    Those proposals will never be made law and acted upon.

    It’s infeasible nonsense to pander to the Daily Mail reading curtain-twitchers. They’ve had 13 years to try and do this. If they wanted to (and indeed if it was in any way possible), they’d have done it already.

    It’ll be just “Vote for us and we’ll make your children safe from nonces and muzzies!” until the end of time.

        We did, but it was pretty clear that they didn’t want to. It was a “shut the swivel eyed loons up” move and backfired in spectacular fashion.

        The Prime Minister quit the next day, and the only person that looked pleased was Nigel Farage as he knew he’d never have to deal with it or be held accountable in any way.

        The Tories will be annihilated at the next general election. Polling like 20-30% lower than Labour.

        While I agree that Brexit was a stupidity, I also firmly believe that EU in its current form is equally as stupid.

      Eh, I never thought the GOP would actually overturn abortion rights because it’s such an effective red herring to get their base to keep voting against their best interests, but here we are.

        To be fair, I don’t think the GOP ever planned on it happening either. Their strategies aren’t forward thinking whatsoever and are actively fucking over future members of the GOP.

      Brexit happened. How long was that simmering? Anything is possible. The country has proven that.
