PMs change and lol we're all gonna die (but brexit will never end)

well he said the backstop is indispensable but also said "new UK ideas" had to respect integrity of the single market so.. a backstop-like-thing that one can pretend is not the backstop feels like the goal here

(xp) You don't say?

He's just going "what's your big idea then?" Merkel sounds more conciliatory but that might just be because she's smarter than Macron.

Playing up to their respective reputations and home audiences, I suspect.

It's more common than you'd think in mammals too. Many rodent mothers may eat some of their young if they're sick, dead, or too numerous to feed.

Bears and lions kill and eat the offspring of adult females to make them more receptive to mating.

Chimpanzees sometimes cannibalise unlucky rivals, usually infants, seemingly for the mere opportunity of some extra protein.

For humans though, cannibalism is the ultimate taboo. In fact, our aversion to cannibalism is so strong that consent and ethics count for little.

they should at least be doing guides to cooking domestic pets, insects and recipes for that bark you've just stripped off a tree in a deranged state of famishment before stanning for the old longpig, but this is the fucking Mail

this is relevant to my interests

i was listening to a 70's Vincent Price narrated horror story about cannibalism t'other day and it reminded me of thee!

genuinely touched tbh

One thing the "30 days" thing will obviously do is defang the prospects of a no-confidence vote at the start of September.

Will it be 28 Days Later tomorrow then?

let's cut to the chase - who is eating who itt

I'm pretty sure I would make excellent crackling if anybody's interested

A modest proposal...

Bad news for vegetarians and vegans.

If the longpig is pre-deceased it's ethical imo

what if it's a change UK candidate for the EU parliament

Thats what greggs make their vegan sausage rolls out of.

crispin' hunt

xxxp I meant they’re the first to be eaten (plus their meat probably tastes better)

market as grass-fed imo

Jared o’Mara and his Twitter-famous assistant both nabbed for fraud.

couldn’t happen to a nicer couple of total cunts

Starting to wonder whether I should start feeling sorry for Jared. So far the answer is definitely 'nah' but if he actually went to jail I may possibly reconsider.

this one's for you jared!!!!!

remember when the Remainer libs conveniently forgot about Gideon's role in austerity because he was one of them .. and a verifiable adult in the room to boot!

are Bolesy and Grieveso the last *big beast* Tory conviction remainers in town now?

Compare and contrast:

Thus isn't to say the messaging is consistent enough on this from Labour. But a clear choice -- should we have a GE -- will be made.

Boris Johnson was wrong about ‘illegal’ migration and it got broken down in yesterday’s Guardian because people are allowed to migrate to a place of safety, whatever that fucker says.

ogmor, apologies. i can't even remember posting that.

Yup, election:

BREAKING: Fuel duty to be cut in the emergency budget. The first cut in 8 years. See Sunday Times

are we so easily bought?

yeah prob tbh

good second captains politics podcast with a former downing st comms specialist who worked under cameron and may

may be subscriber only, you should be a subscriber tbh

makes sense - the world of football is after all a tory echo chamber!

tbfttl hes a northern irish moderate nationalist, career civil servant who resigned as a result of downing st strategy of ignoring the border early on in WA negotiations

interesting perspective

isn't there an easy one click link for this? If someone posted some Novara Media bollox to the football thread and said: it is strictly subscription is this but someone mentions [some fucking spurs player] in it - the responding poster wouldn't be breaking any site rules by telling thee to get fucked!

im am calmly shilling for second captains as i always do!

:D

might be available, reading the blurb- some shows are and some arent so have a go

it's asking for £5. I'm already 400 overdrawn and could get a sack of basmati rice for that or a block to sharpen my axe.

we tried man. we tried.

this sounds interesting but I'm not spending my £5 on football-related content just so I can reach the non-football parts so oh well

in other news, hmm, this sounds dodgy/ominous to my admittedly untrained ear:

Just realised that the 'Alternative Arrangements Commission' isn't a UK government thing at all. It's set up by Prosperity UK, an ostensibly independent organisation....that was set up by Brexit backer Paul Marshall. You'll have had your democracy

don't worry, it's co-chaired by that nice moderate remainer Nicky Morgan who said she'd refuse to serve in a Boris govt...

listening to bbc ws earlier and noted the Five Star Movement in Italy has moved from being referred to as an "anti-establishment party" to a "left-wing party" on their hallowed airwaves. Both bullshit speak.

What is this strategy of making it known that the government is actively pursuing outright authoritarian measures and that Doomsday is around the corner?
