:geno: Yes, it's like a lava lamp.

So David Cameron wrote a book I guess, he was doing an interview on Canadian radio, and when asked what his proudest achievement as PM was he says Austerity basically.

Him pushing the Orban button isn’t that out there when his only other option is breaking the law, and afaik the only way he could be held account for this is through parliamentary mechanisms of a vonc.

As ever though, there's a reason the EU council agrees on stuff and it's because they can all gently caress each other up if any of them start playing silly buggers.

So whether Orban wants to put his position in the EU at risk to please Boris if the rest of the council thinks otherwise, is another question.

What is going wrong with that one (face is longer than it should be)
Do we really think Bohnson is gonna manage to finagle us into brexit at the end of the month, though? Given his success in votes so far and the sheer power of his Clever Cummings Confabulations I don't think he's going to be able to outfox a united parliament, even if it comes down to the wire

Trying to suppress my natural pessimism to get a better understanding of what's actually going on

Kind of up in the air tbh, I'm sure he's gonna try but parliament seems quite set on loving him up and we might see a caretaker government.

Though we really want him to be have to do it himself, because that's gonna gently caress up his brexit party support.

I'm on holiday with my friends, we've been looking forward to it all year and all bar one of us are sick as hell.
My gf has recovered from tonsilitus but has gone temporarily deaf as a result from goopy ear, a worth it but unwise shagging means I've now got the tonsil part, our friend has some kind of serious stomach bug and had to get a doctors finger inna bum.
Our remaining friend appears healthy but God knows what we're gonna do once inevitably the throat infection and stomach bug team up to destroy us all.

According to googling we should start to get better around... the time we leave and my gfs hearing should recover sometime around... January????

Yeah absolutely. If he doesn't, though, and parliament has to step in to get it done, I reckon that won't dent his Brexiteer support since he can easily blame it on parliament/traitors/etc. Although maybe his inability to get anything done at all might start to wear thin and make him look weak regardless (just not as weak)

If all goes terribly this month, then I am all set to inhale the tory front bench and absorb their 'power' to allow the extension and GE to go ahead. I am primed and ready and have trained for this by eating nothing but gammon this last seven months.

Parliamentary Labour might owe its existence to Balfour's bad judgement because they were carried into office alongside the Liberals, going from a two MPs to 29.

Well, at least we'll be able to sell landmines, razor wire, and other such delightful devices to the rest of Ireland, instead of having to go allll~ the way to that pesky Middle East. New market opportunities are what Brexit is all about! :downsgun:

He is not unpopular with the people that matter. Insofar as to say, the media hate him and olds hate him and those are the people most likely to answer polls and talk about who is unpopular.

As soon as fair reporting kicks in again, people understand what he and Labour are offering and things change.
