Whoever tweeted that the octopus is under section 14 is a moron. Being aware of restrictions made to processions is a condition of being convicted under section 14 of the Public Order Act. By putting that on people's feeds you allow them to be convicted.

If there are conditions placed on your procession/assembly, don't share that information assholes. Posting here on the assumption no one here's at the protests rn.

I like that he's linking to the Sky News story. Just thinking 'gently caress the BBC, even Sky don't rip the piss out as much these days'.

E: Huh, just noticed the 'Why you can trust Sky news' link at the top of the article. Then went to the BBC and saw they had one too, except buried at the bottom of the article. Is that new, as a result of some legislation or other? Or did two mid-level managers suddenly hit on the same idea to appear non-fake-newsey.

I mean I'm sort of generally curious to see how it skews, but like actual jewish people in the comments going apeshit about corbyn is just...

Like you've got the right wing shooting up synagogues and you think jeremy corbyn is the actual problem, like sincerely, as the direct target of the gun toting maniacs...

Like how hosed up is your sense of basic self preservation at that point? What does it take for people to think that maybe the oncoming train isn't on your side and that the man desperately trying to get people off the tracks isn't the bad guy despite what the other guy with the curly moustache and the stovepipe hat says. How many people does it have to plough through before the rest of the people on the tracks get the hint?

Wondered why Blair was trending on twitter. Sadly, it's not an embarrasing death by autoerotic asphyxiation, having tweezered his tiny cock over a picture of Thatcher stamping on kittens or something, instead it's an interview with Andrew Neil
https://twitter.com/BBCPolitics/status/1181977625964826628
tl;dr: "It's not a question of politics; It's Brexit."

And also:

Telegraph posted:

Tony Blair has admitted he will struggle to vote Labour at the forthcoming general election but warned the Tories they risk losing to Jeremy Corbyn by standing on a no-deal manifesto.

The former Prime Minister said the party he led was infected with "extremely distressing" anti-Semitism and "sectarianism" and he was extremely concerned about its political direction.

He said he had always voted Labour, most recently in this year's European and local government elections, but concluded that it would be "a struggle" to do so again.
[Can't see the rest]

Can always count on Blair to slither out from his sewer to galvanise people to do the exact opposite of what he says (with good reason).

Something had never seen before, was his thinktank trying to piggy back on Labour's slogan.

Especially since it's not as if she can go back in time to tell her younger self to pay better attention to this stuff. Educating herself about the recent past now is absolutely the most she (or anyone else in her position) can possibly do to make up for it. Telling her "you should have listened at the time" achieves nothing except making the person saying it feel superior.

This is good for Labour I think.

If Boris goes into the election still promising to get a deal, it means his pledge to "get Brexit done" will essentially consist of "let me go and negotiate some more, despite the fact that the EU have already totally rejected the deal I want. Then if I fail I'll totally leave with No Deal. I know I already promised to do that and didn't but this time I mean it!"

I can see Labour having decent cut-through with the message that the Tories have already had three years to 'get Brexit done', and Boris is actually just repeating the exact same promise he's already broken: to negotiate a deal and then leave if he can't get it.

Johnson still trying to get a deal after an election is hilarious. What does he think will have changed? I suppose if they do well it makes it more likely he can get something past parliament, but currently the issue is that he can’t get anything past the EU. He probably imagines they’ll be so impressed by such a cool guy winning an election they’ll just drop all their red lines.

Donald Trump is letting Turkey invade Syria to wipe out the Kurds, releasing all of the captured ISIS soldiers in the process, to punish Europe and help his personal allies in Turkey and Russia (via their puppet in Syria).

Also because the Kurds didn't help us during the Normandy landing during WW2 (He actually said this today)

Diyarbakir? Holy gently caress no. The Kurds want independence but even in their wildest dreams they don't think they could annex a big chunk of Turkey.

I'm sure there's Kurds that would love this idea, but it's about as realistic as recreating the 10th century Kingdom of Armenia.
