Numero Veinticinco

They call it that, but when you actually look at the spending and improvements in schooling, hospitals, and various working conditions and social policies in comparison to the years that sandwich it, you see that there's a a reasonable huge chasm.

That's a perfectly reasonable and I don't blame people for voting with their heart. I just get a bit disheartened because what people want is going to get further away, in my opinion. I wish the left had more ability to be cut-throats instead of trying to be everyone's best mate. We might finally get something done. Oh, is that what they were getting at? I gave them too much credit then. I assumed the update was a renewal and it had been resisted previously. Definitely through Panama though, so it's factual in that regard. Nothing to do with this bunch though, that's the registrar.

That's the thing. Despite not being a Blairite, in any shape or form, and opposing the wars that cost a fuck load of money and, more importantly, a fuck load of lives, I think the left have gone off a cliff with him. I'm much more of a Brownite than a Blairite, but things - whilst a mile away from being a perfect Utopia - improved dramatically after 18 years of Tories. I can't believe that those on the left would sooner see two parties get none of their policies enacted and live under perpetual Tory rule than have a group that, whilst not matching their political ideal, would do what New Labour did and balance the financial side with decent support for people and social policies. The country would be much better under Brown or Blair than these Tories. Making out as if they're right wingers who are no different from Tories won't really get anybody anywhere. I'd happily have Miliband or Jeremy Corbyn in power rather than the Tories, too. But the problem is, they can't win elections with the wider population. So 0 of the policies that I want get put into place rather than 60 or 70%. The priority should be to get back in power, then slowly drift to the left. Make life better for people, then start drifting the left wing ideas. I get the desire for a left wing government, but here's the truth as I see it... if we're not pragmatic about it, what we get for all our ideals is the opposite of what we want.

Regardless of the date it was registered originally (it may or may not have gone back well before the update), it being registered in Panama or wherever else is really of little importance to the end user doing the registering, it's the registrar that would be based there. Considering they will sell all over the world, they can be based wherever they want. This is the problem I have with people saying 'sorry if you have a problem with me stating facts'. Hmm, facts are cool. Context is cooler.

I'm fairly sure people - including Labour supporters and MPs - can have an opinion on what they think should happen without it being mandated by Labour.

Yeah, but it won’t fly. They have as much right to write bullshit as everyone else. You know my aversion to conspiracy theories in general, but the right to freely express these ideas is sacred.

There’s very little chance anybody will try to stop conspiracy theorists.

You sure told us.

What?

Back on the conspiracy train, mate?

No, that's not what he means. It's just literally true that you vote for a person. The literal process is to vote for a person. Why you voted for that person isn't taken into account.

They did have their vote, to be fair. And they voted for that MP. I know it's not fair or right, but the fact is that people vote for MPs.

What?

Yeah, I fell into the same trap with Hank Moody. I was like 'whilst we're all fucking around with our names...'

As long as we agree I'm a sexist, it's allllll good.

I'd bang the Berger, though.

Starter looks nice mate. Glad you enjoyed it.

The size and uniformity lead me to believe it's a frozen one. I could be wrong, and I'm definitely not, but I could be. But I'm not.

Don't you question my logic. EDIT: Just seen the above picture. You had a full starter like that before a roast? Fucking hell, mate.

That fucking Yorkshire is fucking frozen you fucking fuck. Love you. Bye.

If that's the best roast you've ever had, you need to up your game. Shit roast potatoes. Like criminally shit. Pile of wank frozen Yorkshire. Gravy in the corner of the plate? Also, the plate has fucking corners. At least it's white, I suppose. Also, what's the dry nut-roast looking shit by the cauliflower? Parsnip looks flaccid. 2/10

Yet another good reason to leave the fucking EU. We won't have to put up with their Greenpeace, tree hugging bullshit regulations like above.
