I guess we can call this Corbyn's Coup,it has a nice ring to it.


Jeremy Corbyn getting into number 10 without a general election and with the support of a Tory MP is about as game of thrones a plottwist as reality could possibly get.

Don't you know all the Tory cuts are actually going to the funding of a secret government project to create dragons?

Who needs facts when you can just invent them in your head, rattle them around pretending that skull of yours is some sort of magical psychic 8-ball and pretend they are "facts" in some pathetic attempt to score some internet points, right Platy old bean?

<shrugs> GL was wrong, you corrected them, GL was happy to be wrong, and Plat tried to invent some bullshit.

And what a thoroughly obnoxious shit this Vincent Fuller fellow is. I'm amazed it took 5 months to get all this settled.

What are facts, even? What is their purpose? The greatest gift bestowed upon us is the power of imagination. Let us think the impossible and make it become reality.
