I am very pro capybara in general but I am unsure of its capabilities in PMQs.

Also Cameron might try to put his dick in it.

E: 28 inches, a reasonable height for a capybara.

I will support Corbyn through any amount of resignations if he promises to use capybaras to fill any front bench position not required to speak on a given day.

Seriously is. Loves everyone, doesn't get pissed off at anything and takes tons of poo poo from people who ride on you, but is also seen by the majority of people as something they don't want to live with.

Slight aside but looked at farming Capybara's a while back to sell as pets but decided there just can't be the market for them in the UK to warrant the setup costs given they are a licensed animal which really limits the market.

Licenses are also about having the right facilities - capybaras need quite a lot of specific stuff, I think, like somewhere to swim.

Various animals require licences to keep the UK's animal balance in check. Capybara's unleashed on the UK on mass would completely gently caress up the balance on wildlife around streams and rivers.

Its not really that. That's the 'PC' side of it, but reality is all licensed animals are licensed as they would gently caress up the UK's ecosystem if they were released. They unlicense and add new license required animals to the license regime every few years and every time its always based around how much could they damage the UK if they got loose.

I didn't realise the UK had any political capacity left to make reasonable, reality-based decisions about how to protect its wildlife (a lot of that poo poo got outsourced to Brussels).

I like the philosophical point that our reliance on electronic devices for our everyday functions like gathering resources needed to live and communicating with others means we are cyborgs even if the devices aren't physically integrated into our bodies as their removal does actually lessen us as people.

It's pretty obvious to see a plot's coming when your opposition keep on going to the press and say how much they hate the leader and how they're going to rebel soon :v:

And it's not like you don't learn anything just because you can access the info at any time. I don't have to look up recipes or how to perform certain tasks any more than I would with a non-internet knowledge base. I'm pretty sure if I had to rely on a regular road map I'd be able to muddle through and broadly remember the direction of places I've visited before and read road signs instead of shrieking "what is this sourcery?!" and plunging into a river.

Great speech thanks for linking it up.

And yeah, it's not like the coup plots have been a secret - they could have learned about them by reading the drat papers.

What IS interesting to know is that they had a person on the inside of the coup plotters' meetings. I do wonder who.
