only problem with Picard is it feels like i'm watching some strange outtakes from Logan

Yeah I can see that.   Although that was a top film so maybe no bad thing? Just have to keep reminding yourself he's Picard and not Xavier

FIrst episode of Picard was great

Second really good also.  Really starting to take shape.  I'm loving the 'grown-up ' aspect to this series.  Star trek without the sugar coating. 

Couldn't be bothered to add the onions or garlic 

Looks like a dog or a bear

Because.... ?

Go on, what don’t you like?

Briefly.  Constant knifing of Jez. Far too far to the centre. I'm looking for a socialist labour party, and I don't believe she is. 

RLB is potentially going to win it. But I'm not sure she's up to it. Doesn't inspire me TBH. Jez did.  I like King Clive, but I doubt he's going to stand.  Angela Rayner I also rate, but she's probably going for deputy. The Wild Thornberry might be a good shout.  

**** it. I'm a paid up member of the hemp smelling bivouac party anyway.

Christ.  Lost my vote and interest immediately.  She's also got no chance, thankfully.  Horrendous character.

TBF it was one of the most mail-esque posts I've ever seen from him.  

King Clive for me.  Ticks the ethnic minority box, top guy, ex army which may appeal to some voters on the right.  On the left, so electable in terms of party membership.

People just don't like the bloke is the logical conclusion ?

 

Far more to it than that.  He/ Labour did pretty well just over 2 years ago.  What's Jez done over the proceeding 2 years to then warrant such dislike? Whereas de Pfeffel has cheated, insulted, lied, etc, etc.

I totally get what you say though about seeking help from the professionals. 

Only 1 of them is still alive, but worth a shot I guess

"'to stop Brexit' after their party name. is a good move, isn't it?

Is that allowed on the ballot paper, or have they officially changed their name to "The lib dems: to stop Brexit" ?

And as john Curtis pointed out today, all Labour needs is to deny the Torys a majority. And Brexit is stopped.

Isn't that where we are currently?

They'll find a new objection. They may well go for the GoNU after 31st though

IMO, Labour would be foolish to go for a GE before Brexit has been sorted, one way or the other.  

They want and need a GE to be about social justice, foodbanks, NHS, austerity etc, not brexit. 

So I'm with Bicks, GoNU best option.

Yeah, I have a weird thing for her too.

I need therapy.

Me too. I think it's the devil's dumplings that do it. 

Clive Lewis would be the man, for me.  Mostly shares JC's ethos.  More pro Europe. 

Can probably build some party bridges too.  

Plus he ticks the ethnic diversity box.

An excellent day's work I feel. (I'm not even being ironic either) (Though I guess this tightrope-walk could still end in disaster yet)

Yep.  I think they've just reiterated their existing position? 

I think that's the correct option at this point in time.  Vote-wise anyway.

no it needs cordoning off and turning in to a tourist attraction whilst the people who work there are moved to a modern building that's fit for purpose

Spot on. It's a relic and unfit to be used in 2019 as the building of our parliament.  We don't house prisoners in the tower of London.  H of P should go the same way.  Open it up to the paying public/ tourists.  Let it pay its own way.  

Create a modern building for MPs in brum or Manchester, fit for 21st century parliamentary business. Let's take 'democracy ' out of London.

I'm far from "posh", but I seem to have a habit of making a bit of a nob of myself whenever I talk to anyone who works in a typical "bloke" job. any kind of interaction with tradesman, and I channel my inner-dickhead.

I took my car in to have its alloys redone this morning. I was waiting for the mechanic guy to turn up, and when he did, I introduced myself, and he held out his hand. I couldn't decide whether he was going to shake my hand or take the key, so I reached out mine, put the key in his hand, and shook his hand in one gesture, like I was tipping him a car or something.

The look of "wtf" on his face is going to pop in to my head and taunt me occasionally for years to come.

Partridge-esque.  Good work!
