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

Is that like that 'premature antifascism' that they charged Chaplin with re "The Great Dictator"

That they've been trying to dig dirt on Corbz for 3 years now, and this is the best they can do, says he is actually cleaner than m'fucking neutrogena.

I’ve always thought if the rw press found anything truly ruining - dodgy associations, being some kind of cheat or perv, that kind of thing - they’d have released it the weekend before the last GE.

Paradox of labour left being so marginalized for so long is when they do get power they've hardly racked up any real skeletons due to previous distance from power

Great sentence bananaman, keep it up champ

Was just about to defend u there but it was u attacking

And yet 30% of Sun readers voted Labour in 2017. You have to love that.

In the run-up to the election, Andrew Gilligan was ploughing though the British Library newspaper archive, reading dozens of left wing publications from the 70s, 80s and 90s, and he obviously couldn't find much. Lovely guy though... joek, he's an utter prick.

I figure the percentage of Sun-reading Labour voters has always been similar, it's not like people read it for the news

^^absence of announcements in ref stuff this in like july 2016 = a lot of the reason i concluded may et al hadn't a clue what they were up to

Henry Bolton has about three months left as leader of UKIP imo and i can’t see Farage staying away from the job forever.

Out by two months, he has been sacked. Suzanne Evans clearly,wants Farage back, despite loathing him.

acting leader seems good

In 1992 Parliament made HM Queen a ‘citizen of the EU’. To make the Sovereign subject to a foreign power was literally Treason. It still is

gerard batshit mep

I thought that name sounded familiar, turns out he's the guy who proposed that muslims living in britain be required to sign a "code of conduct"

With Ukip hoping to top the polls in May's European elections, Batten is top of the party's MEP candidate list for London, having passed a round of psychometric testing to make sure his views were acceptable.

putting the psycho in psychometric

i usually feel like Philip Inman's a pretty sussed dude (when it comes to economics) so reading this was slightly deflating

https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2018/feb/17/labour-dreaming-uk-wants-socialism-privatisation

note the slightly lamenting tone. not sure he's reading this right tho

talks about a section of the population that tend to the Right then concludes with "the public don't want Corbynism" which is patently cobblers

all this about how over-50s vote, didn't Labour score a major boost in youth turnout? can't see why this wouldn't be even more pronounced next time around.

recently there was a report that the youth vote was slightly overstated and the most significant surge was amongst late 20's to 40's voters or something.

This is John Howsam, a 76-year-old former UKIP parliamentary candidate from Northampton. Asked if he really thinks MI6 have planted Henry Bolton to destroy UKIP he said "definitely. Absolutely" pic.twitter.com/YAQwpUZ2Oy

gammonspiracy

obviously true love is sometimes inexplicable but the story that jo marney (25) can't keep her hands off bolton (54) does have a honeytrappish feel to it, despite shared interest in massive racism

(with regard to MI6 there's also a colossal LOLWHY feel to it too, of course)

Liberal metropolitan Establishment determined to subvert The People's Racism

more from gerard batshit mep, who seems v good value

Ukip’s interim leader, Gerard Batten, has reiterated his belief that Islam is a “death cult” and called for Muslims to be asked to sign a document renouncing parts of the Qur’an, in remarks that risk pushing the beleaguered party even further from the mainstream.

Asked about calling Islam a death cult on his personal blog, he said: “What I wrote there about Islam is factually and historically true, and anybody that cares to look at the history of Islam over the last 1,400 years will see that that is true.

“It was propagated by invasion, by violence and intimidation. And if you look at every continent in the world where you have this belief, then you have violence. It glorifies death. They believe in propagating their religion by killing other people and martyring themselves and going and getting their 72 virgins.”

The idea of a ban on building new mosques was his personal opinion, Batten said, and he would not necessarily seek to make it Ukip policy.

invasion, violence and intimidation very much not on the cards when the sun never set on the british empire, of course

some folk still moaning about the Ottoman Empire's 17th century territorial gains!

the conquistadors, a great bunch of lads

Christians not at all fixated on death then

no u see islam believes that your deeds here on earth will be rewarded after death by the one true god, whose word existed before all things, and who created humans in his image, and who revealed his gospel through jesus, who was born of the virgin mary

and christianity believes uh o shit

abraham has a lot to answer for tbh

The Catholic Church has a lot to answer for as well. Some of those fuckers from the Artane Industrial School in recent history make Savile seem a benign p/t nonce.

this thread currently always opens at bolton's o-face, bo-face if you will

If someone had explained earlier that Liberalism was a smug brylcreem tosser in a C+A suit I would have voted for the scruffy cunt who looks like he's on m-cat much sooner.
