A Quiet sad corner

[smashedinductionhob]

That's all. Pop over and sit down quietly if you like.

Thank you smashed - much appreciated.

to be fair, I think Springsteen would sell all his possessions to be in Martha's band.

ooh, sorry, name-changed for other purposes!

hold on....

as you were.

Norman Tebbit is exercising his undoubted right not to forgive Martin McGuinness.

This, and the Wollstonecroft biography remind me that the alternative to the European project (widely construed, something wider than the EU) is violence.

to be fair, I think Springsteen would sell all his possessions to be in Martha's band me too

Graceless responses to Mc Guiness's death speak volumes smashed
We shall overcome .

Went to parliament once, was in the bit near members' restaurant, an old man was crouched at the end of the stairs. As i neared I saw Tebbit. I aim for pacifism but my innate reaction to him was not pacific, however the moment passed.

The art of protest is needed now.
On the Stand Up to Racism the slogan was 'Love Music, Hate Racism' and the music was fantastic. It was like being in a mobile festival.
Peaceniks and remainers, and the resistance in US, have a lot of cultural capital on their side, time to use it.

So neither of you forgive.

Tebbit lives outside compassion borders, with Hitler and Bannon. Although I'm powerless enough for it not to matter, they're not. Yad Vashem is about remembering, not forgiving. How can we?

sorry, had to pop out to a previous user name to talk about school entry and summer born children.

a big part of my past

Hello. Quiet in here. Mind if I have a lie down?

After reading on the westminstenders thread that there is a piss take Tintin cover out, I have decided I would love to see an Asterix Brexit book. "Asterix and the big Brexit", maybe? I am pretty sure that Asterix and Obelix could sort this mess out.

Any of that jam left?

There is a five go mad for brexit book already published I think....

Yes, I've got loads, Jeremy is very productive (when it comes to jam)

I have the famous five Brexit book. I got it for Xmas. It's terrible!

Oh and for me, it's scone to rhyme with gone.
Not scone to rhyme with own.
But I won't judge if you say it differently to me.

I'm thinking of going to stand outside parliament on 29th. I've seen on Twitter someone is organising a Mad Hatter's tea party. I think I need to go and stand and mourn or weep or something.

I scone to rhyme with own for me
I'm sipping tea

That sounds good not

I don't work on Wednesdays though I am in a different timezone and when I wake up all the shit will have happened.

I will need to go out and do something I think.

Summer at least they could say "these Romans are crazy" while throwing obelisks around which could only improve things

Exactly :-) Not obelisks "menhirs".

My favourite is Asterix in Switzerland where they have orgies and get covered in stringy cheese.

Maybe we should give some politicians an Asterix name.

Underhandtrix?
Dipstix?
HonestlySeemsCompletelyLikeBaldricks?

I can't take the arguing anymore. Let's all stop arguing. It's nice and quiet in here.

No arguing in here. I'm mostly just talking to myself.

After the last few weary months, I just want to plop down. And surrender

This is a resting area. Don't spend all your time here though. (No surrendering)
