the tories could devastate half the country, put all our eggs in one basket then throw said basket off a cliff and people would still say "i'm voting tory because they're good with the economy :-DDD"

You mean like they're doing right now?

Well I'm just glad we may have the option to opt in to the EU citizenship. At least I'll have the option of leaving when we really start to fuck ourselves up. It's not a nice thought to entertain, I am very attached to my home but really obviously internationalism and perhaps rule of law it's self (looking at you Liz Truss and the Daily Mail) is not something that's in vogue anymore.

hmm

on one hand pensioners will be £105 a year worse off, which might gave them a wake up call. on the other, other groups are anywhere between £100 to £2000 worse off, so even when they're suffering they're still fucking winning.

For a cynical laugh:

"Philip Hammond’s commitment in this week’s Autumn Statement to spend £7.6m on restoring Wentworth Woodhouse, England’s largest private home, also had a little-known beneficiary: the house happens to be ancestral home of the mother-in-law of Jacob Rees-Mogg, the Conservative MP who is among the chancellor’s noisiest critics.

Mr Rees-Mogg said he had no involvement in the campaign to save Wentworth Woodhouse. But after hearing the Autumn Statement in which the funding was announced, he for once dropped his criticism of Mr Hammond and described his overall budget as “excellent”.

“I liked the fact that there was only one gimmick. The fact that the gimmick was Wentworth Woodhouse I liked more,” said the backbencher, one of whose children has Wentworth as a middle name."

good to see we have MPs and governments that are really in tune with our interests and the issues facing us today.

So in tune that they name their children Wentworth, in fact.

And struggle to figure out the price of bread.

Admittedly, when I first saw the name Wentworth, I thought of this fellow.

Seemed vaguely apt, given Rees-mogg is actually from that time-period.

I usually pay a quid for a sliced loaf. Depends where you buy it.

Around 40-50p if you buy the really cheap own-brand supermarket loaves.

"I’ll think it through, have a gut instinct, look at the evidence, work through the arguments, because you have to think through the unintended consequences.

remember when she doctored evidence she doesn't like? remember the home office long track record of doing the exact shit she claims she's against? yeah.

That's kinda my point. This week I've spent 50p on a loaf and £5.50 on a loaf. That shit varies.

£5.50 on a loaf of bread? Was it made of silver? Man, that's expensive.

I hate those loaves with seeds on. They fall off everywhere, taste like shit, and get stuck between your teeth. Pretty sure they are the idea of some idiot in marketing.

What's wrong with the perfectly ordinary white or brown loaf?

Exactly. Though wholemeal is always my choice.

And why are the slices in sliced bread so thin nowadays? I bet it is just so they can say something stupid about only so many calories a slice.

Perhaps I shouldn't post first thing in the morning, I am always grumpy first thing.

They add texture. I like them.

Really? I think they're quite delicious.

Looks like the next legal challenge is whether the government has the authority to unilaterally end EEA membership or if Parliament must decide that too.

Really is becoming more and more obvious that we didn't think this through.
