Is it me, or have we all missed the bit where the Labour Party says "These are the things we want and if we don't get them we'll vote against the Government." I thought they were the opposition, but I'm clearly being naive. They seem to have said "If we don't get what we want we'll cry and stamp our feet, but then do what Saint Theresa says." We're ****ed.
They've drawn a line in the sand. Which Theresa May will be free to walk over at her leisure. Unless her own party stops her, which it might. We're definitely ****ed though
I giggled when Corbyn said, "If she gets what we want, then we'll back her." I was looking forward to one day him saying something along the lines of, "It's outrageous! That woman has gone and got a great deal for the country; this is not what we wanted. Vote me!"
Nicola Sturgeon is obviously feeling left out after seeing pictures of Theresa May signing the Article 50 letter so has had a picture taken of her signing a request for a referendum. She's got to go through the motions I suppose. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-39449459
I swear that the following is not an April Fool. I sincerely wish it was. It's possibly the most appalling thing I've seen in a very long time. Article and comments from the Mail. All from the following tweet - broken down so you can see it without popping onto the twitter site: I think the highlight of the comments is calling the Holocaust "the Unpleasantness". Vin
Just tracked down the article and checked the comments to verify...it's actually even more horrifying when you see what is getting voted down. It is funny seeing people try to decide which emergent narrative to go with, however: "Hitler was a liberal because his party has socialist in the name" is running neck-and-neck with "maybe Hitler wasn't so bad after all".
Strangely the Mail on Sunday was (and still is) one of not many pro-EU papers, pretty much in open defiance of its big brother.
This is just the sort of thing i'd expect from old Dracula.... http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-39472207
followed in the Telegraph by "we would cripple Spain in a war" (forgetting we're both in NATO and would have to protect each other) http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/201...r-weaker-falklands-could-still-cripple-spain/
The Sun is pure gutter but at least it tries (and occasionaly succeeds) to be funny. The worry is that people lap this nonsense up and take it seriously. What was that PT Barnum quote again?
