SARS is servere acute respiratory syndrome, not sudden. Don't ask me how I know that, because I haven't a clue. I googled it to check and was actually surprised to be correct. | |

Frontrunner to take over from the Unkempt One as Prime Minister is Liz Truss. Remember the "power pose"? This is the "getting ready to take a powerful dump" pose. | |

Of course I ignore your Boris garden party outrage. I don't give a toss. I couldn't give a toss if Keir had a party either. While Boris was busy having drinks in his garden, I was breaking lockdown to get weed. So that's why I'm not losing my shit over this. | |

The thing is, the nebulous concept of sovereignty is YOUR argument. There's plenty of other reasons people voted for Brexit, not least of which were economic. If they weren't voting for economic reasons, then economic arguments wouldn't have been pitched to them, such as the promise of cheaper food prices, cheaper energy prices, better trade deals, more fishing, more manufacturing, etc.. One can only assume some of the people set to directly benefit from these (had they been true) were fooled into voting for Brexit thinking it was going to make their lives better. | |

A year ago I would have agreed. I'd have thought Johnson would be out by now, before all the parties even became public knowledge. They'd put in Sunak and he'd win a smaller majority or a minority against Starmer in '23 or '24. | |

Ong, since you're so concerned with sovereignty, how do you feel about the anti-protest bill the Tories are pushing through now? Is it only the country's sovereign rights you're concerned with, and not your right to democratic protest? | |

I don't think you're a Tory voter, I think you're a right-winger who draws a penis on a ballot. So I was just wondering how far you were happy to go down the fascist road. I mean nationalism is the main ingredient of fascism, so it was a legitimate question. | |

I'm more right wing than left wing, that's for sure. But I do hold some left wing views. It's not really all that binary. | |

A quick google search for "nationalism" returns these three definitions... | |
| |
01-18-2022 07:50 AM
#1994

Because for the people who voted for Brexit and/or support the Brexit party or Tory party, this is the most apt definition. If it were the "globalist lefties" who wanted to abolish human rights, ban immigration, leave the EU, and drown refugees, I'd say they were the nationalist/fascists. | |

We can argue about how many flagshaggers there are in the UK all day. I'll give you a fun fact though; the single best correlate of Brexit voting is age. IOW, the older you are the more likely you were to vote for Brexit (also the more likely you are have a flag in your garden, but never mind). | |

I suppose it's for the same reason as everywhere else in the world: that politics is stupidly complicated and full of liars and charlatans and dealing with that nonsense seems like a lost cause to a young person. Whereas an older person has seen that by not being involved in politics, you give up your fraction of control to (gag) other people. | |

I'm curious if poop refers to everyone around the world who flies their country's flag a "flag shagger". I mean, I don't see all that many Union Jacks or St George's Cross flags in the UK, apart from when England play in major football tournaments. People are much more likely to fly the Scottish flag in Scotland, the American flag in USA, the Canadian flag in Canada, it's common around the world from what I can tell. Less common in England though compared to many other places. | |

That would be a great analysis if you actually need to have a flag in your garden in order to be a flagshagger. You know they don't all literally have sex with their country's flag, right? | |

In other news, strong indications that a vote of no confidence in Johnson may come as soon as tomorrow. After a long string of revelations of him and his staff holding booze-ups during the 2020-21 lockdowns over the past few weeks, a bunch of more and more ridiculous denials and evasions, it looks like this interview may have just finished him off. | |

In the space of a few weeks, he's gone from denying there were any parties, to denying he knew about the parties, to admitting he was at at least one of the parties while claiming he didn't realise it was a party, to now claiming he didn't know parties were against the rules he himself had brought in. | |

Nice theory. I'll stick with mine, based on actually talking to people about it, which is that the EEC evolved into something that they didn't like and didn't vote for. | |

You're drawing conclusions from, apparently, talking to nobody, and simply running with your wild imagination, so I reckon my theory has more legs than yours. | |

The point here is that I don't claim my theory is valid because I've sampled a miniscule proportion of the population. In fact, I don't claim it's valid at all. I just claim it's a theory. You, on the other hand, cite your sample as the basis of your theory, as if the few people you've spoken to in your little corner of the woods is somehow representative of the entire population of the UK. | |

Your "theory" is apparently based on your imagination, this crazy idea that there are a large number of people in the UK who want to create a fascist state, that being a Tory voter means wanting migrants to drown, that being a Brexiteer means being a flagshagger. | |
| |
01-19-2022 02:03 PM

Well if the fact that you talked to a few different people wasn't said as a means to support your theory, then there's no reason to mention it in the same breath. The only other explanation is your mind is mush and you can't keep on a topic for more than one sentence at a time. Is that how you prefer me to interpret your words? | |
