i want an end to people with autism being sectioned and warehoused like animals. people with conditions like MS being put into private elderly care homes and left to rot. This is stuff much more important than brexit to me, and the longer it it is the main show the less chance of any important reforms. but this is my self-interest stuff, there is much more that needs fixing and won't be fixed until there is an end to austerity.

At the risk of stating the unfortunate obvious, Brexit will have a bearing on all that. It's not a sideshow.

yeah but the sensible moderates are not meaningfully opposed to austerity (apart from occasional weak lip service) - so here we are.

Once scooped up, that soil could be used to construct a man-made island off the Pacific coast where they could all congregate in blissful, communal solitude at long last.

fuck that it sounds too nice, the scunthorpe gulag archipelagos would be much more educational for them.

climate will have a bearing on everything, the state of the big parties will have a bearing on everything, revolutions in tech will have a bearing on everything, the media will have a bearing on everything, the general mood of the demos wrt the political process will have a bearing on everything, the global economy will have a bearing on everything, the unforgettable terror of the great yawning abyssal nothingness will have a bearing on everything

thread's covering a lot of ground today

Criss Angel Raw: The Mindfreak Unplugged (bizarro gazzara), Tuesday, 6 August 2019 14:48 (four years ago) link

with all due respect i would suggest that any MP not currently convinced that Johnson has set the controls for the heart of The Sun may not be temperamentally ready for whatever struggle lies ahead

Yeah, I think they know that (or know that's he acting that way so well it might as well be genuine). I think what they're actually waiting (utterly in vain) for is their less swivel-eyed constituents to realise this might be madness and allow them to stop it. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxp

stet, Tuesday, 6 August 2019 14:49 (four years ago) link

Given that Johnson's Cabinet of all the headbangers could well have neutralised the ERG is it possible he's just trying to scare the EU into giving him a few face-saving changes to the WA and trying to scare Parliament into voting it through?

With a margin of one I don't think anything can be said to have neutralised the ERG. At least, anything that did would lose them Remainers.

Their rhetoric has ruined them here. Some form of undemocratic backstop is essentially unavoidable for the WA, so they can't have the WA. There is no Brexit left that can be delivered, is there? For those who understand that No Deal is bad not good, the only escape left is brinksmanship and making it Someone Else's Fault.

Why is Corbyn inciting hatred of the wealthy? I guess it’s consistent with his hatred of Jews. The wealthy pay far more tax and create more jobs than his tribe, so should be celebrated and cherished, not derided. Wealth should be a protected characteristic. https://t.co/YJIylaCC4S

saying Jews are innately wealthy is up there with "those coloured folk are good at dancing"

I see Lilicunt is trying to break the world ratio record yet again:

And any examples of Britain treating Ireland in an "appalling" way?

— Andrew Lilico (@andrew_lilico) August 6, 2019



Am aware Matt is probably going to ask what’s the point of this, which is in itself legitimate, but it helps to continually realise the direction of travel, it is exactly the kind of filth that is keeping Leo sitting pretty despite his huge number of flaws, and it is exactly this kind of shit that is why the EU would endure no deal chaos rather than undermine its own rules.

abolition of the monarchy, abolition of westminster, vastly improved public transport and a move away from car-centred planning,

Assume you stuck this one in to check whether anyone was paying attention?

Andrew Farrell, Tuesday, 6 August 2019 17:08 (four years ago) link

I assume he was referring to the Westminster parliamentary system. Unless he meant the Statute of Westminster…

pomenitul, Tuesday, 6 August 2019 17:12 (four years ago) link

If he meant "write a constitution, ffs" then I withdraw my objection.

Andrew Farrell, Tuesday, 6 August 2019 17:14 (four years ago) link

I'm pretty sure that a lot of Johnson's cabinet are slavering over No Deal - I suspect himself was hoping that the EU would cave once a Churchillian figure hove into view.

Andrew Farrell, Tuesday, 6 August 2019 17:17 (four years ago) link

As his list refers to devolution, the establishment of an English Parliament for England & abolition of WM as the UK’s Parliament?

This is the rub, innit? A large part of the Tory membership are apparently mad-keen-can't-wait for this (I don't know how much the repeated drumbeat of 'no deal is better than a bad deal' helped this along); a hard-to-size percentage of Tory MPs are quite genuinely into it, a harder-to-size-but-feels-like-larger-still percentage know it is mad but are posturing anyway for perceived gain ... and they're all utterly critical because there's no majority. There's a shit version of the trolley problem to be had here.

in between shortlisting dream candidates for PM to unite the politically homeless centre Adonis has proposed moving parliament to solihull, which depending on how its implemented could work as part of my list https://www.birminghammail.co.uk/news/midlands-news/heres-calls-move-parliament-solihull-16707534

it's almost like Adonis doesn't want parliament to burn to the ground in a glorious firestorm after a wonderful chain of events started by a major electrical fault.

Quite perspicacious of Adonis to realize that in a decade Ireland will be united and Scotland independent so West Mids will be centre of the rump UK
