October politics thread - counting down to doom in weeks and days

Really need this penoid card game tournament I’m watching today to kick off so I can start watching it and flush my phone down the toilet so I can’t spend the rest of the day watching the country publicly shit its pants in slow motion.

I’m on a nice trip to Glasgow. Never been before, how exciting! I should be just enjoying it and letting it distract me but I know myself and this has stressed the fuck out of me for months despite my best efforts so today will probably be no different. Gonna try drinking a big gin and see if that helps.

If “it” happens today, “it” still doesn’t happen.

Watching Joris’ speech and I’m already furious.

This is all awful enough as it is without the cheering and jeering.

What’s this “Joris” thing all about?

McGarnagle · 2019-10-19T08:56:52.335Z

I know that politicians have to talk about “bringing the country together and healing the rift” etc but there is no such thing. The damage has been done hasn’t it? I don’t think either side of the debate can ever forgive the other at this point.

What you got planned?

Some lad being interviewed on BBC news the other day said he agreed with Joris Bonson.

Letwin amendment will pass.
Will government withdraw the vote on the deal? Goodness knows. I’m going out for the day and avoiding the news.

There may be ways of healing this country, but exactly none of them involve a Brexit deal or lack thereof.

Need a good old fashioned civil war

If our resident grownup thinks this, it’s good enough for me!

Visit my sister, going to see Hot Chip this evening. Big breakfast tomorrow. Not sure what we’re doing in the daytimes, suppose my sister will show us around being a resident she knows what’s up.
