Basi. Yote ni sawa sawa sasa.
(For the benefit of non-Swahili speakers, now you know which language to look up.)
Rotten Google translation. Basi means all right, OK, fair enough, etc. Sawa sawa means good, all right, etc. Sass means now.

@Petter I've said before Google translation is no bueno with Swahili!

@Amzungu2 Kwele, ni mbaya sana!

Being from Kenya, many of my friends went to Oz. They give me their opinions on the Liberal-National party - frequently!

@Petter But are they Pro-LNP or Anti-LNP impressions?

@Triphid Being proud, intelligent, no bullshit colonials, what do you think?

@Petter Anti-LNP I'm guessing.
Proud son of a true Aussie hard rock, underground miner here, staunch Anti-LNP, full on Unionist and even stronger supporter of a Fair Go for the 'Rank and File' here.

@frayedbear what's your opinion?

As a result of performing on air poetry like this and telling the godbothering National party lovers that they were a bunch of ineffective housewives pretending to operate a community radio station they threw me out off the organisation paranoid that I would do to them what they had done to others!

She weakened her own hand by calling a general election, and then letting her two "favourites" write the party manifesto and deliberately not consulting her ministers. When the manifesto was published I took one one look and predicted the Tory party would lose the election. It was only after the disastrous result that she finally got rid of her cronies. She is inept and easily outmanoeuvred. Just what Britain did NOT need.

I the conservatives let people vote again then: a, It will show how they failed to deliver. So ok everyone knows they have but politics is about face. b, It will tear them apart. The brexiters in the tory party will resign and the party will split. That would leave the door wide open for Corbyn who is their worst nightmare. c, All the brexit votes (and thats over 1/2 the country) will never vote for them again.
Its a fucking shambles

@273kelvin I've never understood what is to be gained by BREXIT.

@Sticks48 There were some good reasons. Not too many but some. The EU is a giant bureaucratic monolith, rife with corruption. Immigrant labor does bring down the market for jobs. We have a welfare state and thats incompatible with open borders. Also sovereignty is a big issue. Imagine if the US supreme court was no longer the final say?

Well, parliament has just resoundly said no to a motion calling for a long extension to Brexit in order to give time for a second referendum.
There may be a short extension approved by the 27 EU countries, but a single objection would mean no extension. Thereby making a "no deal" Brexit pretty likely, despite any parliamentary motions.
P.S. Ever considered the irony of calling Parliamentary proposals "motions"... ???

@Sticks48 Fortunately, although I carry a British passport, I live in Spain and originate from Kenya. Therefore, I can maintain a dispassionate overview of the whole sad, sorry business.

No thanks - May is horror enough!

You get the chance to vote him out in 2020. We are stuck with this shit forever

@Petter: Seldom have I seen a more inept government than the British Conservative party and its handling of the Brexit negotiations.

Trump: Hold my beer.....

Possibly.

Pretty much as the Australian Liberal-National Party does to the Labor Party, i.e. the LNP fucks everything up, BIG time, then when the get the Order of the D.C.M. ( Don't Come Monday) at the next election they blame Labor for it.
