Northern Ireland remains the main problem. Now there’s a big surprise.
Imagine, all of this because the first Queen Elizabeth and later King James I decided stocking Northern Ireland with English and Scots was the best way forward. Who knew 400 years later the UK would still be dealing with this decision. :coffee:

It’s flipping chaos outside of Parliament. Roads are all closed for the protestors. Paddy wagons are lining the streets, I’ve counted at least 5 helicopters just hovering above. People are wearing the E.U. flag or clothes with the flag on it. I’m not sure they understand that NOT brexitting isn’t an option.

It’s crazy out here. This is Mark in the U.K., back to you in the studio.

Ever notice how the first people to holler about threats to democracy are also the first to protest its outcomes?

Looks like a big win for Boris Johnson and his Tories!

And a big loss for Jeremy Corbyn and his anti-Semitic leftist lapdogs.

Democracy isn’t working out for the authoritarian scolds

A rule change is probably in order

I'm pretty sure the historic landslide Tory victory with Brexit on the line is not fake news. It actually happened.

They all drank the Corbyn Kool-Aid before the moral evil of the guy emerged. All hard lefties have Stalin right beneath the surface. People like Sanders, The Squad, and Jearf.

So, if someone has sex with AOC, are Squat-thrusts involved? :?

I do think it could be a foretelling of 2020. The people vote for Brexit three years ago & Parliament refuses to acknowledge it so the people get a second chance & throw a considerable amount of Parliament out.

Trump wins in 2016 & the Democrats spend the majority of their time trying to reverse the will of the people...

They actually won't because Conks will be so obsessed with "owning Libs" that they will inevitably get drunk on their power and fuck up their own success. :nod:

:coffee:
People are just sick of you guys’ crap, Jearf

And you’re still a minority (i know social media makes you think you arent)

So every bit of crazy you put out there just drives voter turnout for the right

So keep on spewing

Sounds like the LP has similar issues to the Dems with elitism and soft peddling. Strong positions have certain advantages and they chose to ignore the plight of Northern industrial towns - their rust belt.

I think autocorrect did something to your post. Rephrase, please!

Fixed. At least it autocorrected to “did peddling” rather than “ped diddling”.

What do you mean by “strong positions have certain advantages”? Johnson’s laser focus on Brexit, Labour’s economic platform, or something else?
