Oh I know. I’ve had interactions with them in the past.

They claim a high and mighty position but then they devolve into that kind of thing, which does rather poison the well.

So just to clarify, what are they complaining about?

They seem to be trying to be intellectual, while at the same time complaining that people challenge their beliefs.

These people are just as bad as the MEGA lot. They just do not understand that most people just want to be moderate, not extreme left or right. Been that obsessed with an ideology must be tiring, I honestly couldn’t be bothered.

The idiot fascist wing of the Torie party is starting to manifest itself.

Seriously they have people in their own political party who are major threats to their own continuing government. Only an idiot would tolerate this, fortunately everyone involved in this story is an idiot.

With luck the Tories will render themselves politically irrelevant.

It’s like watching Darth Vader cut his head off with his own lightsaber. You have to wonder what the hell they’re doing, but at the same time, you’re glad they’re doing it.

Given that labour are apparently already responsible for pretty much everything, we may as well have them in government, it seems more efficient.

It’s the ultimate form of democracy, everyone gets to be prime minister for a while.

Qualifications, or indeed basic skills, are not required.

He was actually at university the same time as me. He never guessed my girlfriend, I’m offended.

I don’t think you know what “culture” means. It’s not just stuff that people did in the past, it’s what traditions are based around.

How do you think Iceland traditionally got food? They’re not exactly surrounded by arable land are they?

Yes this they used to use wheel spinal fluid as a base for perfumes. Because of course they did.

I think that practise was banned years ago mostly because it isn’t remotely sustainable.

Iceland has this weird thing about wailing. You see all these whaling ships right alongside whale tour boats. It’s like they sort of get it but can’t quite get over the culture of whale hunting.

Which in fairness is part of their culture but they have a Costco there now as well so…

Yeah because if you only pass on an automatic that’s the only type of car you can buy.

Why limit your market? Especially if you’re buying cheap secondhand cars.
