Jezza's still front page news for the antisemitism - will the poll headline be the same???!!!!!

Was just going to say the bat signal had gone up.

In other news, VdL will take over from JCJ on 01 December...he is out of hospital and has said he doesn't want an extension til Jan 31st. VdL has rowed back on insisting on a UK Commissioner, now saying there is precedent for it etc. She's accepted Macron's pick, but made sure there is a German as his deputy. Wonder how much Merkel had to do with Juncker deciding not to stay on.

SingingLily · 27/11/2019 19:06

Gah! Batty Gardner!

Flaming autocorrect!!

Aaargh!!

The signal has just dropped for my Sky 😩😩😩

Was really enjoying watching Batty lose his shit with Andrew 😂😂

Actually lost track of what he was saying in the end because it was too distracting watching his jowels shaking 😂😂

(Now missing the Tory rep - is he getting grilled over the same thing??)

EpicShitDippedBatBiscuit · 27/11/2019 19:29

I can’t watch it, DH watching a recorded sky programme... 🙄

I will just enjoy your updates!

I’m shitting it with this big poll... and yes, how prescient is that front page with Jezza! 😱

Comradesally · 27/11/2019 19:33

I've never heard of a chip butty barm cake Confused but then I am a stupid little englander.

Epic, I went and read your rants and I agree with almost every word.
It is a scary time but corbyn is putting off so many sensible people, poor people, rich, those in between.... I wouldn't worry too much.
I'm worried because it's not over until the lady sings.. But... Only die hards will vote for him

SingingLily · 27/11/2019 19:35

Batty was very pink in the face and clearly rattled. He admitted there was nothing in the documents about us paying five figure sums for cancer treatment or to give birth or to see a GP but just when I thought AN was going for the jugular, he seemed to drop the ball. 😤🤷🏼‍♀️

Robert Buckland was on in the second half but wasn't rattled about the documents and gave a good account under fire about Islamophobia . However, there has been some sloppiness in the procedures that Boris had better tighten up. Robert a QC as well as former AG and it snowed.

Did someone say chip barm? After my scampi fries starter, I'd love a chip barm.

SingingLily · 27/11/2019 19:36

Showed, not snowed.

Bloody autocorrect!!!

Thanks comradesally! SmileWine

This is backing up that the Corbyn ‘I hate the media’ media circus today, was probably just the emperors new clothes.

You could be forgiven for thinking this was no more than a cynical and timely diversion from the Anti semitism crisis that just won’t go away, bless him. I mean I’m not necessarily saying that I think that’s what it was, but I think that’s what it was. 😉

Dusty I just read that times headline and my stomach fell! Then I read...

This time in 2017 Grin phew.

SingingLily · 27/11/2019 19:46

I've never heard of a chip butty barm cake

It's a well-known Liverpudlian delicacy, Comradesally. Try one, it's delicious - and whatever you're drinking. On the house.

People I've previously thought were sensible posted corybn driven NHS drivel today.

I couldn't believe it. An American man talking about the American system that cut him off when he needed support and the British NHS and how it helped his son, whom he then lost....

And how this is why he's voting Labour Confused

I don't get it.
Not a single person in the UK would allow it.

The riots would put the French to shame.
Nothing like the UK has ever seen.

The marches the protests...

It's ridiculous!

EpicShitDippedBatBiscuit · 27/11/2019 19:49

It used to be a chip stottie when I was up north, and a chip bap down south... for the life of me, now I’m in the middle, I’ve no idea what it’s called here... 😂

Never liked either! (I know, I’m a carbohydrate heathen.) 😂 not a massive chip fan. 🙃

Comradesally · 27/11/2019 19:50

Really? I have family from there, well the Wirral and Ellesmere Port but I've never heard of it!!??!

EpicShitDippedBatBiscuit · 27/11/2019 19:52

I always thought barm Cake was a yorkshire thing... everyday is a school day! Lol

EpicShitDippedBatBiscuit · 27/11/2019 19:53

Anyone on this thread, who is not from the uk, will think we have lost our bread based marbles... 😂

Walkingdeadfangirl · 27/11/2019 19:57

There seems to be several remain tactical voting websites and they are all giving conflicting advise on who to vote for to stop Brexit.

I am currently imagining remain voters all desperate to stop Brexit using a tactical vote but they are all spit equally on which website they use. So they never coalesce around the right candidate and cancel each others vote out... and the Tories get a landslide and we get Brexit.

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.

ajandjjmum · 27/11/2019 19:58

As a Waspi (who did prepare for later retirement!), I entered my details on the Labour site yesterday to find out how much they would give me. Apparently I'd be due £6,500 - but sadly they can't tell me what they'd cost me. Probably double!

I've paid the price for my curiosity - endless emails from Jezza and his little mates asking for money today.

Hadn't heard about this big poll at 10 - waiting with butterflies now!

BelleHathor · 27/11/2019 20:03

Butterflies 🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋 too, I've just read Dmitri's blog and am feeling positive dare I say patriotic 👀, a bit like the Americans who shout USA!USA!

EpicShitDippedBatBiscuit · 27/11/2019 20:06

Aj, that’s the trouble isn’t it? They say they will give with one hand but they will have to somehow take back with 3 (or more) to make it pay. 🤦🏻‍♀️

I think the 14k previously hidden issues for pensioners, exposed by the AN interview, and detailed on yesterdays thread might go someway to understanding the expensive impact of throwing around uncosted, disingenuous carrots...

EpicShitDippedBatBiscuit · 27/11/2019 20:09

“There seems to be several remain tactical voting websites and they are all giving conflicting advise on who to vote for to stop Brexit.”

I noticed this early on, it’s given me a hearty chuckle to see that it is still causing headaches! 😂 anyone would think that each remain party had their own political interests and agendas in mind.
