Its a real mess over there. They can't vote for the May deal because it sucks, they can't get a better deal because they have no leverage, they won't call an election because they will lose, and they won't vote no-confidence in May because no other Tory wants to be on the hot seat.

Its a cmopletely failed government just limping along desperately clinging to power, and might limp right into a no-deal Brexit.

Nobody asked you to debate neo nazis or ISIS, although you might want to give it a try. It's part of how you beat them.

It's interesting though that you couldn't come up with a single response to an aging rock star.
Debate people who don't share any of the same fundamental moral precepts you do.

There's no way to do it, because none of it is rational.
I can beat neo nazis and ISIS in a debate very easily.

To date I have no idea what your moral precepts are.

Only two individuals have been banned in the history of this forum:
one was a one-note Johnny with regards to Muslims, the other was some nutter who was rude, tried to expose member's identities, and to hack the forum.
I was banned temporarily a number of times.

The account of British conspiracy theorist YouTuber Carl Benjamin, better known as Sargon of Akkad, was removed Thursday. This followed the removal in August of U.S. far-right political commentator James Allsup.

The ban will be a particular blow for Benjamin, who was earning more than $12,000 a month from the crowdfunding site. He did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Bad news for free speech.

Also, can anyone name a conspiracy theory advanced by Sargon of Akkad.

Thanks for the links.
If you were a Muslim living in the Middle East your life certainly meant much less to barack obama, judging by his drone program, Syria/Libya policy, etc.

He was (is?) just a huge fan of his cultural background.

Certainly.

But now the evil Obama is gone and the GOP is in charge, and they love all races and religions equally.

I complained about drones constantly. Every president since Carter could plausibly be accused of war crimes.

But you didn't complain about obama using drones. You didn't complain about any racist actions from obama or any other prominent Democrat.

Yep. The modern day political equivalent of Paul Erlich's Population Time Bomb or Rachel Carson's Silent Spring.

The gentleman speaking, Gyles Brandreth, is a former British Conservative MP.
I can only dream that J-politicians shared his level of perception, understanding, and wit.

As for predictive models, "they" have already done so.

I've consulted with President Trump on the possibility of BREXIT. And I am authorized to inform England, Scotland, Ireland, and Wales that if the EU continues to be a bunch c*nts. They can become the 51st, 52nd, 53rd, and 54th states of the US.

The only they need to decide is how they rank each other before they join the US.

They'd be better off with a common market union - free trade union with parts of the Commonwealth; Australia, New Zealand, Canada, and India.
