Farage is going to become an immigrant and take a job away from a US citizen?
2016 is the year satire died.
I mean, the fact he had a party thrown in his honour to celebrate smashing the establishment at the fucking Ritz, hosted by the owners of the Telegraph is one thing but come the fuck on...
Nah, he's unskilled labour.

The one thing I can get on board with from that party is that he was handing out Ferro Rocher, which is a good joke.

Jo Cox's case is reminding me that I am deeply saddened that nobody in the press appears to be shaming Farage for his reprehensible "We won without a single bullet being fired" comment in the aftermath of the Brexit vote.
Do we have anything in the US that's as bad as the Daily Mail?
I think the worst I've ever seen was a cover recently that said that Steve Irwin's death was actually a suicide. Which really just made me laugh out loud in the checkout isle.
Channel 4 news is worth watching in addition to the BBC I reckon.
I've not really been impressed by the little I've seen on Sky news and I couldn't tell you the last time I saw ITV news.
Channel 5 news barely qualifies; the channel's own output is generally awful (is it still owned by the guy who owns the Express?) although it seems to get a tonne of American shows.
from that Guardian piece, listing all the things the Mail featured before it covered the Jo Cox verdict.
The story about Mair’s sentence came after a full 17 pages welcoming the verdict of an “upbeat chancellor” confounding those dastardly “remain doom-mongers”. In the pages that followed this autumn statement coverage came news reports about “laughing migrants”, photos of a bikini-clad model taking a shower and the headline news that Santa is not real. They also featured a full-page column asking why leftwing comics laugh at the Queen.
because of course that's the kind of story those dour cunts would consider headline news.
I think my favourite memory of the Daily Mail is back from 2008, when - if I remember correctly - the Mumbai attacks took place. I distinctly remember heading into a shop and seeing the array of newspaper front pages discussing them, calling them "Disastrous", "Awful", etc., etc. Standard newspaper coverage of a horrific global event.
And then there was the Mail.
"TRAGEDY", its front page declared; "BINS NOT BEING COLLECTED."
Football Manager Has Three More Brexit Plans Than UK Government
“Of course none of us know what will happen, it changes on a daily basis," Sports Interactive's studio director Miles Jacobson told the Telegraph. “Six weeks ago I would have predicted a soft Brexit, but after the Conservative Party conference a hard Brexit is much more likely.
“The first option for the game was to have just one scenario and that would be it, Brexit done, but it’s not possible to come out with one outcome and it won’t be until all the negotiations are done. As a result we’ve decided to go down another route, and have included every possible outcome in the game, using artificial intelligence and percentage chances to make every game different."
What this means in practice is that, two to 10 years into your Football Manager 2017 playthrough, the in-game UK government will begin trade negotiations, and a year later there will be one of three outcomes. A 'soft Brexit' is the best possible outcome, because it has no impact on the freedom of movement of players. The second outcome sees freedom of movement scrapped, but footballers granted an exemption that makes it easier to obtain work permits. The third, hard Brexit, sees every non-UK player subject to the rules that now apply to non-EU players – so a lot less talent, at a much higher cost.
nice to see there's at least someone putting some thought into the whole affair.

Clearly the opposition will do som... oh what's that they fucking abstained? Carry on.
edit: I was going to sign this petition but then I realised the time to act was before it passed not now and labour were completely useless so what's the fucking point. Plus this is just an extension to bollocks Blair began.
That is without considering the Tory majority. Fucking useless.
Labour are busy patting themselves on the back over this because they got concessions out the tories so it's not quite as terrible.
Yup. Abstained. Lib Dems opposed. I'm liking Timmy and his lot; they can't achieve much at the moment but they'll need support to be able to do so in future, and certainly for now they have my axe.
Wasn't the sole extent of the concessions Labour got the removal of one word that didn't change anything anyway? I seem to recall reading something about that but I'm jiggered if I can remember where.

I wonder how that's even supposed to work. Like what is 'my' full browsing history? I don't pay an ISP, but I use my sister's internet every day. So if they want to search my history, do they go checking for an ISP that has a record of me? Or any time I've entered my name into a form?
