Andrea Leadsom, honestly. Has there ever been a greater disparity between self-belief and actual capability? I'd call her the Ali Dia of politics but that'd be an insult to Ali Dia.

"Dunty"?

I know it's a troll but I can't work out if it's a double bluff.

May's deal means the managed decline of the UK, no deal means unmanaged decline. A reluctant vote for the former, obviously.

My vote round here is so worthless I even voted for the Women's Equality Party last time round. FPTP FTW.

I see the fascists outside parliament are feeling properly enabled now. CT's favourite PM's gift to the nation just keeps on giving.

Nobody likes you

You're either thick or you've been hoodwinked or both. But I agree that a lot of the current shitshow stems from how those few years were (successfully) spun for those who were ready to believe it.

What the fuck?

Everything is fine. Fine.

I'd expect a Labour voter like him to have strong opinion on the matter.

"If Brexit goes ahead it will mark not just a failure of economic and geo-political strategy – and, after all, such failures are common enough – but something much more unusual: the abandonment of any serious attempt to have such strategy." http://chrisgreybrexitblog.blogspot.com/2019/01/britain-is-on-brink-of-historic.html #bau

Given the full-on national crisis that's been triggered by a couple of dozen refugees in dinghies, I'm sure we'll be fine.

Also happy new year

A bit like you've given up the fight re centrism, I don't really see the point any more. If people have to be actively led to the point where they understand basic fundamental truths about the way humanity works - if they have absolutely no curiosity, no desire, no ability to think about these things - then really, why bother. You'll win one battle and the next one will immediately appear on the horizon. If we really are that thick as a species, let us reap the rewards. Fuck us.

This is what those "BUT REMANE SAID IT WOULD BE APOCALYPSE!!1" arguments fail to take into account. The reason it hasn't been that bad yet is precisely because it's been in enough people's interest to make sure things at least continue with some semblance of normality because, y'know, human decency and stuff. But there comes a point where that isn't within our control any more.

What if they're idiots? What can the "centre" ever do to appease idiots who are idiotic and vote for idiotic things? (No offence, CT.)

Aye, I can't see any way in which a powerful black man supporting one side of the debate would embolden underachieving closet racists to support the other side.

"Easily swallowed lies and shareable memes compared to dry facts and figures", if you prefer. Says a lot about us as a society that the former won the day, regrettably.

Indecisive.
