I disagree. There are girls who I didn't think were much to look at, but after hearing them speak they became the prettiest person on the planet. :love:

This could be interpreted in many ways. More attractive people might be more successful without having to wait on the benevolence of others or appealing to emotion, which is typical of leftwing politics.
It's about having a higher sense of self agency, imo. Knowing you're attractive can give you more self-confidence and probably a self-driven, entrepreneurial mentality.

Uh-oh. Bear in mind that Am'bro is like the biggest Eurosceptic in the English press and a perpetual doomster. For him to acknowledge that the Euro is here to stay is like admitting his life's worth of writing was for naught.

The good thing about brexit. Eurosceptics everywhere are looking at it and realizing it's a bad idea, and their parties, which are typically far right, are losing votes.

Yep. If they manage to get a new round of mid-term elections, Labour is gonna shrink. They kinda deserve it, considering their position on Brexit is a flip-flopping mess.

Not his fault. Parliament constrained him. That's why we need a new Parliament with a Conservative majority.

I'm curious to see the voter turnout. The more I learn about current British politics, the more I despise the people you can choose among.
Watched a nice little report on Cambridge Analytica, campaign donations during the Brexit referendum, Steve Bannon, DJT and Nigel Farage. My god...

Uh-oh, judging by how desperate Farage is for an alliance, seems like his small Brexiteer clique has long since peaked.

Par for the course.

I think I figured this out. So the UK can't just hold another referendum because a lot of people didn't like the result or believed they were misled because that sort of de-legitimizes the whole process (except they totally could and no one would give a shit a year later anyways). So instead hold another referendum about rejoining the EU after leaving, effective immediately, and then go forward with Brexit.

@Horsemen achieving a significant event is not necessarily a good thing. Osama Bin Laden achieved the most significant post-war event in US history

Well he did push for the creation of both NATO and the EU, but that's probably not to your liking.

Eh. NATO was useful for the Cold War, and the EU didn't start sperging out so hard about post-nationalist pseudo-communism until later on.
