May modifying the Good Friday deal is somehow going to end with a unified Ireland that contains Scotland as well.

She's so unwilling to change anything about her EU deal she's gonna gently caress with the GFA instead?? This can't be real. How is this even supposed to work. How can she think there's time for this kind of nonsense?

I'm always quietly pleased when the news is on at work and someone says they feel sorry for Theresa may because then I can explain to them at length why she's a loving moron who created a hell of her own making that we all have to live in by making the single stupidest, most shortsighted decision she possibly could at every point, you moron, you idiot

The good friday agreement is one of those things that even if you're going to do some stuff that's against it, you should just quietly do the stuff whilst still paying lip service to the good friday agreement. You shouldn't just say gently caress the good friday agreement. Like that poo poo has never ever been followed to the letter, everyone knows it's a slightly idealistic thing and when the reality doesn't quite match the agreement you gloss over it because the idealised symbol that can be pointed at is valuable/noble/useful in itself. Getting real sick of tories loving about with things more important than they are lads

It's interesting how every single good thing Blair ever accomplished has been or is in the process of being torn down. Inequality is the only issue, if you don't have the guts to tackle that then every valuable thing, done by you or not, will inevitably be degraded and sacrificed. Inequality is everything.

http://ruralconservative.co.uk/the-car-crash-involving-hrh-the-duke-of-edinburgh-our-response/quote:The car crash involving HRH The Duke of Edinburgh – our response I can't tell parody any more. I hoped for a moment that I had stumbled on some kind of neo-Day Today project but I think this site is legit. quote:Once you start ploughing that furrow you will end up saying that there is nothing special whatsoever about the Royal Family and that we are not to accord them any privileges at all, in any shape or form. That they are just like us, just one of us, and should be treated accordingly. Fine, but then that is the end of the Monarchy as we know it.

Any idea of tearing up the GFA is just the worst. One of the very few good things the Blair government managed to a achieve was the NI peace process resulting in the GFA, leading to the IRA laying down arms and committing their movement to purely political means. Any form of Brexit shits all over the GFA. It was an agreement written up and passed into law by two EU member states under the assumption that both states would remain part of the EU for basically forever. The DUP position is loving mental, in true DUP fashion. They have always been opposed to the GFA, and a return to the violence of the past is not seen as a bad thing from their perspective, as sectarian hatred and bigotry is the driving force behind their politics.

An insane mind posted:Is there even something she can give the DUP that won't piss off the Tory rebels or vice versa? Or create new rebelions from scratch? No. She can't even unify her own party because there's too many people very pro Brexit and almost as many pro Remain. A second referendum would have a majority in Parliament but probably would not have a majority of her own party and she cares more about keeping her party from splitting than the country at large.

As for privilege – theirs has been a life of remorseless duty. The Duke retired from public life less than two years ago, already well into his 90s. The Queen’s service to the nation will be lifelong. Not for them the privilege accorded to the rest of us, of working until we’re about 60 and then enjoying a long retirement, doing as we please. And he's done it, ladies and gentlemen! He's put the whole boot in his mouth! Incredible!

When Corbyn was appointed to the privy council there were literal weeks of non-stop fevered speculation in the papers about whether he would or would not kneel and kiss the Queen's hand because British journalists' brains are riddled with parasites

I’m pretty seriously concerned about the wellbeing of my British friends come springtime. April will surely be the cruelest month. It’s been a car crash in slow motion over the past couple of years, sure, but now it’s really getting to be crunch time, and there’s not much of that slow motion sequence left. Some of you are still joking about it and keeping a stiff upper lip, while others are preparing for something like the siege of Sarajevo. I think one severe problem at hand is that almost everyone in the U.K. who didn’t live through the blitz on some level fundamentally believes that they, as a Brit, are not ever going to be subject to the famines and crises which are experienced by other countries. Food shortages? In my Britain? It’s more likely than you think. Please take care of yourselves, Britgoons.
