Regarde Aduck posted:End all animal testing and replace with clones of Brexit voters. One big advantage of testing with smaller animals is that they breed fast, don't take up much space and are relatively cheap once your breeding line is established. Humans take too long to reach maturity (and human testing is anyway a massive, massive pain in the arse thanks to people generally being unwilling to live at the laboratory and having to be treated with dignity, rights etc.).

Someone earlier in the thread suggested that May had forgotten she'd called an election, I'm starting to think she's forgotten she's Prime Minister.

I've been in a hut in the mountains the last few days happily away from the internet and news. I see this thread has had a million posts since then, did I miss anything much? I already saw that some people were murdered in London and that the murderers were shot.

Fans posted:No they're predicting 50% which if anything might be a bit low, people keep repeating this 80% thing but it's just people talking poo poo. I don't think that this young person is going to be able to vote, my postal ballot hasn't reached me yet and even if it turns up tomorrow I think it might be too late. My constituency has a huge SNP majority with Labour in distant second (Tories got 7% in 2015 lol), so I guess it won't matter.

Zalakwe posted:I am shocked you do not consider this a tasty breakfast. Is like the Nordic countries all had a competition to produce the most disgusting "delicacy". Iceland and Sweden put in strong showings with rotten shark and rotten herring, but Norway decided to prove you can make anything terrible if you try hard enough by combining caramel and cheese into something far worse than mere gone off fish. Finland's attempt was to make licorice one of their major food groups, but for some reason they kept it long after the bet was over.

Shame to see Abbott go in some ways - by all accounts she's a good local MP and backbencher, not everyone is cut out for the spotlight. She's also a socialist and black woman and parliament could use more of both. I won't miss her interviews too much but I hope her health recovers.

I dunno how you all have so many Tory friends. Just scrolling through and my Facebook is a wall of Labour with the occasional hopeful Green growing in the cracks. Maybe the Tories are all shy. I have one friend who professes to be a Tory and I think owns a poster of Thatcher but he's like a post-post-ironic habitually contrary oval office and I doubt if he'll even bother voting.

Barbe Rouge posted:There was an article a while ago about a party meeting in which various PLP members took turns making GBS threads on him and I'll never forget a quote about their goal being "breaking him as a man". If he could survive that, I think some idiots on the TV aren't a big deal. The man survived as a socialist Labour MP under Blair. Plus his constituency stuff is clearly really important to him, and they've elected him nine consecutive times. That's got to be a big boost - if he ever starts getting down about the bad press he can just go outside in his constituency and know that more than half the people he meets in the street personally voted for him.

Orange Marches are fine to about the same extent EDL rallies are fine. Except that only about 12 people show up for the EDL before they get chased into a pub by antifa and they don't play loud music at 8am on a Saturday.

The DUP must know as well as the Tories how tenuous their position would be. Surely it's in their interests not to play too hard to begin with; they aren't going to get a better chance for power any time soon and if it's just a supply and demand deal they'll have leverage over May for as long as the Parliament lasts.

Zephro posted:Seems questionable when the anti-Brexit young just voted for you in droves and the EU are dropping hints about forgetting about Brexit altogether. I don't think that since the referendum Corbyn has ever strayed from "Britain voted to leave the EU, Labour recognises that decision and will act to carry it out". I don't see why he would change now - firstly because he probably actually believes in that statement on principle, and secondly because it'd be the biggest possible stick to hand the Tories at a time when they're flailing about for anything they can grasp.

OwlFancier posted:Labour's not made a secret of their pro brexit stance so I think people voting for them who think they aren't going to do brexit are a bit silly. I agree but it's a surprisingly pervasive idea. A number of people I talk to think that if Labour get in, despite their consistent stance to the contrary, they're going to turn around with a secret plan and undo Article 50 and we can all go back to being a happy and satisfied part of the EU (lol). I can only assume that it's because they think Labour is good and reversing Brexit would be good, therefore it follows that Labour would reverse Brexit.

Lt. Danger posted:I think the hope is to play out the Article 50 process, then refer the final deal to the public in referendum and hope that after 2 years the public has realised Brexit is a bad idea/the root causes for the Brexit vote like austerity will have been addressed enough for people to choose Remain. Ride the Chinese fingertrap tiger, etc. It's a possibility I guess. Brexit is less important to me than fixing the problems caused in the first place. I think leaving the EU is a mistake: I voted against it, I have dual European nationality and I've lived and worked in Europe. Britain certainly could be successful outside of it, maybe even do better freed from some of the EU's worse aspects. But it relies on having a good government in power both during and after the exit process. If it's the Tories or a minority government of any stripe then it's going to be exactly the disaster we all fear. If we have a solidly left-wing Labour party with a decent majority and five years in power ahead of them, then maybe we don't even need to cancel Brexit. Maybe that's an overly optimistic and hopeful assessment, but I'd like to think that a Lexit could still work.

We haven't gotten to the part where children are bottled over the head or disruptions start pissing people who aren't used to them. So far most of the focus has been on the DUP specifically and using them as a club to hit the Tories over the head with, but I don't think it's going to last. I can hardly wait for the first thoughtful editorials in English newspapers on why the Irish are a race of violent, drunken religious nuts without even the good grace to be properly grateful to Britannia for all she's done for them. Are they even really White, I wonder?
