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

20th October might be a good date for it - a year on since 700K+ on the streets. Otherwise I'm free whenever.

Pom you said that last week.

Why not now?

stop bullying pom, julio -- it's incredibly boring

Yes, Pom is not Fred.

Is julio comrade alphabet’s actual name, cos ngl that’s a bit weird?

"Pom is not Fred" -- give it time

pomeo and julietul

^this is what I log on for

same

Moving on from fair Verona…

Forgive my ignorance, but is there a history of effective mass protests in this country?

Wouldn’t it be nice if there were groups with no bullying, rather than simply a different cast.

one man's bully is another mans standards control

dont want a race to the most sensitive either tbh

deems dudefully upholding the First ILX Amendment.

in living memory (mine):

—the miners strikes in the 70s broight down the tory government
—the 80s poll tax protests brought thatcher (if not the tories) down and, well, modified the nature of the council tax

in living memory (mine) ive to prob note that guerilla tactics seem likeliest

Define 'effective'

xyzzzz isn't a troll

anything can be trolling, there are no 'trolls'

""trolling""- has the meaning changed?

things done changed since poll tax riots, now disabled protesters are getting clocked with facial recognition systems and the spooks are reporting them to the dwp. God knows what else they are up to.

Lads can we all just ctfd, this is so fucking tedious.

deems, didn’t we use guerilla action cos we didn’t have the numbers or a real army?

Define 'effective'

mark's answers make the cut as far as I'm concerned.

i think we are actually all just posting as we usually do!

yeah, just like remain

i want to say that occupy in 2011 in the UK had consequences also (corbs as a leader with youth support may be one of them) but i'm quite ambivalent about some of its outfall so

Outfall Bhoy

Before entering parliament I had truly never met the kind of people who game a system just for the sake of winning a game. I was not raised in a place where people genuinely want to prove they are the biggest big dog for being its sake. It's been a shock.

If Boris shuts down Parliament to carry out his No-Deal Brexit, I and other MPs will defend democracy.

The police will have to remove us from the chamber. We will call on people to take to the streets.

We will call an extraordinary session of Parliament. #PeoplesParliament

Also how does one pronounce Pom’s un?

Also how does one pronounce Pom’s un?

Poh-meh-NEE-tool.

It usually means something like 'the aforementioned' but is also used to evoke the dead.

anagram of unpolite

Just some of the names I will be using as I sign this

Do not prorogue Parliament
76,430 signatures in the last hour

this petition will definitely be the one that stops brexit for sure

Still trying to keep his job:

Unless Corbyn commits to opposing an early election until an extension has been secured, there will still be a risk of No Deal Brexit going ahead on 31 October.

— Nick Boles MP (@NickBoles) August 28, 2019

Boris Johnson could lose his seat, too.

NEW: Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn has written to the Queen to express his concerns about Boris Johnson's plan, and asked to meet her along with other privy counsellors

— Beth Rigby (@BethRigby) August 28, 2019

S Bush and others convinced this is a move to have a pre-Brexit people-vs-parliament election on their terms, as it is just about the only way out for the Tories now.

But that will take 2/3 majority and I’m starting to wonder if Labour will play along. If they refuse the election on these terms (eg by saying not unless there’s an extension first) that leaves the Tories in a tough place: either No Deal — likely followed by election at worst possible time — or they have to ask for an extension on their own initiative, after all the big talk about No Deal.

blair just *ramming* his boots on here

It's happening:

The best and indeed only solution to Brexit remains a compromise. Parliament should not be suspended. I will vote against a no-deal Brexit because it would be damaging, divisive and unnecessary. We can do much better. Looking forward to seeing some of you in Sunderland at 2 pic.twitter.com/V9fRqRkwmZ

— Rory Stewart (@RoryStewartUK) August 28, 2019

Of the only solutions available I guess I agree it's the best.

Pretty good on what Boris is up to (basically what stet was saying):

Eye roll on all that populist stuff at the end. It's cold hard calculation to win power. Politicians posting as they always do.
