  1. Theresa May will get it. She's been playing the long game.
  2. Hang on, I've been away suffering the shonky mobile coverage of Pembrokeshire all weekend and apparently I've missed an incident. This is marvellous fun.
  3. This is why plenty of mainland Europeans will be delighted to see the back of us. Assuming the EU survives at all, obviously. It's a legacy-fest all round.
  4. Which essentially means this is all the Lib Dems' fault for buckling on tuition fees.
  5. I'm off to Wales for the weekend and I will be scrutinising everyone I encounter to judge whether they voted in or out.
  6. Could this not have all happened before I quit drinking? Properly livid that I can't hit the scotch and get all sweary on Twitter like I used to.
  7. That's the sound CT makes every time a JustEat duck pizza delivery arrives.
  8. It's front and centre on the BBC News website...
  9. German media says no terrorism. Special police killed the guy, nobody else physically injured (some affected by tear gas), security service working on the basis that it was just some lone nut with a gun, motive still outstanding.
  10. "Unsurprisingly nearly all (98%) of UKIP voters say they will vote to leave the EU." Who the fuck are the 2%? Even by UKIP divvy standards, they are particularly sensational divvies.
  11. https://www.foreignaffairs.com/articles/united-kingdom/2016-06-21/please-leave tl;dr we should vote Remain if only to piss off the rest of Europe.
  12. https://medium.com/im-trying-to-fact-check-brexit/fact-checking-brexit-the-conclusion-c1f56ba4cb70#.k8xyi0rh8
  13. "We're not going to go there just because you produce Cadbury chocolates and Maltesers, for god's sake." I like him. But seriously, from what I've seen anyone who isn't pro-Erdogan will tell you that their current regime is moving them further and further away from compliance, and it's kind of embarrassing to a lot of regular Turks how the people in charge seem to be struggling with the basics of diplomacy while doing so, never mind EU-compatible stuff like a free media and all. Apparently they're not great at realising that "treading on people's toes" and "getting your own way" tend to be mutually exclusive (unless your name is Putin).
  14. Plus Turkey have distanced themselves politically from "the west" in recent years, what with Erdogan's authoritarianism and various spats with Germany/Merkel and all. I'd say the prospect of Turkish membership was much more likely five or ten years ago than now. Try telling that to the people who've bought into the xenophobic rubbish that Leave's been shoving through their letterboxes though.
