I was assured that Britain would sink into the ocean upon Brexit becoming reality.

Sinn Fein have upended everything.

This is going to be a crazy week and unless the utterly useless FG/FF can sort out a coalition (again but in reverse and FF in power) we’ll have to have another election.

I say Fucking bring it. Sinn Feins best result in the history of the state. That’s how pissed off and motivated by it people are. Especially young people.

If there's another election will SF field more candidates?

Yep. They would have cleaned up by a vast distance in loads of constituencies.

Both FG/FF swore only this past week they’d never go into coalition with SF. Now? They’re being hung drawn and quartered on their own words.

This is Fucking fascinating. Let’s see how it shakes out. I’m hoping for a second election

I really don't know why FG and FF don't merge. I really don't mean that as an insult, I can see difference between the likes of the Tories, UKIP, Lib Dems even though I can't stand any of them and they're basically all Tories but for Brexit and Electoral Reform.
So basically, Johnson and May spent Trump's presidency fighting each other over how best to sell the NHS to Trump.

Some good news. Nigel Farage has been sacked by LBC radio with immediate effect.
It’s a mystery why he was ever given a platform to spew the endless racist bile but he’s finally been given the boot. His comments on black lives matter were a bridge too far. It’s sad that that’s what it took after everything that came before but it’s about time.

This isn’t parody. Watch the video within the article. It’s farce but not parody.

If he’s joking you’re the only one that got it. It’s set heads spinning in the uk.
He’s also spending £1 million on painting the government jet with a Union Jack.
The same week he had be embarrassed into A upturn on Funding dinners for school kids As many depend on that as their only meal of the day

I would be surprised if I was the only one that got it, as it was so obvious. It's not ironic or saracastic, it's just supposed to be lightly amusing in the middle of serious politics. If he makes a deal with the EU in the future, I'm sure he'll hold up some Camembert or Italian Pasta.

Here’s the serious part.
Uk Outgoing trade with Ireland alone is five times That of It’s trade with Australia.
Johnson is banging the Australia drum as proof how amazing Brexit is going to be
They haven’t even gotten a trade deal with Australia, the benefit is negligible with Australia and New Zealand both even when the deals are some. Which will take years.
Mean time the US is sharpening its knives to allow corporate entities come in and take over everything in the uk.

They’re fucked.
