although that towel crammed under the door to stop drafts does have an analogue in America. stupid teenager stoners that smoke inside will cram towels under doors in a futile effort to limit the smell

Samovar posted:Anyone read that Brincel piece? Any 'good' parts in it? I'd read it myself but my brain refuses to let my finger click the link. Neither Francois or Bridgen have yet expressed themselves with the passion that Baker has, perhaps only because they are not able to. (One Tory Brexiteer describes the three men thus: “Mark Francois: idiot, Andrew Bridgen: 75% idiot, Steve Baker: sometimes lets his emotions cloud his judgment”). When members of the ERG started to say last week that they would fall in behind May’s deal, Baker wrote in a WhatsApp group: “I could tear this place down and bulldoze it into the river. These fools and knaves and cowards are voting on things they don’t even understand.” On Monday, in keeping with what some are calling the “little corporal” theme on his side of the argument, Baker introduced himself on Sky News as “Brexit hardman Steve Baker”. “He thinks he is on a mission from God to save us from Europe”, a Tory colleague told me. Then there is Chope, best known for blocking attempts to tackle female genital mutilation and upskirting, and advising in recent weeks that those at risk from knife crime could protect themselves by “being fitter”. There is Cash, who complained that May’s deal would “castrate” the house, and there is Jenkin, who has attempted to answer Scottish objections to Brexit by saying that England had “let” them vote “in our referendum”.

So the british voted against hard brexit again and to extend the deadline but the EU was pretty adamant that they weren't getting another one unless they agreed to participate in the EU elections. So, did the MPs actually vote yes on that or do they just expect to get another free extension?

the system was based on pulling swords from stones or anvils on stones and not catching swords thrown by nymphs. Monty python got that wrong but it’s funnier the way they did it so whatever.
