EU referendum, brexit and the aftermath

All this is giving her free advertising for her house for sale and in a climate where it might even be difficult for her to sell her expensive house in Exeter, that crowdfunding is pretty much guaranteeing she gets her money.

I hope every person that goes to view it walks dogshit very deep into those carpets

hatie hopkins open house starter kit?

Ha! Fuck that looks so weird. Like a flesh jobby fresh out the turd mangle

Better to offer that to the people selling the house it'll have to move into?

The DUP MP Sammy Wilson has said the Irish government is having "a very public hissy fit" over Brexit.

Fucking ejit.

He will not be remembered for anything other than Brexit

(Oh, and the pig stuff)

He was going to be the worst PM in living memory, but then Theresa was all like “hold my beer!”

Ha - yes - like an English football manager ... (or any manager of your choice if you like).

I've lived through Heath, Wilson, Callahan, Thatcher, Major, Blair, Brown, Cameron and May.
I was too young to remember Heath or Wilson, but even so I'm not sure what happened for John Major to be the best prime minister I can actually remember.

Oh, yeah, pretty much nothing happened except some sex scandals and an egg controversy. I'm sure we all miss those days now.

Was it the “cones hotline” that clinched it for you?

Is that because where Cameron's legacy is fucking both the country and a pig, Major's is just fucking Edwina Curry?

That or making the Radio Times and the TV Times carry each other's listings.

Harold Wilson started the open university, pretty impressive if you ask me. He had a view of distance learning waaaaaaaaay before it was much easier with computers and internet.

Also did a pretty shrewd deal on EU market access, keeping the £ and getting all the benefits.

At least Theresa May is giving the kids something to write songs about again.

TM sounds dead inside (and as though she doesn't believe any of what she is saying)

I'd have thought it's pointless her talking at all at this point to be honest - who will be listening to anything she proposes with any expectation that it will come to fruition.

I see the New Statesman suggests the 40 of the needed 48 letters of no confidence in May have been received by the 1922 committee chair...

moggmentum is building...

Interesting article on the coordinated harrassment by the far right of 'experts'

https://www.aaup.org/article/new-reality-far-rights-use-cyberharassment-against-academics

There are apparently 'rumours' circulating that enough letters have been received

Would be a nice present for TM while hanging out with the movers and shakers at Davos

Welcome back Teresa! Now - do one. kthxbai.

If that's true, the Tories really have style--backstabbing while May isn't in town.

Straight from the playbook of all authoritarian 3rd World regimes.
