Happy New Year 2019 - Less than 90 days to go until Article 50 times out and something happens (Brexit listens. Brexit hungers.) For the gods keep hidden from men the means of life. Else you would easily do work enough in a day to supply you for a full year even without working. Angelo Herndon - You Cannot Kill the Working Class posted:The trial was set for January 16, 1933. The state of Georgia displayed the literature that had been taken from my room, and read passages of it to the jury. They questioned me in great detail. Did I believe that the bosses and government ought to pay insurance to unemployed workers? That Negroes should have complete equality with white people? Did I believe in the demand for the self-determination of the Black Belt—that the Negro people should be allowed to rule the Black Belt territory, kicking out the white landlords and government officials? Did I feel that the working class could run the mills and mines and government? That it wasn’t necessary to have bosses at all? I told them I believed all of that—and more...

Academies are a major source of blame. • Arch-shitpiles John Redwood and Donald Brydon both receive knighthoods for their pioneering ideas of selling the water, rail, banking, mail, and telecoms services off to looters. • Latest polls show that more people believe in alien contact from other worlds than believe in the Liberal Democrats Sporting News • Blyth Spartans have a new sponsor Twelfth Day UKMT Brexmas 2018 - At least you know where the swastika guy stands/Where we're going, we don't need ayes to leave UKMT November 2018: Sky Brexit Poll - 1488 people polled today UKMT October exotic bird munch 2018: They're all hungover and want to nationalise things/Everything May does right now is going to induce Labour UKMT September 2018 - Playing Chess While May's Still Playing Chequers/No, to the contrary.

Happy new year! I’m on a hill and I had to double check out of my window that my end of town wasn’t under attack so many large fireworks went off. Many many sirens happened at 00:05. I suspect someone sold a load of industrial fireworks out of the back of a van.

Tried to celebrate the new year at midnight and realised I had no idea when it happened because my phone, the radio and the TV all disagreed about the time. This failure of modern civilisation to achieve extraordinarily simple tasks is a good and accurate omen for the year ahead

Happy New Year goons This is the first year ever in my life I didn't go anywhere or see anyone on New Year's eve! Nice quiet night in cleaning up my spreadsheets and emails, and binge watching Person of Interest One of the best things from 2018 was discovering this forum. And the other good thing is this is the first New Year I have entered completely debt free since 1995!

I like how every year London attempts to destroy the London Eye with explosives, but it fights back with explosives of its own. Anyway, have a good 2019 goons. Buckle up though, you ain't seen nothing yet...

2019. The Brexit Project was our last, best hope for peace. A self-contained country 800 miles long, located in neutral territory. A place of commerce and diplomacy for a quarter of a billion humans and aliens. A shining beacon on earth . . . all alone in the night. It was the dawn of the Third Age of Gammonkind – the year the Great Civil War came upon us all. This is the story of the last of the British territories. The year is 2019. The name of the place is Brexit 5.
