Yeah it's perfectly sensible to harp on a manufactured controversy, while the UK is a month away from running into a painted tunnel in the side of a mountain and flattening itself like a pancake.

A lot of people who consciously reject right wing ideologies have nonetheless been broken by years of subconscious indoctrination. Then they'll go full manchurian candidate when a slightest genuine chance for leftist shift in politics happens.

I'm sure after Brexit, Corbyn will lead the charge in transforming the UK to a socialist utopia. lol @ championing a guy that can't even enjoy touring the palace of rulers that were ousted (Schönbrunn) Even the socialist politicians are just sad in the UK.

I don't credit myself with some forward thinking insight that saw the Brexit result coming. It was something that I'd meant to do for a while but never got round to. The referendum announcement just spurred me into applying. In the past I'd worked in places across England in a range of lovely jobs and seen first-hand how deeply anti-EU sentiment ran among folk I worked alongside. A few arseholes but mostly a sound bunch of people who were making ends meet by doing the same poo poo jobs I was doing. But years of bombardment by right-wing anti-EU media constantly drilling into their heads the idea that the EU was to blame for all their problems and not the poo poo politicians in Westminster took its toll. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VstDOv0C1do

I love me some seaweed. Dulse has always been a popular thing here in NI, but in recent years it's become a bit gentrified with large amounts going overseas to be sold as the latest new superfood. I'm not sure we can ramp up production enough to feed the whole of the UK. But hey, if post-Brexit we're going to be reduced back to being a hunter-gatherer society I'd like to throw stinging nettles into the mix as a food source, They're high in lots of essential nutrients. The trick is to pluck the leaves while brushing away from the stem so that the stinging hairs don't irritate your skin. Once you master that one neat trick EU technocrats don't want you to know about, harvesting stinging nettles as a staple food source becomes simple and you have a virtually endless supply of essential nutrients. Think of it as spicy spinach.

Everyone remembers Liam Neeson saying that he went out looking to kill a black person after his friend was raped yes? Was it racist? Well, who's to say. In any case, I'm sure there are some rich white men who could shed some light on the issue. Hey look David Mitchell wrote a thing, surely he'll have an interesting perspective? [quote= "In the guardian"] Neeson’s remarks are, more than anything else, colossally surprising. They seem completely disconnected from the entire narrative of what’s supposedly happening to public discourse at the moment. You know, the whole feeling that celebrities “have to be so careful”. The sense that anyone saying anything publicly needs to tiptoe round the sensibilities of dozens of interest groups; that you never know when you’re crossing some line or other without meaning to; that basically, whatever you say, no matter how bland, “you can’t win”. Frankly, I think those fears are often justified. I think freedom of speech is sometimes hemmed in unnecessarily and perfectly nice people who have said something slightly careless can get into unfair trouble. Then again, I’m an affluent white man and I accept that I don’t necessarily get all the ways in which certain statements can subliminally reinforce prejudice against historically oppressed sectors of society. But that’s been the debate, right? It has, hasn’t it? I wasn’t imagining it? [/quote] https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2019/feb/10/why-didnt-liam-neeson-just-stick-to-script" Oh.

Leaving aside racism we all have intrusive thoughts that can be violent or otherwise against society but Liam is a member of a very small group of people who acted on them, even if he didn't ultimately find anyone to kill.
