They're gonna do no deal. They always fucking were. It's disaster capitalism. Cunts.

Yep and 40% of the country will lap up the narrative that it’s the nasty EU’s fault anyway.
Fuck it, I hope it’s no deal and I hope it’s horrific. Brexiteers made their bed, they can lie in it.
A fantastic deal.
The amount of this going on by the frothing-at-the-mouth types is mind-boggling.Originally Posted by Byron
Isn't this just typical negotiation posturing and/or an attempt to have some sort of framework to operate in when next year hits? It's all well and good kicking everything down the road to be sorted in the trade deal, but when that trade deal doesn't happen (it will) you probably need to have some semblance of something to fall back on. There are ctually quite a lot of interesting decisions that need making, which is more worrying given the state of the current administration in the UK. The EU will wander on regardless and other than a few shrill headlines to the contrary, life will go on.
I think they do want no deal and will just blame the EU not giving us everything and covid for it happening. That will be then used to justify all the shaftings handed out to secure trade deals that line the pockets of billionaires and disadvantage us plebs more. Bojo was getting showered with champagne and blowjobs at some US Healthcare event as soon as May's blood was in the water.
“COVID-19 is making us look shit, back to the culture war”
100% what is happening down here atm.
Why is Hancock speaking on anything that doesn't have to do with health? I mean he's unqualified to speak on that subject but at least it's within his job pervue.
What the fuck does he know about the WA and the Irish Peace Process?
This government shows so many signs of operating within a 'circle of trust', which will kill them internally eventually.
Everybody else who talks about the Good Friday Agreement doesn't seem to have read it so he might as well pile in.
@Queenslander will enjoy that.
It's a weird thing where he's clearly answering in such a way as to avoid saying anything, as they presumably all learn to, but (assuming he hasn't got the balls to challenge the basis of the question) he would have been better off just saying 'Nah not really love' and standing there until she gave up.
Always amazes me when I read these people's academic credentials after they die a death like this. Raab was the other one that comes to mind. Does brain rot set in because all they've been doing is white man procrastination i.e. high-level Civil Service work or is it just the pressure and stage fright that makes them have these brain farts?
"I think we should listen to people's sisters" got a legit lol.
It must be something approaching the latter. If Donald Trump has taught us anything, it's that you can just wave these media wankers off. What can they do?
'Do you have anything to add to that?'
'No.'
She then either reads some quotes out ('As I said, he's been asked to advise specifically on...') or goes on some pointless whinge (just smirk at her). Either way, nobody watched it at the time, and nobody lols at it afterwards. Instead you get that.
Ya, I'd agree.
Same.
I was constantly amused during that video by the way his face defaults to that gormless fucking grin when he's not talking.
Lol wait untill they dig up all of uncle Tony's old sound bites.

AND HE'S TONY ABBOTT, TONY ABBOTT FC, HE'S THE GREATEST TRADE NEGOTIATOR THE WORLD HAS EVER SEEN.UK signs first major post-Brexit trade deal with Japan
Build back better? Ugh, these people need to be banned from speech."From our automotive workers in Wales to our shoemakers in the North of England, this deal will help build back better as we create new opportunities for people throughout the whole of the UK and help level up our country."
Isn't that the Biden campaign slogan?
Maybe there are 23 year old staffers on both sides of the Atlantic independently deciding that it somehow makes sense or means anything.
It'll be something involving one of those focus groups that decide everything even though no-one knows anyone that actually participates in them.
A slogan is just a sentence designed by committee.
Tony. Tony, Tony. Tony, Tony. Tony, Tony Abbott.
Boris. Boris, Boris...
Anybody that truly likes or loves Queen is always shit.
When I was in sixth form some lass was having a completely normal eighteenth, but then, after she did her thank you for coming bit, her uncle treated all the teenagers in the room to his quite serious cover of Crazy Little Thing Called Love. He was properly going for it, and all of the family were loving it (and cheered him on for it like it was a regular part of their gatherings), where as I think everyone else in the room is still confused to this day.
I used to love Queen when I was a teenager. I probably haven't listened to it for 12-15 years now, and I doubt I will again, but I do find it funny how upset a lot of serious musicheads get about them. They were basically a chart pop band masquerading as a rock group - so what? They did it well, churned out loads of hits and there are at least 8-10 legitimately good songs in the catalogue. Most of the albums (from memory) were 60% shite but then most albums are that or worse.
The miserable musos of the time seemed to require everything to come from a gritty, underground platform rebelling against the establishment - Queen were not that, but so what, I mean, the clue's in the fucking name - and if I'm being mischievous, I don't think their critics could accept on a deep psychological level the lead singer being as 'flamboyant' as he was, coming from that place. It's a bit like today when the left think all black people should vote Labour.
They're a good gateway band to enjoy when you're 15 and not knowledgeable or mature enough to appreciate better/more nuanced music.

