Does this mean you could go to the Winchester, have a nice cold pint and wait for Brexit to blow over?
It takes a surprising amount of energy to launch someone into the Sun. Jupiter would be just as effective, and much easier to achieve.
The fascists really don’t get that “tolerance and diversity” only applies when you give that tolerance and diversity to everyone else. Like, they seriously don’t.
The Liberal Democrats have gained control of Vale of White Horse council from the Conservatives! South Oxfordshire is now NOC and the Lib-Dems have taken over as largest party, although I expect a Tory/Lib-Dem coalition there.
Rural Oxfordshire is remainer Tory country so for them to lose this big means that they have fucked up big time.
May’s a survivor. She always manages to pull through.
Party rules always make sure the people at the top are allowed to do the maximum damage they can with no consequences. When that damage includes the party itself, the party lacks any defense.
… That’s a stupid idea. I mean, calling for it is a good idea, but only if she won’t actually do it.
Right now, May owns the mess that is Brexit. No other Tory is going to do a better job with it, because it’s a CF no matter whose lap it’s dumped in.
If they manage to finalize Brexit with May still at the helm to whatever SNAFU they choose as the final outcome, then they can ditch May and minimize the culpability of the party as a whole. So, calling for her resignation is good, because it’s a head start on that distancing, but if she actually does so, then you’ve dumped this into the lap of someone else who will need to be the scapegoat.
And if three different Tory PMs (Johnson, May, and May’s successor) manage to screw it up, that makes it look like it’s a problem with the party itself rather than its chosen leaders, which is exactly the impression I think they’d want to avoid.
Br-Exit is apparently still a thing.
The passion seems to be gone.
Not sure how much of this really matters
A brilliant new strategy, sir.
