I blame the yellow tories.

They were before the last election too, and that one lead to the biggest swing to Labour in half a century

The bit where Cumberbatch goes to his mind palace and projects designer brand logos out of his skull. When I saw that, I thought it had been altered to be as cringe-inducing as possible, but no, that was the original show.

They would already have done this if it was gonna happen. The lib dems have claimed to be the remainiest party ever for a long time, but the fact that they are liars and tories, plus the fact that they won't win an election and can therefore promise the moon on a stick works against them

e: carrots are long and thin, like what the gently caress have you people ever actually seen one

Depends on the variety. You might as well argue with people's perception that carrots are orange.

Given that Carrot literally blocks out the sun with his hugeness, and is described as a "Scary uniform" alongside his troll colleague, you can probably assume that he's not named after some tiny variety of carrot.

Welp, I did not expect that.

Now to watch how the conservative press and supporters receive the news. Death threats to the judges directly on the front page of the Mail and Express?

Probably just the usual "enemy of the people" veiled death threats in the papers, with the outright calls to institute a genocidal totalitarian dictatorship staying in Internet comment sections.

Slight less than that actually (forgot to take into account the exchange rate, more like 70k pounds), but yes. And I keep getting poo poo from my parents for not having more and not having bought a house by now. As if I want to tie my self down to any country, let alone one that might be completely underwater in the coming decades.

Wait, if you have £70,000, why haven't you bought a house? Have you just got that money stuck in your bank account?

And no country is going to be "completely underwater" unless you're living on a Pacific island or something. The literal water rising is one of the smallest problems climate change presents humanity.

There isn't a way to invest without potentially losing all your money. It's all gambling.

There are safer bets, like buying a house (also frees you from just throwing money in a parasite's pockets every month), but even stuff like, "I just keep it in my bank account" is you gambling that the money continues to be worth poo poo.
