the day after the deadline: can the union survive brexit and other deep questions

I’ll admit to checking out rolling news channels to see if the newsreaders are wearing black in preparation but it’s all Barnier’s live presser so: inconclusive.

Still in awe that the British PM's spokesperson spelled out Fermanagh to an Irish Times journo because they were afraid they might mispronounce the place their boss was going to say how integral Northern Ireland is to the UK. #NotReady4SelfGovernment pic.twitter.com/Kb5SkQY1CE

Thank you Nick Berry

fuck is it 5pm yet

Been reading The March of Folly and the parallels with the Brexit lunacy and how Britain lost the American colonies is striking. Everyone knew it was utter madness, it was seemingly politically impossible to stop it. eg

Americans were the settlers and colonizers of a territory deemed so essential that its loss would spell ruin, but the British wall of superiority precluded knowledge and promoted fatal underestimation. Meeting it during the peace negotiations, John Adams wrote, “The pride and vanity of that nation is a disease; it is a delirium; it has been flattered and inflamed so long by themselves and others that it perverts everything.”

as all know, the dying george v was helped on his way by a massive morphine injection, so that the obits would run first in the important and respectable morning papers and not the more salacious evening rags

so now i'm imagining the entire family ramming larger and larger syringes into the scrawny and bent but stubborn torso, to no effect

Brilliant quote, stet.

History has a way of repeating when you refuse to learn from it, cf Edward Carson in 1921:

What a fool I was. I was only a puppet, and so was Ulster, and so was Ireland, in the political game that was to get the Conservative Party into power. And of all the men in my experience that I think are the most loathsome it is those who will sell their friends for the purpose of conciliating their enemies, and, perhaps, still worse, the men who climb up a ladder into power of which even I may have been part of a humble rung, and then, when they have got into power, kick the ladder away without any concern for the pain, or injury, or mischief, or damage that they do to those who have helped them to gain power.

A big death just a day after they opened that massive sarcophagus dug up recently? The realest curse my dudes.

Fiona Bruce is wearing a baby pink news jacket, Phil lives.

weekend ruined, thanks phil you immortal lizard-man

Boris Johnson has been my second-top trend on Twitter for a few days now, despite having only a few thousand tweets about him. Has he literally paid for enhanced exposure?

my brain now answers all such questions with "THEY DRANK THE TOMB JUICE"

on my twitter:

Hockney World Cup

FPBE party leader Micheal Heseltine speaks

Star trek

Buffy

thankfully no fucking BoJo!

Etymology of sarcophagus practically demands you drink the tomb juice

stir in a little gelatin for the al dente effect

Right, so Vince Cable missed a very important vote to oppose Brexit in the Commons last week because he was at a secret meeting about forming a new centrist Remainer political party?

you could not make it up.

Forming 'centrist' political parties is the opiate of The Worst.

if there’s one thing this country needs more of it’s centrism

I almost admire his complete dearth of conviction politics tbf, he makes Gove look like a driven ideologue. But lol, what a complete fucking risible arsewipe!

GHB?

I'd say I haven't done it 15 years, but apparently the very same psychoactive drug is present in red wine, albeit in much smaller quantities!

i did it once quite recently and had to be dragged into a taxi and deposited in my bed at the other end.... allegedly! (I have no memory of anything after taking it although my state has been alluded to several times since)

my brother once walked into a McDonalds and took a piss on table whilst on it, and somehow managed not to get arrested!

thankfully, my concern has mostly been around how loudly i was snoring while i was out.

although since it was around a bunch of gays that could do you enough reputational damage.

Can’t read the whole piece but this is from today’s Sunday Times:

In a survey that will spark unease in Downing Street, the YouGov poll found that the public believes Boris Johnson, the former foreign secretary, is better placed to negotiate with Brussels and lead the Conservatives into the next election.

It highlights how voters are polarising, with growing numbers alienated from the two main parties. About 38% would vote for a new party on the right that was committed to Brexit, while 24% are prepared to support an explicitly far-right anti-immigrant, anti-Islam party.

One in three voters are prepared to…
