First off, comrade Hilda has been busy in the propaganda dept! Praise be to Hilda! The dear leader will appreciate and reward your efforts with a cushy job in the newly opened Ministry of Bullshit. ✊🥀

Specials board.

⭐️ Snacks.

•Salty Bar nuts
(we always have too many)

•Marrow crisps,
I know you all hate them, but we had a glut and needed to do something with them. 🤷🏻‍♀️😬

⭐️ Mains.

A festive choice of...

•’Properly Stuffed’ “Christmas voting” Turkey.

•Festive Glazed Gammons.

•Goose that laid the Gilded socialist egg.

•’Whigs’ in blankets.

•Sauce for the Goose and Sauce for the Gander

•Brussels’ sprouts.
Divisive, yet still popular in some quarters...

•Neeps and tatties.
Grown in Corbyn’s Communist plot and kindly gifted back to us by the SNP.

⭐️Festive Drinks.

•Rebecca’s long Baileys.
Seems nice enough, but can be vicious if you have too much.

•Corbyn’s Victory Gin.
State sanctioned by big brother.

•Bag in, artisan Earl Grey Cocktail.
A Boris election special.

•Red flag Rum.
for the singing socialists among us.

•Egg nog.
Gifted by Trump. Sticks in your throat a bit, but it’s polite to drink it and pretend to half enjoy it anyway.

•The #ClassicDmitri.
Shaken and stirred. A Russian Vodka based Cocktail, shrouded in mystery and intrigue. No one really knows how it came to exist, but all we know is, that it might have happened. Somewhere. And now it’s on the menu. Enjoy!

⭐️Desserts.

•Imported Panettone.
Get it fast, I’m reliably informed we will never ever have it again post Brexit.

•Traditional Christmas pudding.
have a good look for that old fashioned sixpence inside, we might need it when all the money runs out.

•Damson jam steamed pudding.
I’m told by the suppliers, that It’s like the infamous Mumsnet chicken, we can get eleventy billion servings from it and still have more for the freezer.

As always, welcome to all who pass through this place, but, as ever please observe the sign above the bar. If you can’t read it. It says...

DON’T BE A TWAT.

🎄 🌟 🎁 🍸 🥜 🦃 🎅

But then we have this one in the Mail:

www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-7767331/Jeremy-Corbyn-jumps-FOUR-narrow-gap-frontrunner-Boris-Johnson-just-six-points.html

Which makes me feel a bit sick TBH...who is deciding Comrade Corbz is fit for PM after the last few weeks...

Ditto this. Baffling.

Twattage it's true that it's going to be a tight night, in every sense of the word - I predict nothing. I was surprised that the Leave vote won, surprised that Trump was elected, and also BJ.

Although I live in a reasonable safe Tory seat and would prefer to vote Greeny (going off Green Party but they've taken over the Environmental Asylum so that is what we have) or the Independent (real Indy), I'm going to vote Tory. Just to make sure.

Unless the weather is truly catastrophic, I can't see it as much of a barrier to voting, it's only weather after all.

Walkingdeadfangirl · 07/12/2019 20:20

Hi all, its the weekend and work is over hooray!!!
Bottles of the sweet stuff are opened and being consumed.
I am getting every pennies worth of my 1 month free Amazon prime and binge watching lots of Zombie stuff.

Amazing art work dusty.

FYI Quorn fingers are available if we run out of fish.

The money has spoken and after yesterdays debate odds have shortened on a Boris Majority from 2/5 to 3/8. Good news.

Twattage13 · 07/12/2019 20:20

Hatels you are of the same view as my husband. All bets are off - he does keep an eye on the bookies odds rather than the polls and they are shortening for Con majority at the moment. But honestly who knows...I intend to be drunk by 10pm on Thurs when the exit poll comes out.

EntropyRising · 07/12/2019 20:42

I feel rather ill with anxiety over Corbyn and expect that's just how it's going to be for the next several days.

Maybe the person in charge of the bar inventory should order reinforcements.

Oh and thanks for the welcome @Twattage13 Wink . The fisheries policy (and CAP) are a scandal and I've no idea how anyone could claim to be an environmentalist (I do) and support this shite.

I've managed to escape a giant arena concert tonight with my husband, he's going with a friend instead, whoop whoop, so I'll be here at the bar.

EpicShitDippedBatBiscuit · 07/12/2019 20:48

“Maybe the person in charge of the bar inventory should order reinforcements.”

That would be me! Don’t worry, Ive put in a triple order for this week! The #ClassicDmitris are flying off the shelves, but not so many takers on the red flag rum... Perhaps I’m pitching to the wrong crowd? Anyway, once we have drunk all the other booze, and are horribly desperate, we can crack open the socialist innebriation fluid. 😉

I am the same - I have somewhat more to lose from the tax situation under Labour (having dragged myself up from council bootstraps as the first person in my family to go to uni, and now owning my own business).

