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

when it comes to spending money on actual people let's just pretend we live in literally pre-medieval times when credit didn't exist. when it comes to hedge funds though? let the derivatives fuckin fly!! CDOs? that's child's play, kid

I've seen it suggested that car finance might be the next derivatives bubble, even if you are poor as fuck I bet it would be easier to get a car on finance than a bank loan or an overdraft extension. Here! seeing as we aren't talking household budgets here, have two cars mate!

The household metaphor thing is standard simplify it for the plebs austerity 101 stuff. Absolutely shameless bollocks.

In a work call this morning someone said 'I hear Rishi is trying to confiscate Boris's credit card hahaha' which is so funny because we all have jobs and stuff and no-one is throwing us out of our houses.

*disconsolately waves battered miniature union jack*

The sad thing about Starmer and the PLP's pivot from PV to voting for Boris' deal is that we'll now have a much harder brexit than the one Corbyn proposed with none of the radical and transformative policies that would bring forth a new settlement for the people in this country

Realise opinions vary here, but Novara is pretty much the only political discussion media I can stomach at the moment. James Meadway was great last night on Kberg's economic illiteracy and Dr Bastano's interview with Dave Edgerton from last week is outstanding (not only for DE's awesome bookstrewn room)

I like a bit of Dave Edgerton and a few of his books (britain's war machine, shock of the old, rise + fall of the british nation), he is a bit of an fbpe ultra at times, but he certainly isn't full of shit.

I don't watch much Novara tbh, too many of them (even though I agree with their politics) they do my nut in!

"keir starmer vote of no confidence"

About 209,000 results (0.43 seconds)

great that should be enough!

lol it's just pantomime season stuff but Thornberry has absolutely pounded an ashen faced Truss over her bulshitting about the difference between UK-Japan/EU-Japan deals, it's pretty funny really.

If unsure what the tiers mean are then read below :

Tier 1 - Pints
Tier 2 - Pints with chips
Tier 3 - No Pints

Tier 4 - Fuck yr pints, cunt.

Good, I was worried about missing out on pints.

I'm just going to calmly carry on drinking red wine out of a pint glass whilst eating fuckin' chips

^you have broken tier law and have been visited by a powerful (and very upset) kieth. please visit your local cop shop at the earliest opportunity

Downing Street tried to get doses of the Oxford University coronavirus vaccine labelled with an image of the union jack, it has been reported.

No 10’s newly formed “Union unit”, which is tasked with combating calls for Scottish independence and other campaigns to break up the UK, had wanted injection kits to bear the flag, according to the Huffington Post.

Good job guys get your fleg all over the 'half dose first we think we're not sure why but it might work' vaccine that'll stop people voting for independence.

John Bull says take your English medicine

Union Unit? More like The Onion Unit.

(xp) Rebranded in Scotland as John Knox Says Take Your Protestant Medicine.

trumpet blast against the monstrous regiment of the uninocculated yadda yadda

thing is your Venn diagram of flag waving/wearing unionists and covid denying antivaxxers is basically a circle

the flag on the vials will be more of a minor annoyance to pragmatic indy voters than a fillip to the union

Pretty sure the SNP are rubbing their hands with glee at the advent of No. 10's Union Unit.

the Liberal Democrats's own Billiam Bragg to rerecord "There Is Power in a Union" for the occasion

aye it's the unit that keeps on giving xp

I mean it's in the title of their party - they shouldn't even need a "unit" lol! But of course so much they've done in the last decade and new labour before them has done the SNP's work for them!

Accept our deal..that we think we'll be..better off without..yeah

@Daily_Express
Boris Johnson orders Barnier to agree Australian-style pact or watch UK prosper in no deal

they really are high on their own supply

ACCEPT THIS DEAL OR SO HELP ME WE'LL JUMP
that'll show youse
ouch

has boris been watching the news?

He's probly watching Nigella

Politics - Trending

Laurence Fox

Trending with Katie Hopkins

So this is where we are. Absolute fucking arse end of 2020 and this no mark actor turned no mark politician Lolz Fox is trending for expecting the NHS to be able to upscale to accommodate covid parties with Kate fucking Hopkins or some shit. I don't even know. How the fuck did we come to this?

The funniest gossip I read this weekend was that allegedly at Pride 2019, a very pissed up Angela Rayner was loudly telling anyone that would listen that she would soon enough be the new leader of the Labour Party.

She should have stabbed her roomie in the back and run ;)

she didn't need to, no weather forecast was required to see which way the wind was blowing!

Kieth would never be very pissed up at Pride

yeah, I did actually used to like Angela until I got a better sense of her politics.

I still think her politics are sound, but she's in an unfortunate bind of her own making

The 'bind' must itself be 'her politics'.

She's been elected as Deputy Leader of the Labour Party. She can choose what she says. She chooses to say things that are mendacious and poisonous.

That's now her politics.

correct. as England's foremost novelist Tom Watson has pointed out, the deputy is pretty much free to conduct their own line

I guess the bind is lack of backbone, ultimately. Alas

i suspect it is just simple opportunism
