We are doomed. It's just that whatever is going to kill us all just happens to be, from a scientific standpoint, pretty frickin' awesome.

Damn. I can't say I'm terribly fond of Theresa.

Primarily because she seems to think nobody should have privacy AND she seems even more divorced from the real world than most politicians. I still recall her 'Stay in the EU but ignore the human rights they chose' idea that would work about as well as shoving a hedgehog up your arse to cure cancer.
Nah fam, she clearly only gave lip service to the EU cos she thought Cameron would win

According to the Daily Express, Farage has been disturbed by a surge in daily threats that have worsened dramatically since the vote for a Brexit.
The newspaper claims he gave a police statement about threats made to his family. It is understood those threats were made against his daughters, aged 11 and 16.
Would-be attackers were caught on at least two occasions trying to smuggle knives into EU referendum campaign rallies attended by Farage, the Mirror reports.
Hundreds of messages have also been posted to social media making threats against Farage.
One on Twitter reads: “I will pay for someone to shoot Nigel Farage.”
Another says: “Punch, stab or shoot: Nigel Farage, Boris Johnson and Michael Gove. Go! #PunchStabOrShoot.”
The Daily Express says Farage’s family life has also been under strain, which contributed to his standing down.

From what I know of British naming convention the Independent is probably a traditonalist Europhile rag peddling the intentions of Eternal Queen Lizzie and the New World Order.

They were fairly awesome, very unbiased and professional news agency, until they were bought by the mastermind behind making online clickbait. Now they're like the Guardian, if the Guardian put no effort into their articles

It's a sad state :[

Announcing the "digital-only" move, ESI Media said "some redundancies among editorial employees" would be made.

It's easy to forget how groundbreaking the Independent was when it launched. It looked strikingly modern, it came with none of the partisan baggage of 1980s politics and in an era of bitter industrial disputes that blighted rivals such as the Times, it carved out a large readership.

It was arguably better than the BBC at times

Now, they have been taken on a bold new commercially successful model... Inspired by Buzzfeed.
Now the independent is basic bitch

I love how thanks to its courageous vote to not have unelected officials decide its law, Britain will now be led by a woman that wasn't elected for the job.

I... have no fucking clue how the EU works. But I like it. It seems pretty cool.

Hard science is like a sword, and soft science is like fear. You can use both to equally powerful results, but even if your opponent disbelieve your stabs, they will still die.

The Leader appoint the Commissioner, and vote with other leaders to validate it. But then, the leader also vote on every pieace of law, and the directly elected European Parliament also vote on everything (Except Farage, who grab his money and come once in a while to insult people in front of cameras).
