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

no matter how bad things get in the next couple of weeks I'll always treasure the memories of Swinson's idiotic hubris and then the unfolding complete death of her political career in GE'19.

if MI5 have offed the queen to get this GE suspended I'm not going to be happy

Going down fighting

I just got asked who I would vote for by YouGov. This makes a change: normally they only ask me about things I know nothing about (like self-service coffee machines or financial services or TV programmes I've never seen).

Are we really gonna be doing Sombre Tie Watch for the next 24 hours?

**** Humongous Labour Policy just announced ****

• Labour will CUT RAIL FARES by 33% from this January
• This will save average commuters £1,096 a year
• Labour will introduce free rail for those under 16
• Labour will introduce a fair fare scheme for our part time workers pic.twitter.com/bdDMZiBDzH

They were getting criticism from environmental NGOs yesterday for not having any sort of plan for reducing carbon emissions from transport so that is a step in the right direction from that POV, albeit a fairly tiny one. Great policy overall though, but again they’re going to be pressed on how they’re going to fund it

Fare cuts under public ownership seem plausible. Fare cuts starting in Jan 2020 looks ambitious, to say the least.

btw is it normal strategy that these policies get dribbled out day by day (i guess to keep the vibes going)? because it can sometimes feel like they’re making it up on the hoof

twitter: queen dead apparently
me: *crossly tapping the mayan calendar yet again*

She doesn’t have to meet Donald Trump this week but what a fab excuse to cancel a NATO summit

"if MI5 have offed the queen to get this GE suspended I'm not going to be happy"

Grossmutter gestorben (Grandma has died) was the radio code (spoken in Heydrich's nasal high-pitched voice) to signal all is go for the Gleiwitz false flag operation. makes u think!

Do they really cook chips in dripping in the north of engerland?

Some chippies boast of it but imo it's not standard practice nowadays

even the army trained master chef and former cook to prince Andrew who runs my local chippy uses dripping.

Vegetable oil's probably cheaper and easier to store and handle, amongst other things.

People swear by animal fat cos of frying temp I think but I dunno if that pans out at chip shop scale/speed of turnover

"pans out" entirely subconscious I swear

I'm talking about the heavy woollen districts of West Riding here. One of the chippy's I go to has been there since the 50's. We aren't like you big city people with your newfangled vegetable oil!

They have a very oddly marketed Irish Curry sauce (with a leprechaun on a poster) possibly the current proprietors parents were Irish. It just tastes like standard chinese curry sauce tbh.

Trying to think what you could put in chip shop curry to Irish it up and I've got nothing

Guinness.

Was the obvious suggestion but I dunno how much of a call you'd get for black curry sauce

It's lovely eccentric little shop. They even have a normal little domestic fridge with the pop in it.

For hours afterwards, all I could taste was the grease after eating a few chips and a bit of a fish.
The whole experience was a negative one, and I fail to see how this shop has been in the same hands [Mother & Daughter] since the fifties.
Extremely rude person who owns the shop called Sheila, who fails to understand why anyone would ask her to put a fish back into the pan to have it well cooked.

Avoid.

lool!

Sheila otm, hope she told whoever wrote that to fuck off

It is literally a stones throw from where that godawful Cox murder happened a few years back. It's like an oasis of dripping in what is a lawless shithole at times tbh. I've never heard any heard any rudeness from Sheila. I have been in few dodgy situations in that area but I see Howies as a safe-zone and kid loves their greasy food.

Absolute chaos in Hull during the minutes silence on Saturday for the Queen pic.twitter.com/Wid4LnTXP3

Even the Tories in Hull don't give a fuck about the monarchy.

So sorry to hear about the sinking of the QE II. It was rather an antiquated vessel, but my thoughts and prayers go out to its crew and passengers.

some detail on how labour would fund the reduction in rail fares:

Labour’s shadow transport secretary, Andy McDonald, has been talking to BBC Radio 5 Live this morning, after the party announced plans to cut rail fares.

Asked to justify plans to use funds from vehicle excise duty that had formerly been earmarked for road-building to subsidise cheaper rail fares, McDonald said: “You cannot road-build your way out of a climate crisis.”

He added that concerns over the environmental emergency “is what will be delivering my thinking if I’m going to take over at the Department for Transport”.

The proposal would immediately reduce the price of season tickets and other regulated fares by a third, as well as simplifying the ticketing system across the country, according to Labour.

can't describe just how warm and fuzzy that sort of talk makes me

Oh, I assumed that tweet was a fake, I haven't seen this mentioned anywhere else.

That’s because before I’ve even had a cuppa this morning I saw the Tories’ poster about Corbyn being soft on terror etc etc yada yada

conservatives getting pelters for politicising this so quickly, particularly from the father of one of the victims

Don’t use my son’s death, and his and his colleague’s photos - to promote your vile propaganda. Jack stood against everything you stand for - hatred, division, ignorance. https://t.co/R8LO16lugk

Oh I see we’re back to “a subsidy for the middle class because people who are better off tend to use the trains more”. Like there isn’t cause and effect there. Cunts.

I'm sure they'll have no problems ignoring the father of a dead child if he's saying the wrong stuff and won't shut up about it - Blair was the past master of that.

Oh I see we’re back to “a subsidy for the middle class because people who are better off tend to use the trains more”. Like there isn’t cause and effect there. Cunts.

Londoncentric or what?

Was stuck at Blackfriars next to three lib dem canvassers, one whom was old and the mother of one of the others. Glad we were stuck and the evil old bag was struggling.

whither the season of goodwill, be kind offline folks

Lol

/Oh I see we’re back to “a subsidy for the middle class because people who are better off tend to use the trains more”. Like there isn’t cause and effect there. Cunts./

guys i quite literally took the train from cambuslang to partick this morning

i even got a seat, it was fuckin' lit

People use trains outside London! The trains in/around Manchester and the north east have been diabolical all year.

Yes, but you think the Tories are aware of anyone other than middle class commuters to London?

No seats on the coalition-era train. Just asking the architects of 5p plastic bags to own it.

xp sorry not awake enough to get what you were saying. Agreed, hope northern commuters take note.
