So, there are six images on this article. Four feature Corbyn, and three of those is negative about him. There are two with Boris, and both are neutral.

Fiona from Bolton, 22-year old Tory, gets three shoutouts.

I've met Jimmy Carr and he's very different in real life to his stage persona so I'm going to say you're putting way more thought into his declaration of libertarianism than he did. There's "the tax avoidance because I can" and the rest is rationalisation after the fact and performative idiocy

Do you remember in the first Terminator film where Kyle Reese talked about the first generation of Terminators, and how they were able to spot them easily?

That's how I feel about Jimmy Carr.
Between his weird makeup routine that makes his skin seem plasticky and his really put upon laugh, he just looks like he's a robot trying to infiltrate society.

It's maybe an over-generalisation but they are about and I have a couple of Jewish friends who have stopped being active in the party because of those sorts of people.

It's getting better, and has actively improved since Corbyn took over in my opinion, because there are more people about who haven't got exhausted by arguing with racist dinosaurs for decades and are prepared to call them out on their bullshit.

This is just it. They want the homeless to have it better, sure. But not at the cost of absolutely any slight inconvenience to themselves.

And then they justify not helping as “all homeless are scroungers” because it’s easier than admitting that.

despite what the polls say the reality is we're closer than we've ever been to a genuine labour government, we came close in 2017 and we literally out manuevered johnson from day one until he was begging and crying for an election and we collapsed his government on our own terms. If we lose it'll be poo poo but we're closer to winning than ever before.

Those cunts will be irrelevant soon. Remember the most important policy in the Labour manifesto: immediately ending homelessness by housing all homeless people.

I recommend using that as a powerful argument in a pinch by the way. Force people to try to argue against housing the homeless. If they do, they are a lost cause and not worth your time. But if they can't bring themselves to do it, then they are now thinking: "Wait, if that's possible then why aren't we doing it right now?"
