Brexit WTF, WTF

[Fiji Bitter]

No way I'm going to PA.

This was a top thread, now it's fucked.

Thank you fucking idiots.

Thank you fucking idiots.

Don't leave just because its in PA, frequent use of the ignore function is all that's required.

 

[dogwatch]

But then I'd be the kind of person who posts on PA. No, I'm out.

Here are four countermeasures we can take:

1. Start a thread on the J88 North American Championship  on PA.

2. Reply to every post by the Editor by telling him to take it to PA

3. Celebrate that Jack and Sea Warrior have found a private room in an asylum for the insane.

4. Just carry on the Brexit discussion here.........and that seems the best to me.

Conservative candidates' scripted answers to awkward questions leaked.

Interestingly the first question is polling ahead of Labour. Don't see one for polling behind Labour like that which has just suprisingly popped up in crucial seats of  Wales. Didn't expect it?

The shadow foreign secretary, Emily Thornberry, has written to the government with questions about Dominic Cummings’s connections to Russia and the levels of security vetting to which he has been subjected in Downing Street after an official-level whistleblower raised serious concerns.

Cummings, the divisive senior adviser to the prime minister, Boris Johnson, spent three years in Russia from 1994 to 1997 after he graduated from Oxford University with a first in ancient and modern history.

But Starmer has not jumped into Corbyn's shoes and Corbyn is fundamentally unelectable.

Boris's bet is that :-

1) Working class hard core leavers who have traditionally voted Labour will desert their party and vote for Conservative in this one election to "get Brexit done"

2) Conservative and Centrist remainers or even those who want "Brexit with a single market"  (the inappropriately named Soft Brexit) do not have a credible option. They will not be able to bring themselves to vote for a socialist Britain, with re-nationalization of industry and redistribution of wealth. Its the ABC ,,,,,,,,Anything But Corbyn. The "Anything" includes BJ's softer Brexit.

3) The Brexit party will not divide the Brexit vote because the Tories will campaign that they have an oven ready Brexit and voting for the Brexit party makes Brexit less likely.

This election is not about Brexit....because the remainers and the Brexit with single market do not have a major political option....which is why BJ favored an election over a referendum.

The Lib Dems may attract a protest vote from remainers who cannot bring themselves to vote for Tories or Labour, but in a 1st past the post system it is not clear this wil be enough to create a hung parliament.

In simple terms, BJ/DC strategy is that Leavers will vote Tory .  The reminer vote will be split ; Tory remainers will vote Lib/Dem and Labour Remainers will vote Labour

A lot will depend on how much bullshit the Tory voters will swallow in order to get their beloved Brexit.

Has anyone been around here long enough to remember what it was like before there was a PA? 

Don't be a snowflake.

Credit to Jack for posting some of these in the other thread. 
Use the ignore function and continue the thread over in PA

from Oxford University with a first in ancient and modern history.

It's Cambridge that has the Russian spies.

If he was on fire, they’d be a queue waiting to throw petrol on him.

Equal education and careers from both it appears.

Not a snowflake. But I have a life and life is too short to hang out on PA. Everybody needs a hobby and that's fine but posting on PA isn't about to become one of mine.

I could point out that the original thread was started by a very disgruntled ex-employee who didn't drop it here by accident.  Not sure how posting on a thread is hanging out but it sure makes you seem like a snowflake. NTTAWWT.  And from your ID you were here when the forum was a free for all.  It really sucked then.

Between BREXIT, the maladministration of Aussie Sailing, and the periodic outrages of Brisbane Protest hearings, there's barely enough time to cover on the water sailing.

It’s one thread, talk about making a stand for ridiculous reasons. 
 

Much like campaigning for Brexit because you want a blue passport!

Fixed your boat yet? You don’t have time for on the water sailing, or wasting time posting on forums.   :lol:
