Just in case you thought the earlier tweet might have been a joke...

Possibly the single greatest news clip since May 2017. pic.twitter.com/bTy2pWy6jN

*mad, bitter laughter*

I can't even at this point. But it's nice that someone at least says it how it is.

I see someone says they need to find the minister and congratulate them.

Why?

They are as guilty as the Camerons; Rees-Moggs; Johnsons & Farage (which apparently is a word for excrement in Malay), they should resign and vote to end this madness; then quit and become something useful like a street cleaner.

[elisi]

People aren't used to politicians speaking the truth...

And street cleaning would be good. As you say, far more useful!

Can we get Saxon in? Anyone, literally ANYONE would be better than the current MPs.....

Nah, he'd have to work with them, and I think that even the Master has some basic demand for skill and competence.

Re: (shrug)

[elisi]

Work with them??? He'd just kill them.

Re: (shrug)

[(Anonymous)]

I think that at this point, even putting up with them just long enough to kill them would be unfair to the Master.

Re: (shrug)

[elisi]

Oh I see. Let's get Missy in. She'd be happy disposing of them more quickly. ;)

[elisi]

At least Saxon was competent. Evil, yes, but very very competent.

When this is all over, I hope that is the clip that symbolises Brexit for all future generations.

[elisi]

I think that's quite likely to be honest...

Holy shit...

[elisi]

It's great that people are finally admitting what a shit show this is.

[a-phoenixdragon.livejournal.com]

I think now that it is being said out loud, everyone is able to finally admit it, yes. But the people and the pundits have been screaming this for a year or more. Meh.

[elisi]

It's been one from the start.

I remember discussing it with people in my office *before* the Referendum and (since several were going to vote Leave) asked why. To which one of them said something about all the extra money for the NHS and I just replied 'But that's a lie!' (Like, people were genuinely believing this???) But then we were interrupted. However, I feel pleased that for once I actually said something.

True. I find the comedians in the US and the UK were nailing out the issues long before anyone else...and isn't it terrible we get more tackling of rough issues in comedy BEFORE the 'more serious' arenas acknowledge potential problems?

Meh. I digress.

It seems that the aware, awake and thinky people were on this from the jump. Of course, they had to take insults for being awake, aware and thinking, which is a sad state of affairs to be honest: when critical thinking and questions are 'elitest' we have fallen FAR down the ladder, methinks.

I remember you called this out and I was so proud if you!!! It boggles how people say and do such stupid things, then when they get called on it, they have to think it through. The fact that they 'forgot' this would affect you shows a lot about their own issues and how far down the rabbit hole they fell. It is sad and terrible - and too indicative of the hate and 'otherism' that has become so common (and deliberately cultivated) the last several decades. It has always been there, but it has never been so blatant and the reasoning so backwards and ignorant. I can only hope they are thoroughly ashamed of themselves at this point.

*HUGS*

To be fair, that is one of the roles of comedians. Jesters have always been able to speak truth to power...

As for all the rest, then this article is excellent. Depressing, but excellent. (If you ever feel like reading more. By all means avoid.)

[a-phoenixdragon.livejournal.com]

I never quite thought of it that way. You have a fine point!

I will happily read (I always prefer to be informed). Thank you for the article, lovie. :D

*HUGS*

[elisi]

Thank you. :)

And enjoy, when you get that far. (Well, 'enjoy' might be a strong word...)

[a-phoenixdragon.livejournal.com]

I was able to read. It very much laid out the issues and how they came about. I learned a few things that I did not know...and I feel sorry for the UK more than ever.

*HUGS*

[elisi]

Basically we can circle back to that clip I posted - no one has a clue! /o\

[ragnarok-08.livejournal.com]

Holy cow...

[elisi]

Well, it's an accurate description.