Me and my mates were actually talking about Queen last night. I don't like them, but it doesn't come from a position of rockist snobbery, they just leave me a bit cold. I tried to explain why I didn't like them last night, but the problem with that kind of musical discussion is that usually it's just a purely emotional, subjective thing, and then you're basically working backwards and trying to think of arbitrary justifications.
Bohemian Rhapsody is one of my least favourite songs of all time, it's like nightmare circus music. I fucking love I Want to Break Free, though.
Everyone likes Queen, but being bang into them is a bit suspect. I object to Brian May having one guitar tone more than all the flamboyance.
Speaking of once popular but now severely dated shite, I was eagerly awaiting the Tony Blair intervention on this Brexit bollocks. I thought he would just be typically shameless about it, but using John Major for cover is a smart move.
Basically this.
Mercury is great and is the only reason why they're remotely likeable. His presence and personality is something else, but not enough to carry a song about riding a bike.
We are the champions and we will rock you are fucking awful too.
Bohemian Rhapsody is great but that leaves them on level pegging with Wizzard and Chumbawamba in my mind. One hit wonders.
Another One Bites the Dust is alright.
Only because of Gladiators.
They're like Monty Python. Freddie Mercury was a brilliant frontman, but ninety per cent of their stuff was shit. The albums are all shit, but nobody has ever actually listened to them all (other than the aforementioned wrong'uns), so people only know the ten per cent that is good/five per cent that is top drawer, which happens to be just about enough for an enjoyable compilation album or a legendary concert. When somebody says they like Queen they mean they like the ten songs they actually know.
That doesn't make sense, assuming 'protecting GB to Northern Ireland exports' is the default setting that the government claims the European Union is cocking about with. It's like asking how much of a consideration not being naked was when I chose my t-shirt this morning. Well, it wasn't.
It's all a bit of bollocks this stuff. What Theresa May agreed to was shit, and what Boris Johnson agreed to, whilst slightly understandable in context, was shit. It's not a particularly good look that we're now trying to worm our way out of its inherent logic (although clever people saw this coming); but then what are you meant to do when the other side aren't negotiating in the good faith that these sort of things are predicated on? As a STAUNCH Brexiteer I'm not arsed, but then I wouldn't have negotiated with them at all because this was all obvious.
The best bit for me is all the hand-wringing about what sort of message this sends out to the rest of the world. What universe do these dickheads live in where other countries - let alone the shithouse ones they want to be telling off - look to us for moral leadership?
He really doesn't help himself looking like a child that's being told off. Absolutely slumped into his chair looking like shit.
Just let us go and unite Ireland and yous can fuck off and do all the little Englander shit you want. Everyone's happy. Except Giggles and the DUP.
If they thought they could get away with it for a second it's exactly what the London government would love to do. Thankfully that's the only thing that's not an option.
A nation once again, a nation once again...
Come on, sing it with me.
As if Ireland really wants it. They've only been able to pretend to all these years because it wasn't happening.
Exactly. Neither wants it but both still have to pretend to.
