So a picture of Remain campaigners in Maidenhead has been making the rounds recently. Can't imagine why.

I do find it fascinating how quickly some on the Tory side managed to change track. I know it's too much to expect some principles from them, but still.

goddamnedtwisto posted:What the gently caress? Why would you hate someone for being happy with his life? I didn't say the hate I have for this man is rational or warranted, now did I? But if I wanted to rationalise it I suppose I could say he's just hoarding and sitting on wealth instead of using it for any productive purpose, which to my mind is one step removed from the parasitic capital accumulation so routinely lambasted in this thread. Also, on a more base and visceral level, unalloyed envy. What the gently caress do you want from me?

TinTower posted:So a picture of Remain campaigners in Maidenhead has been making the rounds recently. Can't imagine why. I don't get it. Theresa May accepted the result of the referendum. If she hadn't the odds are that she'd not be PM right now. Assuming that's what you're getting at here, I don't think it's particularly noteworthy. She thought leaving was dumb, but as it's the will of the people & all that bollocks, she's going to make it happen. She's not making a particularly good job of it but there you go. Imagine how Andrea Leadsom would be doing.

I'm pretty sure that Theresa May won the leadership election out of Leadsom, Gove, and Fox eliminating themselves out of pure incompetence leaving her to win by default, but okay. Also https://twitter.com/politicshome/status/842384964234616832 Can't help but think they missed a trick on Tuesday night…

haakman posted:33% of our pork exports go non EU and it's the poo poo bits. Seriously this. Pig farming as it stands is unworkable in the UK, as its massively undercut by other EU countries. Its one of the areas if we did go to WTO terms I would expect to see a massive boom in as it would for the first time in almost a decade be a profitable form of general farming in this country. Honestly the UK farming industry could well come out good if the UK ends up on WTO terms with the EU - its possibly the only sector to do so though.

Yeah, I dunno that I'd generally call "asking for an update within two months" pressuring the Government, although with the apparent progress they've made with Brexit preparations so far I understand it may seem a rather sudden and arduous task to them.

An informal guarantee not to destroy the planet would be seen as "asking for running commentary" at this point.

Mogg is going to be rude to Eagle and she will cry. SNP bot and tiny face will argue in a way that means each side avoids answering the issues of the other. Music plays and the audience leaves to go beat up gypsie.

I'm actually a little interested to how utterly detached and maddeningly paternalistic Rees-Mogg will be over Brexit. He's never directly rude, he's always speaking like an after dinner speaker and he's just infuriatingly Tory.

Music plays and the audience leaves to go beat up gypsie. Dimbleby will ask a neutral question like 'how poo poo is the Labour party?' and in a shock result everyone from rival parties will think it's extremely poo poo. Meanwhile the Labour representative will fail to offer any defence or try to turn the discussion on to policy.

So the Lib Dems have decided to steal a policy that worked so well for Scottish Labour, and are proposing a 1p rise in income tax.

Coohoolin posted:Just a reminder that Scottish media is overwhelmingly pro Scotlab and anti SNP. No one is pro Scotlab. Scotland was, for a short time, a one party state before unforgivably and megaironically you made the Tories your opposition. Scotlab were turned into a non entity via identity politics: the idea that if you're Scottish and leftist then you're also nationalist. I mean politically it was genius machiavellian stuff but it does mean you've let the Tories gain a foothold as the price for destroying Scottish Labour as a concept.
