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

all i'm going to say is this guy doesn't seem acquainted with some basic elements of social communication

These Centrist thugs are bringing the Labour Party into disrepute >:(

this is an interesting piece imo. amongst other stuff it flags up the same concerns with post-45 nationalization that my dad used to voice - "they took over the companies but they left the same old bosses in charge"

good stuff ty

staaaaaaate

gosh it's almost like tories have never given a second thought to anything ireland-related in their lives

Not since the bally rotters blew up Airey Neave, what?

I'd be amazed if Karen Bradley had ever been to NI before her appointment.

Or after.

there's a swelling feeling that Brexit may bring about a united Ireland.

maybe I'm just being incredibly naive.

Long term maybe but it’s a logistical and economic nightmare in any term and that’s not even thinking about incorporating the unionist population somehow.

I can’t remember if I posted the link here or not but May supposedly has doubts about winning a border poll - which the GFA says is grounds to have one.

More joy is demanded by @RuthDavidsonMSP and fun. I agree. #joydivision #onward

omfg!

has Truss actually had a higher education?

"her parents must have been very strong to raise that dumbbell" - trad

A comfort to know there are women like this in the tory party

The Who frontman Roger Daltrey has expressed his own distaste for Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn.

“Jeremy Corbyn is not a socialist,” he told Event magazine. “He’s a communist. Be honest about that and see how many votes you get, Jeremy, because otherwise, you’re going to be moving in to Downing Street under a false premise.”

says the rich dunce whose bandmate is a creepy old paedo, and wasn't very honest about it!

who frontman in 'failing to die before he gets old' shocker

Daltrey bought a home in Los Angeles in the early-2000s. Daltrey also owns a house in Sturminster Newton, which appeared on Grand Designs.[episode needed] Daltrey is a supporter of Arsenal F.C.[98] He supports Britain leaving the European Union[99] and is a supporter of the Conservative Party.

if Dignitas are ever doing a bring a friend twofer deal, he can bring captain paedo-research with him and at least they can try and make amends, if a little late.

Arsenal supporter is the worst, of course.

The cunt's from West London.

that's even worse than Townsend's heinous crimes!

People who include what football team someone supports alongside their homeowner status and voting habits are the real enemy.

all sport is counterrevolutionary

ban sport

He also disparaged the #MeToo movement, claiming rock stars are too desirable to women to commit sexual harassment or assault.

“Why would any rock star need to push themselves on women?” he said. “Usually, it’s the other way around. I’d like to have £1 for every woman that screws my ass. Mick Jagger would be a billionaire out of it.

he always did seem a bit of an "uncomplicated" lad.

well at least he enjoys pegging

Most of the Labour front bench, incl Corbyn, are Arsenal fans fwiw.

bunch of wankers!

Hard to avoid in Corbz manor.

see how easily sport divides us, comrades

ban sport

He was a #wengerin, iirc! Are people aware of the story about him and Hector Bellerin?

Also 'Proud Dad'.

gooner and comedian is a particularly toxic mix iirc:

Clive Anderson
Alan Davies
Paul Kaye
Matt Lucas
Rory McGrath
Dara Ó Briain
Ian Stone
Jack Whitehall

Osama bin Laden was a regular Gooner in the 93/94 season, he might have cut a conspicuous figure buying absolutely everything in the club shop, because he couldn't remember what sizes his 23 kids are.

nickb otm. speaking of bellerin, assume this has been shared somewhere on ilx already, but no reason not to post again:

correct

the correct reason for abolishing them rather than the JRM/May/Dacre sulky paws because they are continually pissing on their hard-brexit bonfire.

all agreed to the demand that they would vote for abolition when the opportunity arises

when the opportunity arises is it

so not going to happen!

journalism is hard, folks, even when you're as distinguished a figure as sky news' chief political correspondent

Very disappointed to learn reports that Ken Livingstone has or had a pet newt called Adolf, which I referred to y’day on TV & online, may not be correct. Am now told original source of this claim was satirical website “The Daily Mash”. Shame!

Everyone knows it was called Gingrich.

Feel bad for David Lammy and the absolute metric fuckton of abuse he’s getting for criticising Oxford. Always good to be reminded exactly how many cunts will queue up to look down on a man as accomplished as Lammy. Should’ve shut up and been grateful, I guess...
