Nick No Boles. On this day in 1915, the Battle of Neuve Chapelle occurred. The first deliberately planned offensive in World War 1. It was a success, but with heavy losses, and with no real end results. John Charteris had this to say about it: quote:"... England will have to accustom herself to far greater losses than those of Neuve Chapelle before we finally crush the German army."

I just think the reflex reaction for everyone to shout "actually don't blame us" is p. frustrating when solid results turned in elsewhere are held as being equally as to blame as the failure of the campaign within England. If the Remain campaign could have returned number as well as it did in Scotland we'd have been laughing.

And I say that as someone who did Remain campaigning in NI and was bitterly frustrated with our lacklustre turnouts in strong remain constituencies and failure to mobilise the vote.

Or, you know, if the leave campaign could have not lied, cheated, denigrated experts, and generally been colossal assholes, we would probably not be leaving in the first place. Or if the Tories hadn't gambled the entire country's future in a political game/leadership squabble, we wouldn't have even been asked. blaming ANYONE in the general public for the result is entirely missing the point. This is a Tory politician problem, from beginning to eternal and frustrating middle. communism bitch posted:Is it wrong of me to be hoping for full on no deal turbofucking at this point? I don't think it would be good for me. Im just ready for the end. I'd prefer nuking, to be honest, it'll be less drawn out, less painful, and the nuclear winter might cool down the planet enough for the planet to be inherited by mammals rather than insects or bacteria.

The EU could have been a socialist utopia and people would still have believed it was a hellscape because the papers have been lying to them pretty much since its inception. Heck, if it were a socialist utopia they would be MORE likely to believe it was a hellscape, not less.

Completely love this and may make a point of firing it at every oval office who declares themselves to be Hufflepuff (why the gently caress is that in my phone's dictionary?) or whatever in political discussion. Instead of telling them to read other books, ideally Dune. https://twitter.com/GoodWitchLeigh/status/1105307775754592256?s=19

communism bitch posted:Is it wrong of me to be hoping for full on no deal turbofucking at this point? I don't think it would be good for me. Im just ready for the end. Dunno. I can't say I'm hoping for it, but I'm kind of relaxed about it. Don't have any faith in our politicians, don't think there's much regular people can do, it's going to happen, I've done nothing to prepare for it, I can't afford to gently caress off to a less basketcase place, so why worry? Don't think my SSRIs should have a shortage post Brexit but probably a couple years later we see trade deals with the Yanks that lead to the NHS being dismantled and I can no longer afford them and that'll be fun. If things start to kick off I might get motivated but until then it's just sort of a shrug at the inevitable horror of it all.

I think there was some detail mentioned here about several devices found last week, in london and Glasgow. https://www.standard.co.uk/news/crime/ira-claims-responsibility-for-london-and-glasgow-letterbombs-a4089166.html The IRA are claiming responsibility for sending our 5 devices matching the description (which apparently matches old IRA methodology too), when only 4 have been found.

It sure is annoying that every IRA splinter group claims to just be 'The IRA', because there's rakes of groups it could be but guaranteed some gammon blames Martin McGuinness. Yes, I know he's dead. Anyway, it sure is cool that people are acting like this is a shocking renewal when dissident Republican groups have been active in Northern Ireland to some extent for years, if not ever since the Good Friday Agreement. Our total ignorance of the goings on in part of this country is appalling.

Jose posted:Leavers are never going to be happy except with no deal btw Honestly, that question doesn't go far enough, because there are a whole bunch of people who were convinced we could get some kind of pie-in-the-sky impossible sweetheart deal. The 'no it doesn't' option needs to have 'too soft' vs 'too hard' or some more detailed equivalent to be informative.
