As President Trump takes office and Brexit starts to mean Brexit, there's only one piece of journalism powerful enough to summarize current events: Welcome indeed, to Tiny Train World. https://twitter.com/rpy/status/824557660653572096 What else is in the news? The British Red Cross described the situation in England's NHS hospitals as a "humanitarian crisis". The RCN describes conditions in the NHS as the worst they have ever experienced. The Northern Irish Assembly falls apart over heated horse solaria. Martin McGuinness resigns due to ill health. Tristram Hunt resigns as Stoke MP to become a museum director, triggering a by-election. Bristol police tase their own race relations official after mistaking him for another black man. Dud egg Paul Nuttall backs Donald Trump's position on torture as all newspapers except the Express (even the Mail) condemn him for cozying up to EDL thugs. Labour are going to back Article 50 subject to some good amendments but also maybe even without them. Except some of them aren't. ANAL seizes property in Belgravia back from the Grosvenor Estate, opens it up as a homeless shelter, and fights off thugs wearing fascist-linked masks. Brexit countdown: 58 days. Brexit plans released: 70 words w/o header. Brexit means: Hardest Fastest Reddest Whitest Bluest Brexit. Library briefing of the Bill February Air Groundhog Day UKMT January 2017 Thread UKMT December 2016 Thread UKMT November 2016 Thread UKMT October 2016 UKMT September 2016 Canned Food Month Brexit Thread Oatmeal Monday Scotpol Thread International Stand Up to Bullying Day EDL/Fash Thread Fat Tuesday Europol Thread Get a Different Name Day Paedogeddon/Press Corruption Thread Newcomen's Birthday Trainchat Thread LGBT History Month Worldwide QUILTBAG Thread Open That Bottle Night Political Cartoons Thread Safer Internet Day #ukgoons on synIRC (thanks crispix).

It's not a person's fault if they are poor; And most famously, the day of commercially sanctioned gestures of love:  forkboy84 posted:Is there an award for being the biggest shithead in parliament? Is there a reason Philip Davies acts like he does? Hates gays, seems to be totally OK with domestic violence, is obviously a complete xenophobe, is a shill of the gambling industry, is a piece of poo poo to the disabled, and yet he's been elected 3 times. With a bigger share of the vote each time.

Fans posted:I'd want them too, but I imagine it'd be political suicide to oppose it. There's a reason Cameron didn't go "Hah no psyke" after he lost the referendum. The government did say "hah no psyche" when it came to Boaty McBoatface though.

Labour's current path is electoral suicide I can't imagine opposing brexit - the platform on which every Labour MP was elected - would actually make matters worse. The fact is that Corbyn is pro brexit and always has been. To his credit, he's finally found an issue on which he is prepared to be decisive.

The Tories can force it through regardless, the aim is to get them to crumble and accept some of the amendments, which seem easy enough to swing some rebellion or concessions. Remember that a fair number of Tories probably aren't in favour of a hard girthy brexit either.

That's not going to happen. There will be no concessions or meaningful amendments. Why on earth would the Tories 'crumble' in the face of zero opposition?

Baron Corbyn posted:But fore means "in the front of"? Well in Japanese writing, your forename is written underneath the surname, it's all culturally relative. Youd give your forename first if you met someone though, QED.
