Hey is there a number we can call to have Piers Morgan thrown into a wastebin since we’re talking about removing garbage

I know we said we wanted a british guy to make CNN classy but you might have mentioned he had even less brains than the other presenters, Jesus Christ.

This seems like a terrible, disappointing outcome for everyone, in true Theresa May style. Why did this matter so much to her again?

But...but...democracy literally isn't a vote once and then always be stuck with it kinda thing. That's...that's why you keep voting...

:cripes:

You should have read this thread (or its predecessor) after the referendum. People on these very forums shouting "WE CAN'T GO AGAINST THE WILL OF THE PEOPLE" and preparing to launch themselves and everyone else from a window because apparently you can't have more than one vote for important issues.

Ah, but that's Scotland, you see. Britain, the true heralds of democracy, make up their minds and stick to it. So we're told, anyways.

I know there’s a lot of self delusion involved but I still can’t quite believe May’s behavior. It’s one thing to to hold on to the job by doing bullshit the tories think they want- it’s quite another to agree to burn the whole place down because not immolating everything would be unpopular.

Also the Dunkirk spirit thing only gets funnier now when I hear it, thank you all for clarifying.

Additional question: why do they keep bringing up “spirit of the blitz” when they are not under attack by a foreign power and no one is blitzing anyone
