On further looking at it Lancashire isn't as clean as Yorkshire, some of the rural areas in Lancashire went Leave overwhelmingly, while in Yorkshire they all were around 50/50. So Scotland, Yorkshire, Northern Ireland, & London should split off and let the rest of them burn.

Cerebral Bore posted:

It's not even that, it's the idea that Corbs somehow sabotaged the Remain campaign by not claiming that the EU can have no flaw. In an election where most voters voted Leave this approach seems pretty loving unlikely to have given bigger dividends in Remain votes than acknowledging that the EU is flawed but reformable into something better.

It's a complete nonsense argument, and I'd dismiss it as another example of generic Corbyn Bad stuff if it weren't for the fact that some people seem to believe it sincerely.

The entire referendum was something of a poison pill - it's also put a lot of very real fear into the idea of democracy as one person one vote, so to speak - but we know it wasn't really about change in the UK. The underlying systemic issues - the state of Journalism being a major factor/side effects of capitalism - that helped along the Leave campaign to victory are indeed the problem. (David Simon is a good point of reference here)

Also the PLP were hoping for a crisis, likely not of this magnitude, to lay at the conservatives feet in order to become electable - hence the rush to push Corbyn out right now, while mixing it up in the aftermath of brexit. However the Leave outcome and all this talk of coming together after flirting with a “pseudo” fascist rhetoric; has made the underlying tensions from the last 30 years of ideological policy bubble to the surface, in the worst possible way.

Been revisiting a lot of Adam Curtis older work over the past few weeks. The Living Dead, The Century of the Self, The Power of Nightmares etc. Figure some of you might be interested as well, lot of his work is more relevant than ever.

They are trying to engineer it so that May wins outright so it doesn't go to the membership, as they must be worried her evilness Leadsom will win if it went to the wider party.

It was never a piece of actual written legislation called the "Union of the Crowns" but it did lead to a court case declaring that the crowns were in union and therefore the subjects were in common, which under the British constitution and English common law is as good as.

Concerns had been expressed that extending the privileges of English subjects to all Scots would cause England to be flooded by "an influx of 'hungry Scots'".

The right wing press still wet themselves over Thatcher being a shopkeeper's daughter and have been making a big deal about May being the daughter of a vicar.

I've no idea what Andrea Leadsom's father did for a living, but I assume it wasn't salt-of-the-earth enough to get their Thatcher boners twitching.

Sorry for the confusion, it didn't came out right. What I mean is: Margaret Thatcher is often referred to as ' the grocer's daughter'. Maybe it's all in my head but I noticed that there is a trend in the media to describe various female politicians as "her father's profession's daughter" as a way to link them to Maggie.
For instance, here's a yesterday DM headline: "The vicar's daughter who met her husband at a Conservative disco: Deadly serious. Utterly steely. After all those Etonians, could this grammar school girl, whose grandmothers were in service, be just what Britain needs? "

Sir Humphrey would've prevented the referendum happening in the first place.

quote:

Sir Humphrey: Minister, Britain has had the same foreign policy objective for at least the last five hundred years: to create a disunited Europe. In that cause we have fought with the Dutch against the Spanish, with the Germans against the French, with the French and Italians against the Germans, and with the French against the Germans and Italians. Divide and rule, you see. Why should we change now, when it's worked so well?
Hacker: That's all ancient history, surely?
Sir Humphrey: Yes, and current policy. We 'had' to break the whole thing [the EEC] up, so we had to get inside. We tried to break it up from the outside, but that wouldn't work. Now that we're inside we can make a complete pig's breakfast of the whole thing: set the Germans against the French, the French against the Italians, the Italians against the Dutch... The Foreign Office is terribly pleased; it's just like old times.
Hacker: But surely we're all committed to the European ideal?
Sir Humphrey: [chuckles] Really, Minister.
Hacker: If not, why are we pushing for an increase in the membership?
Sir Humphrey: Well, for the same reason. It's just like the United Nations, in fact; the more members it has, the more arguments it can stir up, the more futile and impotent it becomes.
Hacker: What appalling cynicism.
Sir Humphrey: Yes... We call it diplomacy, Minister.

A furious Jeremy Corbyn appeared to have been held back by aides after he lost his cool with a reporter today when asked if he was "running away" from answering questions about his beleaguered leadership.

A journalist posed the question to the Labour leader after he spoke at a 'Love Islington, Say No to Hate Crime' rally on Highbury Fields, in North London, but a visibly angry Mr Corbyn is said to have lunged in the reporter's direction in front of camera crews and photographers.

In other words, absolutely nothing happened. Watched the video in the article but an ad started playing halfway through.

Looks like the aides wanted to stop Corbyn from speaking, not starting a fight. Which to be fair, he has a reputation for doing.
