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.

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

Do not prorogue Parliament
76,430 signatures in the last hour

this petition will definitely be the one that stops brexit for sure

Still trying to keep his job:

Unless Corbyn commits to opposing an early election until an extension has been secured, there will still be a risk of No Deal Brexit going ahead on 31 October.

Boris Johnson could lose his seat, too.

NEW: Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn has written to the Queen to express his concerns about Boris Johnson's plan, and asked to meet her along with other privy counsellors

S Bush and others convinced this is a move to have a pre-Brexit people-vs-parliament election on their terms, as it is just about the only way out for the Tories now.

But that will take 2/3 majority and I’m starting to wonder if Labour will play along. If they refuse the election on these terms (eg by saying not unless there’s an extension first) that leaves the Tories in a tough place: either No Deal — likely followed by election at worst possible time — or they have to ask for an extension on their own initiative, after all the big talk about No Deal.

It's happening:

The best and indeed only solution to Brexit remains a compromise. Parliament should not be suspended. I will vote against a no-deal Brexit because it would be damaging, divisive and unnecessary. We can do much better. Looking forward to seeing some of you in Sunderland at 2 pic.twitter.com/V9fRqRkwmZ

Of the only solutions available I guess I agree it's the best.

Pretty good on what Boris is up to (basically what stet was saying):

Eye roll on all that populist stuff at the end. It's cold hard calculation to win power. Politicians posting as they always do.

I've been a supporter of the monarchy all my life.

It's constitutional back-seat is efficient and historic. It has always served democracy by serving only process.

I am feeling very republican today though.

If the Monarchy isn't able to block dictatorship, we need a change.

Would be very hard for Jeremy Corbyn, the leader of Britain’s Labour Party, to seek a no-confidence vote against New Prime Minister Boris Johnson, especially in light of the fact that Boris is exactly what the U.K. has been looking for, & will prove to be “a great one!” Love U.K.

xp you have no idea how upset I am he didn’t misspell or nickname him

The quote-marks-for-emphasis is a "Your uncle texting" trademark that I've been surprised not to see before now.

the idea of queen liz as a doddering half deaf Marshall Petain type hate figure to the radicalised FBPEers is fucking hilarious, they'll be calling for her to be executed by the end of the day.

If Combryn cannot win over the Emma Kennedys then he will be personally responsible for the disappearances under the upcoming BJ government of national impunity

among other signs, correctly spelling Labour is a tell that he did not write that one

I have never felt more like a new Canadian than today when I already knew what proroguing meant
