On the Corbyn not clarifying whether we would still leave the EU under him in the event of 'a bad deal'. It is surely that he, nor any other leader, could never admit that this was remotely their position as in the event of their win, then Europe would refuse to budge on anything, charge a zillion dollars and then point to the demonstration of British public opinion that it was best to stay in if the deal was bad. Making the whole thing a waste of everyone's time. Unless of course it is assumed by everyone involved in the negotiations that anything said in an election campaign stays in an election campaign. Of course I don't think at this point anyone taking that position would win anyway so... yeah.

jabby posted:The Guardian did pick up on one thing though - Phillip let slip that May first mentioned becoming PM when she joined the cabinet. Presumably that is pretty much the endgame of any senior politician though? Its not exactly some house of cards thing or something. I didn't watch it, was it Matt Baker, I seem to remember him ambushing Cameron a bit once before, asking how he slept at night. No such shenanigans?

Shame, although I suppose it was too much to expect countryfile to come through and save us all. He probably hunts foxes.

Was down the pub the other day in my rural, tory safe seat, leave voting community and struck up conversation with a family friend of some years, in fact I attended his 70th a few years back, free bar, donations to the air ambulance as, well, there's charity and there's charity where you end up with your on call emergency helicopter as you approach old age. Anyway he didn't have much of a view on fox hunting, badgers was the issue. He reckoned he'd never seen a badger until his fifties and now he saw one a week squashed by the road side. I agreed it was high time we instigated some sort of badger road safety awareness campaign and would speak with the parish council next meeting.

Acaila posted:For what it's worth, I do love UKMT's total intolerance for fascist racist cunts. I hate the "agree to disagree, everyone's entitled to their opinion" pish that sees such arseholes getting put up with, plus it helps any newbs know who to avoid. Its not agreeing to disagree or whatever, its just tedious to see a 'gently caress off nazi' post every few posts. We get it. Buy them a custom title, ignore them or whatever. I don't want to put on ignore those posters saying gently caress off as, outside of those posts, I value their posts. Or maybe I don't and want to argue with them. But there isn't much arguing with a 'gently caress off nazi oval office'. Yep OK. I will bill you for a replacement scroll wheel.

Send a few extra bitcoins to these guys that have caused the problem and ask if they will sort it all out for us? It would make a good buddy cop movie, russian hacker teenager and NHS IT procurement manager getting into japes and such like.

Just let people log in to the NHS with their Facebooks, and like I dunno, Instagram their cellphone pictures of their X-rays or selfies of their weird genital rashes. Facebook didn't exist a few years ago and look at it now, all this would be sorted out in no time. 99 problems and an overabundance of IT knowledge ain't one of them.

Hi everybody. My dad, a retired scot ex-submariner with pictures of I dunno HMS vanguard on his study wall announced to me today he is voting labour (in an english seat) and has developed time for Corbyn. His wife, my mother, a recently retired NHS employee (band 6 or something) who normally refers to how 'we vote' refuses to vote labour with a scoff. She is going Lib Dem. Old people man. I'll try and put this on a graph for you but I can't find my Office 2003 CD. Also my phone doesn't have a cd rom.

But that is probably most people's view of politicians as a starting point. We are in a post Britain's got talent era, just being there and rolling around in the poo poo is enough to make it worthwhile for everyone there.

Are there any meaningful statistics on the effect of televised debates by 'X Y z A b(not b) C' a week out from a surprise election? I think we are on thin ice here, prediction wise.

Monopoly chat: My family set had wooden houses and hotels, the player pieces, boot, dog, etc were the same wooden blocks with a 2d paper token wedged in it. My parents always told me the reason everyone else had metal playing pieces was because our set came from my grandparents who had donated their monopoly pieces to be melted down into spitfires to win the war. It is only now I am suddenly questioning this... can anyone confirm this was a policy at the time and my monopoly set is not a whole 'nother lie my parents have perpetrated upon me?

Owlkill posted:I just had a quick google of "WW2 monopoly set" and it looks like there might have been versions manufactured with wood and paper pieces in the war rather than metal, so maybe it was one of those and the story got somehow twisted to your grandparents donating the metal pieces directly rather than the manufacturer stopping using metal during wartime? This suddenly rings a bell I think you are right. I am sorry to you for googling for me, other posters for doing the legwork to estimate how many spitfires my grandparent's board games could have helped build and indeed my parents who probably never told me that and I reimagined the story in a way that sounded cooler. Much like how I told all my school mates my dad was the same as james bond because, under intensive needling, he estimated that he was roughly equivalent to a commander in the royal navy in his position as a civilian scientist in the admiralty.
