It goes out under the authority of the Guardian brand though. It just reeks of hatred. DM is obviously right wing and articles will point out flaws and mock the left but not displaying personal hatred from the author like this. |

Not really a valid comparison though Possibly you have seen that viral video of him clapping weirdly. The hands flailing about, rapidly cycling through different styles of clapping, each more bizarrely incorrect than the last. The wet lips pursing and unpursing in mysterious supplication. He seems just terribly, irreducibly wrong in himself. If I had to describe him visually, I would go for something like “ghost of identical twin killed and eaten in utero by Rick Moranis”. Which is to say that in trying to encapsulate the Goveness of Gove, I find myself instinctively reaching for a register of the uncanny, the supernatural. |

Oh yes, how hysterical to reminisce at that. Not really a valid comparison though I wasn't comparing. I was reminded of an old newspaper report about someone clapping by a new newspaper report of someone clapping. My use of laughter in referencing the description of "clapping soviet style" was to ridicule such a description. |

Today's the day. The choice between pro-business or pro-state.
Thank god we have more moderate politics in Canada is all I can say. As a centrist liberal I feel utterly alienated when I try to talk to other british people about politics. |

Re: UK General Election
I wonder if the Daily Mirror will print an edition today or are they all drowning in their lefty tears and still trying to figure out how Comrade Jeremy lost an election.

Re: UK General Election
Well if you treat your traditional voter base with derision, call them names, ignore their wishes complain about the inevitable seems a bit weak.
On the plus side if you want to be leader of the LD an opportunity has arisen. |

He can now dig out his little blue 'Lenin' hat that he stopped wearing in case it made him look like a commie.....

But here we are, a Tory majority in an unofficial Brexit referendum dressed up as an official election, because Brexit was the major issue of the election. Boris now has his majority to do whatever he chooses to, so if we don't leave the EU on January 31st, it's down to no-one but the Tories. He won't be able to blame Labour or anyone else. |
