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

directions*

Nick Cohen's piss is busted again.

" They do not shudder when they see Corbyn surrounding himself with aides from the Communist party of Britain and the fragments of the Socialist Workers party because they know little or nothing of communism."

He is obviously completely senile and needs help.

come on, Cohen did 20 years in a gulag, he knows of which he speaks

sorry i meant 20 years at the Observer

Never forget the forced collectivism, mass famines and genocide committed by the Communist party of Britain.

i think Cohen would argue that British Communists cheered for those things and so are complicit in them, in the same way that people who cheered for the 2003 invasion of Iraq are complicit in the deaths of 10s of thousands of civilians and the empowerment of ISIS

Cohen is quoting Mark Fisher in that Observer piece, only fair to quote Fisher on Cohen in response.

Not entirely sure how Boris Johnson meeting Peter Gabriel is going to help that woman in Iran tbh.

Boris' hair evolving into a bowl-cut, I see.

Who's in the urn behind them?

British deep state has tried several times to assassinate John McDonnell, but every time they give the wrong name to the wet-ops specialist used. There are a string of John Macdonalds, John O'Connells, John McConnells etc who have died in inexplicable suicides, tragic vehicular fault caused traffic accidents, and unsolved robbery-murders.

Apparently Jeremy was a bit jel when he found they'd named a bridge after his deputy leader in Dublin.

urn contains ashes of humanity's future iirc

Boris' hair evolving into a bowl-cut, I see.

if you didn't know better and were to be asked which of the two people in the pic was the ex-kooky 70s prog rock vocalist.....

Mmmm, the one on the right.

The one on the left could be from Nortside,40 years ago.

Log off, mark!

love how the lib dems keep attacking labour and not the actual government

that's what they're for

It's also where the votes are more likely to come from.

For labour

Never underestimate the extent to which gullible young Remainers can be persuaded that the right and proper thing to do as a voter with a social conscience in 2k17 is to support the How To Stop Brexit (And Make Britain Great Again) platform. currently spending a lot of my time engaging with such earnest and well-intentioned young ppl

Remarks by David Davis that Phase one deal last week not binding were unhelpful & undermines trust. EP text will now reflect this & insist agreement translated into legal text ASAP #Brexit

lol

Just coming here to post that. Awesome!

lol

a) May just didn't think to ensure everyone was giving out a consistent message
b) She did and Davis just ignored her, either deliberately or through incompetence
c) Davis's statement *was* the agreed message and she just didn't anticipate the EU's reaction here

Whichever one it is it reflects terribly on all concerned.

they need to strip to the waist and start a leadership contest already

i got a nice email from the home office saying that if i've been living in the UK via EEA for 5 continuous years then i can stay. so... my year in France last year has fucked me i guess? thanks for the reassurance you twats

when you opened and read it did it say they were suckers?

Tracer how certain is any of it (or is the shitty uncertainty the point)

they need to strip to the waist and start a leadership contest already

gaaaaahhhhhhh

is it weird to be cheering for guy verhofstadt to royally fuck over the country in which i love and work?

I felt weird and a bit icky seeing how he pwnd Davis tbh. I'll allow it for today.

in which i love and work

ladies

don't think Davis needs anybody else's help to self-pwn

we've got enough royal fucks as it is also

xps

Dear Foreign,

Although there are almost certainly no grounds to revoke your residency status, we're sending this letter to fuck with your head a bit and remind you of your fucking place.

Best,

Home Office Cunts

We’re certainly not at this point suggesting, much less demanding, that you fuck off, but we are interested in hearing from you about whether you’ve considered it.

5 continuous years seems confirmed by this story:
https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2017/dec/12/minister-outlines-how-eu-nationals-will-apply-for-uk-settled-status-brexit

i guess i have 5 years continuous residence PRIOR to my year away. which maybe counts? i have lived and worked and paid taxes and been unable to vote in this country since 2006. my children were born here. i love london. i don't want to leave. but the constantly shifting promises/threats are honestly so fucking infuriating that i feel like uprooting my entire life and retraining in another language just out of spite.

Ahem

Ní úsáidfidh mé teanga an Choróin

Pleasure, as ever, to speak to my friend @guyverhofstadt - we both agreed on the importance of the Joint Report. Let's work together to get it converted into legal text as soon as possible. 1/2

Radical SUK 4evah imo

having all those people together will make their eventual arrests much less of a hassle

If you look at this list, appreciate the connections, share the sensibility and the desire to pull our politics back from the edge, please go and lie down in the middle lane of the M25 at teatime

please to share ID of that Tweeter so that I can be prosecuted for posting vile and threatening abuse on the internet

I think that's from my Twitter but I was eyerolling and ranting about it.
