going beyond 50 mins or so makes it harder to fit into a commute

luckily this will get less true over time as all the jobs move to london and all the affordable houses move to three villages in the Highlands

we may or may not all be hosed but at least we're hosed in a new and interesting way every day rather than the constant unchanging loving we were getting with theresa may. this is at least exciting, I tell myself

so that i have this straight: they're currently voting on whether to have the vote on the thing that will make boris give us a vote to decide whether we will have a vote on brexit? do i have this approximately correct here

if brexit fails then the eu superstate will coalesce and become a gigantic hivemind botnet that will become the artificial intelligence that will retroactively punish all who tried to stop it. dominic has done a good thing by ruining brexit's chances, his computer brain copy is going to get a nice virtual gently caress mansion

Bear in mind this is mostly from polls before Johnson spent a week revealing how comically incompetent he actually is as Prime Minister.

I remember that brief period where people hadn't realised what a poo poo Theresa May was and she was hailed as the most popular prime minister in decades or whatever

would be nice if the upcoming election turns out the same way hers did. would say i hope for it, depending on what the current thread consensus is on hope being a lie or not currently. it seems to swing back and forth with the tides

it was boris' masterplan to stop parliament passing any no-deal preventing legislation by removing as much time between now and brexit as possible. It worked perfectly

of course it would work, specific deadlines in the very near future are a well known famous tactic for discouraging people from getting serious about working towards their goals

It's missing that very, very, big step of David Cameron, high off the scent of his own farts from the result of the Scottish referendum, started the Brexit ball rolling, entirely independent of Corbyn's ascent to the Labour leadership, in an attempt to resolve a longstanding Tory party issue.

This is a very fun thing to think about, given the scottish indyref a) ended up much closer than the polling indicated at the start and b) absolutely did not kill the support for independence and its presence as an issue in Scottish politics, and mainly strengthened it

There could be a number of reasons for this, e.g. the inherent appeal of change vs. the boring politicians you love to hate telling you everything is fine, actually, or the abysmal quality of the No campaign due to nobody believing they actually had to take it seriously until the last minute, etc etc, but I'm really not sure anyone learned from any of them come the brexit vote

I have just realised that they wrote 3-way lead. I assume the writer believes that anyone standing on a podium is level in terms of placement with that kind of spin.

From a brief skim of the article, the poll has a +/- 5.7% margin of error, so 20/20/19 is statistically a three-way tie as far as the poll can tell.
