We live in Brexit Britain, truth left a long time ago. All that matters is which Tory can hate immigrants the loudest.
No yet we don’t and Remainers seem to be doing their best to give a two fingered salute to 52% of the electorate.
Supporters of a Labour Party wracked by misogyny and antisemitism, particularly if they are Remainers and also believe in race based immigration apartheid, are giving a whole new definition to hate based politics.
The current electorate backs Remain. It’s your lot that wants to ignore this fact.
It’s votes that counts not polls. Given the fact that MPs have practised nothing but Project Fear with the electorate for 2 years, I think the Leave vote has held up remarkably well.
It will make an appearance in a future PB thread header, fuckwangled has replaced schadenfreude as my favourite word in the English language.
Cheered me up a bit... Was expecting more than 5 though.
We were conserving energy for Thursday.
Wish me luck, I've got tickets and I have to pretend to be a Citeh supporter for the evening.
Worst of all I'm in the cheap seats.
With the plebs, i presume you will be showing in dettol afterwards!
Have a booked a delousing for straight after the match.
How are you going to pass as a City fan? First goal (or chance even) at either end will give you away.
Surely TSE will be spotted well before then...unless he is going to dig out the old tracksuit, shoulder man bag and fake burberry cap.
It is fake Gucci and Louis Vuitton these days in Manchester.
Which is galling when I have the genuine stuff.
The idea that snobbery is possible in the context of football is amusing.
It is, sort of, in Glasgow. Partick Thistle fans are popularly portrayed as craft beer drinking, Camus reading hipsters, existentially inured to sporting failure.
Sounds as though they are not really interested in football, so I guess it’s possible. (And I’m pretty sure the goalkeeping thing was just an ironic pose for Camus, too...)
Not really. Old Albert genuinely was a promising goalie. His career was ended by TB in his teens, but he already kept goal for his University, one of the best teams in Algeria.

I voted to leave, so I'm not really a remainer.
But leavers have shown themselves to be, by and large, racist imbeciles to a man. So, yeah, happy to give you the finger. Y'all can swivel on it too, if you want.
So you exclude yourself from your own definition of “racist imbecile”. How convenient !!
I have an immigrant son in law. We both voted Leave, Dint really worry to much about ignorant people who don’t me calling me racist or xenophobic. Doesn’t make it true but says a lot about them.

Good thing we do everything based on opinion polls.
Blame Cameron for submitting the question to a big opinion poll.
Yes, an advisory referendum is the same thing as suggesting that because opinion polls say X we must do X, that's why every government must change after a couple of years. Even you cannot believe that. There are several reasons for a referendum, that polls point to remain now is actually not one of them, in fact highlighting that shows that your goal is never and has never involved caring what the people want, only caring if you think the result will be as you want it to be.
It is incredibly transparent and unworthy of the people making the argument.

As an existentialist/absurdist, he took irony to fairly extreme levels.

Article 50 was bound to end up in a choice between ratification of a deal, leaving with no deal, or revocation. Whether it makes sense to submit that choice to a further referendum does depend largely on whether opinion appears to be settled or not, and whether their is clear parliamentary support for any one option, so I reject that accusation.
They've given a ferry contract to a company with no ships.
The CEO declined to give details on which ships it planned to use for the service, saying the information was commercially sensitive, but said they planned to start operations with two ships.

Researching further he was keeper for Racing Universiaire Algerios youth team. Retired due to illness in1930. His old side became North African Champions in 1935. No idea of the standard in International terms, but I reckon that counts as at least half decent.
I've been in Boston, MA for a couple of weeks and haven't heard anyone swearing in the street so far. Makes a nice change from England.
The evolving culture of swearing is interesting, though, isn't it? Britain is unusual in having lots of sexual swearwords - swearing in German or Danish (the languages I know best) is traditionally about non-sexual bodily functions, and shouting "fuck!" in Danish just sounds odd, like shouting "eat!" or "sneeze!". That said, international culture is doing its thing in that field too, so it's quite common for Germans to say the English word "fucked" as an angry adjective - there isn't a German equivalent ("gefickt", I suppose, but I've never heard it used).
When The Killing was broadcast in Britain, the subtitler deliberately inserted lots of swearing that isn't in the original, as he said that a British audience wouldn't find it credible if tough police officers went around saying "Bother!" and "Damn!" That seems a pity, and anyway as a part-time professional translator I disagree - I think one should represent the original, and let the viewer decide what to make of it - otherwise everything gets splurged into a sort of linguistic no man's land.

Mandarin Chinese has no real swear words. Stupid egg is about the most profane. Taiwanese has a vast range of interesting and explicit sexual suggestions to use instead. Needless to say, this was the only Taiwanese I ever learned or needed to use. Interestingly, Chinese used swear words very inappropriately in English conversation. They could never quite get it right, no matter how good their general English. My advice was never to use. Also, foreigners would invent and use Mandarin equivalents...gan ni gan tou...f you f head.

It really is, when I spend £700 on a pair of trainers and there's some chav boasting he's picked up the same trainers (but fake) for £90 in Rusholme I'm tempted to called in the Rozzers.

English has nothing on Russian when it comes to sexual swearwords.

I remember Patten being labelled 'a lame duck and the triple violator rampant', and a number of variations on whore, while Governor of Hong Kong, so the Chinese cannot be exactly innocent of sexual insults.

Indeed. But they are rather more flowery as per your example. Not exactly what you would scream in existential rage at an errant driver. Interesting is "xiaojie." Literally little big sister. In Taiwan, what you would refer to as "Miss". Used politely for waitresses, shop workers or any young female of uncertain marital status. Mademoiselle in French if you will. Entirely the normal way to refer to a young lady. Since the PRC, it has come to mean prostitute on the mainland, as a class based term. Needless to say, my first visit to a Mainland restaurant did not go well.

This was far more interesting to discover this twitter account. Whoever is behind it is, is doing a proper number of Corbynistas via their own words and actions.
This is the encouraging thing about Brexit and Trump, instead of the EU unravelling or the whole world sinking into 1930s-style protectionism everyone's just routed around the damaged countries and carried on. And the US-free CPTPP is a much better treaty than the original TPP, because they took out the stuff the American wanted about expanding statutory monopolies.

Young left-wing bourgeois revolutionary wannabes become old wealthy bourgeois reactionaries. None of those fuckers can boil an egg, put a hammer to a nail or carry a vase across a room.

Yup, seems about right.
We're going to pay a heavy price for pretending that our politicians knew what they were doing.
