Putting aside the fact that I was commenting on the absurdity of the BBC’s analysis for a minute, it actually does baffle me that after everything else Leave is up so far in the English EU election polling.

A brilliant watch. Behind the scenes on the EU side. The Brits truly outclassed and rudderless

From June 2017 until January 2019, filmmaker Alain de Halleux was granted exclusive access to Michel Barnier, the European Union’s chief Brexit negotiator. Month after gruelling month, de Halleux gets behind the scenes of the tense, frustrating and long negotiations between the EU and the UK including interviews with important public figures (Donald Tusk, Tony Blair, Yanis Varoufakis) as well as ordinary British citizens. What next for Brexit as the clock carries on ticking?

Funny how the Tories suffered a once-in-a-generation loss this week, including 1,200 seats and control of 44 councils, and half of the articles I can find about it frame it as “Tories and Labour get punished by voters.”

Labour should have done better, sure. But...I mean, 70 seat losses compared to 1,200?!

It’s beyond bizarre how labour have managed to screw up taking advantage of all this. The biggest open goal ever and for three years now.

As to how it’s being spun, it’s on show right there how The British media is complicit in this shit show. Completely biased rather than any journalistic integrity or objectivity.

Serious questions should be asked after all this. But they won’t be.

Labour seems, from a distance, to have the same problem Joe Biden has: too much ‘old white man’ sympathy for the “anti-globalist” schtick, and far too reliant on perceived past glories. It’s a very conservative type of liberalism, and a terribly naive approach to the start of an era which will be more perilous and difficult than they’re ready to admit.

The insane part is tories have had their biggest defeat ever. By orders of magnitude.
And May is safe as Houses purely for the fact that nobody wants to take the job and deal with the final stage and disaster afterwards.

We have an expression here, ‘hurling from the ditch’. Same thing as armchair quarterback I think.

They’re all happy to sit on the sides and snipe at her but nobody wants to step up.

Even or especially the opposition.

There’s attemtping to reframe the issue and shift the blame. Then there’s this.
Just about every word in this shit piece is wrong. ‘Ancient conflict’??? Fuck all the way off.
This is imperial English exceptionalism at its very worst.
Somehow Ireland’s to blame for destabilising the British state. Ehhh no you fuckos Brexit is your own disaster.

Hooray for fat bastard. (I do not condone this behaviour)

Paul Crowther, who was dragged away and handcuffed, said: “It’s a right of protest against people like him.” Standing in handcuffs outside a Waterstones bookshop in Newcastle city centre, Crowther said he did not regret his actions.

He told reporters it was a banana and salted caramel milkshake bought from Five Guys. “I was quite looking forward to it, but I think it went on a better purpose,” he said.

How dairy throw a milshake at him?
I hope they go easy on the thrower. A frappe on the knuckles



Seriously though this has been cleverly timed to distract from the investigation just opened into the illegal donations pouring into farages campaign.
That’s the real story and it’s been hijacked by a milkshake
