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

For some extra poststructuralist (if this anglocentric term is to be maintained) fun, Derrida's The Beast and the Sovereign seminar is also very much worth delving into, even if you're averse to his usual, nearly untranslatable style. He did not lecture quite as he wrote.

and i'm pretty sure both them cunts would have been FBPE

lol

The relevantly christened Pound would've repped for Tommy Robinson.

hey, he was a frothing antisemite but he was the PEOPLE's frothing antisemite

and at least he wasn't some bank manager looking motherfucking like his compadre Thomas Stearns

in today's Tories Aren't Bad People They Just Make Mistakes news, liz truss apologises for illegally selling arms to saudi arabia in a classic relatable blunder. “The Government Legal Department has today informed the Court of Appeal of two inadvertent breaches. I have apologised to the Court unreservedly for the error in granting these two licences.”

figure in this article for £5.3 billion in UK arms sales to SA since the war in yemen started in 2015

You mentioning Bataille lead me to this charmingly '97-styled site, which should keep me busy for some time.

everybody needs to read The Accursed Share altho i take no responsibility for the consequences

SOLAR ANUS

Swinson seems almost entirely tactical with no strategic sense whatsoever. Either that or she's deluded enough to believe she could actually become PM.

That site is a proper madeleine, LBI!

N'est-ce pas?

le bataille eve

and i'm pretty sure both them cunts would have been FBPE

personally i would like to go with

There are the Alps. What is there to say about them?
They don't make sense. Fatal glaciers, crags cranks climb,
jumbled boulder and weed, pasture and boulder, scree,
et l'on entend, maybe, le refrain joyeux et leger.
Who knows what the ice will have scraped on the rock it is smoothing?

There they are, you will have to go a long way round
if you want to avoid them.
It takes some getting used to. There are the Alps,
fools! Sit down and wait for them to crumble!

but hey nonny nonny

I'm in the dark as to his politics, though.

he was a Quaker, i've always assumed he was a lot less fascist than EP but he was an uber-modernist and that did do funny things to peoples' brains

talking of EP tho the Canto where Churchill eats shit in hell is top fucking level

Calling him, Roosevelt and Eden 'bastards and small Jews' kind of offsets the jouissance of digging into them tho.

yeah i know he makes me v sad :(

not really cool with his anti-Taoism either

At least he was no Steve Bannon.

its taoi-seach

i can't do the "ccccchhhhhhhhhh" sound and i'm a smoker so

There's not some endles guttural drag. It's just a k sound but you don't fully close your tongue to the roof of your mouth and let a little air through

It shouldn't be full of hoarded phlegm

xp I resent this implication

This is a general rule of thumb for pronouncing Irish. When there's a "h" after a consonant you leave a gap between the parts of your mouth that would ordinarily make the sound. Instead of bringing your lips together to make an "m" sound you leave a gap and get a "w" sound for "mh"

That's pretty much the mystery of the wacky "b=v ?" Thing that people freak out about

“skin color” what were the other options

xp I guess it’s wacky if you refuse to understand that a different language has its own rules

That’s a super helpful explanation, thanks plax!

i never thought i'd live to see my slashfic come to life but here we are

i have a horrible tin ear for languages, i used to have a video clip of Jean Cocteau talking the brokest English in a beautiful intentional fashion and i've always wanted to achieve the same effect in the other direction but for some reason i think English is the only language susceptible to this, if you fuck your accent for most other languages it just becomes unintelligble

i do a decent Ulster Prod tho, god help me

Is this stuff cutting through beyond the usual suspects on social media? I mean running away from meetings and press conferences isn't a good look but hey it's only with Eurocrats.

Same question but for "privileged pain"

Classic bit of banter from the website that is like the onion but for people with literal shit for brains

surely the entire strategy is maximize the gammonization and on that level nothing cuts thru, from my hot seat on the gammon front i can assure y'all that the only thing that will undercut him is the Brexit party

Someone was reading the metro on the bus today and there was a headline in there ridiculing Johnson for fleeing

I guess i meant it's helpful to understand an underlying logic and a good mnemonic?

don’t really care about be court case but hope the government loses and they have to reopen parliament - if only because it will hopefully cut down on the amount of shite posted itt due to silly season

i do a decent Ulster Prod tho, god help me

we was at the carpark for the causeway one time and when the carpark dude told us it was five pound i just echoed him full Paisley by accident and then felt like a cunt for the rest of my life

xxp sorry not referring to you, but shite like the daily mash article linked up thread. Weirdly this is only ever a discussion I’ve had irl with “liberals”.

"FIVE PIND???"

if only because it will hopefully cut down on the amount of shite posted itt due to silly season

yeah don't get yr hopes up is basically how i break it down to an extent

Can't see them losing this court case - which is a pity because there'd be all manner of fun if they did.

it's a nonsense, i don't see any way that the prorogation isn't legit, the problem is elsewhere and you know boohoo they strongarming ma queen

Those people doing the Robocop and Hulk up there ^^^^ - Who are they? Who organises it? Who makes all those papier mache heads that appear for five seconds on the six o'clock news?

Commence speculation

Source at #LDConf tells me another defection is rumoured for this afternoon. In the leader's speech?! Would have to be pretty big if so...
