    European Union Referendum

    It would be the most absurd perversion of democracy (the PM might as well tear up the social contract and wipe his/her arse with it), but I’m not sure it would be illegal. It might be, but I'm not sure. The referendum was advisory, so the government is not legally bound to implement the result...

    European Union Referendum

    I don't think there is any causal relationship between the two. There are some broad thematic similarities, but by and large the Yanks don't give two shits about what's happening in our domestic politics. I, as a Leave voter and campaigner, am willing to take the blame for many things, but a...

    European Union Referendum

    Given that Article 50 has been invoked and we have an official leave date (29 March 2019), the default position if May's godawful deal is rejected would be, err, no deal. I'm not stating my desired outcome here; just stating it as procedural fact. The Article 50 period can be extended if the...

    Stickied What are you currently watching?

    Check out the third season of Fargo (it can be watched as a standalone series; no need to watch the first two) if you have not done so already. She's fantastic in that. David Thewlis is excellent too. Probably the best thing on TV last year.

    Sure doesn’t feel like it, but fair play to you. Have a like.

    It's embarrassing.

    Play God for the day

    Just realised that the original poster has already marked pandas for extermination, so I'll give my second choice: the ostrich. A bird that cannot fly. Pointless. Get rid.

    Play God for the day

    Pandas don't deserve our help. I don't wish to forcefully remove them them from the planet. I'm not suggesting a panda holocaust. But, seriously, why are we trying so hard to prevent their inevitable extinction? We spend millions on captive breeding programmes trying to help these slobs...

    West London towerblock Fire

    The video shows that people can be dumb, insensitive and joke about things in poor taste. We knew that already. There are approx. 7 billion of us scuttling around on this godforsaken planet and none of us are perfect. Some amount of human stupidity is inevitable; and, all things considered...

    West London towerblock Fire

    The most concerning part of that story is Scotland Yard being involved.

    Has 1FF/TFF died?

    It’s the quietest I’ve seen it, and I’ve been blighting the community in one form or another since 2004. I don’t claim to know the cause(s), but it is kinda sad. N&CA, which has always been my main hang-out, was very lively circa 2016-17. Now it’s pretty much dead.

    The official road to WrestleMania 35 prediction contest

    Gotta love their “we’re already copping flak for taking money from murderous theocrats, so we might as well bring back that racist old fool Hogan while we’re there” pragmatism. And then the Shane stuff on top! Hilarious. P.S. Can we get a more forward planning / notice on these prediction...

    The Coalition of Expensive Chaos

    You can think and write whatever you like, mate. You don't need my approval. But if you obviously misrepresent a situation to make it look much worse than it was, I'm probably gonna point it out. Cool?

    The Coalition of Expensive Chaos

    The target of the remark was obviously the stepfather, not the ill child. That doesn't make it okay but you've misrepresented the situation (knowingly or not) and made it sound much worse than it is. The boy in the photo looks about 10 years old. Children that age don't care about Brexit. They...

    European Union Referendum

    The only way a second referendum would not be a de facto second referendum on membership would be if the ballot paper offered nothing more than a clear binary choice between accepting a negotiated withdrawal deal and leaving with no deal at all. How many of yesterday’s marchers (and sulky #FBPE...
