My prediction for Brexit:We are heading for either something like May's deal or a no-deal. The opposition forces in Parliament don't have enough MPs and the Tory 'rebel remainers' never actually do any rebelling. May is winding the clock down to the deadline so that MPs will...See More »
Turning Point UK lands in Britain.No, not the mental health charity which does excellent work turning around people's lives but the Charlie Kirk American Conservative student group. 🤣 Apparently, because British students are intolerant (i.e. they are critical) of right-wing views on...See More »
Does the world have it's political priorities wrong? Maybe it's all about the taxes. Trickle-down economics has failed, even on its own terms. Billionaires meet at Davos to discuss 'creative solutions' which amount to nothing. Philanthropy can't fill the hole that low taxes dig and a rising tide leaves...See More »

MPs vote to NOT extend the no-deal Brexit deadline.We Brits prefer to shoot ourselves in the head than to kill ourselves slowly with poison. 🤷 https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2019/jan/29/labour-mps-rebel-vote-down-yvette-cooper-no-deal-amendment?CMP=Share_AndroidApp_Copy_to_clipboard
Is it possible to have a second referendum on Brexit?Personally, I don't think it is. Much to the disappointment of Remainers, there has been little shift in public opinion over the last two years. An average of polls shows a very small percentage shift to remain but well within the margin of error and...See More »
Should the West get involved in Venezuela?First up, I don't support the Maduro Government. They are corrupt and dictatorial. Their economic management since Chavez died has been a disaster. The opposition though is awful, perhaps more awful. The anti-government forces are funded by Oligarchs...See More »
Was Hitler a socialist? Right wing youtube thinks so. A highly educated and informed German thinks its ridiculous. I know who my money's on.
Should Ireland leave the EU and join the UK?Of course it shouldn't and it's a ridiculous question but that is what an Irish Minister was asked by the BBC. 🤦♀️ https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2019/jan/26/john-humphrys-suggests-ireland-could-quit-eu-and-join-uk Its about the Irish...See More »
Brasil's only openly gay congressman leaves his country.He's had death threats and was friends with someone who was murdered last year. Brazil's 'nationalist' president gives a thumbs up on Twitter. So much for free speech.
Congratulations to HBomber Guy. He's a Youtuber who earned $340,000 for a trans-rights charity by doing a live-stream of Donkey Kong for 57-hours straight. A British soy-boy socialist using gaming for a progressive political platform. What could possibly annoy the internet right...See More »
Who was the best Indie band ever.Define 'indie' how you like but for evidence, I need to see the video. 😎
Was this the best Eurovision song contest winner ever? Normally it's twee ballads and europop but one year it got trolled... .. quite literally. 🤣
Post a vid with an an emotional and melodic song. Make it a good one but not one that everybody knows.
Is Youtube a breeding ground for the far-right? For all the talk of 4Chan and the alt-right, it's Youtube which is now more significant as a focal point of far-right ideas. I know this because I've been seen it first-hand. I watched some videos by right-leaning Youtubers just to know what their...See More »
May calls on all MPs to put self-interest aside.In other news, Eminem launches a campaign against swear-words in hip-hop music.
Last night I had a nightmare....An elderly couple of neighbours were approached on their doorstep by a notorious fraudster who persuaded them to invest in one of his financial scams, offering them the most luxurious prosperity in their twilight years. They made an immediate initial...See More »
If a general election happens this year (UK) how will you vote?Also could you state if you are Brexiteer or remainer? I'm a Labour member and remain voter. I'm interested to see how these dynamics intersect.
May urges MPs to have a 'second look' at her Brexit deal.The turd has been polished so maybe it shines.
