Absolute F*ckery - Politics Folk Say “Aye!”

[pk]

Well isn’t this a fucking mess.

I have to say - even in the most stagnant and disillusioned moments - I never imagined things this bleak.

There is no Left. Apparently. Not even tree-hugger identity now.

Diane Abbot should have been sidelined yonks ago. Corbyn is just a pillar of ridicule.

I’m not prepared to root for Kier Fucking Lawyer Starmer.

Brexit breaks my heart even though I got that sweet EU passport.

Even if it goes back to Peeps Vote for a 70% remain win, the damage is already done.

I do foresee the implosion of the tory syndicates and also the Trump voter base.

So that’s something.

But the Left have been shit. Maybe Paris will be our catalyst. Something has to give.

Either way, hope everyone is well xx love from your favourite timelord xx pk

Nice to hear from ya pk - but yes, it is all fucking fucked. And I agree that even if Brexit doesn't happen it's would cause a huge social schism... the only possible way out of a feeling of massive betrayal in that case might be the government to promise and actually give massive investment in and attention to all the neglected regions of the UK, which of course they should have done in the first place, but there you go. But no one's going to do that, as no one with the power gives a fuck about them.

I believe this is current Labour Party policy fwiw

 

[Tooter]

You are right about the damage being done....regardless of the outcome it's a huge embarrassment.....what a mess...

Many of the people from the United Kingdom have delusions of grandeur about their country which stem from then being on the winning side of the second world war, having been bailed out by the USA joining their side. In reality it is just a small Island off the coast of Europe with little global influence nowadays. While it still has a seat at the top table it has no real voice, many years ago I read a quote that said something along the lines of "The UK is a nation which had lost an empire, but had yet to find a role", it seems that is still very much the case.

"Is May fucked now?" (After today in parliament)
"Not yet. But she's bent over and with no knickers on."

Except we do launder and hide the money that the kleptoratic elites of the world hide; and, thanks to GCHQ, we evesdrop on all their private chats.

They also love the lazy clichés of out TV drama: Dr Who, Sherlock, Poirot etc. Even the Russian Ambassador to the UN has time for Inspector Barnaby.

But Mr Nebenzya said characters in Midsomer Murders knew "hundreds of very clever ways of killing someone" but those who sought to kill the Skripals "supposedly chose an extremely toxic chemical substance, the most risky, dangerous method possible" and "didn't really finish the job".

Mr Nebenzya criticised the sources of the British intelligence services, before adding: "Couldn't you come up with a better fake story?

I made my above post to give the malcontents a chance to show some jingoism in the hope it would make them feel better in these hard times, I didn't expect some many likes LOL

It an ill wind as the saying goes, I made a nice bit of cash today transferring money from the UK as the pound dropped to its lowest level for 18 months, I say keep May it can only be good for people who want to sell UK pounds

Who in their right mind is supportive of Jingoism? Of course tools like UKIP are but that doesn’t mean all Brexit votes are reactionary.

weren't you supposed to give us pristine quality dj hype fantasy fm tapes? could really do with those during these chaotic times.

What will happen?
Serious question..
If the UK crashes out, what will happen to everyday life in the UK.
Will there be massive inflation in a short time? Will there be increased food prices and petrol prices and a decrease in services?
Will food shortages occur?
Will there be anarchy and martial law?
Will people start to leave the UK to find a better life elsewhere?
What's the worst case, on the ground scenario of a no deal crash and burn exit?

 

[ManchesterBeth]

won't happen. we're staying in. some well deserved tensions, and, er, british pigs dissolving them whilst we go through another 2 year cycle of monotony. meanwhile corbyn goes even more centrist. more austerity, more deaths. business as usual with an added layer of extra-bleakness.

I grew up in the seventies and enjoyed the experience. A return to all the things that you mention is really quite appealing.

Yes

I'm a bit baffled to be honest. It's exactly what was predicted two years ago. The scenario 'Labour will gallop in on a big white horse and save everyone, even though more than half of the country don't want to be saved - they wanted this all along' was never on the table.

I feel like I'm living in a parallel universe where the thing that was forecast is somehow a complete shock to everyone.

Please please please have a general election and let Labour get in power, then by end of next year the economy would have crashed and my boys would be able to afford to buy a home for themselves.

Disaster of biblical proportions, real wrath-of-God type stuff. Fire and brimstone coming down from the skies. Rivers and seas boiling. Forty years of darkness. Earthquakes, volcanoes…The dead rising from the grave. Human sacrifice, dogs and cats living together – mass hysteria.
