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

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!

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.

I'm intruiged but cannot make out what the hell this is :)

Intrigued even

_(┐「ε:)_ Giving Up and Dying

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

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.

don't you ever lie on your side and decide to stop living?

They've confirmed that we won't get a bank holiday.

Fuck the parasitic cunts then

Bank holiday for the marriage for, uh, what is Harry again?

I just said

I'd prefer to not answer this question :-/

a ride.

do these people not feel ashamed

sorry.

The royals or those that are in the industry around the royals or anyone who takes any notice of the royals or ppl who marry royals

xp

i mean, i meant that more as a general comment

The only recent royal story I liked was the one about John Davidson meeting Charles. In the photo Charles has a startled expression and John later admitted he called Charles a "parasite" and said: Camilla's a shit ride. I'm not making fun of his Tourette's condition, in fact I'd like to think it wasn't Tourette's related tbh.

Love how Matt's "endless paralysis" question prompts a discussion on the royals for the first time on this thread today. Good work.

The paralysis is also in the One Nation wets who aren't going to instigate a vote of no confidence, even though they know this lot are destroying this country and have made it a global laughing stock. So fucking terrified of Corbyn be they. Oh fuck, I'm sounding like The Canary so I'll stfu.

it's kind of nice when the worst lack all conviction for a change

No good if the best can't actually wield any influence tbh

that old chestnut, really?

more like linekermac, innit? :p

Damn son

This Meghan seems nice, it's a pity she has to die come the revolution.

how many centrist proto-parties are there now (not including the actually in existence)?

Prof Brian Cox just told Chris Evans R2 he’s thinking of running for PM with a new Macron-inspired party. Listener texts name: The Rational Front

That's the third I have heard of.

of course Coxy is a centrist dad, he's the Eddie Izzard of astronomy

he is down on dowsing, i am down on him

it's like charities, these things are so obviously vanity projects that their creators wouldn't dream of just joining something that already exists - "Centrist Dads Against Drugs"

"The Rational Front"

Murder!

actually I mean literally somebody please assassinate this fuck.

he is down on dowsing, i am down on him

enjoyed this one:

If anyone has access to the scientific equipment needed to split the lib dem vote even further, it's Professor Brian Cox

by October Macron's approval rating had the steepest decline of any president since Chirac '95 in the space of 6 months, but this doesn't trouble pseudo-tories like Cox because winning elections at any cost is all that matters of course.

a year today since ukip unleashed the nuttallator

What do you think of it so far, Paul?

so the 58 extensive brexit impact reports that david davis handed over to parliament apparently amounted to just two lever arch files worth of stuff?

tbf they did have to fit on a floppy disk already full of DD's favourite Bergerac quotes in Clarisworks

I wonder what the nuttallator is up to these days? I could imagine him eating cold beans out of the tin in a badly kept shithole. Earlier it was funny to read that clown from the FT's year old tweet that Labour should be "quaking" over this big dog.

Was Cox always this much of a public dork or did this stuff start when his wife got no-platformed for wondering whether it would be better for trans people to be identified before birth and aborted?

one wd imagine that's the kind of thing that brings out latent bitterness but he's hardly the only celebrity scientist to have reprehensibly "rational" political opinions

It would be odd if Cox started a new party, his wife's already got one: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/More_United

I think rationalism applied in a political context is just a euphemism for fucking off your moral compass.

I assume they just aren't thinking too deeply about anything.

european liberalism has been flapping to find a raison d'etre since the advent of socialism, and failing pitifully

The pathetic thing is none of these wannabe Macron start-up parties will ever get one MP to stand in an election. At least the two I've seen so far were nothing more than late night tweets or one or two spots on the radio. They so want to scare Labour into turning their rage towards Brexit and really resent that Labour are reserving that energy to get the Tories on their austerity policies.

This is an excellent, nuanced thread on HDV. Its been reported as a hard-left take over ofc.

1/ Firstly, obviously silly to go on about “purges” or “coups” or “factionalism” as ppl have in the Times.

These were all democratic selection processes and tbh I’m delighted that housing policy is now such a central question in local political debate.

i was deep into an answer on how cox had always been a bit of a twerp when i realised i was thinking of ben goldacre, which i guess proves noodle's point quite effectively

I can't think of Brian Cox without thinking of the Horrible Histories sketch about Wonders of Egyptian Universe, unfortunately not on YouTube
