one out all out: a brexit from the modern world and every one of its problems please (we're all gonna die lol)

the scots are even more despicable than the english bc they lacked the competence to carry out their imperial ambitions

conhome have an article up now about how the Tories need to reach out to the Irish more, the header starts

"Alan O’Kelly is Executive Director of the Conservative Ireland Association, an organisation that has just been recently established to create links with the Irish community"

Fortunately we famously have very short memories.

(the comments are not short in demanding that we lose the right to vote)

in conclusion everyone is bad

But only some have discovered how to style out wearing a skirt in hot weather.

xp you should take a break from reading headbanger comments, that way lies madness.

It is more than possible to be a proud Irish person and a Conservative at the same time, despite the Party’s full name.

the natural tendency of Irish people to be socially and economically conservative in their thinking

The Party has not yet cultivated a formal relationship with the Irish community in Britain

Many are already involved in the Conservative Party, whether in local government or as constituency officers or volunteers,

tl;dr this is AMAZING

...and online xxp

Not at all in favour of these various friends of foreign countries organisations, the interests of the British people should come first and there should be no question of dual loyalty. We lost the excellent Crispin Blunt as Chairman of Foreign Affairs Committee to the laughable Tughengendat and I wonder what role the friends of Israel played in this. There are many other examples where foreign lobbies have perverted British policy making.

Think of this the next time you read about Corbyn needing to appeal to Tory voters.

They got the English to do it and then reaped the rewards of the slave trade/opium trade plus cushy jobs running various colonies.

did scotland reap the rewards? at least the welsh didn't have to eat giant turtles or support an aristocracy

the reward was moving to canada where you don't have to eat giant turtles (there it's lobsters, and you *checks notes* fuck them)

just got around to reading the sir ivan rogers speech trace posted yesterday

allow me to tl;dr it for anyone who hasn't yet: lol we're all gonna die

It's more 'lol u got played and you're gonna die'

fair point, my tl;dr was insufficiently l

He probably has this framed: https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2016/12/15/post-brexit-trade-deal-could-take-10-years-still-fail-warns/

I suspect we'll all die first and the lol will be alien archaeologists of the 53rd century picking through all of this and figuring out what you need to feed Michael Fabricant to get him to evolve into Boris Johnson.

Fabricant has views on this!

some mutants get healing factors or telekinesis or the ability to shoot force beams from their eyes but fabricant gets... that

no wonder his heart is filled with rancid piss

xxp

"hmm.. future alien archaeologist pal, it looks like a classic case of a rapid population bottleneck/civilisational collapse exacerbated by increasingly intemperate degenerates inbreeding with each other"

further significant anecdata for the aliens (re the scots in this case):

Breaking:
On @skynews now: if PM does not announce a date for meaningful vote Today Corbyn will announce no confidence vote IN PM

Here we go, here we go, here we fucking go.

Mid-Jan date, while she tries to lecture a noisy-as-fuck house that because they agreed with A50 they agree with everything that followed

https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2018/dec/17/britain-second-referendum-preferendum-brexit

In the polling station people would not just receive the classical yes/no question, but a list of 30 proposals on Britain’s future relationship with the European Union. They might include ideas such as: “The status of Northern Ireland and the UK should be the same, even if that implies a harder border with the Republic of Ireland”; “Only Britain should be able to regulate who enters the country”; “Migration can only be tackled if Britain works with its European partners”; “Travelling to the EU should not require a passport.” Et cetera.

In the run-up to the preferendum every voter would receive a brochure with the arguments for and against each proposal, as is already common practice in Switzerland. In the voting booth citizens would be invited to rate the proposals (to show how strongly they agree or disagree) and rank them (pick a top three).

Jesus fucking christ on a bike can you imagine how many people would bother to figure out what to do, and the chaos in polling stations if they did? Let's just have an endless series of referendums the same as the first one instead, until everyone gets bored of it and we stay in the EU out of inertia.

xp getting in before the nickb "A50 one-way" pun

that sounds like a california ballot xp

debate and meaningful vote announced week of january 7 so that's that for the no confidence vote

The vote's the week after, I think.

yep it's on the 14th. Can't remember if that is the optimum date for everyone topping themselves, but it's definitely close.

3rd Monday in Jan or something iirc

ofc that's pseudo-science dreamed up by the marketing industry

the bloody indignitas of them!

I think we’re supposed to top ourselves in february

Whilst reporting that some pro Brexit campaigners in yellow jackets were shouting misogynist stuff at Kay and that I was “not British” and “a rapist” ... well done all who helped create this situation. Good job.

They might include ideas such as: “The status of Northern Ireland and the UK should be the same, even if that implies a harder border with the Republic of Ireland”

I hope there are separate questions for the above (no thanks) plus "The status of Northern Ireland and the UK GB should be the same, even if that implies the whole UK is in the Single Market and Customs Union, gay marriage and abortions are legalised in NI, and the Irish language has the same status as Welsh and will appear on road signs and be taught in schools from Sept 2019 onwards" (sure, why not, apart from the resulting loyalist violence, but maybe we can have a question about that too)

perhaps you should only get to answer if you know whether NI is in GB or not. hell, also whether Ireland is, that one seems to puzzle some Brexiteers. and please attach a 2000-word essay on the question of what to call the British Isles

bloody brexit campaigners - there's so much material to yell abuse at kay burley for, why would you start with the misogynistic bullshit ffs

i'm impressed that David Van Reybrouck's academic rep is almost as high as he clearly is

ive never considered "the isles" before aps

i think i quite like that?

"these islands" is the term used in official documents between the Irish and British governments

going forward we can be future islands

*does the ice skater dance*

going forward more likely to be "the large barely-submerged rocks in the north-east Atlantic" tbh
