For those outside London who are fortunate enough not to be familiar with him.

Nick Ferrari is a horrible, reactionary, rightwing rear end in a top hat. He is a columnist for the Daily Express and has exactly the terrible views you would expect of someone like that.

I think this is pretty demonstrative of why Corbyns "strategic ambiguity" was absolutely necessary.

The moment he takes a strong position on it the media narrative would immediately switch to being about Corbyn rather than about Brexit. I can practically see the thoughtful Guardian opeds (Did Corbyn fatally undermine Brexit?) and fair-and-balanced Sun headlines (TRAITOR CORBYN STEALS BREXIT). It would be "Broon spent all the poonds" all over again.

Brexit has to be undeniable shitshow in its own right for there to be any chance of turning it around. I genuinely dont think the Tories would be imploding like this if Labour were vocally anti-Brexit cos theyd have someone to blame besides each other.

This is a good post and I agree completely. It seems to me that Labour's Brexit strategy has been just right for them

I was at work all day and quit checking the app when there were over 100 unread posts so to see the meltdown happen in sort of real time was fun. Plus I got repeatedly berated by someone at *A BERKSHIRE COUNCIL* for their shoddy network topology and didn't really like my "I'm literally here to fix this printer, if your network's slow, talk to IT" answer that I gave her the half dozen times she moaned at me. Course, I could have said they shouldn't have outsourced their IT for "efficiency savings" but alas, I only use that answer when I'm in a DWP building

We genocided 3/4 of the globe to have access to spices and we still as a nation eat globs of fat stuck to bland fish. We have Kebab shops on every corner, Chinese food both Americanised and authentic, beautiful Indian food and if you live in a city you have access to food from everywhere else on the planet but you insist on this flavourless nonsense?

Uh, what?

"Look them up" is extremely good advice if you ever see a tory doing anything you agree with, because you do that and then you find out they voted consistently for the worst things their entire career and whatever affectations of basic human decency they may adopt are clearly lies.

E: Oh that says "LOCK" not look.

Locking her up is the obvious conclusion you reach if you look her up.

So I went to Subway for my dinner earlier because my wife is out this evening and gently caress it.

Paid with a £20 note and the girl on the till was looking at it funny, I could see as she was holding it up, the light shining through it and could see some writing but not what it said. I said "Oh is there some writing on it?", she said, "Yeah, it says Hitler", "... what? Really?".

Yup.

Hitler written across the queen's forehead in purple pen, and #WhiteGenocide above that.

I was like "Wow, that's extremely not cool". Luckily it was just me and the two girls working there at the time or I might have got some funny looks but they were pretty cool about it and we had a bit of a laugh about how crazy it was.



Funnily, defacing currency to spread a political message actually has quite a long and proud tradition. Shame about that instance of it though.

It's quite easy to make indian food, chinese, and even kebabs with a completely normal oven + hob without any extra gear beyond a couple of pans. Going out for a chippy is totally understandable since most people don't have the deep fat friers required to poach fish inside batter.

The oceans are dying so I try not to eat fish too often, but once a fortnight is forgivable and justifiable by a nice fish and chips being nice.

Writing stuff other than numbers when you're counting them is kind of rare yes.

She brought up no deal to scare the remainers and no brexit to scare the leavers, not understanding that talk of no deal will encourage the leavers to rebel and talk of no brexit will do the same for remainers
