Also Lindsay Hoyle is not nearly as female as I expected

Fleetwood Mac did a lot to dispel nominal gender norms back in the day. Show people a picture - one of these people is called Lindsey, the other is called Stevie. You can go your own way.

The original concept of shitposting would be old enough to vote if the voting age had been lowered, but it would spoil its ballot paper by writing "its cold outside and i didnt bring my nice wool mittens" somewhere in the bottom corner.

Here's the full quote from her on this:

quote:

ET: I think, beyond the bluster and so on of this announcement, if we look at actually what there is [the Tories are] saying, they're essentially saying Theresa May made an announcement that she would change the law when she was Prime Minister - she didn't do it - and they're going to do it, but their main purpose is to stop vexatious and unfair actions, and who could be against that? I don't think that personally you need to change the Human Rights Act about that-

NR: You think there is another way of protecting veterans?

ET: Yes, I mean the, in the end it will be for the prosecuting authorities to decide when they prosecute and when they don't prosecute, and of course they shouldn't allow for vexatious or unfair actions.

The Tories have carte blanche on immigration, it's a weird catch 22 where they have no intention of letting their goats 'scape, but as they're seen as the party of anti-immigration, as opposed to their revolving door rivals, they can say what they want to their racist base, never go through with it, and never receive a backlash from it.

Which is why it'll be a massive pity when Labour announce their anti-immigration measures, as nobody on the left wants it, and nobody on the right believes it.

Another example of satire seeping into reality:

Election candidate to change name to 'Mr Clacton Brexit' posted:

AN election candidate wants to legally change his name to Mr Clacton Brexit in a bid to ensure 'Brexit' remains on the ballot in the town.

Andrew Morgan, 52, from Clacton, was left upset after Brexit Party leader Nigel Farage announced the party would not be standing in 317 Conservative-held seats - including in Clacton - at the General Election.

Mr Morgan now wants to change his name by deed poll to Andrew Morgan Clacton Brexit and will stand for election in Clacton.

He hopes the new name will appear on the ballot paper, but it is understood election bosses are looking into the legality of the move.

If it is not accepted, it is understood Mr Morgan will stand under his own name as an independent, although he said he has been offered the chance to stand for two other parties.

The ex-soldier and dad-of-two, who runs a firm restoring classic vehicles, had supported Brexit Party candidate Matthew Patten before he withdrew.

like it's really funny how many Tory-leaning journalists have come to HATE those cunts in the past year or so

Yeah his tweets used to be posted pretty often in here and I wondered how/why he was working for the Times, then one day @SamCoatesTimes became @SamCoatesSky and it turned out either he or his employers wondered the same.

A major news story featuring Prince Andrew, the month before a general election, at a point in time where the Tories had long outstayed their welcome. Let's hope history doesn't repeat itself that closely.
