This post was brought to you in the deviant manner of LA.
I've noticed that most terrorist attacks seem to happen on Thursdays, which is really annoying as I look after the kids on Fridays and it's quite hard to spread race-baiting filth on social media with two sprogs tugging at your ankles.

But apart from all the ones that are on other days, Thursday is the most popularQuote:

I'd go for Tuesdays. I usually feel quite nihilistic on a Tuesday.Quote:

They really need to step up their PR and communications department. Its just amateur.
Yes. More funny-sounding than clever, to be fair.Quote:

Yes I find him boring.. i bet he wouldn't like me. his knowledge of the London underground is vastly inferior to mine.Quote:

Populists are characterised by charisma and force of personality and he has none.

But despite all this, you get the same old guff about him 'caring' coming out.Quote:

I still think the theory that they peaked in the last GE is credible and something to cling on to.Quote:

But given the Tories can't mobilise non-voters, that leaves them with the task of persuading swing voters and traditional Tory voters who didn't turn out last time because a) they voted remain and couldn't endorse a so-called hard brexit, or b) wanted to punish May for her hubris, to return to the fold.
There's some hope of success in both categories and that could help them across the line again, I reckon.
Epping to Ruislip central and covent garden to leicester square on the piccadilly line..Quote:

You'd think that people who voted Remain because they didn't want a shock to the economy would surely struggle to vote again for a man who has to war-game a run on the pound if he wins a general election, can they?Quote:

Are you calculating this by the distance of the tube line (essentially as the crow flies) or Google mapping the distance between stations?Quote:

Having walked the buggers, I can confirm that Chesham to Chalfont & Latimer felt the longest distance apart, but with Covent Garden - Lester Sq the accepted closest, it blows the 'on the same line' thing apart. Great Portland Street and Euston Square on the Met are fairly close.Quote:

Surely no-one still cares about Grenfell, though, do they? It was ages ago. The residents have all moved on in the public mind from plucky survivors to whining, freeloading, scrounging (almost certainly) illegal immigrants, haven't they?Quote:
