Ah, yes. I actually got told to go back where I'd come from by one of these... You know something is about to end when you find yourself receiving xenophobic slur in the street
in Cambridge.

This. Very much this.

Yeah, I used to like being able to pop over to London for a spot of culture, or just to soak in the ambience and to remind myself of how much I enjoyed living there during my student days... Alas, no more. What London reminds me of now is that as a scientist, I shall never be able to afford living there (no, the outskirts which actually take longer to reach from the city centre by public transportation than it takes to take a train from Cambridge to Kings Cross, do not count).

Oh, and snow. I miss that.
Same here... Even though I had nowhere as much of it as you would have.

Hmm, maybe the racist assholes are right, maybe I should go back to where I came from. Except my home is here now, and my family.
Oh, stop whining and grow a pair!
...I'm sorry, has my inner Piers Morgan shown?

Yob: Go back where ya' came from, ya' brown bastard!
B.B.: Wot? Liverpool? It's a fookin' shit-hole, Mate!
So elections in December. Yay. Boris' sneaky exit averted.

Well, maybe this new season they finally manage to wrap it up. After the prorogation arc there's been nothing but filler episodes.

Do you guys think Lib Dems will keep their word and revoke Brexit if they win?
Do you think they will win? They seem to be third in the latest opinion polls. (

On one hand, I have to ask "can we have a shittier, worse prime minister than Mr NoPantsFluffyMop", but on the other, I don't think I really want the answer to that. We could actually do worse. We could have Mr NoChinPintInHandHypocriteBastard. :shudder:
All I can do is urge all the voters to do their homework before they yet again vote directly against their own interest. People, please don't be fucking morons yet again. Brexit is a big fat lie. If you're not already rich, you WILL get poorer. Roughly by 9.6%. Says the tory predictive report they prefer to not discuss in public.
The lying cheating bastard politicians annoy the hell out of me, but that is their job. What's much much worse are the morons who believe them. Stop doing that. Either do your homework, or DON'T VOTE, you idiot.

NV's Cynical Theory of Politics:
In any election, the worst possible candidate is the most likely to get in, with their chances of being elected increasing the worse they are.

I'm a bitter cynical bastard, but yet, I somehow disagree.
I believe a democratic country elects the leader it deserves. Their choice will largely determine the outcome. Morons will elect someone who can manipulate morons. Clever people will elect someone who's actually quite good. You get what you deserve. The trouble is, I'm now living in a country where a large part of the electorate are, to put it as bluntly as I can, fucking morons. This is where my cynicism kicks back in. I do not have high hopes, because I do not trust people to realise just how terrible Boris and Brexit truly are.

I think (
https://www.reuters.com/article/us-britain-election-blair/britain-is-a-dangerous-mess-former-pm-blair-says-idUSKBN1XZ0WT) Tony Blair largely agrees with you.
Quote:
Former prime minister Tony Blair said on Monday that Britain was in a dangerous mess and that neither his own Labour Party nor Prime Minister Boris Johnson’s Conservatives deserved to win a Dec. 12 election . . .
“We’re a mess,” Blair said at a Reuters Newsmaker event. “The buoyancy of the world economy has kept us going up to now, but should that falter, we will be in deep trouble.”
Blair, Labour prime minister from 1997 to 2007, said both major parties were peddling fantasies, adding that if the opinion polls were accurate, Johnson’s party looked likely to win a majority.
Apart from being stitched up by the Tories in 1988 when I actually had some money, I can't say that I've ever really noticed any difference in my personal circumstances, regardless of who is in power.
Where I live now, I basically have a choice between Lib Dems and Plaid Cymru. There were about 100 votes between them last election - Plaid Cymru booted out the Lib Dem. Everyone else was in the 100s rather than the 1000s so anyone else I voted for would truly be a wasted vote. Both parties are anti-Brexit (last time I looked) which suits me. I don't know what I'm going to do yet.
