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

A general strike would be embarrassing to the Johnson government but, imo, only if there was enough outright or tacit support from business. It’s not likely to happen but the Polish women’s strike a couple of years ago showed it’s not entirely impossible to imagine.

My umbrella broke but otherwise ready to HK dis ting

Nah gonna write to the Queen instead

In Poland.

I have thought for ages if any of these people were out on the street every weekend you’d see more fear from the government, but they’d rather concentrate their energies on abusing Labour and writing up fantasy frontbenches instead.

Lol at this moaning and groaning:

Totally wrong to prorogue Parliament. Everyone can see this for what it is, a grubby attempt to force No Deal. As Privy Cllr & MP, I cannot support putting the Queen in an impossible position & closing down debate. Take back control now = take away control https://t.co/6PvCK61hDn

wonder whether a tory resigns

When you hate Corbyn so much you’re running interference for something that is blatantly anti democratic

PM is *not* preventing anti-no-dealers from trying to legislate: they can do that next week

John Rentoul - The View From Beyond the Grave

As usual, no one will take to the streets.

Correction - you won't, Pom

Hve we forgotten March for Change already?

No, he’s right.

Hey Alphie, has it ever occurred to you… that you might be a bully and a troll?

20th October might be a good date for it - a year on since 700K+ on the streets. Otherwise I'm free whenever.

Pom you said that last week.

Why not now?

xp

stop bullying pom, julio -- it's incredibly boring

Yes, Pom is not Fred.

Is julio comrade alphabet’s actual name, cos ngl that’s a bit weird?

"Pom is not Fred" -- give it time

pomeo and julietul

^this is what I log on for

same

Moving on from fair Verona…

Forgive my ignorance, but is there a history of effective mass protests in this country?

Wouldn’t it be nice if there were groups with no bullying, rather than simply a different cast.

one man's bully is another mans standards control

dont want a race to the most sensitive either tbh

deems dudefully upholding the First ILX Amendment.

in living memory (mine):

—the miners strikes in the 70s broight down the tory government
—the 80s poll tax protests brought thatcher (if not the tories) down and, well, modified the nature of the council tax

in living memory (mine) ive to prob note that guerilla tactics seem likeliest

Define 'effective'

xyzzzz isn't a troll

anything can be trolling, there are no 'trolls'

""trolling""- has the meaning changed?

things done changed since poll tax riots, now disabled protesters are getting clocked with facial recognition systems and the spooks are reporting them to the dwp. God knows what else they are up to.

Lads can we all just ctfd, this is so fucking tedious.

deems, didn’t we use guerilla action cos we didn’t have the numbers or a real army?

Define 'effective'

mark's answers make the cut as far as I'm concerned.

i think we are actually all just posting as we usually do!

yeah, just like remain

i want to say that occupy in 2011 in the UK had consequences also (corbs as a leader with youth support may be one of them) but i'm quite ambivalent about some of its outfall so

Outfall Bhoy

😘

Before entering parliament I had truly never met the kind of people who game a system just for the sake of winning a game. I was not raised in a place where people genuinely want to prove they are the biggest big dog for being its sake. It's been a shock.

we live in a society, claims jess phillips in shock new twitter post

If Boris shuts down Parliament to carry out his No-Deal Brexit, I and other MPs will defend democracy.

The police will have to remove us from the chamber. We will call on people to take to the streets.

We will call an extraordinary session of Parliament. #PeoplesParliament

Poh-meh-NEE-tool.

It usually means something like 'the aforementioned' but is also used to evoke the dead.
