brexit negging when yr mandate is is trash: or further chronicles of a garbage-fire

The line is corny af to begin with but I can appreciate it wouldn't be easy for someone outside the UK to pick up on quite how wince-inducing it is in the context of authentocrat pandering to imagined working class cliches, cultural gentrification, the intersection of 'Cool Britannia' jingoism and Skinner / Baddiel's ironic xenophobia / misogyny, etc, etc.

Possibly it wasn't a line designed to appeal to the enormous voting tranche of ilxors

If you puked up at Blair banging on about the People's Princess, this is similarly mawkish, like a warm-up for Diana-based speech chunder.

Its good craft...yet loathsome. Its nice that someone can hold two opinions like this. Very progressive and open to things, our Fred.

The irony is that xyzzzz is mainly just butthurt because I pointed out he knew nothing about French politics, yet insisted on his right to have extremely bad takes.

Just a giant pile of pointless puke, our xyzzz.

Praying for Denmark rn.

Lol, I bet you don't even know what country Denmark is.

Haven't seen a Danish attack on the English left like this since [history reference][football reference]

That's a bad metaphor.

Explain.

What are you an expert in now? The English language or violin bows?

He just has complex thoughts.

to defend fred on one thing, "another string to your bow" IS a bad metaphor

Also it's archery, nothing to do with violins, so Fred wins all round.

I wonder if the British ever wrote about this, but Stephen Kinnock was a prügelknabe for years over here. Apparently, his marriage to former Danish prime minister Helle Thorning-Schmidt was a sham tax marriage, and really he is gay.

Also, to be fair to Fred (again!), he was invited on to this thread (sort of) to discuss responses to Cool Britannia from outside the UK.

Further chronicles of a garbage-fire indeed

Thanks to Brexit we're all in the prügelknabe now.

Its good craft...yet loathsome. Its nice that someone can hold two opinions like this. Very progressive and open to things, our Fred.

How is that two opinions? Politically abhorrent ideology can be finely crafted, surely no one questions that? #readsomefuckinggoebbels

fred spilling the hot tea on kinnock jr

Maybe this Goebbels guy was ok but forget Blur and OCS. Non-starter. xp

Liam Fox has said a post-Brexit free trade deal with the EU should be the “easiest in human history”, but insisted that the UK could survive without one.

However, he went on to concede that securing a deal would probably not be easy in practice. “The only reason that we wouldn’t come to a free and open agreement is because politics gets in the way of economics,” Fox said.

Have faith o ye in the Fox

Mark - its only a couple of threads. Fred is being spiteful too.

But ok I'm out.

aw, it's always fun watching j00lz be spiteful to other people, but you never know when it'll be your turn

For the record its just you and Fred.

You can't spell 'spite' without St Pie.

never forget the 2002 round of 16 peeps

you clown 16 peeps
what do you get?
useless facts
from the respectable left

is john mct actually good. discus

predator and die hard are all-time, not arsed about the rest

Last Action Hero is well under-rated

'the last action hero is underrated' has been a thing for so long that i think it's now actually over-rated tbh

Like everything else, you just have to choose the correct criticism for you target audience

I got Last Action Hero mixed up with The Last Boy Scout. Turns out they were both written by the same guy.

It didn't turn out that way, he meant it

last boy scout is great

why not enjoy it as half of a shane black double-bill alongside kiss kiss bang bang

politics gets in the way of economics,” Fox said

politics gets in the way of economics,” Fox said

politics gets in the way of economics,” Fox said

he's right there. it's one of varoufakis' main talking points also

just like human rights in the way of capitalism, RIGHT COMMUTERS?

Yeah I'm guessing that when Varoufakis says it the meaning is very different from when Liam Fox says it.

Last Action Hero is the Liam Fox of films, in that I'm constantly puzzled by the high regard he gets from anyone at all.

The "Fish Called Wanda" Effect, as it is known

I think it's actually a pretty similar point - that those making deals in the EU are under political pressure to do things which make no economic sense
