UK Politics Thread XI: Boris' Big Bombastic Brexit Bash

[Lower Nubia]

Fuck off.

Isn't this what you said?

No. An educated populace won’t fall for dumb policies in all camps.

[Nakena]

It is absolutely imperative that John McDonnell is the next Labour Leader.

Only a swing further left can save Labour now.

No. We need an educated population first.

Its more that they have been fed lies and delusions by politicians and the mainstream media. Can you really blame them?

Oh and by the way I consider myself of course to be very patrician.

[Purgatio]

Isn't that the guy who, after Grenfell, literally suggested that the State should just arbitrarily seize people's homes to house the survivors?

Yeah

Now that would be scary

[Salandriagado]

No. We need an educated population first.

Its more that they have been fed lies and delusions by politicians and the mainstream media. Can you really blame them?

Oh and by the way I consider myself of course to be very patrician.

More educated people are harder to feed lies to.

[Thanatttynia]

How likely is a no deal Brexit at this point?

I think less likely, funnily enough. A strong majority gives the govt room to manoeuvre and time to get a deal through without risking too much electorally speaking

[Nakena]

Alcohol. And a Labour government.

Fuck alcohol. I demand legal marijuana and free munchies.

The former tends to give the later.

[Definitely Not Trumptonium]

Its more that they have been fed lies and delusions by politicians and the mainstream media. Can you really blame them?

Oh and by the way I consider myself of course to be very patrician.

More educated people are harder to feed lies to.

Seen plenty of university professors squeal about NHS privatisation.

[Major-Tom]

Alcohol. And a Labour government.

Fuck alcohol. I demand legal marijuana and free munchies.

Drink up, bud.

[Hakons]

Isn't this what you said?

No. An educated populace won’t fall for dumb policies in all camps.

You, presumably, are educated? You know, unlike the dirty masses?

[Nakena]

Its more that they have been fed lies and delusions by politicians and the mainstream media. Can you really blame them?

Oh and by the way I consider myself of course to be very patrician.

More educated people are harder to feed lies to.

Education alone does not makes up for a lack of worldly wisdoms and common sense.

[Thanatttynia]

Its more that they have been fed lies and delusions by politicians and the mainstream media. Can you really blame them?

Oh and by the way I consider myself of course to be very patrician.

More educated people are harder to feed lies to.

I wish this was true

[Lower Nubia]

Oh and by the way I consider myself of course to be very patrician.

Lies which would of been ineffective is for 1 minute they could do some meaningful reflection.

[Novus America]

Sure they are not running it well, but that is different than selling it.

No, they're intentionally running it badly in order to destroy it.

Do not attribute to malice that which can be attributed to stupidity.
The thing is the Tories are genuinely weak on the NHS issue, but if you are not truthful about how they are bad, they can make everything you say look like a lie.

The whole boy who cried wolf.
There is an actual wolf, so you do not need to make up additional imaginary ones to make the real one seem more scary. Or say it is the size of an elephant when it is the size of well a wolf.

[Liriena]

Yeah

Now that would be scary

Not really? He was talking about empty homes. Pretty much homes that are only owned by rich assholes who don't need them and are just trying to speculate with the housing market.

How likely is a no deal Brexit at this point?

I think less likely, funnily enough. A strong majority gives the govt room to manoeuvre and time to get a deal through without risking too much electorally speaking

Yeah. It's what May wishes she'd gotten back in 2017. Plus, with a strong majority, they don't need to worry about pissing off any partners like the DUP. If the exit polls are right, they can just steamroll all over the Northern Irish problem.

[Shrillland]

Labour hold Sunderland West.

[Ifreann]

Class and Elegance are waiting back at his flat.

Paid for by the Leave Campaign.

With how late the night will go at CCHQ he'll have to check in with Michael Gove or it'll have been money wasted.

i see you have the funny.

As well be hanged for a sheep as a lamb. Worker control of Greggs. Redistribute the royal family.

This depends on the education. To my mind, an educated populace is one which understands logic as it must understand Maths and English, and is inoculated against gaslighting, projection, and any other fallacy used in deception.

[Liriena]

More educated people are harder to feed lies to.

I wish this was true

I think it's true with massive caveats. Because not all education is guaranteed to make you a better critical thinker, specially when it comes to politics. Specially not if the education is provided by institutions with a vested interest in not encouraging you to be too critical of the status quo.

Plus, all the education in the world won't necessarily make you immune to savvy marketing strategies with just the right message. I've seen a lot of otherwise smart and educated people get incredibly gullible and borderline stupid about politics.

[Shrillland]

Labour hold Newcastle North.

[The Two Jerseys]

As the man said, if the Tories really wanted to sell off the NHS they would've done it ages ago.

[Thanatttynia]

Jeremy Vine back at it again with the silly CGI. I say this every election but WHAT is the benefit of bizarre computer graphics... marginally better than the 'race to No.10 down the actual gravel on Downing Street' but what is wrong with a bloody swingometer or a simple graph on a simple background?

[Cerinda]

i'm gonna go to the shops, you guys want anything

A Labour government or some cyanide please.

I can't take 5 more years of the tories in power.

“COALITION OF CHAOS!”
