she almost certainly works at the train and first class is much better suited for that. i don't believe for a second that she worried that she'd be snatched and murdered on a cheaper train ticket

Is the 'first class' train in the UK like Germany, where it's only like 20EUR more expensive and in exchange you get a slightly bigger seat and much fewer children?

basically, it's an insanely trivial thing chucked in to kick her on the way out the door which is why it's so funny that's she's clearly kept real receipts on kier and he's now holed up in his office sweating bullets

Very slightly less than half the county voted remain, we should tell them to gently caress off and die forevermore, otherwise we are overturning democracy. Got it.



sorry, was working on papers. yes, less than half voted for it - that means it didn't win. they don't have to gently caress off and die but they did lose an election. and you don't get the thing you want - because you lost the election! and it's going to suck and be terrible and you can smugly watch the idiot spanish expats whine as they're kicked out and say i told you so, but what you can't do is go over to spain and repeatedly tell immigration enforcement that you didn't like the result of the election we're not doing it.

we can sit and talk until the cows come home about how silly cameron was to put something so important to an idiot referendum or how leave was dishonest or whatever horseshit and how it's definitely going to cause horrible conditions for literally no reason but, (and this is literally the foundational principle of any relationship the people in this country have to democracy btw) if there's a vote, and someone else wins it, the election is over and you lost. you have to do the dumb thing the majority decided! and you always did, and why me starting a Follow Back Pro Corbyn account to get him unilaterally declared prime minister because he'd be better at it and building elements of my personality around the sincere belief that if my argument was good enough the other MPs and rest of the country would go "gently caress he's right" would be loving insane.

every one of those goddamned marches and press stunts and babies first parliamentary democracy fantasy about loving sien fein taking their seats or the queen doing something something something communicated one thing to the majority of this country with absolute clarity, coming in crystal clear with loving quadrophonic sound: "i know better than you. i am smarter than you. you're too stupid to vote, so it doesn't count. oh, also you're stupid enough to fall for double or nothing (except not double just nothing) because it's a Compromise with me and i deserve Compromises because, and this is really important, i'm better than you and my needs must be prioritized. god you're loving stupid for voting wrong i hope i'm enough of a saviour to fix your fuckup" and, this is the twist, they hear all of this despite that fact very very evidently doing the stupidest thing imaginable in that circumstance, something that would plainly never work, saying these things while advocating for the dumbest, most naive and just loving stupid political concept - the Lets Negate Voting party, the First One Doesn't Count Doover party, the Scoreboard Broken Probably Set Up Backwards In Fact I'm The One Up Fifty Points Because of How Good At Baskeball I Am party.

an entire goddamned class of people so utterly unused to losing elections that they react like this which tells you something. you wanna be remain in 2021 why not restart the coalition against the iraq war, see if we can get that undone? start the King loving Canute party to address rising sea levels.

It shouldn’t be surprising to me that Labour have lost nurses. Out of any group of people I know nurses were the most consistent Corbyn boosters. Also I’ve seen the absolute loving state of this last year in healthcare. And how angry people are that no one in politics seems to be sticking up for them, if they get time to check.

Still those stats from a few pages ago are shocking somehow. He didn’t just lose nurses a little bit as Labour voters, he full on massively lost them. What a guy, what a cop, what a maniac
