Chuka Umana posted:Well if Boris is gone you can kiss any chance of spending increases for the next ten years goodbye. If austerity reasserts itself as a dominant political project then the UK collapses and we'll have to rebuild something anew so I'm not really worried about its long term implications.

How many in the cabinet are now frantically phoning round getting monkey glands installed so that they don't die of Covid? This is just the dumbest way this can happen isn't it. This entire thing is ridiculous.

Bardeh posted:that IDS quote basically confirms that Boris is pretty much already fighting for his life, doesn't it? none of this 'moved as a precaution' bullshit Very much so. That's not the talk of someone who has been told "The PM's in intensive care but it's mostly as a precaution in case his health fails further, at the moment we have every reason to be optimistic." That's the talk of someone who just got a briefing saying something like "The PM is literally unable to breathe unaided and his chances of pulling through are low and declining by the hour."

Imagining the Cabinet all rushing to the hospital to be around the Great Man and they start hashing out succession only for him to wake up briefly, make What I'm saying is his death will be as joyful and as chaotic as the Death of Stalin. Corbyn strides in, swinging his dick, shrugs off his badass longcoat, and goes "I took Islington North, I think I can take a flesh lump in a business suit"

He's already fuckin dead isn't he. he's been dead for like 4 days and the government isn't sure what to do to avoid a mass panic so they're dragging it out as long as possible weekend at bernies style so they can lessen the blow.

If this year keeps going at this kind of clip then it's going to be March 2021 at the earliest before someone remembers that we technically hard Brexited, and everyone will be too busy with the sudden arrival of C'thulu to even acknowledge it.

The irony of it, the protagonist being hoisted by his own petard. The very definition of a tragedy. This is the sort of thing noted classicist Joris Bonson loves. Truly this is the death he would want.

It wasn't even the laziest option it was the actively stupidest option. The man who was supposed to run the country for five years has probably killed himself within months of taking charge because he saw a sign that said "do not stick your dick in the woodchipper" and decided that clearly he had to stick his dick in the woodchipper to show how clever he is.

I don't want him to die because every death suggests the IFR and CFR are worse, and selfishly that's pretty much the only reason.

I'm not convinced any of the shitshow of replacements in the tory party would want to take over once boris RIPs outa here. Brexit was bad enough, but at least they could massage things with their extensive control of the media. Pretty hard to bullshit and blame brussels on the massive loving body count but obviously they'll try.

Nothingtoseehere posted:They reported it yesterday, when it wasn't true. Their predictions subsequently happening doesn't not make an earlier report bullshit. While that's an excellent post-username combo, I feel the need to point out that Dominic Raab said he hasn't spoken to Johnson, the person supposedly running the government's COVID-19 response, since Saturday. We're pretty clearly getting news on a time-lag here.

I know that if I was a secret agent trans rights infiltrator, my priority would be making up fake sexual assault accusations against a man who is no longer in any position of leadership within the party and has expressed no desire to return. Yup makes perfect sense. (Sorry about your rear end in a top hat dad)
