Their masters are currently saying "it's nothing, it's nothing, we must save the economy" after they kneecapped the economy by picking a fight with literally everyone.

Love to be told that lockdowns are bad because there's little to no financial or mental health support.

If only there was a way to have both????

Also the implication that there is financial and mental health support if you don't lockdown.

If you're a brit the best form of self defense is to just make some irish friends. Probably easier said than done, apparently they have some issues with the brits.

I know you're joking, but the UK and Ireland are still going to have free movement (including living, working, healthcare etc) as the Common Travel Area is unrelated to the EU.

At least you knew I was joking. :) But does that also mean that there would be no checks on anything moving into the U.K from the E.U. on the Irish border?

Seems like you could move a lot of EU UK business there if so.

Ahh no there'll be full border checks including customs processing, just no visa required for Irish citizens.

The same is true for Cypriots too. Unsure about the Maltese.

Ah thank you. I really hope the common people in Britain won't feel too much from the brain child of David "pigfucker" Cameron. The most surprising thing to me is still that he was just allowed to go, here's Brexit...I'm out.

Saying that someone is good looking is not an endorsement of their policies. Young Stalin was a handsome devil (as you know), but atrocious. Context also counts. She doesn’t seem to have a suspiciously high number of AS friends or have made comments supporting openly AS murals, etc. This is manufactured outrage.

You don't think it's suspect at all to see this kind of poo poo from someone who spent Corbyn's tenure screaming about anti-semitism every time someone dropped their keys? That doesn't seem... illustrative of anything to you...?

Context. When there is a whole series of questionable incidents, one doesn't feel inclined to give the benefit of the doubt. One barely questionable incident gets a pass. One could flip it and say that if Baddiel can take a nuanced view of this incident, maybe there was something to it when he did actually think that there was antisemitism. It's not like with Corbyn's departure that Baddiel has suddenly stopped caring about AS.

ASK ME ABOUT LUMBER

corbyn pressed 'like' and commented that he didn't want a homeowner or something to remove a mural which contained unflattering depictions of bankers, some of which were jews and unfortunately hook-nosed, in 2012

Theguardian.com/politics/2018/mar/23/corbyn-criticised-after-backing-artist-behind-antisemitic-mural

notably his concern seems to have been mainly that people are babies about political art in the mainstream, but it was a bad fight to pick in retrospect

the 'friend of antisemites' thing is a simple fabrication and has never been seriously backed up. dude was active in the palestine solidarity movement for years and years, which means that you'll sometimes share a stage with weirdos. unless one is specifically talking about ken livingston it just doesn't hold any water

the antisemitism thing really was a fabricated smear by people desperate to undermine corbyn's reputation as an honourable man by exploiting an ideological weak point in contemporary identitarian anti-racism. accepting this means accepting a lot of uncomfortable truths about the british press and society as well as said ideology, so most people just sort of shut down when confronted with it

Liberals and centrist media outfits are watching Tories mishandle the pandemic and do hard Brexit and are having to think "Surely we had a good reason for thinking this was better". Rightwingers and Zionists can't ever allow Corbyns international solidarity social democracy to be thought of fondly.

They can't ever relent and it's going to drive them even more insane as he becomes less relevant to politics.

It's just that the UK can't have an anti-racist as PM for pretty obvious reasons. We as of yet haven't had to own up to our white supremacist empire and assorted atrocities and we are clinging to that privelege so that nothing in the establishment has to change and no reputations are tarnished.

But we can't outright say we don't want him because he's anti racist and anti racism is dangerous to the UK. So the oldest British trick is simply to say the opposite of the truth and everyone accepts it.
We couldn't abide Corbyn cause he was too racist.
