Posting here as didn't want to derail the British politics thread.

What in the actual fuck is going on in the UK??

Madness. But then it is Brighton, which explains much.

I'm just amazed people completely ignore the science around biological sex, gender, masculine/feminine traits and sexuality. It's really not very hard to get your head around. And in this case vulnerable children are the targets which is pretty sick really.

Those same people also tend to love yelling "science denier" at anyone that questions climate change as well.

Yep, it's when their agenda trumps your facts. It's like playing chess with a pigeon, you will be making the smarter plays but in the end the pigeon will strut across the board, triumphantly knocking over the pieces and shitting all over the place.

@rembrandt They ca be brutal all right. You should take a look at the "Paris Massacre" of 1961 as an example. Acknowledged 40 deaths but estimates got up to 3-400 including drownings where protestors had been thrown into the Seine.

Fuck demonstrating in Paris.

@mikethesnow fuck yes I have been meaning to put her up

Think of the amusement we could have re-arranging that sentence.

@canefan said in Alternative needed from the absolute crap of stuff.co.nz:

That sentence is just taking the piss. She clearly shows no remorse and her mum is an enabler

Home detention? Seriously/ WTF.

@taniwharugby body is alright, and from all appearances she is a bit of an athlete. But that head...

She's a prawn. The body is delicicous but you just want to rip the head off and throw it away.

Wrong thread?

Interesting speech made in the Bundestag. In German but with subtitles. Best part is the look on Merkel's face. She looks like she's eating vinegar off a fork the whole time.

Often with such complicated issues it is good to break them down into a more understandable format. So here we have Brexit - the omelette problem.

LEAVER: I want an omelette.

REMAINER: Right. It’s just we haven’t got any eggs.

LEAVER: Yes, we have. There they are. [HE POINTS AT A CAKE]

REMAINER: They’re in the cake.

LEAVER: Yes, get them out of the cake, please.

REMAINER: But we voted in 1974 to put them into a cake.

LEAVER: Yes, but that cake has got icing on it. Nobody said there was going to be icing on it.

REMAINER: Icing is good.

LEAVER: And there are raisins in it. I don’t like raisins. Nobody mentioned raisins. I demand another vote.

DAVID CAMERON ENTERS.

DAVID CAMERON: OK.

DAVID CAMERON SCARPERS.

LEAVER: Right, where’s my omelette?

REMAINER: I told you, the eggs are in the cake.

LEAVER: Well, get them out.

EU: It’s our cake.

JEREMY CORBYN: Yes, get them out now.

REMAINER: I have absolutely no idea how to get them out. Don’t you know how to get them out?

LEAVER: Yes! You just get them out and then you make an omelette.

REMAINER: But how?! Didn’t you give this any thought?

LEAVER: Saboteur! You’re talking eggs down. We could make omelettes before the eggs went into the cake, so there’s no reason why we can’t make them now.

THERESA MAY: It’s OK, I can do it.

REMAINER: How?

THERESA MAY: There was a vote to remove the eggs from the cake, and so the eggs will be removed from the cake.

REMAINER: Yeah, but…

LEAVER: Hang on, if we take the eggs out of the cake, does that mean we don’t have any cake? I didn’t say I didn’t want the cake, just the bits I don’t like.

EU: It’s our cake.

REMAINER: But you can’t take the eggs out of the cake and then still have a cake.

LEAVER: You can. I saw the latest Bake Off and you can definitely make cakes without eggs in them. It’s just that they’re horrible.

REMAINER: Fine. Take the eggs out. See what happens.

LEAVER: It’s not my responsibility to take the eggs out. Get on with it.

REMAINER: Why should I have to come up with some long-winded incredibly difficult chemical process to extract eggs that have bonded at the molecular level to the cake, while somehow still having the cake?

LEAVER: You lost, get over it.

THERESA MAY: By the way, I’ve started the clock on this.

REMAINER: So I assume you have a plan?

THERESA MAY: Actually, back in a bit. Just having another election.

REMAINER: Jeremy, are you going to sort this out?

JEREMY CORBYN: Yes. No. Maybe.

EU: It’s our cake.

LEAVER: Where’s my omelette? I voted for an omelette.

REMAINER: This is ridiculous. This is never going to work. We should have another vote, or at least stop what we’re doing until we know how to get the eggs out of the cake while keeping the bits of the cake that we all like.

LEAVER/MAY/CORBYN: WE HAD A VOTE. STOP SABOTAGING THE WILL OF THE PEOPLE. EGGSIT MEANS EGGSIT.

REMAINER: Fine, I’m moving to France. The cakes are nicer there.

LEAVER: You can’t. We’ve taken your freedom of movement.

@taniwharugby said in TV Serieseseses:

finished S3 of The Last Kingdom.

not quite as good as other seasons, seemed to jump about a bit more with the different storie lines and then the pig headedness of Alfred & Uhtred was frustrating.

Still really liked it though.

Thought the character Skade was sexy AF in this too.

This series went a long way away from the books which might have had some impact on the lack of continuity.
