I know she is annoying, I know she makes dumb tweets, but she is quite literally a nobody and I'm not entirely sure this thread needs a running update on every single pointless thing she ever tweets. But I will happily shut the gently caress up if it turns out I'm in the minority. Edit: I don't mean this as a personal attack or anything I know a few people post her stuff but it's been months now.

The people who keep posting her tweets know she’s being deliberately provocative to garner reaction, but do it anyway aware of that as if falling for it repeatedly is proof they’re really smart and they are all worse than Tories.

As long as nobody's touching the poop this is just an easy way to see her self own over and over until she loses her councillor job and is gone forever. I think she's aware she's on a time limit to get a hot-take haver job at the Guardian or Telegraph or whatever but it's not looking hopeful.

https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2019/aug/05/government-national-unity-no-deal-margaret-beckett-referendum Toynbee has identified Margaret Beckett of all people to lead the 'national unity government'. Margaret Beckett. Look at this: quote:Most of these will be Labour, Scottish National party, Plaid Cymru, Green, Change UK and stray independents. But noblest of all will be Conservative MPs who, like the burghers of Calais (whose memorial they pass every day), will sacrifice their careers for the good of all. No “golden age” awaits Johnson: he will be hoist on his own outrageous hubris. Junior G-man fucked around with this message at 07:07 on Aug 6, 2019 |

I’m driving down to Exeter today because a charity called the Exeter Leukaemia Fund selfishly has its hq in Exeter rather than, for example, Nottingham and gently caress me it’s a long way. I’ve been driving for two hours and I’m only halfway there. I managed to listen to radio 4 for nearly twenty minutes before realising I’d prefer a podcast about d&d, or a talking book about the Second World War, or just silence. My dad still listens to radio 4 every day and I’m definitely seeing where the brain worms sneak in.

I wonder why Polly might want Margaret Beckett to temporarily assume leadership of the unity government, while she doesn't mention the current leader of the opposition? quote:Beckett was asked if she was "a moron" for nominating Corbyn. She replied: "I am one of them".[33] It is a mystery wrapped in an enigma.

WhatEvil posted:JVL are basically saying "We're Jewish and we don't believe that Labour is institutionally antisemitic - in fact we think they're doing a good job in making efforts to stamp this stuff out. Also the other parties are way worse for antisemitism and racism in general". Long story short, JVL are the “wrong type of Jews” because they’re not right wing or orthodox enough and hence talking to them is itself antisemitic.

Like, I don't actually think she's being disingenuous, I think she genuinely believes that she's a brave anti-racist and the smartest and most sensible person in the room, which the more obviously cynical melts seem happy to encourage, when in fact she's insanely dumb. I find watching that beyond hilarious especially when she starts waffling on about mindless Corbyn cultists and aggressively posting the most inane garbage as if it were masterful wit, all in a tone you can feel the arrogant smirk through. It's living satire and it's pretty great. I don't think there's another person on Twitter who so perfectly captures that particular brand of cringe comedy so well. Like, there have been times I've honestly wondered if she's a parody account. ThomasPaine fucked around with this message at 10:26 on Aug 6, 2019 |

Holiday traffic is awful and the amount of people who don't know how to tow caravans is terrifying. Feel lucky that you can exit at the end of the M5, once it goes to the a-road its just motionless. the best thing i did was buy a £5 FM transmitter from Argos so I could listen to a spotify playlist in my old car...

I've never understood that, tracj8ng everyone by name when it's trival in the UK to change legal name on a bunch of documents - you could probably do it without letting the passport office know via say the DVLA and I doubt the databases are that linked.

Even if their database couldn't for some reason help them tell apart one David Baker (even assuming an exactly identical DOB) from another, usually these things allow addenda to be made in the entry to the tune of "there's also a professor with these biographical details who's yea tall and has green eyes, don't stop him". It's some combination of laziness and incompetence if they keep stopping him.
