Scrolled through all the replies. There was one who posted a gif of somebody yawning, and another with somebody posting the crying-laughing emoji 4 times, other than that they're all supportive, including one from Diane Abbott.

Old people for some reason seem to think the crying-laughing emojicon-smiley is just crying, though :/

It's possible it was well intentioned.

yer ma called you too white

My aunt had a black doll and a white doll when she was small, but I don't recall them being called anything terrible.

I definitely remember the gollywog tokens on marmalade though, you could get racist pins, racist bags, racist stuffed monstrosities, all sorts.

We used to have those. I remember the little badges and also little plaster statues around 3" high. My nan used to get them for us in the 60s. My aunt was married to a Jamaican guy. I honestly don't think nan gave it a second's thought that it might be racist. Mind you in those days we had The Black & White Minstrel Show on TV - just googled that and it didn't stop til 1978 by which time I was off to Uni!

On his BBC 2 show he did turn on Corbyn a few times and even piled in on the antisemitism accusations around the time he had David Baddiel on, so I suspect he was probably listening to wronguns for a while.

He's generally on the right side, even if his anger misfires sometimes.

Ah he posted something complaining about "woke people" and I replied with something saying that we should be encouraging people to be interested in politics and he blocked me. It was just a bit lame and wtf to be honest.

E: I think Darth Walrus' summary of him is fair. He's been critical of the Corbyn from time to time, but critical of the Tories more often. He's not some totally awful centrist like Robert Webb, or a right-winger but he's also not a "solid leftist comrade" or whatever.

My nan would steam off labels for the tokens thinking it was like the smoking tokens you used to get in packs of Regal.
For things you could then get from a catalog. I think she ditched them when she found out they were worthless.
Still kept collecting the cigarette ones though.

I'll bet she kicked off. Old people take coupons/tokens extremely seriously in my experience. What on earth did one get for collecting feg packet tokens, though?

Ah they actually had their own catalogs with a whole range of poo poo in them.

Google 'Embassy Cigarettes coupon gift catalogue' and you will see links to them, cant find any pics of inside here.
I think an uncle managed to get a lovely jacket from the coupons, but that took saving up a poo poo ton of them.
They were a joke though, you needed like tens of thousands of them for high end stuff. And you got like 1 per packet.
They were the adult version of carnival amusement tickets.

Bozo has edited his first PM speech to remove his first broken promise: That work would start "this week" with 20 new hospital upgrades.

So apparently our hospital was going to get two new operating theatres for free. We just had to have them built and up and running in two weeks time for Boris to cut the ribbon.

quote:

Grieve, who revealed an arrest had recently been made in respect of a death threat against him, told the BBC’s Good Morning Scotland programme: “I want to save the Tory party from the likes of Mr Johnson – he’s hijacking it and taking it in directions which I find extremely worrying.

“I don’t like the rhetoric, after all, the rhetoric leads straightforwardly to the death threats which I receive.

“And this seems to me that the language he’s using is not that of what I would expect of a Conservative prime minister.

And yet he'd still take that over a temporary Corbyn government. gently caress's sake.
