"a proportionate means of achieving a legitimate aim" is such a lovely way of putting "it'll gently caress you over but we don't care", I'm going to have to steal it for my own day-to-day usage

Detailed consideration has been given to the various components of Full Goon Monster Munch Communism: (a) as to eating the rich, we consider that their flesh will be tasty and nourishing, and any indirect adverse effect on the leadership of the Tories is a proportionate means of achieving a legitimate aim.

Luckily there is no racism in the UK, only common-sense reasonable concern about immigration's effect on hard working families and the purity of glorious british culture and the existence of our people and a future for white children, so talk of the "n-word" should have no ambiguity.

"young voters could hold key" in the EU referendum vote, according to the Guardian.

So that'll be a victory for Leave, then.

Well, "Better Together" had to hastily rename itself to "No Thanks" a few months before the election, so I guess they didn't think it was working as well as they'd like.

The day thatcher died is possibly the coolest day ever to be born on, please make sure your daughter becomes the raging lefty greatest ever prime minister to complete the symbolism. No pressure.

Though be sure to be on the lookout for signs of demonic possession, whatever Thatcher was had to go somewhere

Politics is hard, and being the head guy is even harder. One thing I have been thiking is that if Cameron is setting down in 2020, does that mean he's fighting in the general election, or setting down BEFORE it? Stepping down at the start of 2020 only gives the new leader a few months to be chosen and to run an election campaign, which seems like an oddly short amount of time.

It does mean the Tories can just run the "mess the last government got us into" on themselves this time, I'm sure nobody pays enough attention to politics to catch on to it

way to miss the point idiots. Nobody calling for nationalisation thinks it's a way to make British steel "the best" or internationally competitive as a business, it's a way to keep the skills and infrastructure alive in this country.

the primary role of all policy should be to make Britain win all the international pissing contests going, we are destined to be the greatest country in the world ever and anything short of that is a failure. People in the country actually being able to feed themselves comes about sixth or seventh on the priority list.

People buy it, therefore it is Good. Good in terms of taste, health, and moral correctness. If it wasn't Good, they would just have their personal chef whip up something different, and the folks at McDonalds would be deprived of their plentiful money-votes. The free market works.

I think it's a facetious comment on how whenever a poor/minority 18 year old gets killed in a violent altercation they're a full grown thug capable of flipping police cars and eating entire council estates.

though being poor they probably age at about twice the rate so if you think about it they're really 36 in poor-years
