all this to say, and staying on topic, that the sunlit uplands are never coming, they never existed and the liars and frauds who pushed this poison on the country are being found out But to watch even tiny slivers of engagement with the EU result in such weird, intemperate outbursts (have you SEEN the front pages of Mail/Express/Sun etc today?) show just how dysfunctional this country has become

So Boris Johnson goes on an unhinged rant about the deal using violent gimp imagery (an image repeated by other brexiteers), and I comment on it but it’s MY language you are policing? how come it’s not Johnson and his language you are commenting on?

That’s not how life works jazzer if you accuse anyone of anything you have to be able to back it up besides. I thought you were “done with me”. Yet here you sir plucking accusations out of the air but without any backbone or evidence

So no. It’s just vague hand-waving and accusation. And no ability to directly quote. standard mo

Which bit of my language is offensive and why? quote me

Seems a bit off. If two countries have a majority of dumbos why do we get to offload ours? Instead of us taking in theirs The corporation reports the whole thing as a soap opera with characters. Instead of reporting the actuality. bbc is as culpable as anyone in this whole shitshow

Update May 19: Jesus wept. The response to starmer’s negotiations today. Wartime “surrender”. Multiple “gimp” references. Much media wailing! tories (and presumably reform) promising to reverse ALL of the gains A deeply deeply stupid country When you are this chippy, this stupid, this bitter ”feels like we never left” yes sweetie, because you being in the eu was never the reason for your problems. But even now you are too dim to realise it https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2025/may/17/essex-thurrock-grays-views-brexit-eu-referendum?CMP=Share_iOSApp_Other

🙏 Well pleased

one of my main worries if I was looking into this would be the bottom line rent and rates - they must be magnitudes higher than back then

there are items of furniture I bought in there that I still use now after 2 moves

if you've lived in the area for 20 years you might remember the indoor market on Zenoria st - where Gail's is now? Different times and different demographics since then but I always got the impression that struggled at the time But as I say, it was 20 years ago so there might be an appetite now - best of luck

Precisely DR it’s entirely understandable to conclude one is so disillusioned by Labour for Tories, it must be time for someone else That is an entirely reasonable position But if the next step is to then transfer your vote to a party full of charlatans, snake oil salespeople and racists? Then you stop being reasonable and start being thick and/or racist i understood why Tories took power in 2010. I feared it was an error but I wasn’t castigating people who voted for them tories (then, not now) and Labour are hamstrung not by civil service or EU but by a weird media and a weird voting system in an age of social media. The answers don’t seem to be coming from them yet but voting reform will only damage the country internationally and internally the Tories may yet regain power but are currently led by a madwoman, with a madman positioning himself to take over. Will take years for them to sort themselves out labour are making errors all over the shop but are at least in the ballpark of sane governanc. In no way should this give them a free pass but in 2025 there genuinely isn’t anyone better (and current polling for reform is meaningless - in any general election be it 4 years or 4 months their lack of accountability and standards will become all too clear)

say it ain’t so “ 12 winning councillors under scrutiny with three accused of retweeting Britain First comments” https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2025/may/10/reform-uk-councillors-face-allegations-sharing-far-right-islamophobic-content?CMP=Share_iOSApp_Other

He’s talking about me mal but me being me, if I had views that were thick or racist I wouldnt post them either - because yknow Embaaaaarasing but if I had views that weren’t thick or racist I would post them - because yknow, what would be the problem ? so, QED..: Because if I was JUST calling people thick or racist when they weren’t, then other people would call me out. Right? Because that’s how it works but the only people so far who are getting all precious…
