Fed up talking videogames? Why?

That’s not Grant Shapps, that’s Michael Green.

strawberry float it, I'm having the time of my life in Spain right now and will have to leave it behind along with my new found friends and women but if remain's only on 51% after all this then we're done. Hard brexit us up, we don't deserve any better.

It's a poll with a small catchment. I've learned not to trust any of them.

This Twitter thread is worth a read on how the far right has exploited neutral media's incompetence and obsession with selling news as simply as possible to put us all in the ridiculous and idiotic position we're in.

Why do people find it so hard to understand that resigning your membership of a club means you have no say on what the club does?

The strawberry floating ego people have about britian is strawberry floating stupid.

This is why whenever right see anything ehing advertised or whatever that eggs on "Britishness" or nationalism in general I get annoyed

Egging up the idea that your country is is better than another is a stupid and dangerous thing.

It’s three weeks tomorrow that the vote goes before parliament. Awful lot can happen in 3weeks in politics.
I don’t think the deal will pass but an awful lot of hot air has been expelled in the last few days.

It may be closer than people think or expect.

May might not be prime minister although I feel like I'm going to be saying the same thing for the twenty years time.

Never thought I'd be agreeing with Peter Hitchens but...

https://www.dailyfail.co.uk/debate/arti ... about.html

For far too long we in this country have thought we were richer, more powerful and, in general, better than we actually are. Now we find out the hard truth, exposed in all its gloomy detail by the EU talks. Will we learn the necessary lesson, or will we prefer our precious illusions?

I can just remember in the mists of childhood memory the 1956 Suez crisis, the feeling of panic and humiliation in the air.

In that year, too many of us continued to imagine we were more important than we were. The Americans wasted no time in letting us know that we no longer ruled the waves, harassing our ships at sea and threatening us with bankruptcy on the world markets.
