bitmap posted:drat guys im starting to think that for some unfathomable reason there are a bunch of tories who want to rule over a loving wasteland with no eu regulatory oversight when it comes to human and worker rights I kinda used to feel like "Hey the UK took a different route to modernity than France, without the bloody aristocrat killing revolution or five, and it all basically worked out in the end." And um well.... thinking you guys should have been killing the aristocrats when you had the chance.

Quicksilver6 posted:I know there’s a lot of self delusion involved but I still can’t quite believe May’s behavior. It’s one thing to to hold on to the job by doing bullshit the tories think they want- it’s quite another to agree to burn the whole place down because not immolating everything would be unpopular. Theresa May has less behavioural flexibility than an earthworm. If an earthworm is tunnelling happily away and encounters negative stimuli, it'll try to avoid it. It's not even a joke. She genuinely seems incapable of realising she could just, y'know, take her hand off the stove

The politicians and the media obviously wouldn't want to talk about it but I wonder how many of them are just worried about being assassinated by probrexit psychos. When was the last time an English politician was murdered before jo cox?
