Chucat posted:Also this Raab speech is uhhhh, it's something. Bad things happening would make it a bad deal, which it can't be, because it's no deal We have been very clear that no deal is better than a bad deal In no deal, no bad things will happen. Only no things. That's why it's called no deal.

BBC news is on in our lunch room today, and I've found the "they're all the same" of the office. Coupled with "it's hard to disagree that the Tories just come across as more professional politicians" Staked my (red) flag clearly in pointing out the bungling of Brexit alone.

But in 2018 when they leak everyone's details with the conference app and are reduced to wandering around shouting 'Brexit means Brexit'?

Also, tie & suit = "Presentable", not like that scruffy Corbyn. I mean, the suits may be made out of human skin, and the ties dyed with blood, but still, scruffy Marxist Grandad bribing the uncouth youths. --- [e]: Wow, this Hammond speech is garbage. quote:I have set out my argument for the renewal of our economic creed to secure for Britain the benefit of the market economy for the years to come, to ensure it can respond to the concerns and meet the aspirations of the next generation.

There is nothing wrong with your political system. Do not attempt to adjust the parties. We are controlling immigration. If we wish to make you poorer, we will bring down your benefits. If we wish to make you richer, you must already be a landlord. We will control the narrative. We will control the media. We can roll the economy, make it flutter. We can change the focus groups to a soft blair or sharpen them to crystal thatcherism. For the next hour, sit quietly and we will control all that you see and hear. We repeat: there is nothing wrong with your political system. You are about to participate in a great adventure. You are about to experience the awe and mystery which reaches from the absent mind to – The Hammond Limits.

No they'll probably just name Corbyn as one of the new suspects. Rustybear posted:Anyone paying attention is already prepping; not hording ammo and tins because that’s pointless theatrical poo poo with no actual functional purpose. I'm prepping to move to Canada if that counts. chird posted:This new thread seems like an ideal time to attempt to become re-acquainted with what's going on in the motherland. When I left the UK, Gordon Brown was still prime minister. Jessops still exists - they got bought out or rescued or whatever. HMV still going too I think (but struggling). feedmegin posted:Also, I am making lasagne rn. Not made out of horse (probably). I made veggie lasagne at the weekend, not sure I've ever actually done it before. Sort of eyeballed the quantities and made up the specific recipe from checking a few different ones for reference... and it was loving amazing. Still got one frozen for later too. White sauce with cheddar in, with just a touch of dried ancho chilli to give it a subtle smokiness, AND torn fresh mozzarella on the white sauce layers - freaking awesome. Don't care if it's strictly "traditional" or not. Did have to run to the shops to get fresh egg lasagna sheets after our dried stuff all stuck together in the pan but it was a fairly minor disaster as they go.

Raab just said "if the EU want a deal they need to get serious" and I'm screaming at my TV that when one party has all the leverage in a negotiation they don't need to make the big compromises. Bring this government down by any means necessary. "In 1938 Nazi Germany was invaded....errrr invaded Czechoslovakia" is some zinger from Dominic Raab. forkboy84 fucked around with this message at 13:17 on Oct 1, 2018 |

Liz Truss floundering on World at One. "What's the Tory solution to all these problems in society?" "Invest in infrastructure, and invest in skills for the future." So what Labour says. Glad we could clear that up. I have noticed that Labour's media team are killing it recently. Replies to most Tory conference speeches are coming out on twitter practically as soon as they're finished speaking.

I think being in coalition with the libdems (ie having a negotiating partner tripping over themselves to offer compromises before even getting to the table) broke their ability to comprehend what real negotions are actually like.

Guavanaut posted:It never fails to amaze me that young Tories (or really any Tories younger than the 110 year old lich kings they keep in their private members' clubs) think that the RoI rejoining the UK is a solution to the border or to Brexit or something that would ever happen. SF would take their seats, their arms, and their gifted rubber ducks before that happened. This is less about solving Brexit and more about restoring the British Empire, much like, uh, Brexit
