Capt. Malcolm "Mal" Reynolds: Jayne, how many weapons you plan on bringing? You only got the two arms.
Jayne: I just get excitable as to choice- like to have my options open.

We can rely upon this guy to provide us with a commentary which will offend all in equal measure:


I believe he is spot on.

Would vote tactically for anyone who can best oust the Tories, frankly.

the last decade + the brexit fiasco and now Boris the Eton liar is enough to convince me practically anything else would be miles better.

in a labour area I’d vote labour if favourite, simply to try help the NHS from this certain US sell-off dream the tories have. I don’t live in an area where labour are a credible alternative...

I find myself struggling to pay attention to what he's saying even on the 3 minute video. Couldn't really disagree with any of the content. Surprised at the suggestion anyone would find any of it offensive though.

JS won the leadership contest by virtue of her intersectional attributes and seems to be promoting the same in this election. David Starkey described her quite astutely the other day, head teacher of a rather preachy primary school I think it was. It would be great to see her win though and have to deal with the consequences.

Did anyone make such a suggestion? I dislike his voice and delivery so shut it off.

You seem to have it in for JS. What are her intersectional attributes, that she's a woman? Since becoming leader her huge ambition and feisty attitude explain far better why she was chosen.

The post with the video #216.

Superficially she seems quite promising, the more you look though...

Young (ish) although not by the standards she was advocating 15 years ago, female yes that seems to be about it when put to her and Ed Davey when they were interviewed on Newsnight during the leadership election. Feisty, well ok maybe she’s going to sing a verse from Wilson Philips Hold On next.

The problem with Swinson is she belongs to a party that states that it wants to revoke art 50, BUT the only way she will get into power is by power sharing with Johnson, and she will NOT get him to agree to stopping Brexit. She certainly fits the Tory Mould, voted with every policy they have put forward until the Brexit votes.
