Making Brexit Sexy Again

By Editor 4 years ago

Audrey McBride tells us about the Conservative Party’s recent holiday ad and all the problems it has that aren’t so holly or jolly.

It’s Christmas time, there’s no need to be afraid…unless you’re the Conservative party. If so, it is apparently time to scrape the very bottom of the Brexit-depleted political barrel, and to draw out, in a characteristically Christmas manner, the gift that no one needed. 

Whilst it’s not the first time Johnson has rolled along as the third wheel of a relationship, the role Johnson takes in the sketch is surely not the most logical fit. He’s still PM, isn’t he? One can only imagine that his sketch(y) character emerged from some poor political aide’s attempt to placate BoJo’s desire to dance through No. 10, Hugh Grant-style, like the heartthrob he’s evidently configured as.

But it’s no wonder that the Conservative party were drawn to Love Actually for the last straws of their campaign fodder. It’s a veritable magpie nest of a film, full of sparkly twigs of festive seduction. First off, it’s London-centric, which is the only place that really matters. (Why should there be discussion about borders beyond the London Orbital?) It has secretaries dressed in red slinky slips (oo-er Mrs Claus of my illicit, seasonally-suppressed-and-released-fantasies). It has a glimmering example of interracial (if underage) bliss (Who said Johnson had white supremacist inclinations?). It’s delightfully pre-#MeToo; back in that untroubled era where the PM could be won over by a plate of chocolate biscuits and his ‘staff’ didn’t care that they had their bums pinched by lecherous American Presidents, because the relatively less-lecherous PM saved them through the prioritisation of LOVE, actually, over transatlantic trade. Yay!

Speaking of Hugh Grant, the original political objet d’amour of Love Actually was less than enamoured with Boris’s co-optation of his Downing Street rendition. Evidently, he hadn’t anticipated the emergence of a real-life contender for the position of personality Prime Minister. Because we all know that that was the role Johnson was aligning himself with, even if it wasn’t the one he was playing. Hugh has previously tried to head Boris off in a less than charming way most notably in terming him ‘an over-promoted rubber bath toy’. And it is admittedly strange that Johnson or his campaign wranglers could have detected an iota of similarity between the RP-accented, lovably-roguish-configured, coif-haired, polyamory-performing prime ministers. On this provoking occasion, Grant made his upset known through what has been hailed as a biting retort: he pointed out that Johnson didn’t hold up the sign ‘Because at Christmas time you tell the truth’. Vicious indeed. Perhaps Johnson had missed their joint annual confession of extra-marital activities.

For all Grant’s sizzling objections, the sketch is truthful to the original in a number of ways. Kiera Knightley’s stand-in responds to Johnson’s night-prowling in an equally sappy and asinine manner. Johnson carries a Noughties tape player that is as anachronistic as it was in the original, although perhaps more representative at the symbolic level. The ‘truth’ card the scene omits is replaced with a parenthesised truth following the statement ‘we’ll have Brexit done’ (if parliament doesn’t block it again). Most importantly, the sketch carries the original message of Love Actually: look the other way-towards Christmas- get boozy, get nostalgic and it’ll all be over soon, divine absolution is coming.

  71. Rolex watches
    Understanding COSC Certification and Its Importance in Watchmaking
    COSC Accreditation and its Demanding Criteria
    Controle Officiel Suisse des Chronometres, or the Controle Officiel Suisse des Chronometres, is the official Swiss testing agency that verifies the accuracy and precision of timepieces. COSC certification is a sign of excellent craftsmanship and trustworthiness in timekeeping. Not all timepiece brands pursue COSC accreditation, such as Hublot, which instead sticks to its own stringent standards with mechanisms like the UNICO, attaining equivalent accuracy.

    The Art of Exact Chronometry
    The central mechanism of a mechanized timepiece involves the spring, which supplies energy as it loosens. This mechanism, however, can be susceptible to external factors that may influence its precision. COSC-certified mechanisms undergo strict testing—over 15 days in various conditions (5 positions, 3 temperatures)—to ensure their durability and reliability. The tests evaluate:

    Mean daily rate precision between -4 and +6 seconds.
    Mean variation, peak variation levels, and impacts of temperature variations.
    Why COSC Accreditation Matters
    For timepiece fans and collectors, a COSC-validated timepiece isn’t just a piece of technology but a demonstration to enduring excellence and accuracy. It signifies a watch that:

    Presents exceptional reliability and accuracy.
    Offers confidence of superiority across the whole design of the watch.
    Is apt to retain its worth more efficiently, making it a sound choice.
    Well-known Chronometer Brands
    Several famous manufacturers prioritize COSC validation for their timepieces, including Rolex, Omega, Breitling, and Longines, among others. Longines, for instance, offers collections like the Record and Soul, which highlight COSC-accredited mechanisms equipped with advanced materials like silicone balance suspensions to improve resilience and efficiency.

