I didn't know they'd put Chris Grayling in charge of its implementation.
If anyone could kill the country's libido it's Chris Grayling.
Who actually is in charge of it though? I just realised I don't actually know.
Admittedly this seems partly a matter of technicalities - that the government hadn't made a proper assessment - but still
Yeah, had to stop at the second corbyn song thing, i'm no good at handling cringe.

That comment about the Right's fabled ability "to meme"...
It turns out adopting the views and speech pattern of your racist relative that makes family gatherings uncomfortable in your teens/early 20s is not a fantastic set-up for a life in comedy.
He's the MP for the City and Westminster - in normal times probably the safest of safe Tory seats, but if this triggers a by-election...
I'd be pressing assault charges on his ass pronto, in any case.
Quite likely the Lib Dem's win it, especially with Brexit splintering the Tory vote.

This as well. The Party has been a PR disaster the last 24 hours.

It's easy to sleep at night when you live in the world of Cayman Islands bank accounts and after dinner speeches. This is all a game to see who can get the most adoring biography commissioned, it's not real life for them. David Cameron destroyed our society and the only consequence for him was that his memoirs are going to sell like shit.
Pretty much. Their victims are so often not their voters that they get to live in their own little choose you own adventure novel, deluding themselves into thinking they always made the right choice and bettered the country - not because they actually care about doing so but because they wanna be a main character in history.
They don't care about my Jamaican bruvas and sistas.
Fuck the Tories
...Apparently no-one knows if any payments from the scheme have actually been made yet. Did the Tories honestly just make up a fund that doesn't exist?
C'mon Bro the tories love the Windrush generation I mean surrrreeeeeeeee they may have been some insy winsy itsy bitsy "oopsies" but they get a whole DAY named after them and we are gonna give them a Memorial at waterloo station. See the Tories are so for the Windrush generation /s
It's not inconceivable that each party could take 25% of the vote in a GE. Depending on the distribution of seats that could really set the ball rolling on electoral reform.
New survation poll which have been the most accurate for the last few elections/votes.
Interesting that brexit is actually lower than the tories.

If it's a choice between Brexit and keeping Farage out of No.10 then I would choose Brexit. If Brexit happens he won't become PM.

What could the latter even do? He has shown himself to be lazy and incompetent. You'd just get another standstill.
You know that's not true. If Brexit happens Farage moves into the great purge portion of his plan. Kick anyone who isn't a national out. The end goal isn't leave the EU, it's to push his isolationist policies when he has the pieces in place to do so
Lazy and incompetent yes but dangerous, BoJo/Cunt even with their bluster know what no-deal entails, Farage doesn't seem to grasp the fundamentals of fiction-less trade and the treaty's that make up our EU membership so he'll try to go for no deal and lets not forget that he is Trumps lap dog so the UK could be dragged into the middle of the Iran-US escalation. Something I feel the UK should stay away from.
If we can purge does that mean it's like the third one so politicians aren't protected?
In all seriousness though I am deeply worried about a no deal Brexit and it's implications it could have on the UK and me personally and the access to my MS medicine, so if Brexit has to happen then I would pefer May's deal over anything else but remain over May's deal.
Remain>May's deal>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>No deal Brexit
This is dangerously wrong because every single one of them do understand what no deal entails, its just that they don't give a fuck because they will not only be insulated by its results but will actually profit from it due to their money and friends involved.
Don't mistake them spouting bullshit that is factually wrong for being misinformed or ignorant. It's just them saying what the base, media and rich friends want. Look at how well it works, you have half the tory part members being willing to sink their own team just to get brexit.
I'd be intrigued to know the poll results if instead of having BoJo vs Cunt, they'd ask Bojo vs Cunt vs May staying.
That's very wrong. Farage knows full well what he's doing. He wouldn't have had his daughter take German citizenship if not. He's a very calculating asshole trying to destroy the country and rebuild it to his image (while making a lot of money through it). Of all the Brexiter scums, he's the one with the long term plan. The others just want to make money and bugger off.
Yes I agree that Hunt/BoJo know what no deal entails even BoJo has to even swerve the October deadline question because he knows, he is just trying to game the EU into giving in (which we know won't work).
Farage on the other hand if you have listened to him on LBC doesn't seem to grasp it everything comes back to "If I have money and want trade someone will trade with me" he hasn't got a clue how our EU membership works and the trade agreements we have because of our membership, he doesn't even buy the argument that a higher population base = better trade deals it's always money. He still believes that the German auto industry will tell the German government to do a deal when they have already spoken that is to protect the unity of the EU.
I've seen it when someone presses on the detail he folds like a paperman.
His is wife is German and in Germany you can hold duel nationalities. See above your post for the rest.
Again, he knows what he is doing.
They all resort to deflection tactics because they know they are selling something that isn't actually possible. It's the idea they are selli, not the factual nature of it.
They know that the people who do care about the actual details already aren't on side so all they have to do is keep spouting rubbish and rile their base up for not getting what they want to believe is not only possible but easy to do.
I want faster rail transport so I don't mind HS2, however all they'll do is continue HS2 connecting the North West and London and cancel HS3 which would have connected the North West and North East together.
Some HS3 infrastructure will be built by HS2. Manchester HS2 station will be oriented such that the branch to the HS2 mainline can be extended on to Leeds. And then where that branch does part from the mainline, the junction will have passive provision for continuing on to Liverpool. I think it will come, eventually.
Of course he says that in public, that's what his whole business model is based on: selling gross over simplifications to people confused by the complexity of the world.
The question is whether he knows it's dumb and false. There's no proof he does, but it's far safer to assume he does.