However it is the ideological situation with Corbyn and co which I am most afraid of - first they come for the jews and people say nothing etc etc (I have a degree in politics and my two specialist subjects were Nazi Germany and the EC / EU). So do I know a little bit about these things...

Twattage13 · 07/12/2019 21:05

council house bootstraps...

HateIsNotGood · 07/12/2019 21:07

I plan to sleep in the afternoon and not drink until 2am (or so) to keep awake - I think I'm pencilled in for the 2-4am shift?

Alternatively, I could buy a large bottle of Cognac, keep my espresso on constant, and be completely wired by 2am and get unecessarily offended when my soggy sand eel ersatz fish-fingers are refused and I'm screaming get used to it Motherfuckers, Brexit is happening and you'd better get used to eating this shite.

EpicShitDippedBatBiscuit · 07/12/2019 21:22

I'm not worried, scared or terrified by any of them. The only worry I have is that the uncertainty continues. I really hope that this BJ led Tory bunch win, and get this Brexit thing over the line. Maybe even if the HoC had mobilized in the first year and sorted something out that kept the UK in the EU as a New Deal - I could have accepted that. But they didn't - winsome, spineless, power-seeking wankers.

Uncertainty is the worst thing to inflict on society or anybody.

I think BJ will get the Brexit-thing started then resign within a year, by choice.

I hope that new parties will form and that a less-combatative way of running our country will be born from the ashes of the past 3 years.

Dusty01 · 07/12/2019 21:55

Nothing will be certain once/if Brexit happens. That will be the start of even greater uncertainty. The only certainty is that it will drag on for years.

ArseDarkly · 07/12/2019 21:59

'winsome'? Confused

Win some, lose some....

XingMing · 07/12/2019 22:01

New parties, new alliances, aimed at alleviating the worst excesses of both extremes would be a great start. No political party is going to brake the oligarchs, unless they can be trammelled into believing the rules apply to them too, and likewise, those without prospects need to feel there's hope.

To disagree, mildly, with PP, there's always uncertainty in life.

EpicShitDippedBatBiscuit · 07/12/2019 22:13

“Nothing will be certain once/if Brexit happens. That will be the start of even greater uncertainty. The only certainty is that it will drag on for years.”

What will be certain if it doesn’t?

Sorry, watching the matrix and feeling existential. Wink

OP posts:
HateIsNotGood · 07/12/2019 22:14

Yes, I agree that uncertainty is a part of life - however whilst none of us can be certain of anything - and we never should be; there is a tranquility that involves having a reasonable idea of what will happen tomorrow or this time next year.

Helloo-oo DarkArse and Not our Dusty. Pull up a chair - you know you can't resist us really don't you? That's because none of us are really that different - we all do mostly the same regular life things as all people, and narey I say, most mammals.

Isn't it a bit tiresome saying the same things over and over again? I'm sure you've got other things to say....don't worry, you're safe here Mwahahahaha, evil laughing, etc

ArseDarkly · 07/12/2019 22:21

Hello Hate I didn't really say anything tbf - just questioning the use of the word 'winsome' - meaning attractive, innocent, engaging - applied to your rant about the HoC

Also - Isn't it a bit tiresome saying the same things over and over again?
Landlady - can I order a giant sized Pot and Kettle for Hate thanks!

Walkingdeadfangirl · 07/12/2019 22:27

Remember back in the days when MPs and others would say, "I accept the result of the referendum". Which became "I am not trying to stop Brexit, just a No Deal Brexit".

Where are those people now? Did they ever exist?

Are they the same people now saying, "Nothing will be certain once/if Brexit happens. That will be the start of even greater uncertainty. The only certainty is that it will drag on for years".

Arse - perfect. Can I have a toaster too? Christmas has come early to Shtëpi Hate. I'll PM you my delivery address - the choice of colour is completely yours.

I took your winsome description as a play on words, all very harmless.

Would you like to come and sit here by the fire? Ignore the cauldron, it's quite harmless - it's my Clearly Soup; everytime someone says the word 'clearly' I chuck it in, with some veg (ok, they're marrows) and some Russian spices. It'll be ready on Friday the 13th

bellinisurge · 07/12/2019 22:44

Hello, @Walkingdeadfangirl . They exist. I'm one of them. I'm a bit fed up of this thread and the other one because I fit in neither.
I was against No Deal (still am). I accept the result of the referendum. Just as I accept the result of the 2017 election. And will accept the result of this one.
But if it suits your view to say that people who said they were against No Deal were trying to stop Brexit altogether, carry on. Whatever makes you happy.

ArseDarkly · 07/12/2019 22:48

They only come in black Wink
