EU referendum, brexit and the aftermath

Ah now , that's #jazzist :p

Jeremy Hunt?
Doesn't his run in with the Junior Doctors put him in the same classification as Gove;
useful idiot burnt to antagonise special interest group,
or does his previous activity in the Sky takeover and
Murdoch's re-emergence give him a 2nd life?

or Thee Majority

*but I believe that most of this is done so the elites can preserve their elite arts, and it is done at the expense of thee majority who would benefit if the money was invested at a more grass roots level.*

Having no money has created some great music.

But you need money to buy drugs to make music to take drugs to.

Can we not claim for some sort of compensation...like the ppi missold mortgage one ;)

Can you imagine....

What would you suggest?

What is effective depends on your pollitics and what you want from all this.

I think i might join a political party.

I'm about to leave one, would you like a membership?

You might have to have Angela Eagle as your leader...

True
ok - how about having no drugs has created some great music that the people with money buy drugs to listen to ?

If by some crazy turn of events Corbyn survives this could actually be amazing.

Angela Eagle

I laughed when I heard this. Ed Milliband thinks Corbyn is unelectable and she's the future. Fuck. Off.

Easts - as often - appears to be a little dead (baring some life on a certain table), and in need of revival, so how about this discussion group relocates to the Chesham Arms next Wednesday and 'has it out'!?

Bring ya flutes

If I were in charge a lot more money would go into music in schools and opportunities for young people to get involved in music... it would not go on preserving a particular style of music, or expensive purpose-built concert halls, and the extra money going in would nbot being going on producing Grade 8 level harpists.

Did you just discovered how much we charge for our bottom bracket labour?

You've been talking to Jesus again haven't you?

I don't even know where to begin with this...

Dear UK Lords,

Go fuck yourself.

Is a good start ;)

None of this remotely surprises me.

I think inviting UKIP and their morally-bankrupt bunch of closet racists to go and do one would be more appropriate than tarring the whole of the HoL with the same brush.

"and then the Government benches agree!"

I think the HoL needs to do one in the name of democracy.

That the Lib Dems posted something other than a retweet from a newly signed up member? I know!

It was because the gov benches agreed, I assumed that's a mix of Labour and Tories.

If not, just the nasty ones can be tarred. The house of lords is in itself strange and not democratic...but ok, it is what it is.

The government benches means the Tories. Not Labour, not the LibDems, nor the cross-benchers (who tend to be the relatively sane ones). There are a lot of pillocks in the HoL but with most large bodies of people, there are some good ones. Even if they are depressingly few in number.

There is no UKIP bench in the House of Lords. There are three Ukip peers and they are very rarely in the chamber at the same time. They never sit together, two habitually sit on the opposition side and one always sits with the conservatives.
Most of the peers are actually surprisingly sane. It's the ones everyone has heard of who give them all a bad name.

I am by no means a UKIPer, but I must point out that he didn't exactly advocate holding them hostage.
