i imagine that is some sort of veiled threat. much like threatening to close the air space. I find this kind of threatening aggressive attitude of brexitters intriguing. almost as intriguing as when they project their attitude into others (i.e. when the eu get framed as threatening for not...

it is bloody cold. not objectively, but subjectively. I am convinced my brain's core temperature is at least 2C below normal. It would explain the sluggish hollow echoed sense/sound of everything. I'm going for a run and sauna after work. cycling to the supermarket afterwards on a beat up old...

it is curious, I didn't think I had the capacity to feel sorry for her, but she is beginning to permanently have that gripped rigor mortis Munch's the scream expression I associate with particularly grim Monday mornings.

she wont be, the tories are desperate to avoid a leadership contest (it will be a very public tearing apart between hard and soft brexitters, and hand the next election on a plate to corbyn, and they know it). and wonderful that is, I relish the more slow tearing apart that will happen instead.

true, but shemozzles post helpfully illustrates some of the anglophile delusions of grandeur that propels brexit, as if England (not the United Kingdom) is a world power and fulcrum around which everything rotate. it would be a farce if we weren't on the same desperately insignificant...

proper schrodinger cat, we cannot know whether it is dead or not

The step most of them skipped is thinking (about the present and what successive Conservative and neoconservative governments inflicted), before voting. Brexit is really just a further desperate gamble from the betting shop (owned by those in tax havens) on maintaining the parasitic lifestyle...

It's not ideological, it's practical, existential. Residence and citizenship is not synonymous with ethnicity, and is subject to regulation(I'd have thought a xenophobic brexiter would appreciate that more than most?). Not that citizenship is a problem. Get yourself to uni, study something you...

No it's not. It's up to an individual to choose an ethnic affilition/identity. So, you chose to identify with Jamaica. But that is not a biological phenomenon. Ethnic identity does not have any basis in fact/biology. It is not something anyone is born with. It's a hypothetical construct. If you...

You weren't born Jamaican, only homosapiens, all else is presumption. On topic, I find it deeply and excruciatingly pleasurable to observe the tories implode. And it's so much cheaper than a fifty year detour into trying to become a cheapskate tax haven/albania

A correction, you were not 'born white', race is a hypothetical construct without any basis in fact. You may have assumed an ethnic identity on the basis of all kinds of misleading information (do you read the sun?) but don't let that shackle you (it too has no basis in fact). Something else...

no, the blackmailing of the uk, all along, has been by the xenophobic racist wing of the tory party. have you recently tried to tell the bank you don't want any further part of your mortgage agreement and you want the house as well? much (probably most) of the uk's wealth is because its been...

and I'm sure the tooth fairy likes me. I do love the way brexitters make sweeping utterly unfounded assertions. it reminds me of darth vaders followers in star trek.

yes, that, in part, is why I find the choice to brexit so utterly daft. I belong to a professional body, it allows me to do work and research with others within systematic parameters, standards. it allows for development and so many mutual benefits. it would take a profound degree of short...

Not 'wishful opinion', more misinformed destructive bit of acting out. Those who supported brexit, like you, have inflicted all this damage on the UK. The fact that you lack the self awareness to realise that does not exonerate you. As an aside, I'm very optimistic. This costly detour should...

and there I was thinking you and Mr Mcdonald would be the most intimate bedfellows. nudge nudge, wink wink. Practically it seems clear to me that we're heading for a hard brexit, and border,that won't work and cause massive collateral damage; followed by a labour victory in the next ge and a...

This am on the today programme labour's shadow Chancellor did a relatively reasonable job of describing in part that offshore tax avoiding capital is what really propel brexit, they care about the implications of a hard border, the recession that follows brexit as much as they cared about the...

good luck, I wish you all the best, the nhs is in an increasingly worrying state at the moment, it can feel a matter of surviving it rather than being helped by it (I have a struggle with long term health issues too and am beginning to conclude I have to take care of things myself)

oddly I feel increasingly grateful for him (he embodies brexit with his blend of self serving insincerity and narcissism), I'd feel the same about boris if he didn't jeopardise the lives of innocent civilians. at the risk of going completely Shakespearian (Macbeth comes to mind) we may try and...

Reese mog has voted against allowing eu migrants to stay, as has patel and other brexiters. It find the editing out of the xenophobia out of the brexit campaign - and I don't only mean you I mean generally - quite disturbing. Not because I'm a migrant, but because it conjures images of Orwell'...
