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

aye don't think JS will realistically lose her seat, just idly fantasising - 5% swing needed, and you'd have to think the CON and LAB (unionist/remainer) bloc would collapse into LDs not SNP

we’ve been over this with the swinson fanfic posted upthread - iirc it all ends with her standing resolutely in the rain outside buckingham palace after an election and the queen invites her in for a cuppa and asks her to be pm

then corbyn is dissolved in acid &c &c

(xxp) She's lost the seat before, remember.

2015 election was a trip but. unionist voters showed a wee bit more nous next time round

Labour voters, what's left of them, should vote SNP just to get her out.

She is an active campaigner against packaging of chocolate Easter eggs, and each year from 2007 saw Swinson attack confectionery manufacturers for what she sees as excessive packaging of the seasonal goods. She has named Guylian as the worst offender, followed by Lindt, Baileys and Cadbury.

they willnae but

We'll see.

In the area of employment, she was supportive of both zero hours contracts and flexible working, seeking to promote the latter especially. On minimum wage, in February 2013 Swinson joined calls by other ministers to warn that "caution" was required when increasing it any further amid claims that minimum wage could be cut or frozen if it began costing jobs.

minimally-packaged easter eggs and utterly craven corporate bootlicking: a few of jo swinson’s favourite things

https://tribunemag.co.uk/2019/07/the-same-old-lib-dems this is good but extremely depressing

nah seriously this is the kind of grown-up corrective ilx's deluded tankies need

just trying to think of what Cable's "erotic spasm" actually means again is enough to depress me to dignitas levels of despair.

Barry Gardiner’s son signed for Wycombe Wanderers today. He has previously played for Zenit St Petersburg.

his dad! Great Fergie anecdote

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Gardiner_(footballer,_born_1911)

Gardiner returned to Queen's Park after his playing career and taught a young Alex Ferguson, Ferguson had complained that an opponent had bitten him during the game and Gardiner told Ferguson to "bite him back". Gardiner became president of the club in the 1960s.

Didn't want to bring that up meself ^^, but I'm fairly certain I speak on behalf of the *huge* (..) ILF massive that we welcome you for deliberations and shit-posting on next seasons' EP thread, Gyac!

I like shitposting but I already live with one Spurs fan, not sure I could cope with a whole thread of ye

oof

one british open and a few hurling trophies and the lip curls up easy enough but

A burn more solid than Spurs' back four.

Nah I don’t mean it like that! Just that the emotions are too much for me in multiple...

look youve said your piece and we'll see you out there at kick off *doesnt shake hands*

El Clasico <3

xp excuse you, I am a good wife and supportive of the other half when his team wins, and my own mother has adopted Spurs as her second team. So if you would not...

*loses ffs, why would I need to be supportive when Spurs win

I like shitposting but I already live with one Spurs fan, not sure I could cope with a whole thread of ye

It's no picnic for the rest of us, let me tell you.

*dragged away from gyac, makes "mouthing" gestures with hand, points to tunnel*

No-one needs that much Spurs in their lives. Enough's enough.

xp to gyac obv

No no, I think it has wider applications.

Well, Tripier's gone, reducing 'wider applications' by quite a margin tbf

grovelling lickspittle Hancock at it again, clear case of physiognomic determination because he looks like a classic toady. He had a furious argument with May who forced him to put the paper out and threatened to take his dept heading off it. can't be upsetting boris :0=

Hey if he's lucky he'll be demoted before he gets the chance to take any shit for it.

Toady is the prefect description of him, with emphasis on toad.

Before today gets really mental I just want to post this very good thread:

[Thread] My book focuses a lot on Blairism and I've interviewed several key New Labour figures as part of my research. I've been reflecting on his premiership today https://t.co/vAVFxHfpFo

as prof D Edgerton says in Rise & Fall of the British Nation, people became so blindingly determined to get the Tories out, a lot of them didn't notice they were voting another set of tories in. With the huge mandate he had iirc Blair's first acts were monstering single parents + cutting their benefits and then going far more aggressively with NHS PFI's than even John Major thought was permissible. I think one of his choice quotes at time was along the lines "you could build a new hospital a week with what them feckless scroungers get".

there was a significant spend on tax credits and things were much better than they are now in terms of working/child poverty, homeless services, youth services etc a sort of paternalist One Nation Thatcherism. But their true ruthless, nasty Thatcherite colours started to show through after the crash.

feeling again this morning at the certainty of prime minister boris johnson popping into number 10 tomorrow

lol we're all gonna die

... of embarrassment, if nothing else.

I was talking this nutcase in the park this morning. And he says you know what is coming next in this country? And I thought he was going to say a neolib dictatorship with half the brittania unchained lunatics in key positions in the cabinet. No he says Socialism, and he didn't mean a Corbyn government. So possibly he has a slight misunderstanding of socialism means!

TS Nutcase in the Park vs. Man in Pub.

I voted Labour in 1997 still half convincing myself that Blair's position was at least partly a PR act or that he'd be balanced out by the Party's left. That was the last time I voted Labour in a GE for 20 years.

Nigel Evans, the Conservative backbench MP, told the BBC: “The only thing that’s certain is that Larry the Cat is going to stay in place as the Downing Street cat.

“Prime ministers come and go, Larry remains in place.”
