i think that 'jeremy corbyn has more and better sex than you' is a powerful appeal to threatened masculinity, how will he ever live this down

With this story and the 'Boris stole my woman' guy last week I'm beginning to think the press are repressed and enjoy knocking one out to our political sexual tyrannosaurs... Who was that freak that tapped up a story about May being sexy? Like what the actual gently caress?

When I want to relax, I read an essay by Engels. When I want something more serious, I read Corto Maltese.
The desperation in these pieces is just... pathetic.

I think that was in the Spectator, and the writers there really are the nadir of Literal Tory Fetishists

Exploration is ill-advised.
The British ruling classes have had centuries to become downright impressively ossified while having trained the public into the right level of bootlicking to maintain their illusions of base competence.

I'm getting some late Qing Dynasty vibes where the ruling classes have become so insular and trained their underlings to be so slavishly servile that they're completely incapable of adequately responding to externalities, to the point where collapse is inevitable because they're not even useful enough to be puppets.

I don't get how anybody in the UK takes their press seriously, even the supposedly respectable journals seem laughably transparent compared to even basic trickery you'd find in biased reporting in other countries.

This was yesterdays headline in the Sunday Mail. Notice how they didn't outright claim that Corbyn had a stroke, but they planted the seed of suspicion there for the impressionable to latch onto. They also didn't use their usual gimmick of a headline ending in a question mark, maybe they are evolving? You'll also notice how the front page has articles on adult-onset diabetes. Every drat day there is some news about age related diseases like Alzheimers, diabetes or cancer. They know who their audience is.

As for people ITT saying that nobody takes the UK tabloids seriously, you obviously haven't met many people from the UK. They all thrive on sensationalism and gossip and the only thing they like better than gossip is a good scandal. Big Brother was one of the most popular shows on TV for christs sake and the contestants were picked becuase of how much drama and misery they would cause each other.

Seriously, the average middle aged brit loves to do nothing but complain and whine and blame someone else (bonus if it's not their demographic). I'm saying that as someone from the UK myself.

People know no better. It's always been poisonous and so that's treated as the norm and there's no way they could be lying or they'd get sued.

Also we're morons.

quote:

Asked what practical plans Johnson has to “get people together after Brexit”, the MP for Uxbridge and South Ruislip asked whether the caller was referring to within the Tories or the country at large.

“I’m the candidate who has the support of the most Remainers and leavers together, half the party, dozens on each side,” he said, citing how an alliance is already forming and that he has been campaigning with Bob Neil and Jo Johnson today, who both opposed Brexit.

“Once we’ve got it done, actually you’ll find people naturally become much less [irated] by the whole issue, once we have Brexit delivered, a lot of the stress with come out,” he said. “[There has been] No clarity of direction, which has fermented unrest on both sides.”

yes a solid plan. It turns out that what remainers want most of all is to leave the EU.
