    Comedy is like music though. Just because you don’t like her doesn’t mean no one else does. People pay to see her at the end of the day.

    It’s sounding like Sunak has got a decent deal, all things considered. Tories buoyant in the tea rooms of parliament allegedly. I say all things considered, the oven ready deal is so bad all Sunak can do is improve it. Either way it sounds like he’s negotiated in good faith and that’s probably...

    Coronavirus Thread (Off Topic, Politics)

    Can’t say I’m surprised. I read an article last year about scientists being unable to find a single case in wild animals thought/suggested to be behind the original outbreak.

    Apparently Suella Braverman is too. Although her seat is/was considered a Tory safe seat. It’s a rural seat and farming/rural areas are reportedly turning their backs on the Tories big time so she’s concerned.

    Murmurings that the DUP are going to accept Sunak’s deal. Presumably if that’s true they’ll vote for it in parliament and return to Stormont. Good news if true and it pans out that way. I really didn’t see this coming, maybe they’re not as stupid as I thought and can see the writing on the wall...

    Season form suggests we’ll finish higher than our previous best of 64 points too.

    Heartwarming and heartbreaking at the same time.

    That’s because the Brexit battle lines were still being drawn. Come 2019 the lines were clear. Get Brexit done vs maybe get brexit done in some way. The Brexit voting red wall turned on him and Labour. His socialist manifesto meant nothing. He lost an election on a single issue that wouldn’t...

    Perhaps he was provoked. You know, like Putin.

    Depends on your yard stick. Longest period of sustained growth in UK history vs took us into an illegal war that has damaged the UK for decades. If he hadn’t done the latter I would say yes without a doubt but the fact is he did do the latter.

    Well, you can with one simple question. Why did Corbyn lose the red wall if not because of brexit? Biggest socialist manifesto in decades and the socialist red wall turned its back on it. A nett loss of 60 seats. There is only one possible answer. Brexit.

    Six years ago then. Before it became apparent what an absolute shit show it would be and how hopelessly optimistic project fear was. With the benefit of hindsight why the fuck would anyone vote leave now. I really don’t know what it is you think you’re achieving here. I’m not a sociopath. I’m...

    I was very much stuck in a tribalism mentality at that point in life. Still, I lived and learned.

    Okay here’s what would have happened if we voted remain. Cameron would have limped on to 2019/20 or until he handed the reins over ahead of the next scheduled GE. The Tories would have continued infighting and the political focus would have been on the failure of Tory policy, most notably the...
