Only if their names end in "sky" which tells us they're Globalists whose only interest in Russia is raping it of its natural resources. I'd say keeping those parasites out of power is a very, very good thing.
If you're not out by the end of October - *meaningfully* out - then democracy in the UK is about as alive as that Monty Python Norwegian Blue parrot.
and it's patently obvious his quote is untrue. The claim that nothing has a simple explanation is brainless. Does anyone really believe that all correct explanations must be complex?
all I can say is that made no sense to me
it looks like we're getting it

if that wins then the position goes unfilled until the next normal electio n.
You can leave the ballot paper completely unmarked - voting may be compulso ry in Australia, but it is also secret. You get fined if you don't go the p olling station and collect your ballot paper. The quality of the marks you put on that paper is entirely up to you.
d be gone. Of course that is a good thing, but they don't see it that way.
The proportion of spoiled ballot papers seems to run between roughly 5% and 10% of the ballots filled in.
All that from someones dumb troll post !! you need to get out more !!
If you pursue any complex field in science to the frontiers of human knowledge, you will see the truth - and the humour - in this great quote.
As ever Bill, you are confident but wrong. The business of actually leaving is managed by the government, and they are answerable (and removable) by Parliament. The previous PM made something of a mess of things and now we have a new one, and a mostly a new Government, the British way of doing things being sufficiently flexible as to be able to achieve this without elections or revolutions. Any time Parliament decided that it doesn't like them - then it can boot them out. A no deal Brexit doesn't look that disastrous. Current modelling by the OBR, allowing for no mitigation by countermeasures already in progress, puts it at a small recession, not ideal, but at least we get our freedom back. Germany is having a recession just for the fun of it.

Bill Sloman has an unhealthy preoccupation with the goings on of other countries which are absolutely none of his business. From his bolt-hole in Australia and getting all his news from CNN, he believes he knows what's best for the citizens of places like Britain and the USA and has a deep understanding of their needs and desires - better even than the people who actually live there! We're so fortunate to have caring, well-informed, well-intentioned people like Bill to pull us up when we make disastrous mistakes (like electing Trump; voting for Brexit etc.) which he knows we'll later come to regret. Such is the brilliance of this omniscient man's intellect. ;->
You sir, are an idiot. 1) no friggin way anyone could push a car 45 mph and 2) keep up with it. 3) If they wern't doing the job, perhaps you should pu sh 4) You would take the chance of having one or both of your kids killed i n traffic doing this stupid thing versus paying AAA for a yearly membership /or pay $100 for a tow? I take issue with the premise about physically lazy kids but more important ly you make a point that perhaps we may be mentally deficient as evidence b y this irrational expectation and corresponding post. Please, Dont feed the trolls.
Many things are more complex than they first seem, in the medical field especially, but the idea that nothing is simple is mere foolery.

ow to manage the democratic election of representatives. They are less prac ticed with referendums, and let Boris Johnson and Nigel Farage mislead the more gullible fraction of the population (which clearly includes Cursitor D oom) with a barrage of lies.
, and it has had enough sense to reject a disastrous no-deal Brexit, while not liking the terms of the deal that May was able to negotiate.
tructive consequences of a badly run referendum, the UK does seem to have a working democracy. Boris Johnson may silly enough to undermine that.
And they haven't managed to agree to anything yet.
Tell me about it after the current British government has succeeded in doin g something.
It can be argued that Theresa May was stuck with an insoluble problem, and Boris Johnson is now stuck with the same problem. Changing leaders doesn't change the problem.
True. But they then have to come up with a new government willing to grasp the poisoned chalice. Boris Johnson badly wanted to be prime minister, and doesn't have a particularly firm grasp of reality. Even British politics is n't all that well supplied with sufficiently megalomaniac twits - anybody w ho takes over from him will probably want to change the problem to be solve d.
Cutting yourselves off from your major trading partner isn't a great idea. It would help if the UK had stuff to sell, but it doesn't. The recession ma y be small, but it's also going to be persistent.
Germany isn't in recession yet, even if the economic indicators aren't grea t.
Germany exports almost as much as the US, despite having only a quarter of the US population. Trump's trade wars have put a crimp in the world's econo my and Germany - as a major exporter - is suffering in consequence.

I lived in the UK for 22 years and the Netherlands for 19 years, and I've g ot friends in both countries. We just spent two months in Europe, mostly in the Netherlands
believes he knows what's best for the citizens of places like Britain and the USA and has a deep understanding of their needs and desires - better e ven than the people who actually live there!
I don't get any news from CNN. I do follow the news in the quality Australi an press while Cursitor Doom seems to read the Daily Mail, which feeds him right-wing nonsense. He doesn't live in the UK either.
You didn't have to be very bright to realise that Trump was going to be dis aster he has turned out to be, or that Brexit was a silly idea. Cursitor Do om is much to dumb to have worked this out yet, and rather resents having i t pointed out, but life is difficult for the intellectually challenged, and they do get resentful about it.
My youngest engineer, recently promoted from intern, saw me struggling to get my Tek 11802 off a shelf above my bench. He walked in, nudged me aside, and lifted it straight up.
The weight is specified as 108 lbs. Yikes.
(It had the dreaded E5622 powerup error. Dead battery-backed Dallas Smart Socket sram thing.)
Whenever he sees me carrying something heavy, he rushes over to schlep it for me. Good kid.
Tabbypurr does seem to have been suckered by a number of simple, but wrong, ideas.
Gullible twits do tend to feel better-informed than they are. The art of flattering them into making choices that pay off well for the flatterers is well known - but part of the art is picking targets and bolstering their delusions of competence.
Every home should have one.
Hope you don't become responsible for his knackering his back. That's one of the things that squicks me.

Simple answer: It's a complex issue. ;-)
He works out, probably lifts a lot more than that. Several of my guys work out too, except one dances flamenco. We hear weird sounds in the conference room now and then as she types and taps in her office above our heads.
I think the kids are OK.
it isn't. of course.
I used to hear a whoosh - crump sound in cubicle land; a co-worker was teaching himself to unicycle. Health and safety? Wozzat?
The kids are, as always, great. The ossified older generation with rose-tinted specs is the problem. There are quite a few of those in this newsgroup.
Having said that, Victor Meldrew is a hero of mine :)
If it were, NT wouldn't be able to understand it, and would ignore it.
