They will be looking at themselves thinking 'why doesn't that idiot stop talking'.

I wrote a piece, clearly satirical, on the britnat Final solution to the Scottish Question, and was attacked by nationalists (which I enjoyed for a while) because folks believed it. <br /><br />That it to say, that it was clearly satirical was not clear enough. Ended up having to include a "THIS IS SATIRE" below the headline. Kinda spoils it in my book. Oh well . . .<br /><br />It absolutely is a measure of the carnival barking insanity of the britnat zeitgeist that it is at times quite literally, beyond satire.<br /><br />http://www.weourselves.com/the-final-solution-to-the-scottish-question/<br />Christian Wrighthttp://www.weourselves.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-930120922627919768.post-25515381536931554412015-03-18T01:28:17.071+00:002015-03-18T01:28:17.071+00:00Ever since the referendum I have been increasingly...Ever since the referendum I have been increasingly concerned that I a can no longer spot the difference between reporting of actual political events and quotes and satire.

". You could have stopped there. Granted he can memorise chunks of party message and selected statistics, and use them to respond to any question he is asked. I don't imply that response has to be aligned with question; for example, in a BBC interview that I watched last month he answered all bar one of the questions with his sound bite of the day ("the safest way to get rid of the Tories is to vote Labour").
