this is really more about getting May out from under that “temporary caretaker government” shadow after Cameron left?
I don’t think she is seen as a “temporary caretaker government” at all, she was the overwhelmingly popular candidate for Party Leader/PM. I think it’s more about shutting up dissenting voices (of all parties) in Parliament of the “Yes we agree you’ve got a mandate for Brexit, Prime Minister… but not this kind of Brexit!” variety. She’s going to ask the country clearly and directly “Do you want a Brexit on my terms?”. The electorate will most probably answer, “Yes please!” emphatically and she can get on with the business of doing just that.
Is my understanding correct that this isn’t really expected to change anything substantive? i.e. the people, parliamentary percentages, policies, etc, aren’t really expected to change much at all
Not really, I think things will change quite a bit because the Labour opposition party will most likely be wiped out due in large part to how deeply unpopular their leader (and cabinet) is, which I’m sad to say is probably for their own good in the medium to long term. Hopefully the Lib-Dem party will get back some seats after they were annihilated at the last election.
I think the general consensus is that the Conservative party will win.
This is possibly a misjudgement. When Gordon Brown the most unpopular PM for aeons finally got around to doing what May is doing here after inheriting a gulf war mess from Blair all the Tories could manage was a coalition. They were expected to lose the last election or have to make another coalition with UKIP or some other party.
The secret ingrediant to their majority was Brexit. UKIPers flipped sides to insure they got the referendum. Scotland evicted Labour for supporting the Conservatives and the Liberals lost their nice guy image propping up the Tories in coalition and breaking their manifesto pledges.
We have now a slightly different world. Brexit has happenend, it can’t unhappen so UKIP doesn’t need to exist anymore. Austerity isn’t working and isn’t popular. The SNP need someone the can do business with in Downing Street and May is not that PM.
Corbyn has always been anti-EU (just like Tony Benn). The old Labour zealots that voted Tory to get Brexit may return to the fold now that Brexit is unavoidable. The people that voted Tory as a protest against Blair and Brown will now vote Green rather than vote for the Tories.
My prediction Corbyn will suprise everyone by narrowly winning with the remainers voting against the Conservatives with the same zeal that the Brexiteers voted for them.
That’s if he stays of the hills and doesn’t have a heart attack.
Close but no cigar.

It used to be TenFourFox because I had a truly ancient PowerBook G4 now I used Firefox because self destructing cookies mostly and Ublock origin.
I think she can wamp herself.

I really miss SSWR and the idea of putting Anakin’s main gripes with Windu is a great idea.
[TV’s Frink said
BREAKING: Trump announces withdrawal from Paris climate accord, but says U.S. will begin negotiations to re-enter agreement.

It looks very much like the original puppet head.
Will it replace all other Wampa heads?That’s the idea.
I read this in Tommy Wiseau’s voice.
I wrote it in Greedo’s voice.
Yes I bet you have…BANG!!
Wilf is not accessible on this phone.
There is a YouTube channel of two French guys reacting to television shows. They got me using ze French Werdz instead of conventional swears.
It would be cool to see that head super imposed onto the Wampa in the deleted scenes during the wampa attack in the base.
That deleted scene isn’t happening for this edit.
It might make for an interesting curio though like restoring the deleted score segments in isolated scenes. Extras but not part of the main edit. Like the anaglyphic Jabba in the first revisited

I didn’t see many flies on the walls of the original trilogy.
Death is a pretty crappy thing for a mind to have to process generally but to lose a child and in such a senseless fashion is utterly awful. What goes through the minds not so much of the killers but the people who brainwash and equip them it’s too alien too not of the same sphere as us. All the hugs DS, take them all.
the Assembly cut of Alien 3 is much improved. The story makes sense. I would trim some of the dialogue away. Particularly the bits where Ripley almost breaks the forth wall by acknowledging she is in the final part of a three part story. And half the profanity can go to be honest. It might be accurate for that sort of environment but it fucking distracting 😄
Other than that its a good film with atmosphere and a plot that finally makes sense.
One of the volunteers at work played this for me and now I just can’t get it out of my head :

So in case you didn’t know:
Are you ready for a monumental Doctor Who experience? For the first time in the show’s 54-year span, Peter Davison, Colin Baker, Sylvester McCoy, Paul McGann, David Tennant, Matt Smith and Peter Capaldi are meeting up to break bread, fish fingers and custard… with YOU. Trust us. You and a companion will join these seven brilliant Doctors for this history-making meal in the private dining room of the iconic Wolseley Restaurant in London. We can only imagine what the conversation will be like. This is truly a legendary opportunity and will likely go down as the most epic breakfast in television history. So don’t blink! Flights provided by British Airways and hotel accommodations at The Ned, Soho House’s newest hotel, also included.
What about Tom Baker and Christopher Eccleston?
See The Five Doctors and Day of the Doctor for clues 😄
I’ve already had them for breakfast.
Once again I feel duty bound to throw my hat into the ring here.
- Alien (5balls) perfect film.
- Assembly Cut of Alien 3 (3balls) too much swearing and some of the effects are dated but very atmospheric. If only they had just left Vincent Ward alone to make the film they had paid him to develop and direct.
- Aliens (2andahalfballs) one of the best action films of that decade and quotable but tatty and lazy.
- AVP (2balls) much better than it should be given the premise but still very silly and unnecessary.
- Alien Resurrection (1andahalfballs) some good ideas but the tone is way off. The only good thing to come out of the project was half a season of Firefly and Serenity.
- Prometheus (a ball) the same plot as AVP only making less sense but with even more stupid characters. Looks nice though.
- AVP Requiem. (infinitenegativeballs) 80s style Friday 13th rip-off with the worst lighting in any film. One scene actively subverts the best scene in the first film by making pregnant women the victims instead of John Hurt’s unwelcome pregnancy. Offensively awful.
Alien Covenant is the new 7 AVP:R is very similar with its 80s slasher cheese.
I’m still hoping Frink would add Slippy from StarFox, he is the in game homage to Porkins.
Not gonna happen.
Thanks Guys
You are a real tonic.
Broccoli spag with flat leaf parsley, garlic, crushed chilies, pine nuts and cheese.
^This but now we grow the chilies as well as the parsley, garlic and broccoli. Can’t yet grow the pine nuts, cheese or spag. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tVo_wkxH9dU
