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.

🎄 🌟 🎁 🍸 🥜 🦃 🎅

What is his Ben Elton crap?

I have no idea, but I can predict he is a hypocritical grammar/private school lovie who is a PC warrior and rails against 'rich' people behind his tax evading millionaires accountant.

@Walkingdeadfangirl - morning answer to an evening question:

"So question: If you were an MP would you have voted for TM deal on 1st/2nd/3rd attempt, what about the Boris Brexit deal? And would you have voted for them at all stages to get them through parliament? "

Yes. It was, in my view, a national interest thing. I lobbyied for it on here and wrote to my MP to do it.
There is no Tory Brexit or Labour Brexit. Just Brexit. I didn't vote for it, i still don't want it but it has to happen and the parties should be fighting to be in pole position to be the UK government that negotiates the actual deal not still arguing the toss over the WA.
Protect the NI/Ireland border and avoid No Deal. Those were and remain the only two things I care about in this shit show.

Morning, All,

Missed all the excitement last night. I see the Alternative Dusty is just as confused as ever. However, a warm hello to MichaelFabricantsHair (fabulous username) who has definitely caught the zeitgeist of the thread. Smile

Going back to the wildly differing polls earlier. The sample size of the YouGov one is relatively small, so greater margin for error. The Savanta one, The One In Which Jezza Catches Up, was commissioned by Remainers United so I'm guessing the questions they wanted the pollsters to ask were very very specific. However - and in this, I go back to my media training (75% delivered by the BBC and the other 25% by the Home Office Press Corps) - and ask myself: who is the audience? Who reported the results? The Jezza Catches Up one was given prominence over several others that said differently by the Daily Mail. Now whatever you might think of that fine publication, it has a wide reach among a particular demographic. I think it was meant to galvanise voters to get out of their chairs, brave the weather, and vote to keep Jezza out. Just a thought.

Kettle's on. ☕️☕️☕️Smile

Good morning, Bellini.

Twattage13 · 08/12/2019 08:24

Lily I agree - the Observer (left-leaning) puts the Tories 15% ahead and the Mail (right-leaning) puts the Tories only 6% ahead. I also have media training and have the same conclusion as you. The polls are designed to send the message that everyone needs to get out and vote...we shall see how close it really is on Thursday...

SingingLily · 08/12/2019 08:54

Morning, Twattage!

Exactly so. It's the final spur. Let's not forget that Dmitri always wanted a wobble in the polls in the last week before GE day for that very reason.

I'll say what I said prior to 23 June 2016...if I have to crawl over broken glass, I'd still drag myself to the polling station. And I'm ferrying some of my elderly neighbours there too so the weather can do its worst.

In 1997, I did the previously unthinkable and voted Labour because John Major had stopped listening to people like me. Last night, I watched a retired miner - a Labour man born and bred - explaining with a catch in his voice why he would be doing the unthinkable and voting Conservative on Thursday. Change is coming. If Boris or any of his team are reading this, don't let this man down. He is lending you his vote, his precious vote. Don't you dare let him down.

EntropyRising · 08/12/2019 09:17

We are already (under Johnson) on our way to becoming an autocracy.

Specifically, in what sense? We are currently in the midst of an election which may see him unseated from power, so this is a curious point of view.

On the other hand, you have Corbyn tweeting support for Evo Morales, the Bolivian autocrat who ran a referendum to try to extend his stay in office and didn't like the results, so he re-ran it with the help of some heavies fiddling the ballot box, and then had to be removed from power by way of a coup?

Limer · 08/12/2019 09:31

Morning everyone, gosh, it all kicked off on here last night! Just read through and was particularly confused by the two Dustys, until I worked out which was which.

Brilliant memes! And Michael Fabricant's astonishing Hair is not that dissimilar to Boris's and The Donald's. Is there a right-wing gene on the Y chromosome that's causing this?

Not bloody Ben Elton again! I thought we'd seen the last of him in 1987!

Polls are interesting, I can believe some people might think, "oh well, if those are the numbers, my vote won't make any difference". My Remainer son & his Remainer girlfriend decided to go to Glastonbury a day early on 23rd June 2016, so didn't bother to vote in the Referendum. How I laughed Grin And still do, whenever the opportunity presents itself Grin

Goodness, we are packed to the rafters! In the spirit of #ComradeLily’s traditions. I have prepped you all a nice hearty breakfast, of
🥓 🥞 🍳 and ☕️. There are also croissants 🥐 for those who fancy a ‘lighter’ bite.

It’s on the bar, and it’s on the house!
Enjoy folks!

You're such a generous publican, epic shit, thanks. Wink

Unfortunately I think I ate some bad prawn pad thai last night so I'll just sit on my bar stool clutching a sick bowl.

EntropyRising · 08/12/2019 09:48

I'm watching the Andrew Marr show, McDonnell is on today. Surely he is the scariest man in GB.

GreenishMe · 08/12/2019 09:49

Morning everyone.....are the sausages vegetarian Epic?

Had problems with my laptop freezing yesterday while I was plotting my political map so didn't come back until last night....when there was a very confusing conversation going on involving the alternative Dusty and Ben Elton.

I decided not to get involved and went to bed instead. My brain just couldn't compute what was going on :)

Limitedsimba123 · 08/12/2019 09:50

I don’t completely agree with PPs comment re autocracy but if the Torys get a majority and they do go ahead and curtail Judicial Review, abolish our independent Judiciary, and reform HoL as per their manifesto, and implement more Henry VIII powers via the WAB, our checks and balances system will be irreparably damaged.

GreenishMe · 08/12/2019 09:54

What time is Andrew Marr on....about midday? I need to watch. The more I see this man, the more he's becoming like the anti-christ.

GreenishMe · 08/12/2019 09:55

John McDonnell....not Andrew Marr!

EpicShitDippedBatBiscuit · 08/12/2019 09:58

I have veggie sausages, vegan sausages, frothy oat milk cappuccinos and even a generous teaspoon of thin watery marrow milk for Corbyn’s coffee. Wink

I wonder if he will ask him about his mumsnet ‘chat’. 😂
