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

I call it macaroni cheese irl. It is probably the satanic influence of J Oliver that has me typing "mac n cheese".

goodness me using kraft slices to make cheese sauce sounds quite repulsive.

i can has burger cheese?

I thought Kraft Dinner = Kraft Mac'n'Cheese?

i cannot for the life of me find coarse cornmeal anywhere (no, not polenta) (Indian Head or Bob's Red Mill) apart from Amazon, which is the LAST thing stopping me from closing my account there

help a brother out if you can

hmm I think my wife was looking for that at some point, can't remember if she managed to find it but will ask

Never mind all that:

"As a fair and balanced news provider, talkRADIO does not tolerate antisemitic views," the broadcaster said.

hmmm......

New tax year - you know what that means, plebs.... 50p more per hour minimum wage!!! 🥳

[one Universal Credit payment later]

We regret to inform you that consequently the Minimum Income Floor is also going up, so you'll get £25 quid a month less UC a month. 😭

itt: a heartbreaking case study in how people can be crushed by the force of the free market

I thought Kraft Dinner = Kraft Mac'n'Cheese?

Indeed. Aka 'macaroni cheese' in the parlance of some Brits, no?

Are there any "actually this is fine" takes going about regarding David Prescott or Lisa Forbes?

Tracer this stuff any good to you? I’m guessing not.

What's this

https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2019/may/30/labour-reboot-ed-miliband-brexit-corbyn-referendum

The usual thing you get from Owen Jones

Tbh I’ve always wanted Miliband to come back to shadow cab, he’d be a big step up from several of the imcumbents

They need to bring him in on climate change eg. making the Environment remit much bigger.

fun* watching the contortions in scottish labour deploying the house lines - “scots are sick of referenda and don’t want indyref II” and “we need to pivot to backing a second referendum on EU membership with an option to remain”

xp agreed, but I’d happily see him replacing Burgon in Justice, Griffith in defence (lol) or Gardiner in...whatever his portfolio is.

shadow minister for the today programme iirc

yeah gyac that's basically polenta - i have tried it. it has this amazing ability to just suck up all the liquid you add to it which is like, weird and possibly demonic but it doesn't make good cornbread

cornmeal's a minefield, man

no dice on the cornmeal I'm afraid

Yeah I was thinking that was too good to be true - shame.

I only just saw that Trump made reference to Sadiq being tiny, feels like he got off lucky?!

'...except the pig likes it'

ben, james, oliver, will... you’ve done it again

Hey @realDonaldTrump, we read the story about the sailors on a US warship being ordered to hide from you because you’re triggered by the name on their hats. So we turned Madame Tussaud's into a giant USS John McCain baseball cap. Welcome to London! pic.twitter.com/KuynOwupFm

Just announced (?) that Corbyn is attending the protest tomorrow

xp my brain is so diseased I read the first line of yr post and thought “what have the Goldsmiths done now?”

oliver goldsmith the worst goldsmith, another late write-in for the awful shower thread

that is a controversial view bearing in mind Sir James produced a load of failsons

Yes I will be protesting tomorrow Jeremy. AGAINST you AND DRUMPF. Two tyrants for the price of one. In fact, you are worse than him, because at least the Orange Man, for all his many many faults, has legitimate concerns about crime and immigration.

i yield to no one in my hatred of the vicar of wakefield, which i have never read

I would like to march tomorrow but have organised nothing, so if any ILX comrades want to join me, HMU.

bad challop mark. it's good, she stoops to conquer is good and funny, and his poetry is good to.

she stoops to plonker more like (again i have not read it)

You can't even say conquers any more. That's what's wrong with this country.

because I’m bored and on the train, biggest self-owns, Goldsmith edition:

1) Oliver

His premature death in 1774 may have been partly due to his own misdiagnosis of his kidney infection.

At the 1997 Westminster parliamentary general election, Goldsmith stood as a candidate for the Referendum Party in the London constituency of Putney, against the former Conservative Minister David Mellor, MP, in an electoral contest in which Goldsmith polled 3.5% of the vote... The 1,518 votes that his candidacy had garnered had not in itself defeated the incumbent Mellor, who had lost by 2,976 votes; moreover it amounted to less than 5% of the total votes cast, this being insufficient for Goldsmith to retain the candidate's financial deposit of £500, a part of the 20 million pounds that he had reportedly poured into The Referendum Party in its brief existence.

Don't forget Harvey btw.

4) Harvey:

In August 2014, Goldsmith was one of 200 public figures who were signatories to a letter to The Guardian opposing Scottish independence in the run-up to September's referendum on that issue.[9]

The Goldsmiths' 2012 divorce proceedings made headlines in tabloid media as the first "Twitter divorce" for playing out on social media via posts on Twitter.

more on oliver, with a nice dril feel at the end:

He lived for a short time with his mother, tried various professions without success, studied medicine desultorily at the University of Edinburgh from 1752 to 1755, and set out on a walking tour of Flanders, France, Switzerland and Northern Italy, living by his wits (busking with his flute)

james and ben are both wife guys

Hate flutes tbf.

Maybe Oliver should have spent less time on the flute and more time studying medicine.

No wonder the NHS is in trouble.

don't let Universal Credit know when you've been busking your flute, they'll take every last penny back off you.

I thought “go whistle for it” was official DWP policy?
