The 2019 General Election

[Plumdaff]

If passed on Monday..by my calculation (iffy?)...the earliest Election day would Thursday 5th December. (there has to be a recess of at least 25 sitting days)

That's my work Christmas do. So I was already going to be drunk and maudlin.

Well you have to remember they are tories and therefore are a) the establishment and b) don't actually give a fuck about anybody who isn't, but yeah I agree it's a strong campaign line to take

Farage has been saying from day one that this would go to a GE under the banner of ‘The People Vs Parliament.

 

[brogdale]

Gary Gibbon on C4News just revealed that he'd been told by 'a source' that if Johnson fails to secure GE19 on Monday then the vermin will go on a (legislative) 'strike'! They'll bring nothing forward at all, including their shite deal/WAB.

Tories to go on strike

It gets better.

He can’t bring legislation forward with a majority of -43.

I have to say I’m really starting to enjoy this. The whole sleaze ridden pus is becoming more exposed to the public gaze than it’s ever been.

I’ve just seen the leader of the SNP in Westminster claim their can’t be a GE because it’ll be ‘dark and cold’ in Scotland in December

People can be homeless, struggle to afford to put the heating on and work in cold outside spaces but not vote.

Put the lot against a wall

This is the Gary Gibbon 'strike' piece...

 

[Mr.Bishie]

Tories to strike? Will they now change policy to increase the % for strike action?

fuck me again

How strikers are dealt with in UK...

 

[Mr.Bishie]

Has there ever been in the history of UK politics, a strike by a government?

 

[Supine]

Cummings is next level for trying to play the system. Luckily he seems to be rather shit at actually playing it. A strike by the tories LOL. Fucking chancers.

 

[Mr.Bishie]

Tory gov strike?! Oh my fuckin sides

 

[brogdale]

When Priti Patel started singing the 'earwig O' song...

 

[Supine]

There is absolutely no reason to pause the bill. Apart from the fact johnscunt doesn’t want the scrutiny or any proposed amendments. The election at this point is a deflection from the problems he faces in getting anything through Parliament.

Do labour still want to renegotiate their own version of brexit? Give me strength!!!

"In America, garbagemen go on strike. In Boris Britain, garbage men go on strike."

 

[Raheem]

This is the Gary Gibbon 'strike' piece...

If they did that, wouldn't the other parties plus Tory rebels just take over the HoC and pass a soft Brexit/referendum bill or whatever?

 

[Humberto]

Got to be worth a go.

 

[Humberto]

May as well go down fighting

 

[Humberto]

As in I literally have never really met a Tory. The odd one. Don't know. My personal experience I've literally never met anyone who professes Tory afilliation. And yet they are apparently everywhere.

 

[Mation]

the PM's pants are permanently ablaze

 

[hash tag]

 

[tim]

Another 5 years of Tory rule with a clown at the helm. Fuck me, I really can’t cope with that thought.

Don't worry the UVF will be doing their damnedest to ensure that keeps his dying in a ditch pledge.

 

[brogdale]

Welcome to the neoliberal, consolidator state in action; no room at the (public) "Inn" for even the performative charade of representative democracy.

Fewer, I know Pickman's model

the less / fewer debate is one i don't pursue.

you should be addressing your post to those with skin in the game like Taper, B.I.G, dcdulwich and danny la rouge

You're right, of course. I should strive to differentiate the particular pedantic proclivities of the pedants present here.
My bad.

my pedant days are in the past and any pedantic enquiries should be addressed to those posters who have adopted the mantle of the ultrapedant

Just reminded me; been a while since I've heard anyone called a grammar nazi...are they still amongst us?

 

[andysays]

I'll admit, my first thought on reading it was that it should be "fewer and fewer", not that there should be more public buildings available for use.

Is this a demonstration of the effects of aging, or have I just spent too much time exposed to the pedants of Urban?

 

[Yossarian]

There hasn't been an election this close to Christmas since 1918, I'm surprised the Tories want to have one at a time of year when people are talking about peace on Earth and goodwill to all men - wouldn't they do better in January when everybody's miserable and grumpy?
