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

i just literally can't

mind you i left the house for the first time in 3 or 4 days this morning and a walk round the block was a gruelling excursion into terror so my perspective may be askew

Loved Populous and later Black & White, which had so many bugs it was basically unplayable.

Dick Braine elected new leader of UK Independence Party

not for the first time amirite

too on the nose to be true

Is there cat truthing in the comments? Oh fucking yes there is! You’d think all the obsessive would st least recognise the very famous cat who was named in parliament by David Cameron?

Happy #InternationalCatDay!

Expecting more from you lot on the news about Tommy Robinson doing a line of Daz thinking it was cocaine and ending up in prison hospital

hmm.. goes to show when that wearing a t-shirt with Journalism written on it can sometimes trigger you into acting like a journalist!

just say no, kids

but srsly tho you hate to see it, get well soon wee man so another oap can punch your lights out

it would have to be the whiter than white soap powder of course.

i just get very triggered by games where the little people run around doing stuff without my say so. this may say something about my psychology.

this jittery fraud claims this but willingly submits to FM games now im asking, where's the credibility

That story is fake, alas.

excellent JC tweet with excellent cat resembling my childhood cat and a lot of garbage comments

PS I did play Populous with my finger constantly over the "pause" button, which is probably not how proper gamers play non-turn-based games, but it turns it conveniently into a game where nobody runs around too much without you micromanaging them

your main dude will of course step right into a swamp or decide to wander off into a desert/mountain range and starve half the time all the same

ive not read bravo two zero but iirc this is p much how the official review of that mission went

lol

Exclusive - Caroline Lucas throws down the gauntlet and offers to broker a government of national unity. It would be an all-female cabinet and aim would be to block no-deal Brexit. By me and ⁦@peterwalker99⁩ https://t.co/ZBu9OsW4da

LJ is out of the cabinet then :-(

I couldn’t forgive myself if we didn’t try everything possible to avert catastrophe of No Deal.

Everything apart from working with the actual opposition,. Embarrassing.

big vote leave no deal psi-op vibes off this initiative

No women from the Corbynite left wtf?!

The eco-LibDems are the real opposition though!

"Thornberry, Swinson, Greening and Sturgeon, as well as the Change UK MP Anna Soubry..."

she's a fucking joke.

There are some serious activists on the green left who will be angered by this move.

It's not going to happen so why do it?

playing the centre-right fantasy bench game is what marks you out as a grown-up?

Yvette Cooper in there again who is from a Leave constituency and has always been either completely lukewarm to opposed to a 2nd ref iirc.

The idea of Yvette Cooper is more powerful to these people than the reality of Yvette Cooper though.

Why spend time wondering about how you can convince people to either change their minds or turn out to vote when you could be writing Yvette Cooper fanfic instead?

No women from the Corbynite left wtf?!

So you’re putting Corbyn before country, before the very people Labour are supposed to waht to protect.

Labour aren’t a party of values anymore, they are a personality cult that’s going to help the Tories lead this country to ruin

I’m half tempted to stand against you for this

— Paul Singh (@Paul1Singh) August 11, 2019

You no longer represent the people of Hackney do you, you’re willing to sacrifice their jobs, their livelihoods, their future to ensure Corbyn remains leader of the Labour Party,

Second rate on every level,

The people of Hackney deserve better then you could ever offer them

Right this settles it, this fella is a total headbanger.

Can we persuade this guy to stand for Parliament? I need a laugh.

lol!

"neutral figure" yeah sure.

This reminds me of the time a bunch of Blairite snakes offered Jeremy Corbyn the opportunity to be ‘membership president’ or similar, possible Chuka-originated cunning plan.

Lucas cancelled then

I don't really understand what the Greens are actually for. Either be electable or be radical. Anyway no deal is good because decreasing economic activity is an environmental good etc

:/

doing her best to justify everything calzino was saying

I don't know who they are but they're a real dead ringer for Tories

as a seafaring scratty benefits desperado on a badly listing ship, I can smell a crypto-tory from a thousand yards.. ooh arr!

:/

doing her best to justify everything calzino was saying

― imago

I was vaguely pro-Lucas, but she doesn't really stand up to any scrutiny. Which is fine because she doesn't get any.

She's been successful largely by not really saying anything and not really offending anyone. What is it really, other than hessian identity politics?

On a local level, fine, but on a national level? Thats it?

Even if this is just a genuine error, not really enough credit in the bank. Planet is burning and you're more interested in a trade deal? Way to choreograph priorities. "Vote Green, the party of stopping no deal". Cancelled from all directions

Many Greens are people from town/rural Tory families who make loads of FB posts about endangered species and vegetarian issues but are generally about three drinks away from a halal meat rant.

They sold out when they decided to have a leader

dgmw, stopping no deal is probably important to the environmentalist movement in terms of maintaining unified standards (and of course, look at the crazed sociopaths who'll be setting the agenda now), but there are ways of going about it, and this is terrible, a total capitulation to the fbpe never-corbyn crew and a jarring performative-woke-but-actually-racist misstep

It's just headline-grabbing, deep down she must know it's unworkable.

Government of national unity feels almost pathetically counterproductive, it's extremely obvious that the Tories will come screaming back with a people-vs-politicians people-vs-elite-stitch-up message and this time it might actually cut through.

Perhaps, but there is such a thing as bad publicity when your entire ethos isn't grounded in cheap thrills and manipulative transgression. I fail to see how this could be parsed as anything other than a misstep.

xp

if Brexit has taught us anything it's that our classless society is all class consciousness all the way down

Fwiw as a visitor to your fine kingdom class dynamics are especially egregious here.
