UK Politics Thread XI: Boris' Big Bombastic Brexit Bash

[The New California Republic]

Also no-one told the Conservatives that using Comic Sans for official things just makes you look childish.

But that's kind of par for the course given how petulant and infantile this government has been.

Some of the replies are golden.

Wingdings would have been more accurate.

FYI comic sans is the preferred text for dyslexic and the visually impaired as it makes it easier to read. The stigma against it needs to end. Some Children probably also choose it for this reason tbh.

Actually the Dyslexie font is. It adds extra weight to the undersides of letters to help stop the brain from flipping the letters.

Specifically designing a font for it obviously beats fonts not designed for that purpose. You'll note comic sans trounced fonts not designed for the purposes of being legible to those with dyslexia. That said, if the purpose of switching to comic sans is inclusivity then you've made your point that the specifically designed font is a better choice.

Your own source claims the winners are (In order) Dyslexia, Open Dyslexie, and Comic Sans

Somehow I doubt the Conservatives are trying to appeal to dyslexic readers here.

Literally golden in that instance.

Worse than that. The reason for comic sans having this reputation is an aggressive lobbying and marketing campaign by graphic design firms butthurt that during the 90s everyone just defaulted to it and that was okay, thus eating their profits. You tasteless hacks you need to hire us to tell you what font is appropriats, not just settle on one!!! So ... It's kind of like if the Tories opened up a post with arise ye workers or something. Poor taste for a slain enemy.

It was the Jeremy Corbyn of typeface.

'Pick-up artist' Adnan Ahmed jailed for two years for threatening behaviour

Good. Treating women like toys and general abusive behaviour like that is not something society should tolerate.

MPs have backed Boris Johnson's Brexit bill through its first Commons stage.

A total of 329 MPs voted for the bill - which would lead to Brexit becoming law - but they are yet to agree to push it through the Commons in three days.

[Thermodolia]

Fucking lol.

So they agreed to Brexit but couldn’t agree about the timetable.

So what happens now? Does BoJo, and can he, pull the deal from parliament?

[Vassenor]

The bill passed its second reading but the commons rejected the government's attempt to fast track the rest of the process.

[Vassenor]

Fucking lol.

Johnson 'pauses' Brexit legislation
Boris Johnson has confirmed he will set aside the bill that would implement his deal, despite the fact the Commons has just backed it, after his proposal to fast-track it through parliament was rejected by MPs.

He says he does not want a delay and will continue to discuss with EU27 leaders until they decide whether or not to grant one.

[The New California Republic]

He is putting it on hold supposedly, and might go through the election route instead.

[Heloin]

Fucking lol.

What? What?!

Can he do that?

[Vassenor]

Fucked if I know but he thinks he can.

Yeah BoJo just got shafted. Again.

[Philjia]

Boris is likely to push for an election now, not sure if Corbyn will go for it though.
