kustomkarkommando posted:Guys who joined up in their 20s in the early 80s are pushing into their 50s so still a decade or so, but there is a younger generation of cunts who've been taken under their wing Im from a Catholic family, from the heartland of IRA territory in west NI. Maybe its just my area but the last batch of the 80s guys these days to be more docile than what you say. It's their kids and the younger generation that are the insane new IRA. The new IRA are selling the drugs around here, they may have kicked out dealers in the 90s under the name of DAAD, but when there was a gap the IRA and UVF took over selling. Like I know two insane poo poo heads, millennials, sons of the old IRA guard, who went to Dublin and tried to extort money from construction sites a few years back. When the Dubliners told them to gently caress off, they tried to steal diggers and tractors. Turns out the local Dublin gangs were extorting them first, so these two fuckwits nearly started a gang north/south feud. Rumor is that one can never goto Dublin again else will be killed.

Let me help you: Calling for a vote on leaving the European Union to boost your popularity. That is a bigger self-own. That is, in fact, the biggest self own in political history. And I know someone just brought it up but I feel like it should never be forgotten how phenomenally stupid that was.

The irony of the conservaties arguing we can't keep having referendums or votes about brexit because we already had one, and then internally deciding they're just gonna keep picking a new leader and running a new general election till they find one that fits. the hilarity.

Crabb is one who could boost them but is a risk for similar reasons. Preseli Pembrokeshire was very close despite basically being an exclave for the worst kinds of English.

Manic_Misanthrope posted:The best performance in a decade while the Tories toss away a majority has gone a long way to making Corbyn look more paletable to the Blairites. Centrism was never a strict ideology, just a path to power. Depends on the person. Blair himself is quite clearly an ideologue, and I'm far from convinced he voted Labour this time. A lot of the PLP are simply weathervanes though. Some of them are pretty talented and could probably be given shadow cabinet jobs, but none of them should be trusted and ideally they should be replaced by people with principles wherever possible. Raeg posted:Rudd's an interesting one because I'm not sure Tories would want to risk their leader losing their seat during an election. Yeah, it would have been amazing if she lost but a majority of a few hundred probably disqualifies her from being leader.
