The day after the referendum, my dad met a guy in the local papershop who insisted that we were already out of the EU. There is no lower limit to the stupidity of people, especially when they're getting misinformed by weird media sources.

However, it's unlikely that the papers are going to give up their anti-EU bashing at this point. For one thing, what the fuck would the DM and the Telegraph print? So expect a huge amount of 'they won't let us go' style stories

Love the bikes in this thread but the insistence on drops is a bit silly. If this woman can do Paris Brest Paris on bullhorns maybe we can accept that drop bars are a stylistic preference owing to thinking that road bikes == things that look like racing bikes. Whatever tho, I’m still going to be checking out the bikes here.

There is going to be one hum-dinger of an office meeting next week, when all the managers get back from their holidays.

Wow. This makes it extremely easy not to give them my money.

The expanded universe is dead. All hail the new expanded universe! I can't wait until I get to read 'Kylo Ren's Glove' or "Finn's Boot's big day out", now that they've decided that Star Wars is going to be fanservice until the absolute fucking end of time

They were evil sith janitors. No worries.

You wait until the British press have had her for five years; you’ll be convinced that she is a disciple of Mao who wants to personally destroy society whilst stealing EU money for herself. Also something something FLAGS!

I have no idea why Labour isn’t more active in the communities it’s supposed to represent. Is there some law that stops them holding bake sales or having meetings or running food banks? Because if the media is going to represent Labour so badly they’re going to have to do it themselves

Welcome to Dubai on Thames!

Not sure why they’d bother after the drubbing just given to Labour. Much more likely that they’d overturn the fixed term policy and so we can have a six or seven year parliament.

Let’s talk about Ed Milliband. Remember him? Last leader of the Labour Party. Jewish guy. Once ate a sandwich. He got monstered in the press because he said he might slightly tax businesses.

Corbyn got exactly the same treatment for much longer. And he also got much worse online, where the electoral commission has no reach at all. There isn’t a left wing leader who can satisfy the Murdochs, and without the Murdochs setting the media pattern, you’re fucked.

This site is going to be Lothian Fixed Gear and Single Speed next year

he was a threadshitter who only came in to argue alt-right points on the two political threads. Both those threads had a three day derail while people argued the toss with him and he refused to deviate from his 'opinion', which was a basic bitch box-set of Youtube think points. He wasn't a great forumer, and people like him fuck up the place for everyone else.

Ah, the good ol' "it was only a joke mate" defence. No trolls have ever used that before.

Have you seen the Road fixed thread? Might have a few of the things you want.

He didn't actually attend that event, he was in Pizza Express in Bromley, and he was injured in his party zone in the Falklands and can sadly no longer party

Kindly fuck off, you alt right muppet. You add nothing of any value to any conversation.

It’s worth while pointing out that a lot of the leading BBC faces in news are right-wing. Evan Davis helped invent the poll tax, which is a bit shocking. It also says a lot that they’ve all congregated in the BBC

Most tech ideas are similar bullshit, it's just that Musk seems to be best at getting in the public eye, and has reached Trump-like levels of popularity in the states because of their credulous media that will literally print any bullshit. Plus he's doing SPAAAAAAACE and that helps the Americans feel like they're a cool nation that does stuff, rather than a horrific social and health care mess with an excellent media outreach.

It’s so quaint when people think that voting Lib Dem gets you left wing stuff.

Discussing the NHS documents is off message. The entire message from the Johnson campaign is ‘get brexit done’. There isn’t time for nuance or defending trade deals. Look on their social media and you’ll see them just saying this one thing again and again because a large proportion of the UK voters think that brexit will lead to better living conditions (spoilers: it won’t)
