BRFR Cake Stop 'breaking news' miscellany

[Pblakeney]

What's a term for holding many contradictory opinions simultaneously? I would expect ancient Greek or modern French philosophers to have a term for it.

I read it as realising Brexit wasn't the promised unicorns and sunlit uplands.

No, it's just a not entirely serious question about philosophers.

Do you mean you ask 'not entirely serious questions' on social media (or maybe even in real life)? Tush, sir!

Life is but a game...

But do we get scores on the doors?

But do we get scores on the doors?

You could have them on your tombstone. An example:-
Here lies Lord Berners
One of the learners
His great love of learning
May earn him a burning
But, Praise the Lord!
He seldom was bored.

Obviously this is the voter that UK political parties should be targeting. Totes consistent.

Voters are people.

People are not rational.

It's why I think Starmer is nuts to be chasing voters who 'think' like this, as they'll only change their minds once he's arrived on their doorstep. It does suggest that his Brexit 'red lines' aren't the vote-winner he thinks they are, at the very least.

People also change their minds, not that Brian is allowing that in this situation, yet Brian was once a Tory voter.....

Say it isn't so.

It's true, Brian confessed on Cake Stop to having voted for the nasty Torwies in the past. Which might explain why he's trying quite hard to gain favour with the CCNCAP lefties.

I once tactically voted lib dem. Didn't work. We still got SNP.

Slightly different situation now; if you were still North of the border and wanted shot of of the SNP, then you'd need to vote Reform...

I tend to just not vote, rather than hold my nose and vote Tory.

Sorry, Reform. Easy mistake to make.

Either way, getting rid of leftie/ nationalist leftie administrations (or keeping them out of power) is a worthy cause. I even started a long-running thread about about that on Bike Radar 😊
