Sorry I thought you were a landlord when I gave you your old avatar!
Watching Lewis & seeing that outright plonker Lozza being feted (in character) as some sort of intellectual.

Snipe: 201 Room 101+100. (That is Room 101 from 1984 book not the stupid game show).

"You asked me once," said O'Brien, "what was in Room 101. I told you that you knew the answer already. Everyone knows it. The thing that is in Room 101 is the worst thing in the world."

Is she saying it's because they'd initially pledged (lol) to spend around £50bn on green projects?
Or is this one of the proposals where they basically stuck a massive asterisk next to every bit of spending and said "If we can afford it, I guess"?

I'm guessing it's a John Waters project of "don't vote for Labour if you're a drunk, a sexual deviant, a loose woman, or anything else that makes these orthodox Catholics not want to view you as a real person worthy of a vote."

I remember chuckling smartly to myself aged 21 watching the South Park episode about making a choice between a turd sandwich and a giant douche in 2004 and thinking "hah, glad UK politics isn't that hosed and we have a reasonable choice." "What a silly country America is!"

Then I went on to "sensibly" vote for the lib Dems like a moron. Everything just got more :wtc: from there.

Lib Dems will betray you, labour are utter shits desperate for a turn at the wheel and will do anything to get it. Tories are well...Tories.

Completely never going to happen hypothetical here but constitutionally what would actually happen if an abstentionist party did win a majority in the commons? I guess you'd have some insane situation where a minority govt would take over and kinda govern despite the house being more than half empty?

Mind that might be a good thing if only because there'd actually be enough room for everyone. Westminster looks so dumb by comparison to literally every other legislature with everyone packed in and yelling at each other and voting by walking through lobbies. Holyrood for all its flaws looks positively serene by comparison with each MSP having an actual dedicated seat and electronic voting and the rest of it.

Okay but if we change that then where would we be? Hundreds of years of Parliamentary tradition thrown into the Thames, and for what? Just to have a more efficient legislature that doesn't look completely clownshoes?

They'd stop being abstentionist for long enough to declare independence/reunification and then gently caress off, presumably.

Maybe try to pass some laws to make the independence/reunification work better, too.


On second thought this was a dumb post about a dumb premise, I don't think there'd be any appetite for it, at least within SF, since you still have all the unionists living in NI one way or another. I don't think Westminster is the biggest barrier to reunification.

I'm reminded of Jon Ronson's infiltration of the KKK in America, where he wrote about the distinction between the 'formal racists' who are like "oh golly gee I'd never say the n-word I just think that nice hwyite families need to be given preferential treatment in law" and the 'dirty racists' who are straight up "we're back and we're bigger, ain't you glad you're not a...", which also reminded me of Khaya Dlanga's piece To hell with polite racism.

So the one thing I can think to say about Laurence Fox is that at least he's not hiding behind polite racism, the sorry oval office. Sies man! You touched me!
