It feels wierd not to be expecting the very very worst thing to happen, but I am currently cautiously optimistic about labour's chances in this election.

Also went to see the Dollop live last night, If you follow that look forward to an upcoming episode about a man who couldn't use a hammock but went on to defeat religion.

trident submarines carry american nukes that almost definitely can never be used against the US and is generally the most sub bitch form of nuclear armament any country in the world has

It is right up until some redneck forgets to turn off the "return to home" function on the missile and your nuclear deterrent starts heading for Nebraska instead of Moscow.

Seriously why does that function even exist?

I'm pretty sure they used to target Washington DC by default if you launched them without setting a target.

POWERFUL FUNGAL LORD



A Lib Dem just looked me in the eye and told me Labour can't win here (52 CON(-10%)/33 LAB(+10%) in 2017)

I was too shocked to tell him to go gently caress himself or to try to waste his time so I stuttered an excuse and shut the door.

He also said I wouldn't see Labour canvassing around here "because they know they can't win", which considering we're right next to actual 20-vote marginal Kensington and Chelsea does not seem particularly odd to me, but what would I know :shrug:

I clicked through to the CBBC Twitter and scrolled down for a bit and I reckon that's a part of the BBC that can stay when the other departments are being reeducated. It all looks quite good and wholesome.

I wonder how many parents/guardians watched this lovely interview with their offspring and were led to reconsider Corbyn as a possibility?

"Keep Trident so Corbyn can first strike the US" is a new and unexpected take to me, but I'm willing to listen.

for me it makes sense to have some means of defending a socialist-leaning uk government against america, but it'd have to be a different line of nukes from trident. there's a reason the US is all talk and no action when it come to north korea

edit: and also we should have like 25000 ICBMs trained on the cayman islands at all times just as an added layer of protection

quote:

Referring to one recent call to Johnson, she says: “He heard my voice. And I knew it was him. And he hung up. He said ‘Yes, hello’ and I simply asked: ‘Why did you block me?’ I wasn’t calling to cause problems, I merely just wanted a simple ... acknowledgement for what had happened.”

On another occasion, shortly after Johnson became prime minister, Arcuri says she was very keen to speak to him because she had heard that reporters were contacting her friends.

“When I expressed the interest to want to speak to him, I was told: ‘There are bigger things at stake’, and I was brushed off as if I was one of Kennedy’s girlfriends showing up to his White House switchboard, you know, here to do my, you know, calling. And I felt so disgusted and humiliated that I was told: ‘Bigger things are at stake; never mind you, he’s too busy for you’.”

Arcuri said that, when she tried his personal phone on yet another occasion, she was summarily passed to someone who spoke to her in a language she believed to be Chinese.

Interesting that the Tories have increased their vote share by nearly 3 points, but lost 21 seats according to this prediction.

Hopefully this means they're at the point of diminishing returns when it comes to shoring up their vote, while small improvements for Labour could make big differences.

Because if everything else fails and a live missile is accidentally launched dropping it somewhere safe in your own borders is considerably better than just going "gently caress it, might as well just kick off armageddon".

100% guarantee that the PR guy kicked and screamed the entire way that this was a bad idea and Prince Andrew is so convinced of his genius he did it anyway and then blamed everyone else when he started making up bizarre lies about having the sweat shot out of him and that he goes to Pizza Express.
