nah even if one were to disallow laughing at electoral candidates' appearance, this is scarcely some congenital trait....someone has decided to (paid for) whatever process cause an autochthon of northern england to resemble phenotypes of the levant, itself a curious aesthetic choice for someone not given to métissage in other aspects

perhaps the biggest question raised by this election is "who the fuck is still voting Lib Dem?"

Indeed, I think they're down to their hardcore of Liberal scumbags

Farage: "See? We can organise a piss-up in a brewery!"
Barman: "Actually, this is a pub."

Tory Black Ops offering huge rewards for anybody who can prove Farage is a secret Chianti drinker

Tory Black Ops

Call of Duty: Tory Black Ops would be an interesting video game.

cutscene: a huge public backlash against benefit cuts explodes right in the player's face

Camp Macaroni Style (snoball), Saturday, 4 May 2013 17:15 (eleven years ago) link

Instead of bigotedly targeting non white foreigners, the player would be bigotedly targeting oh wait...

Camp Macaroni Style (snoball), Saturday, 4 May 2013 17:16 (eleven years ago) link

In one part of the story, the player has to fight against a sinister militia called U-KEEP, who are commanded by a raving right wing nutbag.

Also a mission where the player has to defeat a fat racist who wants to make the trains run on time.

And to lighten the mood, a side quest where the player has to prevent two young brothers from scrumping Mr. Wilberforce's apples.

Wow Cameron is really fucking up this EU thing isn't he? He's somehow contrived to make himself look both spineless and that he's lost control, in ways that aren't really going to appeal to anyone.

Matt DC, Monday, 13 May 2013 09:12 (ten years ago) link

starting to get scared about this eu thing now. a poll on the guardian today has 32% of ppl wanting to 'definitely leave the eu immediately'. as fun as it is to watch the tories fall apart, i'm worried that all the focus now seems to be on the power struggle surrounding whether/when to have the referendum and when the time comes to actually campaign on the benefits of staying in the union it will be too late. such a shame labour won't take a stand on this.

tpp, Tuesday, 14 May 2013 09:32 (ten years ago) link

absolutely. the agenda's all being dictated by the worst people afaict and any discussion has circled around a centre point that's way over to their side.

dschinghis kraan (NickB), Tuesday, 14 May 2013 09:36 (ten years ago) link

I can't see business, including the majority of the Conservatives' backers, letting it happen. Both parties would have to campaign on a pro-EU platform. It looks more like a hapless attempt to strong-arm the EU into caving in to British demands than much of a genuine threat to participation.

Given that we've had a wall-to-wall non-stop barrage of anti-EU propaganda for the last 20 years, 32% isn't really that high. Always believed there should be an straight in-out referendum if only to shut people up, pro-EU would win it in a cakewalk.

Bees Against Racism (Tom D.), Tuesday, 14 May 2013 09:55 (ten years ago) link

Ultimately this is the sort of mess that governing by focus group gets you.

Always believed there should be an straight in-out referendum if only to shut people up, pro-EU would win it in a cakewalk.

Don't think this is true at all really. Although I'm surprised how little was made of Obama getting up and going "this is really stupid, guyz" yesterday.

Matt DC, Tuesday, 14 May 2013 11:26 (ten years ago) link

i wd like to hear somebody make the case for the EU in clear terms quoting stats cos tbh if BUSINESS is all in favour i'm not sure what's in it for me

Then, finally, the harassed and ill-prepared handful of police officers was forced to push him back into the Canon's Gait, slamming its front doors shut, as the demonstrators chanted: "Nigel, you're a bawbag, Nigel you're a bawbag, na, na, na, hey!".

Yeah, that bit was especially heartwarming to read.
