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

1 wow and ffs at the second para here

Well that’s certainly not at all concerning. https://t.co/ii3d1JpAu4 pic.twitter.com/y1xQvhzTDs

not all concerning that a door slamming teenager with obv insecurity issues would have had a guided tour of the Trident launch room.

I mean, we're assuming he's not the source here.

I’ve changed my mind, williamson is actually the best steve coogan character

follow up piece on Danyaal Mahmud that sheds more light on what a repellent pos TR is.

On Friday, one of Robinson’s far-right supporters was filmed threatening a teenager holding a milkshake, with “I promise I’ll knock your teeth out”

was lolling at the Nuts in May lad and his tough pal with a packet of Quavers in his pocket the other day. And also wondering how long they'd last trying to pull that shit in Bradford or Dewsbury town centres i.e. not very long at all unless there was a huge police presence.

*comrade alphabet upthread said "yes = blairite sludge, get rid" but the problem in many ways predates that even when this description fits the dramatis personae -- as in almost all of lab's big structural and systemic problems go back to the 60s and beyond, with the tinkering attempting to tackle them down the decades often just adding layers of intractability

I know that the problem is goes back further. Blairite sludge is the iteration of this issue that I've lived with though. I do think a lot of the answers lie outside Labour.

And its also interesting that, as far as trying to extract meaning from local elections on horribly low turnouts, that Labour lost so litte and basically kept people largely onside. I can see why "they want us to do a deal on Brexit" comes from even if it isn't (and shouldn't) carried out.

lol! Immortal Technique?

Tbh I think a lot of people proudly proclaiming the local elections as a kind of proxy Remain victory are going to have a nasty shock and some explaining to do after the European elections.

Doesn't change the fact that doing a deal with the Tories would be disastrous for Labour even if it miraculously gets through Parliament. The rebellion on both sides could be massive.

I really like this:

Bees are vital to the environment and are important pollinators - a third of the human diet is from plants that are pollinated by insects.

A fantastic initiative by @Brent_Council.https://t.co/cw49HzjwN4

If you were watching Marr yesterday, you’d have seen John McDonnell declare really mushy unconditional love for Extinction Rebellion.

t/s: watching marr yesterday to see john mcdonnell declare really mushy unconditional love for extinction rebellion vs eating broken glass

alright, monarchy respecter

Congratulations to Meghan and Harry on the birth of their baby. I hope they're all doing well. #royalbaby

One of the most low key parts of betting the house was when Corbyn met the Queen & gave her some jam, and didn’t want his colleagues to know.

That bit with Paxman bellowing at him about the monarchy in 2017 was gold though.

I would prefer he suggested a write in poll of the most hilarious ways to execute it/them, but that's not going to happen!

See Nicolas Cage vid above.

Can't believe Farage turned out to be a massive antisemite and conspiracy theorist.

there's me advocating banning ppl from the Labour party for bringing them into disrepute by appearing on RT and that cunt has been interviewed by Alex Jones 6 times!

I love CTIGU

Change UK have changed their name again... their twitter handle was @TheIndGroup until an hour ago when it inexplicably became @ForChange_Now... which is somehow even more confusing and less catchy, and also means they've lost their blue tick 👏

— Alex Wickham (@alexwickham) May 7, 2019

Oh dear... Change UK didn't keep hold of the old handle when they changed it just now, and @TheIndGroup has been re-registered by someone else to read "Hard Brexit" pic.twitter.com/tHbASCruOk

lool!

omg the FourChangs are so consistently amazing

idk about anybody else but I’m getting to the point with this latest news cycle where everything is so stupid and awful that I can’t even really find the bantz anymore. Then this lot come through for me, god bless them

Oh yeah it's long past fun mostly except this incredible clown bus of a party which i am half-convinced is some kind of Chris Morris bit at this stage

This is just like an episode of in the thick of it.

If it helps this thread goes a long way to keeping me sane (except when mark a drops in to scare me with bl***y references)

At least we can laugh at their dreadful candidates flopping even as the country elects a full slate of fash MEPs.

euros are going to be REALLY depressing

I have been informed that the LibDems are gonna clean up so

CHUK will get circa 10% and Brexit Party will win most seats and the popular vote.

what a shambles

Can’t wait for a bunch of people who failed in labour to blame jemiru crombyn for them splitting the left-(ish) vote & fascists getting in. Will they blame the actual government? Nah, of course not.

Also it’s really besides the point given a lot of her other horrorshow views, but lol @ Nora Mulready (2nd gen) saying shit like this:

Ditto the Irish. https://t.co/9PQYIgcbEV

— Nora Mulready (@NoraMulready) July 11, 2018

Ah lovely, it's the turn of the Irish to be mortally offended and to have all the people be mortally offended on our behalf.

— Nora Mulready (@NoraMulready) December 7, 2018

Imagine if catholic priests who'd abused children were referred to by Home Secretary as "sick Irish paedophiles" or were referred to by "progressives" simply as "men"? Neither would be helpful or illuminating or honest. Respect the public enough to describe situations truthfully.

Actually this reminds me that I wanted to poll the worst member of the Irish diaspora. I would expect Steve B to make a good showing, if not win outright, but there’s plenty of competition.

Anne Marie Waters!

I still think it's Terry Wogan.

xp I don’t think she’s diaspora I think she’s just an emigrant. That’s a different poll, with Glinner and Bono.

... and Geldof. Now there is a poll.

... Bono not a emigrant though?
