*Choo choo, all aboard the U-turn express!*UK train operators reverse decision to quit Interrail posted:Industry reaches agreement with Eurail after loud protests at Wednesday’s disclosure --- Unrelated and also expected, No 10 refuses to rule out election shortly after 31 October Brexit - Downing St could delay election until days after Brexit if Boris Johnson loses confidence vote. Hardly news, it's always been a possibility that the Tories allow a no deal to happen, call an election immediately after and hope that they either get a majority to pass through their insane disaster capitalist plans, or leave the big steaming brexshit in Labours hands to sort out while they tut on the sidelines.

OwlFancier posted:Dunsany was on some very good drugs. Dunsany appears as a playable character in the series that would become the Shadow Hearts games, and I did a bit of research into him for a possible LP of the game - all of which ended up in The Dark Id's LP of it. He's one of those interesting people where their own works are mostly forgotten, but influenced a ton of more famous people. He also got shot in the head during the Easter Rising, but survived; A bullet had ricochetted into his skull, and he required surgery to remove it. Unfortunately for him, while starting the surgery, the anaesthetic mask they were using was pressing down too hard on his face kept him conscious - and they only gave him more ether when he told them that he could hear every word they were saying. Post Surgery posted:A fair division was afterwards made, by which the doctors kept a piece of my skull, and I kept the bullet, which I have in a show case still.

I go away for a few days and come back to find the Libdems as expected. Not suprising it's written, or at least headed by a forty-something white dude. Jose posted:its good that jo swinson has publicly announced she intends to gently caress over anyone who might consider voting lib dem again because of brexit before an election rather than just loving them over after The libdem existance is a continual cycle of "But we elected a liar, a homophobe, the man who sold off Royal Mail, and a Tory woman, and said we'd stop No Deal Brexit - unless faced with a Corbyn government with him literally offering everything we've been asking for in the press - how do we keep losing voters? Maybe we need to be more radically centrist!"

Josef bugman posted:Wow, that's certainly a thing. Did anyone seriously think that the mask would come off that loving fast and hard? It's always been a paper-thin mask. When the only thing you actually believe is "I loving hate Corbyn and what he represents", they will quite happily pivot to whatever position allows that to continue. Even if they've set themselves up as an Ultra #FBPE. The fact that the two strands of "Secret Nandos Leaver Corbyn (who hates Jews)", and "Stop No Deal at any cost" have now collided, and Corbyn now represents the best way to prevent No Deal, means they have to show their true colours

abelwingnut posted:wait, what the hell has gone on this week? why are you all hopeful of corbyn becoming pm? and i see some vonc talk? Short version: https://twitter.com/jeremycorbyn/status/1161751909788782594 Corbyn sent out a letter saying that he needs support to VONC the government. After the VONC, he will seek the confidence of the house, extend the Brexit deadline to prevent crashing out on No Deal, and immediately call a general election. Basically, poo poo or get off the pot. This puts the Libdems in the position of A) Support Corbyn and potentially allow a dreaded socialist into government, but potentially prevent a No Deal, or B) Don't support him, and enable a No Deal to happen by default, and be shredded by their voter base. And it's making GBS threads them up "Hello, my name is Mr. Snrub".

Guavanaut posted:Why not also call Eris a planet and resolve the debate that way? More inclusivity for planet status. Eris is actually the reason for the whole reopening of "What is a planet?" debate. Just her throwing a big golden apple with the words, "Te Planḗtēs", and then something something Trojan war. Probably. Maugrim posted:Deprecate the term planet and come up with more robustly defined nomenclature for use when precision is required. The original 9 get to stay planets and that's it. That's actually part of the problem. Actually defining a planet as opposed to a moon, asteroid or dwarf-planet. Also, there's far more than the "original 9"; go back far enough, and the sun and moon are planets. You have the asteroids, Ceres, Vesta, Juno, etc. There's not currently a clear-cut definition that satisfies everyone. Pesky Splinter fucked around with this message at 09:13 on Aug 27, 2019 |

Niric posted:I know there's much, much more interesting and important things going on right now, but Jess Phillips's schtick is just so loving irritating. Literally "I am a sensible adult and this issue can only be sorted by me, the sensible adult, talking like a sensible adult." It's smug and vacuous to the point of self-parody, and what's most annoying is that a lot of otherwise clever people absolutely lap it up as being the mightiest political discourse It's the sort of vacuous poo poo that the media classes lap up so they can point and say, "Oh for it to be 2012 when the sensible people were in charge and we didn't have to pretend to know about austerity." Her authentocracy poo poo irritates me more, "Oh bab, I'm working class I am, I know what it's like working in t'politics mine with me ma an' pa. Can't trust that Jerm'y Corbyn, mind." *doffs cap to Reece-Mogg* xtothez posted:The maximum chaos outcome would the government losing an initial vote due to Tory abstentions, Corybn not getting enough votes for an interim government, then a couple of spineless tories flip and vote confidence in Boris again before the 2 weeks are up. I'm fully expecting to see this. Given how things have been going, and we're in the worst timeline, I can see this going down.

Is there any sort of legislation that could be passed to stop this? Speaking from sheer ignorance there's always a chance of putting forward a VONC. Not entirely convinced that would pass, and I'm not sure how that works in regards to prorogation if it does. ATM, Bercow's only put out a general statement, no idea if there's anything actually legislative to halt this, I'd imagine he's looked into it though.
