    Barboza vs. Gaethje in a battle of the paralysing leg kicks match should be good fun tomorrow night.

    Happy (would have been) Brexit Day, everybody!

    European Union Referendum

    Because something like "Entitled Pricks and Bad Losers Who Only Honour Democracy When It Honours Them (and therefore don’t honour it at all) Vote", doesn’t quite have the same ring to it.

    He means remainers' deal in the sense that it was negotiated by politicians and civil servants who would have rather not done it at all, because they think Brexit is a terrible idea. Some people might wade further into conspiratorial waters and argue that such an obviously shit deal is exactly...

    European Union Referendum

    The anecdotal evidence (i.e. my everyday interactions, tinged by bog-standard prejudice) has long supported the idea that the voting age should be increased, not decreased. Great to know the science is on my side!

    I suspect our esteemed Speaker had the same concern. Support for the deal appeared to be growing.

    European Union Referendum

    Quelle surprise. Article 50 extension request it is, then. If the EU27 refuse, the government has a choice: revoke Article 50 or leave with no deal. Very unlikely that Mrs May would allow the latter. High stakes.

    Now, just watch. The curly headed fuck will be sparked out in 10 seconds when he fights next.

    It genuinely saddens me, too. He’s one of my favourite fighters – so tough, so creative, so unorthodox, and never more dangerous than when he’s getting his ass kicked (see the fights with Vannata and Lee for examples). He’s one of those dudes who seems completely incapable of having a dull...

    ^ I’m not a big fan of Till, but I really wanted Till vs. Askren. Would have been fun. Tony has always seemed a bit eccentric, hence the “Tony Ferguson is the type of dude who…” meme. Really sad to read that he’s not just ‘a character’ and in fact has serious mental health problems. Probably...

    Do it over two days, maybe? Most people treat Wrestlemania like a four day weekend already. NXT on the Friday. WM on Saturday and Sunday. Raw on Monday (Smackdown is moving to Friday, isn't it?). The Hall of Fame could be ditched. They're running out of people to induct anyway.

    I think Gervais is a twat and that probably colours my impression of everything he does, but I really didn't like it. Tonally all over the place, and not very funny.

    Mate, I'm on my fourth glass of Old Pulteney and I've just finished reading a Twitter exchange about how Mike Freer will be allowed to remain a government whip despite breaking the three-line whip he just imposed on himself. I have no fucking idea what's going on. Sorry.

    European Union Referendum

    Parliament will reject 'no deal' tomorrow. That doesn't remove it as the default option, of course; however, it's a necessary prelude to more meaningful action. Parliament could vote to seek an Article 50 extension. It almost certainly will on Thursday. The EU27 might not grant it (it requires...

    European Union Referendum

    Parliament will most likely vote against 'no deal' Brexit, i.e. the procedural default as per the process Parliament voted 498-114 in favour of initiating back in February 2017. Vote for extending Article 50 to follow on Thursday.
