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

woke carswell, welcome to the #resistance

Boris Johnson is a fucking stalker, though - one of my posh friends told me she witnessed him casually turning up at the flat of her posh Tory journalist friend uninvited, in pursuit of a hookup, while she was over at the flat. Then he would turn up at the pub she was in with invited friends, after having taken pains not to invite him (or talk about the plans). My friend who was there said he frightened her because she thinks he’s empty inside and something important is missing from his psyche.

The stalked woman is now married to another prominent socially-awkward Brexit mastermind - this happened around 10 years ago.

Not sure we need inside stories to surmise that "something important is missing from his psyche"...

The more the, er, merrier though.

Oh fab, a story wPC.

My friend had to deal with him on multiple occasions; none of us have. Am I wrong to feel minimised after telling a group about a man exhibiting stalker behaviour?

good

Enjoyed this quite a bit.

I don't get too excited about polls but think it worth noting the last ones from Survation, Opinium, ComRes, BMG, Panelbase, IpsosMori all have Labour polling well ahead (most of them 10 pts) of the LibDems, it's only on the YouGov polls where there has been a 10 pt surge for them.

I think some of the latest desperate Corbyn smear headlines are a reaction to their own secret internal polls not looking very fucking good for them. A quietly confident conservative party wouldn't shit their pants in that fashion.

what the fuck is ‘flavible politics’

Hi @IslingtonLibDem

Although we love the publicity. We have to chime in for the sake of clarity. The constituency projections are ours

We have no affiliation with @YouGov and simply use the results of their polling once released with our projection methodology and show via map

could do with some more seasoning.

Lol, the Conservatives (who are explicitly pro Brexit) couldn’t poll 20% in Islington North but the Brexit party will? Do they even Islington North?

Haven't read the Bastani book but it's nice to see a serious critique of it from the left.

they've steamrollered it, took a shit on it and then forced him to eat it more like!

tbf I shouldn't knock a hipster left shit pancake until I've tried one!

xps to gyac

yep, that poll makes no sense and is a complete fantasy.

lol, the idea of a Farage surge on the doorsteps of Islington North and Brexit Party polling at 21.3% is so ridic it isn't worth ....

normal

god i wish i was driven home for a nap every afternoon

Quietly comforting that the ruling class are clearly shitting themselves.

xp same, sick of taking the bus

I just want to thank you all for subsidising my daily afternoon naps by paying for my ill gotten benefits :p

TACTICS: The Mail reports on a bloke at #Glastonbury wearing a ‘I ❤️ Brexit’ t-shirt not getting the abuse he expected. The bloke “wished to stay anonymous” according to the article.

Except. It’s the Mail journo himself. The same journo who wrote the article. pic.twitter.com/RJuTXXOfin

lol, mail reporter caught out trying to make a bs story about himself as the "anonymous" "I love brexit" shirt wearer at Glastonbury.

Should’ve gone with Maoist and then they could have made that Gang of Four reference actually work.

"Except. It’s the Mail journo himself. The same journo who wrote the article."

can't help reading this line in a Donald Trump voice tbh!

truly the spirit of gonzo journalism lives on at the daily mail

Bloke at Glastonbury wearing a "Did You Spill My Pint?" T-shirt fails to get into fight

More like, "Did you spill my Pimms?" amiritecomrades?

The overall picture is not of a great hero of socialism, but rather somebody who has found an audience and is milking it. We should not mistake his hammed-up invective for actual conviction or genuine commitment to the movement which he seems determined to undermine through repeated antisemitic behaviour.

this is good and correct unlike the editorial in that shitrag the Morning Star t'other day.

That is a good article - I have to say my knee jerked a bit at that quoted part, as it, like Comrade Alphabet yesterday, seemed to suggest that if he was a better leftist, this would be fine. But the rest of the article is very clear that's not the case.

Also I didn't know (until I heard from the MoS) that Stalinist Control means "actually it's other people really in charge!"

"like Comrade Alphabet yesterday, seemed to suggest that if he was a better leftist, this would be fine."

When did I suggest anything about CW?

You're absolutely right, that was lazy and stupid of me and I should have checked my memory before shooting my mouth off, my apologies - I was referring to the libcomorg tweet you reposted yesterday, but you were only reporting to engage with the part of it unrelated to what I was talking about.

On a quiet day..

Lol more than two days ago but I saw it on the main page, hanging there

https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2019/jun/27/hunts-pledge-to-reduce-corporation-tax-will-cost-13bn-a-year

It's a good indicator of how little corporation tax actually gets paid that cutting it from 19% to 12.5% would only cost £13bn.

they'll be offering free milk for millionaires next.

the Mail thing from yesterday is stupid, in the text of the article it refers to the shirt-wearer as "our reporter" and the "Londoner who wished to remain anonymous" was someone who talked to him and is quoted in the article. I love a good "gotcha" but that just isn't one.

Are you sure this wasn't an edited version you read after the fool had the shit ripped out of him?

lmao at this incredibly tepid endorsement of jeremy cunt

Dan Dalton, who was a Conservative MEP until he lost his seat in the Euro elections this spring, has said that he is now backing Jeremy Hunt having originally started as a Boris Johnson supporter. He said:

All Conservatives agree that we have to deliver Brexit before the next general election, but to actually do it will need considerable skill, compromise and flexibility.

Of the two candidates in front of us, I have gradually come to the conclusion that Jeremy Hunt is the one more likely to do that. I do not say that lightly. I started this campaign as a Boris Johnson supporter, and he has many qualities, but having worked in Brussels throughout the Brexit negotiations, I just do not see how his strategy can work, whereas Jeremy Hunt’s might.

And he wonders why he lost his seat.

more free money (£6bn) pledged for our fishing + farming industries when business experts are saying manufacturing will be fucked much harder by a no-deal brexit.

Yes, but those were the stupid cunts who voted Brexit so must keep them sweet.

Hunt's campaign is really pitching hard for tepid, unenthusiastic support, cf the official campaign slogan "has to be Hunt"
