    Yep, and tomorrow he will stand for the opposite.

    Assuming standing doesn't use up too much of his finite energy supply.

And now we have to use it.

    And that's Why I'm Voting Leave.

    Wasn't she in the running to be Tory leader after Cameron?

    She'd have been much better than May, though not as good as Gove.

    You support someone who wants a "patriotic press"?

    Gove is the worst. The man is a frickin' snake for God's sake.

    Over May? Yes.

    I don't see anything wrong with a politician. Saying the press could be more patriotic. I DO see something wrong with a politician compelling the press to be so. As far as I know she's not talking compulsion though.

    Michael Gove can fuck right off.

    Seriously, he needs to consider his position: where does he serve his country better, in government, or in the sea? Going by his past 'contributions'; attempting to fuck of education with his ideologically driven nonsense reforms and helping to bring about Brext, I think 'the sea' is probably the best bet.

    Are you still pretending to be a liberal? Serious question. Just about everything you've said post-Brexit makes you look like a nationalist plain and simple.

    It's worth making a note of what she actually meant by 'patriotic' in this case: do not question the cluster fuck we, the delusional Europhobe ideologues and bargain basement leavings of the previous Tory government, are making of the incredibly serious and important Brexit negotiations, because we're fucking idiots who think we can make the world behave as we want by wishing really hard.

    By doing so, the news media is being more patriotic than she could ever hope to be.

    Again acting as if nationalism is a dirty word. Nationalist and liberal are not antonyms. Authoritarian and liberal are. What did I say that was authoritarian? Oh yes, nothing.

    In Australia the press is far more patriotic than it is in the UK. Though I would more say that the press here is very pessimistic.

    So you see nothing wrong with demanding an end to an independent press as long as no concrete measures are forced upon the press?

    Is it just me or has someone discovered a magic money tree somewhere in England?

    The authors of the study thoroughly discredited the sensationalist interpretation. Not that it will keep the Sun from spreading fake news.

    Yet lefties like you want to give ever more power to the always incompetent state. Funny that.

    What, so, you don't want the state to regulate immigration? Interesting new position.

    I want the state to have as few powers and regulate as minimally, clearly and simply as possible.

    Do you think the state is incompetent over immigration but miraculously competent in other arenas? This is just the tip of the iceberg.

    Do you or do you not want the state to regulate immigration?

    Let me try this one; he's in favor of free migration, but also is a staunch supporter of the present Tory government that seriously wants to kill of migration alltogether. So he doesn't want government to not regulate immigration. And now, don't be a smartypants by pointing out that that is a double negation.
    Congratulations America
