Are you a country?

It feels like you are refusing to argue in good faith so you'll have an excuse to insult people.

No, that'd be if I dropped the -ry.

If you ever need a $100 survival package let me know. 
I'll see what I can do.

Don't let SCG drive a wedge between us.   

Don't let SCG see the real you. 

That makes me vaguely scared for some reason...

Be very afraid.

I am

Not sure why they don't just scrap the whole thing as if the mess never happened

And now the EU is offering a chance to delay until October. This will never end.

Is there anything more appropriate than leaving it to Halloween though?

I have literally no idea whatsoever.

And then on Halloween, we find out it's been pushed off again. Then it happens a handful more times. And a documentary is made about it, entitled "Halloween," and it's even more terrifying than the other movie series that shares the name.

In fairness we were actually pretty close to customs union or a second referendum before this, at least as far as the indicative votes went. While there's every chance May's just going to choose to ignore all that because that's just the kind of person she is, the outcry for anything from letting the people have a say now that they know what brexit is like, to just straight-up demanding a general election because this has been a disaster...

LOL.  The truth emerges.

Go fishing, have another beer.  Politics is complicated.

Do you believe that Halloween has some significance?   

Apparently Sargon of Akkad is running for MEP with UKIP:



(This is not real obviously, his campaign has been pretty absurd though)

I've been meaning to get around to watching this for a few days now.  This is a must watch TED talk.  Scary as all fuck.

Did... Did these people just discover propaganda??

Should be worth following. Sargon is famously bad at debates.

He's bad at everything really, no clue how he got famous in the first place. Watch this sad thing:

I love how he's acting like he's saying something super profound and important and raising his voice when he's actually saying "I SHOULD HE ABLE TO JOKE ABOUT RAPING WHOMEVER I WANT!". I think he's just really dumb.

Two words, Gamer Gate.

Can we get Jane to offer an opinion on John McDonnell? He seemsmostly cool to me so far.

Umm,  no that wasn't the point at all,  propaganda isn't illegal,  immoral maybe,  but what  Vote Leave did was illegal, and facebook is hiding the evidence.

I lost a gaff once on a 6ft bronze whaler shark, in hindsight, I'm probably lucky I didn't manage to hang on.   

You gotta be careful when you gaff a shark.

Getting a shark to leader is an official catch. Cut the wire.
If you're targeting thresher or mako or some other tasty shark
you bring a baseball bat or a shotgun.

We caught some school shark also,  cut into steaks,  wrap in bacon and fry with garlic, lemon and little salt.

Are we far enough away from Brexit now that you can relax?

I never gave a crap about Brexit. It's like any other vote . . .

Those on one side vilify those on the other side and vice a versa.
Losing is never fun. It is amazing how people
are now elevating their personal opinions
to the level of fact.

Fact is you have a lot to say about something you pretend not to care about.
