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

Xps re: settlement. My EU friends are doing the same, despite constant, er, reassurances from the government that it's all going to be fine. One says his colleagues in the same situation have read various things which are making them a bit panicky although he thinks it's fb/twitter generated bollox. Obv otm that this is all fucking ridiculous.

I'm kind of sick of hearing the word "deal." Enough fucking deals already.

I blame Noel Edmonds

welcome to britain

Blobby I recognize.

The more Johnson is trapped by Westminster, the more outlandish his nationalist gestures and rule-breaking instincts will get. He can win an election with 35% of the vote, and Farageists who despise Westminster can get him most of the way there.

Say the No Deal dogmatists get him to 25%. The remaining 10% comes from anti-Corbyn paranoia. And I can't stop thinking about this https://t.co/Qn2e7F4FRz

jeremy fernard corbyn, there

the only good corporate tweet

always good to suggest to a potential social media ally that they're cowardly

I went to Noel Edmonds house, when I was a young teenager, around the year 2000ish. My grandad ran an antiques business and we were delivering a chest of drawers and a wardrobe. Heavy as shit, and he was really rude to me as I struggled to help my grandad get it up the stairs. He had a life size blobby in his hallway and everywhere was covered in pictures of him with bland c list celebrities from the time (I remember asking “whose that” as he had like 5 with Keith Chegwin all grouped next to each other) but seemingly none of his own family.

A right cunt.

Corbz looking good in a chicken suit actually.

shades of Gene Wilder in Stir Crazy. Like Bush says - as soon as the election comes it's completely invalidated.

Expect more of this.

I think they (lame duck cooked goose turkeys voting for Xmas) will just transfer it to 'being too chicken to walk away without a deal' by then.

This is KFC not LBC don’t @ me. https://t.co/VOfnH5kb11

so boris is channeling the mirror chicken while dom is possessed by the malevolent spirit of blobby, mere mummers playing the part of puppets, the fowl and the foul

oh fuck

xpost

this culminates in JC wearing a chicken suit y/n

Corbz wearing a blobby suit is the logical end point

Sorry but that image just makes me think of the Dictators (ha!) and their estimable "Go Girl Crazy" album.

Remembering how chaotic everything was around the March deadline, it's incredible how easy it has been to get a bill passed mandating a second extension. Boris and Cummings trying to play bad guys for a second and the proroguing thingy really backfired.

Bill passed in the Lord's. Becomes law on Monday

And btw that is how to and that tricky question:

Anything less than seeing boris grovelling and eating shit will be a massive disappointment, hopefully this isn't all a part of some dastardly mr huge brain ruse.

perhaps Cummings didn't imagine the opposition organizing itself so well

Sun tzu advised him badly

I hope that chap who asked B to leave Morley never has to buy a pint or cup of tea for himself ever again.

Corbyn also had a great answer (xps to my accelerationist friend):

Such great minds

Sky News can reveal Boris Johnson described David Cameron as a "girly swot" in a redacted hand-written note which was shown in court this week

— Sky News Breaking (@SkyNewsBreak) September 6, 2019

so is Boris provoking conscience and rebellion where May didn't simply because May adhered to expected decorum and Boris uh does not? seems like that could be the main reason

gyac - 👍

Silby yeah that's a big chunk of it, but also May was trying - badly, but still - to get a deal voted thru, and Johnson is not.

TM was also having to turn a blind eye to rebels because of the numbers whereas BJ just deselected them all and is getting lots of grief from the One Nation type, esp those who’ve ignored their former principles to serve in his cabinet.

is that One Nation or Onanate Nation that Mr jerk at work represents? There really hasn't been One Nation Tories since the early 70's - they just try and keep it more polite whilst they murder the disabled and further impoverish the working poor.

Otm but it’s how they define themselves against the lilico and headbanger types

so... is his only play (short of resignation) to bring back may’s deal and force people to vote for it at threat of no deal ? some suggestion he can’t go for no deal now because he would be pursued in the courts - but... would that not take time ?

I enjoyed this bit about the demise of toryism and James butler is one of the more readable pundits despite the overly present i-went-to-oxford-isms (I don't know if he really went to Oxford, but it's a style of writing)

The weird “girly swot” jibe reminds me of this:

The relationship with Cameron today is said by friends of the mayor to be in “really good” shape in spite of the public sniping and clear rivalry between the two. Johnson, three years senior to Cameron, still harks back to their days at Eton when he was elected to Pop, the school prefects, whose members are elected by incumbent prefects in the year above, and Cameron was not. At a recent Pop reunion, Johnson entered the room with his hand on brow as if searching for the prime minister and calling: “Where’s Dave?”

Butler and Seymour seem to be reconditely duking it out there over who will be the apprentice Perry Anderson :0

Xp What a feckin eejit. One of the born to rule corollaries that the great unwashed of this country never seem to consider is how these twits are all essentially children for whom this is all a consequence-free game. These are the most irresponsible, feckless know nothings imaginable. They know nothing about the world they presume to govern. They know little of the cause and effect principle that children learn in the cot because nothing they do is, for them, irrevocable. Is this generation currently strutting the boards worse than ever on this front? (A quick glance at Churchill say suggests not) the ever more present cameras reveal a class of people who are supremely juvenile. I hate knowing about their silly little childish games. For most of us those are just the things we have to just get over, it sickens me that their little mirror-stage egos and playground dramas are structuring the very real political and social realities we have to fucking live in.
