Farage looks like a pig in sh*t. I loath him. See that EDL and BNP are joining him on his march on the Supreme Court. All over the BBC last night apparently officially Advisor to Trump (though he criticised Obama for 'interfering' in the Brexit debate). This is the man who couldn't even win an election in Thanet. Why has he been given such a platform for so long? The banal, smirking face of a fascist movement on the rise.

If Brexit wasn't personal before, it is now ;-) http://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/entry/toblerone-triangle-change-prompts-fury-from-customers_uk_58218004e4b09d57a9a9b09b

This idea that Clinton and Trump are both as bad as each other is completely wrong. you may not like Hilary much, but Trump! He is extremely dangerous in my opinion. His behaviour has been completely outrageous and should worry any sane person.

Yeah, I must admit, the speedbump thing makes sense. I don't speed generally, but I still find the bumps absolutely infuriating. That might be the one thing that would tempt me into a 4X4

True, I guess he may have been annoyed how the government immediately announced their intention to appeal - or perhaps the way it's invited a firestorm of abuse on the judiciary from the press (he's a barrister I think). Who knows.

I just say - I'm not interested thanks and close the door. Probably could be a bit politer, but it's kind of rude imposing yourself and your views on someone uninvited IMO. I wouldn't dream of knocking on random peoples' doors and asking if they wanted to talk philosophy with me.

He also took a very principled position on the child refugee issue, so fair play to him.

He's in favour of parlimentary scrutiny to be fair. It's May's attempt to push through Brexit without debate that has upset him - so actually quite a consistent and principled position.

I am coming to the opinion that anything short of a hard break with the Union is going to prove impossible. The EU aren't going to allow access to the single market without the responsibilities that go along with it - any of which will be completely unacceptable to huge numbers of Eurosceptic zealots and the rabid, spitting, right wing press (who now claim to have the 'will of the people' on their side). It's hard to see how parliament will accept such an exit (or at least how it can if it's doing it's job properly). This could become intractable.

Eurosceptic Stephen Phillips has just resigned from the Conservatives over May's attempts to circumvent the legislature on Brexit.

...So how much do people think your 'average' 4 bed house in ED is now (natural 3 bedder with loft conversion say)?

... that and the dearth of remotely viable alternative candidates.

TM was never very impressive imo. Her time as home secretary was characterised by periods of bad judgement and a careless approach to civil liberties, interspersed with a penchant for keeping her head down. In fact it was only her talent for ?going missing? when things get difficult which saw her through Brexit in political poll position.

....see also people like Katie Hopkins

As the number of 'content providers' has increased (and so the competition between them), the need to grab people's attention as quickly and with as few words as possible has also accelerated. This has lead to more and more sound bites, memes and click bate headlines. This dumbing down of the public discourse across the media, especially new media opens the field to demagogues like Farage and Trump who know instinctively how to play by the new rules of the game.

Nice flounce

It's personal because it's linked to identity. It's about how we see ourselves and our place in the world.

Are there any artists impressions, or clear plans anyone can link too? Thanks

It does seem to be an 'arms race', I think that's a good analogy. There is definitely something about the psychology of them... 'not being pushed around', 'coming off better in an accident', 'high driving position'... the military 'look' of them. It all a bit siege mentality.

I cant understand why people have started driving around in pseudo-military vehicles. Not too many years ago, everyone laughed at the ridiculous oversized cars they drove in the states. In London SUVs make no sense at all from what I can tell. If you need the space, get an estate, easier to load, faster, better looking (imo) and safer.
