ForenSix Opposition - Politics in the Soon To Be Former UK in Autumn 2020

which are more expensive than you’d think, because of the cost of mining them

special toilet roll, if you hang it over your bed at night it catches your dreams and your fingers don't go through the paper. Got to say though the new Ocado partnership with M&S makes me wish I could afford a delivery from them every week, fucking love M&S food. yes now I'm bad as well!

I remember working on a Huntapac carrot line back in '92. When the line supervisor got out those marks & spencer bags, if you put a carrot that looked like a syphilitic cock into one of their hallowed bags ... you might get away with it once.

I stumbled into a Metro article about an expected surge in panic buying and difficulty with delivery slots.
It was full of uncaptioned photos of empty shelves from 6 months ago in order to boost the panic.

i can't see any reason why anybody would panic buy on the other hand there are people who think the rona is an illuminati conspiracy so

I don't know who starts it but it's like Katamari. Within days we'll all be caught in a rolling ever-expanding bog roll that won't stop until someone deflects us into the paracetamol or hand sanitizer levels.

the mad thing is everybody's been thru this now, they know the supermarkets will be open and stocked. panic is a weird thing, like you say, like a stampede

what will be the real doozy will be when the brexit transition period ends and the new panic-buying will be looting and the new police will be armed soldiers (fresh from the sprout plantations of North Wales and ready4action!).

The military will be too busy with the sprouts for a Normal Christmas so we'll need a private militia to replace the replacement rozzers.

Speaking of

I condemn wholeheartedly this erosion of global human rights standards and I am proud to be supporting this amendment, along with other @socialistcam MPs, laying out our opposition. pic.twitter.com/Qu9izS666Y

January's going to be the real motherfucker.

2021's going to be the real mf

be prepared

What if we are in the real mf now, and it just goes on forever?

well yeah also that

mf doom

End Times don't go on forever, the clue is in the name.

feeling a bit guilty about all the times i said 'lol we're all gonna die' in the ukpol threads now, sorry everyone i probably shouldn't have been using this monkey paw to type it out

Asking again since my last post didn't lead to any responses: zero covid strategy, practicable or not? I know it's academic - the govt won't do it - but would like to know...

Seems fine

SIGH

NEW : Internal border to be erected Kent

Gove confirms that truckers will have to have a Brexit passport to get permission to drive into Kent.

Those who don't have "Kent Access Permit" will be turned away by police using automatic number plate recognition, he tells house.

We need to go full Passport To Pimlico imo.

fuck driving to Pimlico

Fuck Pimlico in general, there’s nowhere good to eat there

it's got a lovely gallery

counterpoint: what have the burgundians ever done for us

Honestly I don't think it's credible given the country's geographic position and how contagious the virus is, it might have been an achieveable goal in Feb-March but it's too pervasive now.

This is what Kent deserves for voting Tory all the time

If there is to be a border with Kent, it should be drawn with a ruler by a brown guy who has never been there

"If there is to be a border with Kent, it should be drawn with a ruler by a brown guy who has never been there"

New Zealand is still struggling a little with zero Covid and they're remote islands with a very limited number of access points.

(Things Tories might've been right to worry about: alternate history PM Corbyn hastily signs deal to return NI in March)

🤔🤔🤔

Despite the same commitment in the Conservative manifesto none of this bill applies to Northern Ireland says @JohnHealey_MP

Yeah was about to post that, actually bleeding from the eyes and nose

That's the "protect our brave boys" bill?

Yes

I have a young autist in the house who seems to use quarter of a roll per dump sometimes, so I always bulk buy. I ordered 108 for 18.49 from an e-bay seller last month they didn't arrive within 2 and a half weeks after my payment, so I complained and they sent me 216 as a twofer goodwill gesture and as ruthless as I am I gave them a neutral feedback score!

Classic post

Yeah that is pretty hard to beat tbh. Just stunned appreciation when I read it.

i love that you can spot a calz post within five words

i feel like calz could post five words picked at random from the dictionary and it’d still somehow be obvious it was him

Otm all, magnificent work.

This, I have nothing to say. Good to see abstaining on the position of whether soldiers should be prosecuted for war crimes or not, that’s what I call #realopposition baby

DIVISION RESULT:
Second Reading of the Overseas Operations (Service Personnel and Veterans) Bill

AYES: 331
NOES: 77

The AYES have it. The AYES have it.
Majority of: 254. #OverseasOperationsBill

as usual it's much easier to list the principled MP's, the rest can go to hell.

Good on them!

I didn't even know Nadia Whittome had a junior role in the shadow cabinet. But good on her and FUCK STARMER and this sham of an opposition party. They don't deserve her.

🚨 BREAKING: #SameOldLabour just refused to back Britain's Armed Forces in Parliament 🥀

✍️ Our #OverseasOperationsBill will protect veterans from reinvestigations & vexatious claims, while ensuring victims always have access to justice.

this pusillanimous abstention game to desperately try and play to 1098 middle-class racists in Workington is never going to be as effective as just being .. genuine Tories. It's like when they abstained on the welfare bill, nobody who hated people on benefits really believed them and also the people they are supposed to be representing didn't care much about them either.

otm

Whittome didn’t quit, she was sacked.

labour briefing guido before they’d even told @NadiaWhittomeMP she’d been sacked is absolutely shameful. pic.twitter.com/hJcw1NdruE

Must be nice to be a hateful racist bigoted cunt, you have so many political homes (and media outlets) to choose from! Just being woo’d constantly and reassured that all your opinions are actually very correct and fair enough. What a life!

Nadia Whittome is my MP and I was so grateful to get someone like her after Piss Leslie defected. She's been treated like shit by the party.

Have you written to her, she's probably appreciate hearing that sentiment!
