Whilst Nick’s argument on this is by turns funny, frustrating and depressing, it does illustrate the insanity gripping the liberal commentariat and the FPBErs quite nicely. We’re all in a nosediving plane together, and people are shouting “Surely there’s something we can do! CORBYN! DO SOMETHING” whilst locked in the cockpit the Tories are arguing with one another about the exact trajectory into the sea.

Aww thanks.

btw I never mentioned Corbyn once. I was asked what I’d do if I was labour leader. And then just went on generally how it’s a disaster and needs to be stopped and that I view it from a general national view rather than some party political view.

To take your metaphor, the planes crashing, the pilot could land safely but they’re all going, ‘but if we don’t crash and they survive they’ll never fly with us again!’

How many parachutes have we got?

Also, it’s worth pointing out that when the plane crashes that isn’t the end of the story, it’s just the beginning of Act 2 which involves the survivors turning to cannabalism while the sharks and vultures circle and pick over the remains and the ensuing oil slick lays waste to all but the hardiest of scavengers

True, but crashing also means the ones in the cockpit and 1st class will get a massive insurance payout, plus all the fish in the surrounding waters. Bit of pleb collateral damage is nae bother.

Literally every person with any control thinks that crashing is a good idea and are going ahead with it and your saying what you’d do as someone not on the plane watching

Nah, Davey would stand solidly behind that post by swanning off to have a better time on BullingdonOldBoys.com and leaving the rest of us too it.

Yet another reason not to crash.

#2619

This is where metaphors get unwieldy. I’m not flying it but I, like everyone else, am a passenger on the plane and will feel the effects of the crash.

Wouldn’t the closest metaphor be that the Tories are the flight crew, Labour are an off-duty crew who happen to be onboard and the rest of the passengers on board are the public, half of whom are bitterly arguing about what both flight crews should do and the other half couldn’t give a fuck and just want everyone else to shut up?

Soggy cheese and onion sandwiches.

And if you’re good and finish them all up (yes, including the crusts), you can have some spotted dick for afters.