    Historic Context and the Evolution of Timepieces
    The idea of the timepiece dates back to the requirement for accurate chronometry for navigation at sea, emphasized by John Harrison’s work in the 18th cent. Since the formal establishment of COSC in 1973, the certification has become a yardstick for evaluating the precision of luxury timepieces, continuing a legacy of superiority in horology.

    Conclusion
    Owning a COSC-validated timepiece is more than an aesthetic choice; it’s a commitment to quality and accuracy. For those appreciating precision above all, the COSC accreditation offers peace of thoughts, ensuring that each validated timepiece will perform dependably under various circumstances. Whether for personal satisfaction or as an investment decision, COSC-validated watches stand out in the world of watchmaking, carrying on a tradition of meticulous timekeeping.

    로드스탁과의 레버리지 스탁: 투자법의 참신한 지평

    로드스탁에서 공급하는 레버리지 스탁은 주식 시장의 투자법의 한 방법으로, 큰 이익율을 목표로 하는 투자자들을 위해 매혹적인 옵션입니다. 레버리지 사용을 사용하는 이 전략은 투자하는 사람들이 자신의 투자금을 초과하는 금액을 투자할 수 있도록 하여, 증권 장에서 훨씬 큰 작용을 가질 수 있는 기회를 공급합니다.

    레버리지 스탁의 기본 원칙
    레버리지 스탁은 원칙적으로 투자금을 빌려 운용하는 방법입니다. 예를 들어, 100만 원의 투자금으로 1,000만 원 상당의 주식을 사들일 수 있는데, 이는 투자자가 일반적인 투자 금액보다 훨씬 훨씬 더 많은 증권을 사들여, 주식 가격이 상승할 경우 관련된 더욱 큰 이익을 얻을 수 있게 해줍니다. 하지만, 증권 가격이 떨어질 경우에는 그 손실 또한 커질 수 있으므로, 레버리지를 사용할 때는 조심해야 합니다.

    투자 계획과 레버리지 사용
    레버리지 사용은 특히 성장 가능성이 큰 기업에 적용할 때 도움이 됩니다. 이러한 기업에 큰 비율을 통해 투입하면, 성공할 경우 상당한 수입을 획득할 수 있지만, 반대 경우의 경우 상당한 위험도 짊어져야 합니다. 그렇기 때문에, 투자하는 사람은 자신의 위험 관리 능력을 가진 시장 분석을 통해 통해, 어떤 사업체에 얼마만큼의 자본을 적용할지 결정하게 됩니다 합니다.

    레버리지의 장점과 위험 요소
    레버리지 방식의 스탁은 큰 이익을 약속하지만, 그만큼 높은 위험도 따릅니다. 주식 거래의 변동은 예측이 어렵기 때문에, 레버리지 사용을 이용할 때는 늘 상장 추세를 세심하게 주시하고, 손실을 최소화할 수 있는 방법을 세워야 합니다.

    맺음말: 신중한 결정이 필요
    로드스탁을 통해 제공된 레버리지 스탁은 강력한 투자 도구이며, 적당히 사용하면 상당한 수입을 제공할 수 있습니다. 그러나 상당한 리스크도 신경 써야 하며, 투자 결정은 필요한 정보와 신중한 고려 후에 실시되어야 합니다. 투자하는 사람의 재정 상황, 리스크 감수 능력, 그리고 시장 상황을 고려한 조화로운 투자 방법이 핵심입니다.

Another factor is that to be a photographer includes not only problem in catching award-winning photographs and also hardships in establishing the best dslr camera suited to your needs and most especially challenges in maintaining the standard of your camera. It is very true and noticeable for those photographers that are in capturing the particular nature’s engaging scenes – the mountains, the particular forests, the actual wild or the seas. Visiting these amazing places absolutely requires a video camera that can surpass the wild’s nasty area.

  93. Thanks for the post. My spouse and i have constantly noticed that most people are wanting to lose weight since they wish to show up slim as well as attractive. On the other hand, they do not always realize that there are other benefits so that you can losing weight as well. Doctors say that obese people have problems with a variety of health conditions that can be instantly attributed to the excess weight. The good thing is that people who sadly are overweight along with suffering from different diseases can reduce the severity of their particular illnesses by means of losing weight. It’s possible to see a gradual but noticeable improvement in health whenever even a negligible amount of losing weight is attained.
