Downtown Khazan: Ice Cold Utopia

I could be wrong seeing as this just a pre-rendered teaser, but this makes it seem like it's gonna be "Left 4 Resident Evil" considering it appears to be a 4-player co-op zombie game.

Well, there goes Parliament.

I mean, I was out doing karaoke with friends for a large chunk of the evening but... very troubling sensation in the country now.

Welp, it's not as bad as could be though it is bad all the same.

In extreme brief;
- Prime Minister Johnson requested the prorogation of parliament [read: parliament takes a break to close and open a new session of government via the Queen] take place on 9/9/19 for an unusually long period of five weeks. Such breaks are normally at minimum a few days and have at longest been about a week and half. Five weeks is very long.
- The timing of this would have been such that parliament would not have been able to properly debate or scrutinise any legislation or action taken around Brexit and the impending deadline for the end of October.
- In response, a lot of things happened, including the government losing its functional majority, but most pertinently a law was passed that will (hopefully) prevent a No Deal Brexit from occurring with rather thwarts Johnson's strategy.
- However, there have been rumblings that the government might just break said law to get their desired outcome of No Deal. There are also implications of government staff breaking the law in how prorogation was put forward.
- Despite all this, prorogation has still gone ahead so for the next five weeks the government will have next to no oversight and several extremely important pieces of domestic legislation have had to have been abandoned.

So the TL;DR of it all:

Very bad but it could have been considerably worse.

Johnson has gotten, technically, what he wanted but it has cost him his majority, his own brother, several members of his cabinet and has put him in a very difficult position of having to actually consider doing crime to get what he wants.

The danger is what they will get up to now before Parliament comes back.

TBH this situation kind of makes me anoyed that youtube refuses to let you disable breaking news, in notifications.

I mean this parliment situation sucks but I don't want it being shoved in my face everytime I go onto youtube.

Yes I'm aware that's small potatos in the grand sceme of things, but it's not fun when I'm looking for a bit of escapism.
