Philip Rutman chat:

Can't believe the number of people saying it's good that he's gone (I have no view on him personally at doing his job), and the civil service should essentially learn who is boss and 'we the people' voted for the tories not the civil service to run the country.

Walking into tyranny and 'we the people' don't give a poo poo.

I've been living in a self-imposed media blackout since I realised the news is always going to be poo poo and depressing because everyone everywhere is a oval office who actively wants things to get worse (approx. 10 pm on Dec 12th 2019) and the bits that have been making it through my embargo have only confirmed this theory

e.g. this was literally the first newspaper front page I happened to glance at in 2 months



Everything's poo poo and we're all going to die, but I've managed to get pretty zen about it. In a literal sense; I've started reading a bunch more books than I used to and medieval japanese people have it all figured out (the poetry writing monks, not so much the ones chopping off each others heads), everything is ephemeral and you can't do much to change anything so just go outside and enjoy nature

maybe try and write a haiku, there's a bunch of cherry blossom around atm

going to vote for Rebecca long-bailey and probably angela rayner unless there's someone better running for deputy? (the only other one who sent me anything was richard burgon who was loving useless IIRC)

Burgon IMO is probably the best pick for deputy other than possibly Butler.

Butler seems likely to finish last but Burgon might do quite well out of her second prefs.

Wasn’t Teresa May the “new Iron Lady” for a year and a bit? It was a complete lie (after the first few months anyway)

It's weird, because carbon steel has less carbon in it than cast iron, but more than elemental iron, so it goes actual iron < mild steel < carbon steel < stuff that's called iron like cast iron and wrought iron in terms of amount of carbon, and carbon steel is made by removing carbon.

Yeah, Boris is too lazy to negotiate, so come December he'll either sign up to everything the EU's demanded (and then claim he hasn't), or we'll crash out with a no-deal Brexit.

The fun part is, we have no idea which it's going to be!

Supply chains are going to get completely wrecked this year though to the extent that the public will notice. There's a good chance that the knowledge that that'll happen again in January will get business and the public motivated enough to force the government to soft Brexit.

Given previous developments, I absolutely don't see this happening. I know it's pessimistic, but I honestly think the power of "we don't care just get it done" will outweigh the destroyed supply chains in the public's view.
