I get uncomfortable when I see Gove on my TV. It's not just the lies he's spews, it's something about his aura on tv.

It's very unnerving.

He'd lose the Torries votes if he was PM, maybe that would be a good thing... the damage might already be done though.

I hope it's better than episode 9 last season. Also a shame this probably isn't just going to be a 60 minute battle episode like the Neil Marshall episodes Watchers on the Wall or Blackwater featuring one part of the story.

If this wasn't another, I can't imagine they'd have time to do another with only 13 episodes left after this season. That said, who knows where the story is going after this season?

Well he'll probably still be the first player to 100 goals in the Champions League, but people remember these tournaments more.

...And Ronaldo gets a penalty within a minute of my post.

If Portugal fail to qualify from this despite their first two games being against the easiest teams in the tournament ouch.

Gove or Boris, I can see it. Little englanders are fucking out in force this summer, stirred up by the mail & the sun. & the Tories'll like them both at least initially, they will give them what Dave wouldn't. It's definitely an interesting sociological era. Just sometimes it's unfortunate we have to be the ones who live it..

You know what they think of us though right?

I lived in England for a while. Alot think we're foreigners and don't even know Northern Ireland is a country, despite their passports or think it's just terrorism here.

Considering what unionists here think it's ironic. I know, I grew up in a unionist area.

People here think they're British or Irish with some thinking we're Northern Irish. Most English would call themselves English and those that do call themselves British (still don't think of Northern Ireland as being part of it).

Is it any surprise how the Scottish feel?

I think Dave has to resign unless he's pulling a 2nd referendum play.

That said if demographics show huge divide between those under 30 and those over, along with the Scottish and Northern Irish then he'd be justified. Especially if it's low turnout. I'd be surprised though.

If this is a landslide yes vote, like it looks like it could be... then he has no ground to stand on. I can't believe Boris would be PM though.

The political class have failed across the board. I'm surprised, but also not, at the state we've gotten ourselves into.

It's a collective failure. We haven't been vigilant, thorough or honest enough. It really does make me sad.

I'm worried there'll be another war in 50 years. The world at this point should be getting to a point where we are more civilized and less likely to wish harm upon others.

It really does seem though that people of our generation don't want what our parents did. Unfortunately our generation is lazy and don't vote.

The media all of it has their own agenda, The Sun, Daily Mail ect which are fucking tabloids which no one should be taking seriously are instruments of propaganda. Worse than Fox news.

You know the Mail once printed a story in another era about how we shouldn't fear fascism and praising Hitler?
