Pooling sovereignty. Is that like sharing virginity?

— Gerard Batten MEP (@GerardBattenMEP) November 26, 2017

uhhh

Le Bateau Ivre, Monday, 27 November 2017 12:55 (six years ago) link

fun fact: the "UK" in UKIP is short for "United Kingdom", a state made up of 4 countries with shared sovereignty.

ok NI isn't a country but you know what I mean

Big Pred aka (Noodle Vague), Monday, 27 November 2017 12:58 (six years ago) link

Still 18 more months until next Euro Parl elections :[

those aims were pre-election: the post-election situation is different, in that the DUP has already secured quite a large amount of money for NI, against a confidence-and-supply deal -- i don't think we know whether this support was actually firmed up and nailed down for a situation like this but if anyone can find room to further turn the screw (for even more money? or other concessions?) it's the DUP

"The final result is far from a foregone conclusion because voting is carried out on a one-member-one-vote basis and candidates such as Izzard have a huge national profile."

Yasmine Dar – 206.

Rachel Garnham – 188.

Jon Lansman – 182

Eddie Izzard – 71.

Must remember to send my NEC ballot off in a few days, I'm not even thinking about the composition of the NEC - fucking off Eddie Izzard again is my main motivation.

calzino, Monday, 27 November 2017 13:40 (six years ago) link

who needs any other incentive than thwarting the sharp-witted SDP supporter?

Big Pred aka (Noodle Vague), Monday, 27 November 2017 13:44 (six years ago) link

like all good Blairite running dogs our Edward claims to have "no agenda"

Big Pred aka (Noodle Vague), Monday, 27 November 2017 13:45 (six years ago) link

some of his profuse gushing + fawning claptrap on Brown/Blair from back in the day is almost too painful to read.

calzino, Monday, 27 November 2017 13:54 (six years ago) link

I wd suggest that he is not a deep thinker

Big Pred aka (Noodle Vague), Monday, 27 November 2017 13:56 (six years ago) link

just had a nightmare vision of Martin Freeman running for the NEC

Big Pred aka (Noodle Vague), Monday, 27 November 2017 13:58 (six years ago) link

god imagine a political party composed of loveable light entertainment legends and Ed Balls

Big Pred aka (Noodle Vague), Monday, 27 November 2017 13:59 (six years ago) link

it's easy if you try

Big Pred aka (Noodle Vague), Monday, 27 November 2017 13:59 (six years ago) link

imagining Izzard vs Brand in a furious debate on post-Marxism and whether that would be funnier than their actual acts in 2017

Big Pred aka (Noodle Vague), Monday, 27 November 2017 14:05 (six years ago) link

some people accredit Izzard with a lot of intelligence because he is multi-lingual and also talk of his alleged surreal qualities, some people's surreal is other peoples verbal diarrhoea. I mean the memoir he is currently plugging is subtitled "a memoir of love, death and jazz chickens". That loudly signals smug Radio 4 humourfail shite alert to me, nothing surreal about it at all.

he is like a boring person's idea of a barmy surrealist. like, even more than noel fielding

aye this fucker hasn't earned his Daniil Kharms stripes at all, he is more from that UK tradition of studied zaniness imo.

NI Unionists are doing what they've been doing since time immemorial: the right to be British except when being British gets in the way of their own self interest at which point they demand special favours not given to their fellow Britons.

Also being fundamentalist Christians which is relevant far more often than it appears to be in any other theatre of European politics

At what point does this seemingly endless fucking paralysis actually end?

Some fuckin' Royalist Arlene Foster is:

...in a post on Mrs Foster's Twitter account, she mistakenly sent her best wishes to his already-married brother.

"Congratulations to HRH Prince William on his engagement to Megan (sic) Markle," she posted.

"Wonderful news this morning!"

The tweet was quickly deleted, with Mrs Foster correcting her error.

Hoping some Murican blood injected into the royal family bloodstream will be the death that atrocious institute. It won't will it?

It's not the American part that would be the first objection I can imagine Philip raising

Already tired to death of the "she was in Suits kids! Steamy scenes lads! Murican! Divorced! Bit of the ole oh-la-laa amirite guys? Ingerland needed something positive! Think of the million mugs that'll be made and sold!" hot takes. And I'm not even in the UK rn.

Royalty is the worst Groundhog Day and deserves it's own circle in hell.

It didn't work the last time it was tried. Still it did prevent an actual Nazi from being a king.

Prepare to hear about how they're benefitting from her common touch from now until you die and they harvest your organs.

Andrew Farrell, Monday, 27 November 2017 19:32 (six years ago) link

From now until the affairs, suicide attempts, separation and divorce surely?

It'll be a three months long opium for the masses 'high' while MayBot and company stumble through a brexit process absolutely disastrous for the working class and the poor.

But we sure shifted those 'keep calm and love 'arry and meggin' mugs and onesies and flags and pies! We take care of our own 'ere!

Le Bateau Ivre, Monday, 27 November 2017 19:38 (six years ago) link

I've no doubt the wedding will be planned either on or around a significant and difficult hurdle/screw-up in the ongoing success story that is brexit.

my main thought so far has been "this has to be worth a day off work"

Big Pred aka (Noodle Vague), Monday, 27 November 2017 19:43 (six years ago) link

I don't see it Calz but ty :)

'A day off work' indeed: something everyone will be completely grateful for. As the tiny chain links in need of oiling that we are.
