    FBPE = Follow Back Pro EU, which is a mark that the most ultra remainers put on their twitter accounts to signify to each other that they are remainers and can thus safely converse.

    Surely they aren't going to put him in place if she gets the boot? I can't think of bigger electoral suicide, he's broken.

    He will have some sort of role with whoever does win. Maybe Chancellor, selling the rationing and unburied bodies to the Great British Public.

    The combination of cultural snobbery from the Blair era and the post-crash Tory governments of corporate penny-pinching have completely fucked large swathes of the country and absolutely no one on the Remain side is speaking to them at the moment. They're just calling them stupid and backwards - again. I've long said Labour front bench's Brexit 'position' of ambivalence is far better than anything that the commentariat pontificates they should be doing. You can tell Keir Starmer (a London wanker if ever there was one) is bursting to go all FBPE on us and Corbyn and crew are doing brilliantly to pin him back.

    How did he become so pivotal and important anyway? One minute he was a comedy buffoon mayor and a blink later he's the main man in the government.

    It is good.

    I think we're in for 20+ years of a dominant left, for what it's worth. Boomers are pulling up the drawbridge as far as assets are concerned and that will end the relevance of centre-right conservative politics.

    You really can't make this people's vote stuff up. It was bad enough when I read the BBC summary:

    Protesters calling for another referendum to decide the issue were joined by politicians from across the political spectrum at a rally on Sunday, including Tory peer Lord Heseltine, Green MP Caroline Lucas, and Labour MP Rosena Allin-Khan.
    But then I saw a couple of the pictures. Charles Dance!

    Toggle Spoiler


    Ms Lucas said the message to Mrs May was: "We don't want your vision of a mean-minded little Britain, with our borders closed and our horizons narrowed."
    Hooray! Prosecco all round.

    After all this time I still don't understand this stuff. I get the federalists. The United Europe people. There is a logic to it. But that sort of meaningless bollocks. Is it really as simple as the Deadly Dom focus groups suggested, that they simply project their notions of goodness onto Europe? If so then that really is its greatest success.

    Isn't that what religions do? Anything good is because of their god, anything bad is nothing to do with him. Politics is basically religion anyway these days.

    It also serves to reinforce the idea that these twats see the European Union as a bulwark against the electorate if we need it to stave off closed borders and mean-mindedness. It was odd how nobody seemed to attack that one during the actual vote, since the entire left-wing remain campaign was based on the premise that, without benevolent European regulations, we couldn't be trusted not to back the Conservative Party abolishing weekends.

    With the current lack of modernity in the voting act, don't worry they'll be plenty of yank attack ads being paid for with dark money.

    P.S. Crossrail will cost an extra couple of billion and will be delayed by another couple of years. It's like governing isn't actually about governing but just a 'how long can you publically trip over your own dick before feeling shame' endurance race.

    Why has she pulled it?

    Obviously it was going to lose, but presumably she knew that in the first place.

    In more satire is dead news it seems the vote may not be pulled because the House has to pull it not the Government so instead we will have a vote blocking the vote from not taking place and then a vote against the bill that can't be pulled. Hope that clears things up.

    The UK government spent almost £100,000 on Facebook adverts promoting Theresa May’s Brexit deal in the lead-up to the Commons vote being pulled, figures released by the social media firm show. As the Press Association reports, the company’s ad library report showed between Sunday December 2 and Saturday December 8 the UK government spent £96,684 on 11 promotions on Facebook. They included videos on “what the Brexit Deal means for you - explained in 60 seconds” and others focusing on immigration and jobs. Three videos, intending to explain the deal in terms of free trade, the economy and “controlling our borders”, cost between £10,000 and £50,000 each to promote, reaching between 500,000 and one million Facebook users apiece, the Press Association reports.
    Money well spent.

    Read this morning that if the British had had negotiators of this calibre in 1921 there wouldn't be an Irish border in the first place and we'd probably have gotten Wales as well.

    Whoever said that May is trying to take things down to the wire so that there is no time and it's literally this deal or no deal, is correct. At least if the vote had gone ahead, someone might have done something.

    I went to London today (extremely short notice, so soz 'Daws') and decided to check in on the rival demonstrations. In what is surely the most perfect visual representation of the entire thing, I saw a hard-faced remain woman try to take a sign off a Leave Means Leave bloke, only him to stand his ground shouting 'I AM ON ENGLISH COMMON LAND!'

    Are people actually blaming the government for Crossrail going over? It's a major infrastructure project. They all go over their budgets/schedules.

    I think the last major national project to come in on time and in budget was the Resolution-class submarines, and that was largely in spite of the government.

    You are welcome to fuck off any time you like. I made a harmless post, you made an unnecessary personal comment and I am, and wait until I use this magic phrase, CALLING YOU OUT on it. This isn't Reddit, or Twitter, you don't get to be an anonymous snarky piece of shit, you are accountable for comments you make to people.

    Well firstly I'm not 'accountable'. There's nothing you can do that has any impact on me whatsoever. Your CALLING ME OUT is meaningless, despite how important you might think your ALLCAPS make you look.

    Secondly, wanking yourself into a frenzy over the "blood-sport!!!" of a load of bellends like Boris Johnson calling each other a SHAMBLES is fucking odd. Getting this upset over someone saying it is tragically thin-skinned.

    I think you're probably not actually a particularly nice person. A lot of your views come across very unempathetic to the point of having quite a nasty undertone. This kind of narcissistic response to someone PERSONALLY ATTACKING you sits well with that also. Half the time when I pulled you up in the football threads I pointing out something you'd said which was literally just factually incorrect and even that you couldn't handle.

    Edit: I suppose if you could affect my life by complaining to the GMC about me but I imagine you'll need something better than 'called me odd on the internet's.
