Psychoactive Substances: Rolling UK Politics in The Neo-Con Era

read somewhere that this could portend a reunification of ireland, with NI seeking to rejoin --- is this bollocks

xpost What's the likelihood of another Brexit referendum?

We just have to persuade some those bampots in NI that still thinking you're more "British than the British" in the year 2016 is nagl.

"i got a letter from the government, the other day, i opened it and read it, it said they were suckers"

chuck d obv living in a particularly 'transparent', honest period of politics. i wish i got letters from politicians telling me where they have gone wrong.

Good posts itt from ppl I agree with today.

always enjoy posts from people i agree with.

however i am not a fan of posts i don't agree with.

people have had enough of ILXperts

We really really don't need a left UKIP populated with loud personalities who say dumb 'lefty' things.

Thanks.

Could we have a Labour Party led by someone who doesn't come across like a disillusioned supply teacher?

"We really really don't need a left UKIP populated with loud personalities who say dumb 'lefty' things."

a left wing UKIP equivalent does not have to mean loud personalities who say dumb things.
it means more what that other poster said upthread.

Thanks.

Crying a lot today. Nothing of importance to add here, just... crying.

Its such an incredibly dumb idea - but its ok because this is how you connect with Sunderland or some such. xp

Corbyn really needs more PR, maybe he could hire former PR David Cameron - I hear he is looking for a job.

I wish I could cheer you up but I can't cheer myself up :(

music is helping me...maybe not "cheer up" but at least ease into despondency

i enjoyed this post massively

Shitpost imo actually

otm both

Jeremy Corbyn has cancelled his appearance at Glastonbury after the referendum result.

The Labour leader had been scheduled to speak on Sunday at an event called Jez We Can: Jeremy Corbyn in Conversation, which would have made him the first Labour leader to appear at Pilton.

A spokesman confirmed to the Press Association that he would be “focusing on the issues” thrown up by the “momentous” vote rather than travelling to Worthy Farm.

let's rebuild this country one good post at a time.

rather than travelling to Worthy Farm

If ever a place was aptly named :(

No worries. Glad to help you "focus on the issues"

Ahhhhhh "THE LEFT"

How about some far out groovy people, who call themselves after lunch to make sure they are not in?

a political party led by popular twitter figures of the left would be good.

after this epic vindication of all their positions, liberal centrists certainly in v good position to titter at leftists arguing

Left wing UKIP - ie very populist, very 'honest' (simple) in communication, willing to use base attacks against opposition - if nothing else, then expressed as a fraction of Labour - has been an obvious necessity for a while. Corbyn went some of the way, he gained like Sanders because went more left-leaning and stood out, but he's too lifeless as a personality to sell it. You don't need to sink to low depths, but it baffles me how poor politicians who aren't right wing populists are at communicating their ideology through simple language, and how poor they are at dismantling shitty arguments by other politicians. Get some new PR people in there.

"Glad to help you "focus on the issues"

if only there were more people of your intellect in the Labour Party, or just in British politics in general.

@dick_nixon
The little man always looked to Labour for a job. His union. But they don't give a shit about him now.

I don't give a shit about the vacation you just booked. This is serious.

on a positive note, MAYBE this might make force the EU take a look at itself and adjust accordingly esp. with the threat of other EU countries looking for similar referendums now. UK might have the same place as Norway, Iceland and Switzerland now who are not EU members, but they are still able to trade freely. RIGHT?

Switzerland's status has not been improved by some recent Schengen-violating referenda, and may weaken.

RIGHT?

Norway: state owned oil
Iceland: geothermal energy
Switzerland: banks
UK: a bunch of multinational financial institutions who could leave the City basically if/when it suits them?

Like the swiss, then

no i don't think so - EU is going to have to come down hard on UK or risk other countries getting the "wrong idea"

xp except there's no sudden reason for banks etc. in Switzerland to leave
