathering was watched by attendees who had floated across from the other rally. They included Louise Peart, a former policewoman and NHS worker from Surrey, who described the parliamentary impasse as a “shambles”.

“We’re tired of getting tarnished as far-right or racist or the other. We’re just working middle class people who want democracy to be carried through,” she added.

Will the cabinet please stop posting these golden thread titles too late?

Normally mild-mannered backbencher: The cabinet are f***ed. They’re so sh**. They couldn’t sell a glass of water to a parched man in the desert. They’re dancing with the fairies you and I can’t see at the end of the garden

whelks in name only

"Yaxley-Lennon, whose fake name is Tommy Robinson"

^^^why not this ffs

Off to the pub shortly, good luck to UKIP and March for Brexit and the Football Lads Alliance in their inevitable internecine and hopefully tragic battle.

It you could try to ensure that there's none of yez left alive and standing in Westminster by 11pm, that would be grand.

The bants express keeps on rolling

Nigel Dodds tells me the UK should stay in the EU if that was only way to preserve NI’s place in UK. ‘I would stay in the European Union and remain rather than risk Northern Ireland’s position. That’s how strongly I feel about the union.’

Speaker points at Parliament and says, "You have betrayed the soldiers who have fought for your country. Shame on you!"

Oh, does he mean the soldiers who fought in Europe to ensure people would never have to fight a Europe-wide war ever again? Fuck off, gammons.

racism's a helluva drug

loyalists, kippers, football lads alliance. basically the worst dregs of humanity in one place.

It was really grim tbh. All of the above plus a smattering of upper-class twits of the worst sort

Some of these guys are walking through the train I’m in rn looking for seats, pray for me pls

I passed some of these demonstrators a while back - younger ones 100% edgelord types and more middle class than me, older ones absolutely nailed on golf Nazis. Thankfully I didn’t encounter any of the loyalists.

So...a stranger comes up to me on the train today + asks “Mr Umunna,what are your favourite garage tracks from back in the day?”
My answer: “Saved my life” by Todd Edwards & “The Energy” by Astro Trax.

sounds like somebody's weighing a clout, testing its heft, in preparation for some castin'

Lol that is the Toriest thing ever. All gripes set aside, no matter how serious or awful, for the good of the party.

Chuka Umunna also defected from UK garage for "soulful house", when the MCs started to get involved, and that is all you need to know about him imho

The view as I walked out the gate at the HoP. Lot of people glaring at me for betraying Brexit.
