it’s like rock-paper-scissors for insults...as much as the other two are twats, Boris is unmistakably more of one...

maintaining that a site literally named for being a tiny sliver of something represents the whole of anything seems woefully misguided...

figured it had to be something along those lines...I’ve read enough of these that I’d have been surprised if tsg were flat-out wrong but wouldn’t let it drop...

it doesn’t help that his mate Dave had a book coming out so went & stirred the pot by suggesting he got the Queen to put her thumb on the scales about Scottish Independence in contravention of principle & precedent...

“my position is they should start a war for independence if they want to be”

not for that guy...that guy can be wrong so hard it'll make your head hurt just to read it all the way through...

you haven’t actually spoken to a lot of those people, clearly...your inability to grasp the nuance required to understand even the comments at the Daily Mail (to pick the lowest bar I can think of) is some masterful asshattery, though...

despite tsg’s assertion that the term “half” is involved I’m fairly certain that the definition of “majority” is the “larger part” or “greater number”...

it’s not as though the other parties aren’t also trying to maneuver for advantage with a view to a general election campaign but it’s only Boris’ crowd doing it while claiming not to be...& since of the three or four “main” parties the Tories & the Lib Dems (& to an extent the SNP for the “or four” bit) have general…

for the time being...the trick, so to speak, is that any change worthy of the name to the withdrawal agreement would require all the remaining EU countries to accede to which is the level of negotiation they are clear they won’t revisit...

that they did...but they also keep making pointed references to how nice it would be to drop the whole idea...

depending on your tastes the whole series may be more than you’d want to read but Douglas Adams wrote about “the Krikkit Wars, the greatest devastation ever visited upon our Galaxy” in Life, the Universe & Everything...

so...what you're saying is that Bill Hicks was a prophet...right...?

not to make it sound like a competition but going round one great lake & through two states on a bicycle might be pretty good going for a man of his age...

[right...so first off, apologies for the wall of text...I’ve been listening to the BBC for an inadvisable portion of the last few days in addition to seeing a fair bit about this stuff here or there & my thoughts somewhat ran away with me...sorry you drew the short straw...]

to which really I feel there’s only one acceptable response...

well, there’s a part of me that chuckles every time I see your name pop up even before I read what you wrote...so I’d say you have a leg up if you do...did think that you could just keep things as they are but reserve the narf for those most deserving, though...

even if he’s really the great & terrible wizard of tomatOz So Emotional is not The Brain...
