my closest british internet friend is both a massively pro-brexit tory shill and unemployed with serious health issues so I am equal parts extremely concerned about his wellbeing and laughing at what a colossal dumbass he is.

YES, THERE IS TOO MUCH SALT IN MY RECIPE

NO, I WON'T STOP SHARING IT

Marmalade means something very different in the UK to the rest of the continent but we managed to wangle it that the British definition is the official one for the whole EU

This is a source of consternation in Austria or something

that was a thing I thought, bangers had low meat content due to historic meat shortages and being British they kept the terrible food around

So if I got this right, May's newest idea is to negotiate a separate deal with Ireland even though Dublin has repeatedly made it clear that this is not something that is going to happen, ever? :psyduck:

They might be on it, but 'plan' is a little strong as few ministers are willing to tell their departments wtf is up so they're mostly improvising their own No Deal plans without ministerial input

Having a referendum where No Deal is an actual option is even more stupid than the original one. Stop putting things on referendums you aren’t willing to do.

Now there's a referendum

option 1: Cancel article 50
option 2: "No deal brexit (small print explanation of option: exit from the brexit option by canceling article 50)"

What is going wrong with that one (face is longer than it should be)
Am I stupid for thinking each option should have a short explanation? Like No Deal: The UK leaves Europe entirely. Trade and travel deals end'

Although I guess there'd be even more fighting over that then the already contentious issue of the framing of the question itself

In any case I don't see a referendum happening

She's going to get a drunken prince philip to drive her to the white cliffs of dover where she'll flip off france, then curl one out on a copy of the gfa while calling merkel in a comedy german accent to ask for a free trade deal with the power to sentence EU citizens to a lifetime of hard labour producing marmalade for the crime of being foreign.

i dont think centrists realise that corbyn is the moderate option and what we're really wondering is if the labour party can be a vehicle for revolution and if not then we're gonna have to do it the old fashioned way

When people bitch about corbyn being stalin I always say that he's not nearly left wing enough for me, and that he's actually really moderate.

Basically saying "gently caress u, I'm a communist, I know what communism is, and this ain't it". It does tend to give people pause for a second. Though I doubt it ever changes their minds

ran into a cousin who works for the beeb at my uncles funeral a few months back, this was my response when she asked if I was a corbynite

she's a political correspondent who did not know vote leave had even been charged over anything relating to the ref, not long after the guilty verdict. She was promoted straight there, from the weather, during the Cameron purges

can't imagine why the fourth estate is failing at it's job of explaining basic terms to people within a two year timeframe

I tend to severely downplay my knowledge, intelligence and experience both to myself and others, because I'm so deathly afraid of becoming another dunning kruger casualty.

But I'm finally coming round to the fact that I may, in fact, know and understand more about politics than 90% of journalists and politicians.

And if I can say that then we're really in deep poo poo
