God this is even better. I'm losing my mind. Someone should probably make the Queen a strong cup of coffee just in case she gets a late night visitor. I'm being optimistic of course but hey, at least I've changed the tune for a moment.


Not sure you know what a hard socialist is.

Nothing in Corbyn's plan proposes ending capitalism. More's the pity.

For the UK, hard socialism is considering privatising the trains, but then not doing it. But saying it might be cool if we did.

One thing that honestly I find baffling is the suggestion that having a second referendum would be undemocratic blah blah blah, yet May seems determined to have her poo poo deal voted on as many times as it takes to go through. The hypocrisy of the whole thing is absolutely beyond staggering.

May constantly presents herself as the sole diviner of the Will of the People, for everything from the reasons why people voted to leave to their absolute approval for May's deal or brexit at all costs. Whenever anyone even suggests asking THE PEOPLE what they think about any of this, she refuses and says the people have spoken and she knows what they desire

He's happy to go on TV shows and take the piss out of himself. (Or was before leadership was a serious thought for him).

How many Tory politicians are? I can't stand the guy, but I am pretty sure my mother's circle like him, and most Tory voters certainly do. For them, I am pretty sure they see him as charasmatic.

Wasnt one of the reasons for brexit because "the EU makes you repeat votes until it gets the result it wants"? Almost like the problems were coming from inside the UK the whole time.

Bercow can tell her to gently caress off, but it might be hard for him to justify if there was a real chance it might pass.
