5) fish puns
6) top five lists that have the wrong number of items

Is war in Syria not enough? No, we need a better war, one with a well-defined enemy, a clear objective, and popular support. Falklands 2 would be ideal, a remake of Iraq War (1990 - 91 version, ignoring the post 2003 narratives as they are not canon), or something a little more unexpected, maybe Iceland or South Africa, even Cuba. |

>>poor level of political understanding and engagement among the electorate
I would say this is partly due to the death of the unions. When people in the general workforce were engaged with unions they were more politically aware.
Thatcherite policies to kill the unions weren't just about unions having too much control. (They didn't. The problem was using the power for the wrong agenda. E. G. Jakie bam gets the sack from shipyard for drinking in toilet all day instead of working... "Everybody out..") The policies were to disenfranchise the general public from political discourse.
It's this and Kim Kardashians arse*
*The rise of nonsense TV and mass media.

You all missed the open goal "Jeremy Corbin reveals his plan for Theresa May"... the plan is flawed because it presumes there is a brain left to eat. Frankly all there is left is a settled apathy, a gradual wasting away of the person, and frequent although transient reactions of a partially cataleptical character. Whether the hyenas on the right or the buzzards get there first doesn't matter ...
And a second referendum would throw this country into a likely violent crisis... whatever you think of Brexit (I HATE it and all the racist, narrow-minded jingoistic quasi-fascist sentiment it has licensed), you can NOT conduct government via plebiscite. The honest truth is that the majority of voters in this country rely on the demagogic, often exaggerated, dishonest, self-seeking soundbites of the entrenched factions rather than thinking things through or even applying the most basic of sanity checks to these pronouncements.

@chatterbooks
I have been reading Fintan O'Toole's book about Brexit. It is excellent. Can't wait to find out what happens at the end.

I think the only thing we can all agree on is that none of know what's going to happen

I hear Yemen is nice this time of year as as well.
Some of the defensive positions around Aden we built in the 60s probably still exist.

Ruritania doesn't have nuclear weapons, it does have a sizable standing army, and is technologically inferior to the British armed forces. It's ideal for a pre-emptive defensive strike against it, and really the only way for us to get out of this Brexit mess.

Nothing of importance there.

We should just annex the Irish Republic thereby solving the border issue.

These are all sensible suggestions. I'm glad Amipal doesn't seem to be around to ruin it by suggesting we invade France.

Your face is pretty damaging to democracy. I don't think you should stand for that, Chumbles. How insensitive. You know Chumbles has difficulty getting out of his hoist to stand. |

We need an interstellar war to unite everyone. And Ray guns. Lots of them.

All 4 advanced jobs obtained on to Chapter 2, I may be a tad over-leveled Advanced or second jobs? If you've already got all advanced jobs you are indeed massively OP for Chapter 2. If you mean second jobs, there are naturally eight... I'm just keep on doing side quests. Solving them, getting more. Now very much tempted taking Olberic to the final boss. I've been levelling him up so that he can get past anyone blocking a door because I can't be bothered with H'aanit's pets, and the damage he dishes out with the right kind of weapon is impressive. But first I've got to find the final boss... |

Sorry about changing the topic. Interstellar war, yes. Get in there before Trump gets funding for his Spaceforce (the way things are going with the Wall this can take some time). Make sure that the Chinese don't get a monopoly on the moon's cheese resources! Plucky Brits Wallace and Gromit have shown how! Hurrah!
Where are our Elite players? They've got to do their bit, too!
