    Like those dubbed nfl things I reckon it's impossible to tell once you have been prejudiced one way or the other (ie you see what you think you want to see). I reckon it probably was 'woman' though (makes more sense), but is not the bigger problem that something muttered under ones breath in obvious exasperation is somehow fair game for widespread critique and condemnation? Ok denial makes it more of a story but is woman now another of those words you can't say (or are we back at calm down love-gate again)?

    I've been a bit baffled by it (what is he meant to say? 'Stupid person'?) but that doesn't seem to be a discussion that's on the table nowadays.

    My mum is forcing me to go to a meeting with the UK ambassador to Switzerland so he can inform me of my rights post Brexit. I pointed out that I have a work permit strong enough that I’m allowed to vote in local elections and that Switzerland isn’t in the EU but I still have to go apparently.

    I’d got over being annoyed about Brexit but now I have to go to the most boring three hour long function I can think of, I’m putting hashtag fbpe (or whatever still don’t know what it stands for) in my twitter handle and retweeting peter mandelson and lord Adonis.

    The arguments over me not going would be longer and more boring than the event so I think it’s a fair assessment of the situation.

    Didn't the Brexit lot say they wanted closer ties with Australia at some stage? And other Commonwealth members, I suppose. I can't even fathom how that was supposed to be a positive argument.

    Remain should have made it the focus of an advertising campaign.

    *Camera pans over desolate wasteland*
    This is the set of Mad Max. It was filmed in Australia. The cast didn't even know they were acting. Australians are a barely civilised rabble, and the Brexiteers want to give them unfettered access to our shores. Prevent the Australian Invasion. Vote to remain.

    Having a closer, even a 'special' relationship with Australia makes a lot of sense on various grounds, but, speaking as a Brexit maniac, I find the general Commonwealth-based arguments shit. The majority of it has nothing to offer us, and it should really just be abolished (it should never have existed really). Somebody really ought to be making the argument that having a 'reduced role on the world stage', if that is indeed to be the result of the process (I remain to be wholly convinced), is actually not a bad thing.

    It was probably slightly on the boring side in the end. A better film would have cut out all the peripheral stuff, and the Craig Oliver sympathy-wanking, and just been about Deadly Dom vs the bastards (i.e. everyone on the Leave side who wasn't him).

    Carole and friends are not actually campaigning about cheating either, they're campaigning about the fact that their side lost and are clinging to literally anything they can find to keep up with that. If Remain had won with the same cheating they wouldn't have given a single shit and it would have been Guido Fawkes doing the forlorn investigation.

    I don't remember seeing a single Vote Leave ad online in the course of May/June 2016, but then they probably thought I was a nailed on remainer. Silly Dom.

    My local MP (Bim) voted YES to the deal. Clearly scared of crossing May.

    It has not gone down well though according to Twitter.

    Ours was a safe seat (it's been conservative since 1974), I don't think it's all that safe now.

    Jesus. Our media doesn't cover it very much beyond the times Theresa May has a "confidence" vote or whatever so I can't really get a good grasp on the situation (and are entirely too lazy to do my own research, of course.)

    I do hope it turns out for you lads, at least, whatever "turning out" may be.

    I think, with my incredibly limited political knowledge, that another referendum will be held and the vast majority will vote remain.

    Well can I ask a question though.

    Is Theresa May just this largely incompetent person, as I'm gathering from all of the times everyone has voted no against her proposals, or.... is she just kinda stuck in her position having to try and fulfill the "will of the people" but there really are no realistic exit strategies that make sense and she's being made the scapegoat? Or is it kinda both?

    Both.

    She is absolutely useless, but Churchill in his pomp couldn't have got this done.
