Seizing back control: The ILX lol brexit is how we're all gonna die thread.

the UK's pretty terrible and all, but I do sometimes feel relieved that I'm not in the US where all these delusional weirdos would get to carry guns around with them

The only thing the tories have got right in the last decade is keeping borderline psychotic, jobsworth security guards on minimum wages/zero hours contracts - fuck every last one of them.

so many gfs under so many patios :|

:p

when you are permanently walking about with a severely disabled adult you really do wrack up some hatred for security guards - generalising of course - but idgaf about the nice ones either - cos I've never actually met them!

IOW, nobody wearing that much polyester/viscose should be able to tell other people what to do.

apologies calz i failed to xp -- my post referred to all the brave tweeters approving this man's attack on the protester by announcing how ready they are to do the same

No need to apologise for otm post there, mark!

getting chilling comparisons in the France: The Dark Years book with hard/no-deal brexit ultras and Vichy regime who used the fall of France as useful op to sneak in a fascist national revolution. But lolling at right-wing bishop having his 'putting some shine on the defeat to nazis' Thought for the Day: "victorious we would probably have remained prisoner of our errors".

how to be right

Front pages tomorrow (exc Telegraph, obv)

what did i just hear? some fucking tory twat whinging that Rylance's RSC/BP snub is hypocritical because he is a Corbyn AS apologist... give me strength!

Some stupid old Tory cunt on Newsnight saying people are fed up with establishment politicians and Boris Johnson is not part of the establishment. You couldn't make this shit up.

fucking hell

Eton/Balliol/Bullingdon, that axis of anti-establishment radicalism

Trump managed it, why not Boris?

Easily my favourite genre of tweet

Jermy Combyrn, resplendent on his liar's throne leans forward over his super-communist control panel. His hand tantalisingly inches toward the button marked "Stop Brexit". He laughs, a long, cold laugh before passing over it to hit the "tweet about summer solstice" button instead https://t.co/WT1Y03ePcp

This however...the NECKKKKKKKKKK

On this Windrush Day and every day, let us give thanks to those pioneering men and women. They crossed an ocean to build a future for themselves, their communities and the UK, the country that will always be their home. pic.twitter.com/YvUeEB0U2d

it’s funny because it’s true

take yr pick as to whether that was an xp or not

still no upgrade to the maybot's only very basic installed language package, still no self-awareness or thoughtfulness packages installed. she's so fucking worthless.

imagine if one of your relatives had died because of her actions as HS and PM and then reading that rinse.

Windrush victim dies with no apology or compensation

Shame he couldn’t have heard her words during the period where he was “stressed and depressed during the protracted process of attempting to sort out his paperwork and prove the government’s errors had caused him severe problems for years”.

OK, that's taking the top prize ever.

(Wow, great sentence construction, keeping that one)

This is what a labour left should do at the least - call it out as racism:

This story is so sad. My dear constituent has passed away with no apology or compensation from this racist Gov't despite being a victim of the windrush scandal.

RIP Richard Stewart https://t.co/VwzP1tXSq5

I have it on good authority from a Labour staffer that Owen Smith visited a building site for a hotel or similar and had a shit in non plumbed in toilet.

— Monster Lady (@generousmoblin) June 22, 2019

I feel a bit guilty for posting that immediately after the last message but it deserves a wider audience.

genuinely took me about 90 seconds to remember who owen jones is

fuck i forgot his name before i even finished that post

Having a shit in non plumbed in toilet is some sort of metaphor for something for other.

A friend of mine once got red-carded from a site for shitting into a work-in-progress plumbed toilet, and sending it all over the plumber and his tools via the soilpipe.

but shitting into a non-plumbed toilet is ignorant savagery imo.

there probably won't be any water in the u-bend for a start!

he was calm and shitting as he usually does

Shitting in a non plumbed in toilet is an excellent metaphor for his 2016 leadership challenge really.

not a bad title for any new rolling U.K. politics thread tbf.

seems like a good time to recall the story about michael gove once having to be talked out of using a hoover to unblock his toilet

haha no you are teasing.

(From the book Unleashing Demons: The Inside Story of Brexit by Craig Oliver, David Cameron’s former Director of Communications.)

Unblocking Loos with a Hoover: The Inside Story of Brexit

What a formidable intellectual.

i think gove should be encouraged to experiment much more with electrical appliances and water.

That story was reported in an old Popbitch mailout but rather differently:

”Not my story, but impeccably sourced. Sarah Vine tells of returning home one evening to hear the noise of the hoover upstairs. Puzzled, she went up to discover the sound was coming from the bathroom, accompanied by grunts and moans.

Fearing deviancy, vaseline and amyl-soaked satsumas, she swung the door open to reveal the then Secretary of State for Education,
Michael Gove, forlornly trying to slurp up an enormous, unflushable turd with the crevice wand."

OK, I'd never heard of a crevice wand till right now.

”Michael Gove, forlornly trying to slurp up an enormous, unflushable turd...”
