Ne'er get thee stitched til Booris be ditched: UK General Election 2019

Between this and the oven chips, he’s showing up himself as very common/basic bitch for an OE.

Tea prep: pour boiling water into clean mug, wait 30 seconds, discard water. Add tea bag, pour in more boiled water. Wait about a minute before removing bag with spoon. DO NOT SQUEEZE BAG, that’s declassé. Add milk to taste. SO EASY, EVEN A DAMN YANKEE CAN DO IT.

tea is foul and strictly for the olds imo

tbf the best teas i drink are at the house of a chinese client, everything they've served me, whether green/pale or mongolian milk tea has been superlative. there's also a cafe nearby that does a great gen mai cha

I think I basically don't really like tea any more but I drink six cups a day because I've got to do something with my time

Why is jasmine tea so hard to come by on this here isle? No wonder you pooh-pooh the stuff.

Hot is the devil’s temperature.

Coffee is foul and strictly for cunts. And the same goes for every tea but bog standard supermarket shite.

lady grey is the best 'English' one obv

osmanthus >>>>>> jasmine. find a chinese shop

I’ve been making a strong cup of Yorkshire Tea with full-fat milk and then adding a capful of rosewater at the end. I call this invention the ROSIE LEE for obvious reasons.

coffee is good

what is wrong with you all

find a chinese shop

Alas, I don't live in London.

you live in the london of the inner west

T2 is as good as it gets here. It's… decent enough.

I am writing this while drinking a really nice flat white, who says I’m not versatile?

After drinking coffee you have to drink something else just get rid of the taste and the stench on your breath.

literally found three Chinese chops in Oxford without even trying, even if some of them are pest-ridden

Black coffee is best (I'm sensing a pattern here).

Teabag into mug
Pour in boiling water
Add just the right amount of milk
Squidge the bag against the side (using a strong spoon) until the tea is just the right shade of brown
Remove bag

Am I doing it wrong then?

*BJ cannae maek a cuppa* is the logical end point of the blustering through the campaign I was on about earlier. I think not even a tea cock-up will change anyone's mind about voting for him tbf.

If you catch me drinking tea it means I'm either deathly ill and/or have lost the plot.

Nothing. xp

there's only one drink

it's buckfast

I learned my tea-making from a mad English scientist brought up in Edwardian splendour, and he would be apoplectic to find milk and bag in a cup/mug at the same time.

otm

xp

tea bores are the worst. who gives a shit

Pom, this place in Covent Garden will ship to you, can vouch for the quality of the tea

(I don’t drink black tea, but every so often will make one of these blends)

Thanks, much appreciated!

I'll try the pest-ridden version as well for comparison's sake.

In all seriousness, though, I think I'll try their pu-erh. It's been too long.

*kombucha grenade*

If anyone wants tea you can likely get at Guangzhou airport, you have about 24 hours to place your orders.

RIP john curtice

Hope that's true asap

This blog isn’t saying anything that you wouldn’t read in this thread, but it says it in one place.

What a terrifying crowd. We all know our Prime Minister is a man of boundless courage but it's perfectly clear why he couldn't possibly have gone ahead with his visit under these harrowing circumstances. He must be utterly distraught. https://t.co/wTo4yuBGDe

The Labour Party is committed to maintaining & extending Freedom of Movement rights. But the Tories will remove those rights from the EU 3 Million. We will maintain them. 1/2

The Tories break up families by barring spouses of British citizens, via an income requirement. Labour will scrap it, and extend Freedom of Movement rights to all those legally entitled to be here, including our own citizens among others. 2/2

I can’t believe David Cameron is out canvassing in marginals! Who thought that was a good idea?!

it's a great idea, he should be out there 24/7 reminding the country what he brought to politics and contributed to the social fabric of the uk

that howupsetting piece gyac posted is really good - thx for sharing

guessing the ocean rayn pun is all over the comments but there you go

"The Labour Party is committed to maintaining & extending Freedom of Movement rights. But the Tories will remove those rights from the EU 3 Million. We will maintain them."

there you are, pom :)

I'm pomenitul and I approve this message.

a rousing pre-election message from a politically-engaged citizen of these sceptred isles

The Brexit party leader Nigel Farage says he does not expect to vote in the general election. According to the Press Association, there will be no Brexit party candidate in the Tory-held Kent seat where he votes (presumably Sevenoaks, where he had his family home), and he does not want to vote Conservative. He told reporters: “I doubt I’ll vote. I very much doubt I’ll vote.”

Get him Jon

So @MichaelGove, can you explain why you retweeted in support of a man who made a joke about Jewish people wearing Star of David armbands, who alluded to Jewish blood libel about Israelis stealing Arab babies, who says homosexuality is a sin, and says Islam’s a problem in the UK? https://t.co/mIlM4qtgSr

Only just saw this, and just...

EXC: Jo Swinson tells the FT she would sooner push the UK into another general election than put Jeremy Corbyn or Boris Johnson into Downing Street in the event of a hung parliament. https://t.co/gbQEsPtCeD

— Laura Hughes (@Laura_K_Hughes) November 13, 2019

Asked whether she would back Mr Corbyn in a confidence vote aimed at forming a minority Labour government, Ms Swinson suggested her party would either reject him or abstain.

“Look, Liberal Democrat votes are not going to put Jeremy Corbyn into Downing Street,” she said in an interview with the Financial Times. “He is not fit to do that job.”

Asked if she would therefore prefer to move straight to another election, Ms Swinson replied: “I would, yes. I would rather go into another election than see Boris Johnson or Jeremy Corbyn in that position [of prime minister] as a result of Lib Dem votes.”

She's saying that now...

guys, i've gotta be honest, i don't think i like jo swindon
