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

you start thinking there can't be any conspiracies, when the majority of people disseminating them are all clowns and fules!

exactly, it's Tweets within Tweets

tbfttl he did uncover a lot of important stuff both in Uzbekistan and on Alisher Usmanov, though I guess nobody particularly caring when he was right probably did not help.

it's these extremist echo chambers that have done him in, Lucy Powell otm!

michael crick’s hair did brexit

dunno why they're all dressed as perverts

LITTLE COCK AND BALL FACES, matt is good not bad

Remarkable.

Because of our vote to Leave, mainstream politicians are taking ownership of immigration as an issue and won't be held to ransom by extremist parties, says @GiselaStuart. @iiea pic.twitter.com/AgftRWAHp7

I bet all those folks left homeless in parts of the Caribbean without a passport or nationality will be eternally grateful for the protection Brexit has afforded them from extremist parties.

Plainly they are not being entirely open. Most likely interpretation of that is that they are a gay couple - not a good thing to admit in Russia, sadly - and that they are involved in the dodgy end of the bodybuilding supplements trade.

It occurred to me that about two thirds of my holidays are roughly as suspicious and I should extend some sympathy in that regard.

‘What were you doing in Siberia in 2016?’
‘Uh, I wanted to see Tomsk’s famous 19th century wooden houses’
‘And you visited Switzerland for eight hours a few years ago?’
‘There was a sale on fancy jackets at a shopping mall’

some remarkable wood on display in Tomsk, I hear.

Matt nails it again

I almost died laughing

Media should be hammering Tories over this.

yeah but some wanker from the TUC has dismissed Labour AS as made up by the state of Israel. So that's the main story today.

If only these dickheads would learn to stfu occasionally, no chance of ever getting anywhere near the moral high ground (if there is such a thing really!) over the other racist party with that mindless shit-talking.

https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-news/zainadin-fazlie-deport-home-office-taliban-afghanistan-shot-dead-refugee-a8536736.html

stories like that go way back to the 30's. In Wachsmann's KL book there was an account of a Jewish guy who got into the UK with fake papers, told the HO he was going to be put into protective custody by the Nazis. The HO deported him, he died in Dachau. Just saying cos Tories (inc the Labour ones) often talk about this fantasy of what a welcoming country this was in that era for refugees, notwithstanding unaccompanied children etc.

I'd happily shoot every fucker responsible for this

never in doubt

stunning stuff from @bellingcat. https://t.co/v5nSpSpjJ4

I am shocked

Looking forward to Craig Murray's explanation for this.

S.S. is a common abbreviation for “sovershenno sekretno”, Russian for “top secret”

lol I'm sure back in the Soviet Union days they wouldn't have given the fucking game away on the passport.

well, thats one for Craig to pursue anyways!

I went down to Salisbury
To listen to the choir,
A pair of Russian tourists
They were staring up the spire,
Staring up the spire, they were,
Silent and aghast,
Against the sky, hurtling by,
A piggy flying past.

pam knows what time it is

she's obv an MFI agent!

operating under deep upholstery cover.

Craig Murray can prove she's not even been to Salisbury since April 2008.

bellingcat but an actual kitten, with a bell

there was a poll quoted in the Observer yesterday (from a sample of 2000 people) that most would vote for a new centrist party. In the last week we've had Macron mugs, him talking like a cunt to an unemployed person, an oh yeah he's got a record low approval rating and Nation Rally is going neck and neck with his coalition. On the other hand Lord Jim O'Neill, aka Baron O'Neill of Gatley, former Goldman Sachs chief economist and Gideon's go-to economist (for what that is worth!) in The Times yesterday: "I find myself struggling to be that scared by the prospect of a Corbyn government. They have captured the mood of the times."

That poll probably says more about the appeal of 'none of the above' right now than anything else.

true, but that isn't what the "politically homeless" are currently saying. And I've not seen much comment from them on the current state of Macron's centrist coalition.

Then the party needs to have a leader that has appeal, a coherent program (not just "a people's vote" with anything else as an afterthought), an organised campaign that cuts through etc., to even transform this vague desire into votes.

The usual disingenuous bullshit here

https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2018/sep/17/four-in-10-people-think-multiculturalism-undermines-british-culture-immigration

bloody mail graun at it again. They are prepping ppl for the new centrist party's manifesto launch!

Fifty-nine percent believed that the diversity brought by immigration has enriched British culture, but half said public services were under strain from immigration and that migrants were willing to work for less, putting jobs at risk and lowering wages.

your problem is with capitalism not immigration, comrades

half said public services were under strain from immigration

i think anyone on the left needs to shut this down immediately whenever it pops up

It's more impressive that half don't think that, given the constant barrage of nonsense they're subjected to - including from The Guardian.

On a scale of one to 10, do you feel immigration has had a positive or negative impact on the UK, including your local community?

Large city 6.19
Smaller city or large town 5.95
Medium town 5.63
Small town 5.58
Rural group 5.2
Overall UK 5.72

but that question just asks about impact, POSITIVE OR NEGATIVE.

"is this apple red or green?" "yes"

On a scale of one to 10, do you feel suburbanisation has had a positive or negative impact on the UK, including your local community?

On a scale of 1 to 10, how many bullets would you fire into rubes?

On a scale of 1 to 10, how heavy or light are you?

I also think that the word "multiculturalism" means very different things to different people. If I welcome free movement and settling from anywhere in the world but don't like segregated faith schools of any sort or the arbitrary selection of patriarchs as "Community Leaders" does that mean that I am for or against multiculturalism?

for

dying at this synopsis of rowling's new book.

It’s set amid the 2012 London Olympics, that last precarious moment of national unity. There are whispers of blackmail and double-dealing in the corridors of power and something suitably nasty and gothic that happened in the country seat of a Conservative MP. Strike and Ellacott must walk the line between corrupt Tories, devious coalition Liberals and brutish proto-Momentum activists.
