The people who Boris is targeting want the country to crash out; they don't like Britain circa 2019 and they want a do-over. Current Tory orthodoxy is that Boris is more likely to win after NDB than before; completely insane if you zoom out from Westminster even slightly but that's just the new normal. Going to the country for the 2nd time in 2 years on a platform of 'I'll do Brexit' isn't the most dynamic platform.

Yeah, I thought there'd be a bit of a 'mission accomplished' feeling going on among the brexit gammonry, lowering turnout for the tories and leaving a gap for the people who fucken hate them, but you're right. poo poo.

Twitter isn't loading on my phone but the Guardian live feed has a tweet from Owen Smith, the almost Labour leader, saying we shouldn't hold a GE which is liked by less people than he had to beat off to win his wife

From a purely "out of body experience" point of view it's pretty interesting that we're watching what will be a pivotal moment in British history on the other hand, preparing a collection of weapons for the violent revolution that's to come without getting a visit from the bobbies...

Also the Tories went to the nation on a platform of 'we'll do Brexit', back when a land of milk and honey deal was still on the cards and with a leader who wasn't completely toxic to half the general population and got absolutely sat down. Now it's Boris telling us we have to cliff edge Brexit right now and don't fear there will be adequate food for most of you; not exactly the sort of hope and change that wins elections.

Whole day off so I could be around for the plumber to arrive because there's some problem with a leak in the pipe between the oil tank and the central heating system and apparently that's a job for the plumber? I dunno, was just told he'd arrive first thing and now it's 3:30 and I could have gone to slept for 2 hours longer, gone to town and back for some shopping and done all the dishes in the time I've been waiting. It's balls.

Aramoro posted:Pikelets aren't crumpets, they're more like drop scones. Pikelets are crumpets in North Wales and parts of the Midlands, it's from bara pyglyd, and the Welsh likely invented them. Sometimes they're slightly flatter crumpets baked without the ring, other times they're all crumpets. In Australia a pikelet is a type of pancake which I'm just going to add to the list of other things they're dangerously wrong about. A crempog otoh is a pancake.

The thing is that I think what Boris is doing may well fire up a lot of the Brexit lot. The problem is that they aren't so pivital in a lot of places as they would like to be. Once again I do have to point out that it's been 2 years of folks not being able to get on with their lives and/or many tory voters passing away. The likelyhood is that a fair amount of the "shy" Tories will probably vote Lib-Dem and Boris being yet another slug in a suit isn't as appealing to a lot of folks in the North even if he promises Brexit till his lips bleed. The idea that we should give up is seductive because it absolves us of failure. The idea of hope is a better one because it pushes us to be more than we are.

CRUMPET MENU: The Churchill - They say this crumpet is the only thing Churchill ate in the bunker during the war. Slow cooked veal/calf meat on crunchy sweet potato mash with a wine syrup The Lord Balfour - The famous crumpet that Balfour ate before signing his famous declaration (editor's note: the declaration was assuring the jews in palestine that they'll be able to live there or something, it's very famous in Israel and is taught in high school history as a pivotal moment). They say he signed it with the leftover sauce. Cubed goose in sichuan sauce on cabbage-turnip cream with herbs The Stephen Hawking - His theory of black holes was based on the bubbles in the crumpet's dough. Chopped liver on mash potatoes spiced with horse radish and onion jam The Jeremy Corbyn - The Labour Party's flagship crumpet. For vegeterian leftists. Crispy eggplant on cold salsa and pink tehini. The Duchess Meghan Markle - The say that when she married Prince Harry they had Nutella crumpets instead of a wedding cake Bananas tempura'd in salty chococlate crunch, whipped cream and nutella. The John Cleese - The song 'always look on the bright side of life' was written about Cleese's favourite cheesecake crumpet Cream cheese with hot fruit salad and balsamic vinegar Elizabeth the 2nd - Th classic crumpet. Just like the queen has on saturday morning. Butter, honey, and jam. Corbyn the second most expensive thing on the menu (lol)

Eh, it's a bit of a weird translation since the word in hebrew is actually 'crunch' in English. I'd assume it's some sort of 'creamy' sweet potato (so mash) with crunchy bits in it, like teeny tiny fried sweet potatoes/skins maybe?

We had an NI specific poll https://twitter.com/ElectionMapsUK/status/1168489976805429248?s=19 Puts alliance 13% ahead of the DUP in Belfast South (unsurprising as them holding this relies on heavy vote splitting between the non-DUP vote share) but also sees them run second to the DUP in Belfast East with a gap of only 2% (they won this seat once before) and lagging only 1% behind them in South Antrim, where they barely scrapped 8% at the last election but seem to be profiting from the wholesale collapse of the UUP. Might be trick for SF to hold Foyle on those numbers also

If Johnson wants an election does he need an act of parliament due to the FTPA? If so it it amendable? As in add that we have to extend art 50 and revocation of the progroative power to move the date?
