EU/Brexit Discussion Thread II
Unfortunately it's hidden behind the Telegraph paywall. Could you summarise?

The Tory lies and deceit thread
While it is more plausible, it should be noted that he's still only 28 now.

Are you actually a bot?

ANOTHER Boris Johnson Gaffe
I think Boris subscribes to the notion that it's not a cock-up if it ends up as a newspaper headline.

Is it not the same with most jobs?

General Racist Thread
It's a thread for the party that was set up to campaign for leaving the EU..?

What on earth does that have to do with the EU?

There would be multiple MPs representing each area though, and you could have smaller constituencies with fewer MPs in more rural areas.

General Racist Thread
The SNP being a good example of a party whose raison d'etre is separatism from something, but manage fairly well not to be racist.

One of the many reasons I support STV is that it might stop minor parties from whining.

Or if the Greens hadn't stood in Hallam in 2015, incidentally.

At that point you might have considered that it wasn't really worth the obsession with leaving the EU.

The Official Labour Foot-Shoot Thread, Mk II
I'd like it to be something different, but it's not like it wasn't equally confusing and muddled before the general election.

General Racist Thread
It's a UKIP discussion thread though. Those parties have their own discussion threads, where you can discuss anyone who's racist and a member of that party.

That's because you were, and are, unbearably annoying.

You're quite right. Fixed that now.

Politician Of The Year 2017
Yes, I wouldn't have said it otherwise.

Politician Of The Year 2017
Yup, this has turned into a car crash already. Corbyn is the obvious candidate as no one really saw the 2017 election result coming, and he deserves credit for confounding expectations having been pretty dire for about 18 months after he first became leader. Of course Theresa May would probably be an equally good contender, as it was her general uselessness as much as Labour's great campaign that made the result happen (and obviously she called the result in the first place). Doug Jones is the new Democratic Senator for Alabama. He deserves a mention just because of how improbable the last sentence would have seemed for most of 2017, or indeed most of the last 30 years.

Merged with the general UKIP thread so we don't have to look at that ridiculous topic name.

EU/Brexit Discussion Thread II
I find it highly unlikely that even the Mail would have printed a front cover featuring three appointed judges and branded them "ENEMIES OF THE PEOPLE" even ten years ago. The toxic atmosphere around the immigration debate and Brexit has emboldened them. Of course if you can find a front cover from ten years ago that was just as extremist, feel free.

EU/Brexit Discussion Thread II
Find me a meaningful example of a far left publication inciting hatred with the same effects that the right wing press did in the final days of the referendum campaign and you may have a point. Otherwise it's irrelevant, and a way to let some increasingly extremist newspapers off the hook.

EU/Brexit Discussion Thread II
Last time I checked there wasn't a far left newspaper with a massive circulation using that kind of language, and an individual with far left views hadn't recently gunned down an MP in the street.

Go on.

I mean... it became a bit niche after 1945.
