The worst crime, a slightly untidy tax return.

Until next week when footage of Corbyn making tea shows he puts the milk in first 😱

why do you keep arguing with him does nobody learn their lesson

It's been said we keep voting in Tories because the British public loves misery and pain, and I think the amount of time people spend arguing pointless minutiae with Pissflaps shows they maybe have a point.

I mean, why shouldn't they do this? The press is apparently willing to let poo poo like this and the �350m bus slide and to continue giving these people airtime, and the public is willing to let it slide and to continue voting for them. There's really no incentive for them to maintain any pretence of not being completely divorced from reality.

On a separate note, I got an email from my lettings agent today; they want me to come sign the contract for next year. Sounds fair enough except my current lease doesn't end until July :stare:

I've never had this happen before - is there anything other than common decency (lol) keeping agents from requiring you to sign for the next year arbitrarily far in advance? Presumably if I say I don't want to sign anything until nearer the date we'll spend the next four months having random people shown round our flat and possibly having to move out.

That sounds rather odd, I wouldn't have thought you'd need to renew your lease until your notice period comes up. IIRC the landlord only has the right to do viewings in the last month before the end of your contract, and has to provide 24 hours notice - you can refuse permission when you receive that notice if it's not convenient.

I hadn't heard that there was a limit for when they could do viewings, I'll look into that. Good to know if true, cheers!

It's a shame that nobody will see this and nothing matters.

People will see it, acknowledge it as an astonishing lie, and then everybody will move on and he'll continue to be quoted and talked to like a thinking human, as if the noises coming out of his mouth have any more meaning than the ones coming out of his bum.

The only silver lining is when a Brexit disaster happens the Tories will own it completely with no 'our hands were tied' nonsense.

Reminder that we just the other day had a Tory denying a tweet he sent while it was blown up five feet wide right next to him. They'll claim absolutely anything they want and the press will go "huh that's weird" and move on.

not seen many british kiwi fruits or pineapples either

This is due to BARMY BRUSSELS legislation that puts strict limits on the amount of sunlight we're allowed. Theresa May is going to negotiate us a much better climate post-Brexit.

Just ban people

Ban 4chan at least

The attack may have been flagged by a post on the 4chan forum, which contained references to its exact location. It also contained a photo, taken from the internet, of two guns.

It isn't known that the post was anything to do with the attacker, and it made no explicit reference to the date or nature of the incident. But many internet users are pointing out the chilling coincidence of the two events.

The reference to the location was posted through a strange code. Alongside the picture, the user posted a series of dashes and dots � when translated into Morse code, they pointed to a URL, and at that page was the exact co-ordinates for the attack.

Apparently warnings of terrorist incidents are being given in ARG-style code puzzles now.

When I think 'serious career choice', I think 'getting paid in ham sandwiches'.

Honestly there's been a lot of really poor decision making going on here but Labour have actually managed to get themselves into a good spot on Brexit. No one can criticise them for opposing the will of the British people but by setting conditions which mean little changes for the worse or being able to state for the next 2 years that they won't support the particulars of Brexit as it comes out they'll win a lot of support pretty much no matter what happens.

Except that any deal, no matter how terrible, is going to be better than falling back on WTO rules. So if Labour refuses to back it they'll instead be painted as 'throwing away two years of British deal�making' and 'guaranteeing us a poorer future'. We'll get exactly the Brexit deal the EU deigns to give us, and we'll be happy to have it too.

let's not forget that at the same time we have to negotiate trade deals with every other country on earth at the same time as handling EU negotiations.

My understanding was that until Brexit actually happens (i.e. in two years' time) we are still legally prevented from negotiating our own trade deals?

The odd dichotomy is that while I would probably appreciate it more at the moment if Corbyn was more aggressive I would probably want him to win less if he was.

I dunno, Corbyn owns bones whenever he actually spits fire in a speech. That version of Corbyn is the one we need all the time.
