PMs change and lol we're all gonna die (but brexit will never end)

normal brain: just destroying all this good lamb will be bad when the need for foodbanks is accelerating
galaxy brain: repurpose the jubilee hilltops beacon system to bring the nation together in a one-off barbecue lamb kebab feast!
cosmic brain: then proceed to wickerman-style ppl-kebab barbecue to propitiate the climate gods and pare down the gold top hats…

"Yorkshireday" is a Richard Curtis film about a man who wakes up after an accident and realises he is the only person in the world who remembers Shed Seven.

obviously this doesn't exactly give him a back catalogue equivalent to the Beatles, but he thinks laterally and makes a respectable career as a journalist touring unpleasant towns and talking to the locals about racism.

i'm on record as being fully in the tank for post-brexit cannibalism so i'm on board with this 100% xp

xp lmao, that's perfect

to celebrate Yorkshire Day I've been burning some garden waste and sneaking loads of toxic polymers, plastics and polystyrene in there and flooding my neighbours with carcinogenic black smoke. Happy fuck off die day from me!

imago...otm?

Revisit this please.

The move, announced by Sajid Javid, the chancellor, is designed to show Brussels that the UK is ready and willing to countenance leaving without a deal in three months’ time.

Javid: we’re spending £2.1 billion on an advertising campaign to show Europe how hard we’ve decided to punch ourself in the balls if they keep being polite to us

Europe: ...well, at least you’re not wasting this time.

xp

it's sorted. tactically voting for the LibDems is not otm

👍

It's a "boost", a "turbo charge", it's "getting things done". It may be bollocks (it is) but our craven press love having their copy written for them.

ministers trailing an early october emergency ND budget ? where’s that thread about cummings strategy on getting parl to vote down a budget as a show of no confidence before parlaying that into a election ?

a meme template in the making

Party Chairman @JamesCleverly with the ⏰

✍ We will deliver Brexit by October 31st.

Well there's no way that's going to get embarrassing.

Luv 2 see daily countdowns to my 39th birthday, cheers Brexit

If it's any consolation you and all the rest of us will be dead before you hit 40.

lol we're all gonna die celebrate will's 39th birthday

I hope you've asked for an underground bunker, 500 cans of food and a Smith & Wesson.

Tbh I'm expecting the party to resemble that Mitchell & Webb 'Don't mention the event' sketch

our very good friends on the French thread find our discussion too insular and provincial, not to mention too mindlessly left wing, I hope this gives us all pause

i'll have them know that i'm just the right amount of mindlessly left wing thx

I notice they're also talking as if the English and the British are indivisible. Nice work there, guys.

I will look for the French thread later, gotta keep working that lot into shape.

too mindlessly left wing

Not quite what was said, but this is telling.

we need more Joylon style parlour room arch smugness on here ffs

Anyhow, I'm sure you'll sort it all out on your own.

Have I been b& from the French thread cos I can’t see anything updated recently idgi

They don't like Anglo-Saxons there, so you're out.

xp

it's sorted. tactically voting for the LibDems is not otm

I’m not one of them...

In fact I am technically a quarter French if you look back far enough (lol Normans)

Here you go, gyac:

Nous voilà enfin débarrassés de tous ces amateurs

The Union Jack tankies get their safe space, and us esperanto-speaking Sorosist EU shills get ours.

I’m not one of them...

Neither am I.

playing for an invite into le salon des nitwits :p

C'est de bonne guerre.

It's less a question of whether you'd rather have them as an MP (I'm in a very safe Labour seat so it's irrelevant for me) but seats going from blue to yellow could prove very handy in depriving the Tories of a majority, or indeed help make Labour the largest party. But people just don't trust them not to team up with the Tories anyway, although even that might actually kill hard Brexit as an option and that's a non-negligible improvement upon what we currently have.

Obviously I'm not suggesting people actually vote for pro-austerity parties and I don't think I could do that with a clear conscience, even tactically.

Anyway after October 31 we'll be password-protecting this thread preventing anyone from across the Channel being able to access it.

Ty pom, that board is on web but not zing for me (is it new?)

Anyway the only point I raised my eyebrow about was the notion that the peace process never got brought up - like it does and also almost everyone itt knows everyone else’s views on the subject. We don’t need to keep repeating stuff for the benefit of dabblers.

We could actually find ourselves in a situation where Swinson is the only party leader prepared to defend the coalition's record, which would be hilarious.

Not quite what was said, but this is telling.

if you don't know where they're coming from then I can see this would seem like a stretch

xp will those of us who can snuggle the info out to fellow citizens get threadbanned?

genuinely unsure as to whether there's a typo there

LDs rather than Tories, that's a given. I mean I wouldn't go as far as saying Nazi Party rather than Tories but...

Oh ffs just deport me already

looking at holistic solutions for this near dead patient, they are both the same disease imo. I couldn't bring myself to give LD a vote if someone put a gun to my head.

if you don't know where they're coming from

Goes both ways, don't you think?

I'd vote UKIP if it meant a Tory lost their seat tbh.

If your constituency was a marginal, though? Zac Goldsmith won his seat back with a margin of 45. How would you vote if you’d lived in Richmond Park in 2017?

it's a toughie I suppose. I didn't even start voting until 2015 so wtf do i know?

Goes both ways, don't you think?

no!

Then we're likely not talking about the same thing.
