happyhippy posted:Another thing we all have, we talk faster than most other regions in the UK. I'm northern and I work in a call centre so I speak to people from all over. But as soon as I go down to London it feels like nobody can understand me - I had a seriously hard time ordering any fast food at all for example. In place after place they'd just look at me baffled. People in the south are strange aliens who should be liquidated.

I mean even if you were in absolute lock-step with him ideologically (in which case you shouldn't even be in the Labour Party but that's another argument) the man has the same level of personal charisma as Michael Gove naked and skipping. He makes Ed Milliband look like Elvis.

I never have problems abroad getting people to understand me. Actually that's slightly wrong. Americans have a problem. I can go to Iceland and people are fine but as soon as I'm in London or America everyone's going "What???" In other news Arlene stays on. It's not too surprising but christ it's strange how the NI election is barely reported anywhere. That said most people probably don't realise NI is even the same country as the rest of us.

Isn't it a leading question to ask who was responsible for the loss and then include options like a speech, the weather, and the media? EDIT: Also it's a shame that people like Rebecca Long-Bailey aren't higher up in the polls. The fact that John McDonnell polls relatively high shows that people are willing to vote for a left-wing candidate. Although any talk of a possible Corbyn replacement is for nought while the rules and the PLP remain the same. Changing one or both of those should probably be Corbyn's priority at the moment. RLB was good on Peston today, although Ed Balls was there again to knife Corbyn. It looks like the leaks/attack articles from Labour MPs are ramping up again, so maybe we are on track for a second coup attempt. jabby fucked around with this message at 14:02 on Mar 5, 2017 |

Nice deflection. So why did you quote the Mail then? Is it just your usual news source? Why do you think the Mail is frontpaging made up stuff about Blair? Just innocently informing the public?

Philip Hammond vows UK will fight back if it gets bad Brexit deal https://www.theguardian.com/politic...py_to_clipboard So, what's harder than 'hard brexit'. I think we need a word for this coming clusterfuck.

I believe they are terming it "Nuclear Brexit". Which is to say, May makes unreasonable, impossible demands to EU, at which they'll go "Lol no, it's all or nothing, gently caress off", at which point she'll poo poo her pants in a tantrum, and ask Hammond to plunge us into a glorious Tory tax haven in a desperate bid to stop a potential hemorrhage of businesses relocating to the continent. Of course, we're probably going to be absolutely hosed if this happens. Unless Atlantis rises from the waves, and exculsively wants to invest in our great British industries of jam and cakes, or whatever bollocks Boris Johnson was trying to peddle.

Everyone is hosed. Some will be able to bear it better of course, but no one will be able to have any long term plans. If it really is as bad as everyone in this thread says it will be then the Tories are hosed. Either by people finally getting fed up with their poo poo (good result) or their base fracturing into ever more fascist splinters (bad result). That and the Union is finished.

Nah, Tories are not hosed, probably just delayed. May I direct your attention to Argentina: neoliberalism literally destroys country, then 15 years later, country votes for neoliberalism again. Even some members of my family wanted to vote for the neoliberal candidate and I was like "guys guys, wait, don't you remember the hell we all went through thanks to those policies? are you loving with me?" People are really, really loving stupid and vote emotionally.

No, they will blame the foreigners for being unreasonable and forcing them into this, and go 'you don't change horses in mid stream'. Meanwhile the left will infight like gently caress over some triviality.

Fangz posted:Philip Hammond vows UK will fight back if it gets bad Brexit deal There's been a trend lately of really really defensive statements and front pages written in the style of a small animal that puffs itself up to look like a threat. Stuff like BRITAIN WARNS EU: DON'T YOU DARE!! and ministers saying 'oi EU, we can totally have you, right everyone!?' The Leave side really aren't sounding confident at all, getting ahead of the story that's going to develop Funny, with britane so strong and the EU needing us so much you wouldn't think it would be possible for them to push us around in negotiations. Unless.... 🤔

The best part is that not only is Hammond not investing in the NHS and social care, he's literally putting money aside to tide the UK over during the totally good brexit process that cannot fail. That bus just gets more and more
