Now that my marking is done and I have a week off (whoo strike, and yes, I'll go picket too) I need to get my arse in gear.

If you can get to a marginal then there's definitely more value in that.

Most goons that have gone on the podcast have shared their real names on there. And they have had a couple of non-goons on it too.

Richard Burgon isn't a great communicator. He really just could've stuck to the topic here instead of crowbarring in stuff about billionaires. Or flat out said "if you're on 80k, you'll be paying an extra £8 a month so people don't die on the streets, so kids don't go to school hungry, so grannies aren't dying of urosepsis on trollies in hospital corridors. If that's too much for you to pay, just loving abstain from the vote you utter oval office".

The audience guy was a moron and really handed this to Burgon by flat out denial of reality and he still kinda flubbed it.

There's only so much you can do with a person who's so out of touch with reality and refuses to even acknowledge his position in life.

You can try and get him on side. Point out to him that he's in the top 5% of earners and he still doesn't feel rich. That the difference between the top 5% and the top 1% has become so vast that you can't wrap your mind around it.That society has become so warped and aimed at the profits of the very rich that a guy on £80k a year doesn't recognise his wealth. That the price of a house, the price of a car, of electricity, of heat, of broadband of everything has steadily increased to the point where he's streaks ahead and feels like his spinning in place. That a conservative government of 9 years has left him feeling this way.

Or you can just call him a stupid selfish oval office and hope that enough people will be on your side that he'll be properly humiliated.

Yeah, it is.

Also lol at the anti-NBs saying that you can't have an X on your passport because sex is binary and isn't the same as gender.

Which part of your passport is about whether you have a dick or not, and which part of binary sex accounts for intersex, differences in sexual development, sex polysomies, etc.?

Is this going to be one of those things where the handful of lefties that are left on that forum are all goons? Another entryist cell from UKMT...

There used to be a famous bit of graffiti on a bridge over the M25 that said "GIVE PEAS A CHANCE" for years and it was kind of a landmark. Then another person decided to overspray that with their own tag, and that person was Helch. There was UPROAR.

So yeah for a while it said "GIVE HELCH A CHANCE" then when it made national news and they were getting slated for defacing Peas's thing, they changed it to "GIVE HELCH A BREAK". I'm not sure what it reads now. Kinda funny if someone's comparing Boris to Helch, but it might have been Helch themselves, who knows.

Yeah I'm invested in motorway grafitti, I also have opinions about the giraffes on the A34 or the cats on the new Norwich by pass what of it.
