Maybe she’s an emergency warehouse and we can stockpile in her?

‘We’re heading towards something that could turn the streets into a war zone - do you not think we should change course?’

‘No, no. Just make sure our lizard overlord is kept safe’

Very, very normal country.

What people from outside the UK can see that too many inside cannot is how the case for Leaving has become little more than xenophobia and nationalism.

What we have that foreigners do not is a public discourse shaped by a handful of newspaper proprietors who just happen to be intensely hostile to the EU. Partly through intimidation by that same press and their political allies, the BBC follows this discourse.

Fucking hell, this reads like someone who just thought his opinions were important and needed to be heard despite knowing fuck all about the subject at hand. In fact, is that everyone? Is this me?

Simon Wren-Lewis though, innit? He’s quite a fair way removed from the kind of line that the New Statesman usually takes.

He’s written well on what he calls ‘mediamacro’ economics. It’s worth digging out some of his blog posts on that.

Gary Younge has always been the best thing about The Guardian, that was obvious even when I was a huge fanboy of theirs in the past.

His articles seem to appear more frequently in the New Statesman than anywhere else. It’s not as if the NS has “a line” that is pumped out throughout the magazine every week.

bored on the train and currently winding up james ball and oz katerji on twitter. oz keeps unblocking me to call me a racist stalinist assadist and then blocking me again. only tangentially related to brexit but i thought you should all know.
