They'll be hoping for excessive use of force at the border - preferably children or women hurt or killed so it can be broadcast around the world.

Of all the dumb posts and statements that appear in this thread, this takes the cake.

It may well be dumb, and may well take the cake, but post-2016 that’s how Dermocrats roll. Remember when they used Obama-era photos of children in cages to beat up on Trump (that deplorable meanie orange hair racist!!), yet said SFA when, as mentioned, it actually happened on their watch?

You mean they actually WANT children or women hurt or killed? That's how they roll? Because that was what @Crucial was criticising, not that they (or any other polly) can be duplicitous.

Clearly the lesser of two evils.

@siam Check out Cipriani's Red, utterly ridiculous

I agree, but listen to the comms and they're saying "only one outcome here".

Pivac has by all accounts gone on record saying it's all getting too soft in the tackle and I find myself agreeing with him.

@tim This to me just reads "Trump trying to divert media from Kashoggi - Saudi Arabia News"

Not according to the BBC

@jegga You know 99% of the time I think the term 'cultural appropriation' is absolute bs. This is not one of those times.

Ripped of the French and the Cherokees. Good skills.

@jc said in British Politics:

@rembrandt Why don’t these people think through what they are asking for? Or at least educate themselves a bit.

The exit is on the statute books. If there is no vo te FOR the terms of the deal what do they think will happen? Do they realise that what they would be voting for is Deal or No Deal, not Brexit or No Brexit. So the best they could achieve would be locking in the negotiators to not accepting the terms they’ve negotiated.

Unless of course they want to rerun the original one all over again. Like that won’t cause any social upheaval. But at least it would be “their kind” who are upset, not “our kind”.

Their argument amounts to “Waaaaaah”

And so we reap the fruits of an ill thought out and poorly campaigned referendum. It really has been a complete clusterfuck.

England's injury crisis is a bit disappointing. I wanted to have a full strength England and Ireland to determine where we're at outside of the Rugby Championship.

You can still smash them both though please

Typical Welshman, always trying to get someone else to do the work.

Well we won't have the chance to be fair

I wish I shared your certainty.

Good summation of the slow death of sanity in the UK.

Yep, he nails it.

Baron, I’ll be freaked out when people agree this is a good course of action.

The UK police need a better PR team.

You will be freaked out when people agree that this is a good course of action??
They already do.. the MSM, govt, police and army..... how many more do you need?
It is already more than enough, when a vocal and militant minority including govt, army police and MSM officials think it is a good course of action, and the vast majority just sleepwalk along with fatal banality. The time to freak out is when this shite is being enforced not when the majority agree with it. You think police states start with a majority wanting a police state? Seriously?
The UK populace needs to wake the fuck up. I lived in the UK for a long time, I wouldn't want to go there again, and I wouldn't see my kids going there and def not growing up there.

I think you are being chicken little.

I don’t agree with these things happening at all. But it seems unless I’m prepared to lose my shit over it, freak out and explode into a rage, then I’m just a sleepwalker who needs to wake the fuck up.

It’s a shame you won’t visit - you’d actually learn what the true population thinks, not just what was is presented by media - msm or independent.

What the true population think is irrelevant. Surely you realise that now?

Well, we’d be staying in the EU if that was the case.

True brexiteers would agree with you though.

Very poor example. Almost nothing gets put to a referendum. When is the true population going to put a stop to this bullshit?

A poor example as it goes against your rhetoric?

Read the daily mail article posted about poppies. The true population is not accepting this bullshit.

What? The point is that the true population rarely get to have their say and even then those in power will do their utmost to stop it from happening. Case in point: Brexit.

Not so sure about that RS. Referendums are rare but there are other ways that a wider voice can be demonstrated. Much of it is pretty lame, Facebook petitions and the like. But there is the option to place a petition to the government (Downing St I think) providing you have enough signatures. True this rarely amounts to much but likely due to the triviality of the petition. However the mechanism is there. Probably more powerful is when a mainstream newspaper gets a good grip on the zeitgeist and launches a campaign that is actually based on a groundswell feeling rather than something the editor has got sand in his panties over. In the UK over the years we’ve had loads of stupid stuff like the illustrations below and in truth it rarely gets anywhere. The difference now is the ability for the stupidity to spread which is much greater. To counter that though the ability to debunk such stupidity is also that much greater.

The Living Daylights (1987)

"Timothy Dalton" "TIMOTHY DALTON"? Who the fuck is this weasel-eyed cunt? This wooden wiener is about as suave as goddamn cock cancer. Compared to his illustrious predecessors, messrs Connery and Moore, he looks like he bought his clothes in the fucking supermarket.

"Timothy Dalton". May as well be Tomoko fucken Dildostein for all he's got to do with my Bond franchise. HowTF did he even pass the screen test? His dad must be the goddamn director.

Did the dishes. Read up on the footy. Basically stalled until this bland Where's Wally twat got OFF my telly.

I enjoyed this one. It was a bit 'dark'. Pretty certain a few people who knew Fleming said he said Dalton was his personal favourite Bond.

Necros was one of the coolest henchmen too, better than that homo Dario from LTK

Doubtful seeing as he died 23 years before The Living daylights was made.
