Do you go doublegay if you're already gay before the jab? Like gay squared? Gay 2: hypergay?

What about if you inject a frog, does it become extra froggy?

In a desperate appeal to younger people’s nationalistic tendencies, Tory Labour’s new FLAG-MAN™ inaction figure will be fully poseable and come loaded with;

ALL FOUR of Sir Kieth’s rallying cries!
‘Controls on Immigration’ mug!
Top Secret #SpyCops Files!

It is believed that a FLAG-MAN™ comic book featuring Sir Kieth’s Socialist arch-nemesis, Jimminy Crombob is also in development, according to a fictional leak from one of Kieth’s focus groups.

Yes, but she leaked the hidden violent riot plans [zoom meeting times] and then deleted them when she was busted by brave patriots [threatened on the internet] and now the chud team has joined in [but this time it's Hindu nationalist cyber squad].

I just want to shout out a big 'gently caress you' to the DWP. Had our 86 year old next door neighbour round in tears this evening. Her husband died back in November and left her a bit of money. The DWP have now sent a letter asking to see her bank accounts because they're worried she's now getting paid too much benefits because the little bit of money she now has might have taken her over a threshold.

She gets a nice little brown envelope with DEBT MANAGEMENT on it to send them the info, and presumably a letter that says 'oi we heard you're a widow now living in a council house. We're concerned you're too rich for your own good so we want some of that money back'.

gently caress them.

Sorry I thought you were a landlord when I gave you your old avatar!

I remember when they brought out 50p pieces (1969) - you know, the ones with 7 sides. And they had continual voxpops on the news with old biddies moaning about how they wouldn't be able to tell the difference between them and 10p pieces (round sides).

This despite the fact that for many years there had been florins/2 shillings pieces and half-crowns (two shillings and six pence) which were also round and marginally bigger (3mm in diameter bigger) and they never complained about those. Florins/two-shillings pieces were repurposed as 10p pieces until they were fully removed from circulation.

"Florins" were in fact the first decimal currency representing 1/10th of a £ and date from 1847, an old attempt at decimalization that didn't end up happening: (source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Florin_(British_coin))

(And yes I am old enough to remember using old money including florins and old 3ds with 12 sides though I was just a bit too young for farthings.)

I still think that corbyn got noticeably more "professional" as he went on as leader and that it really cost him given his initial appeal was just being able to answer a loving question straight. The "experienced" politicians are all godawful founts of verbal shite that says nothing but somehow at great length.

I remember when you could still use shillings and florins in vending machines and then they brought in the replacements and the new 5p is far too small.

Bear in mind Starmer hadn't been an MP for 2 minutes before they were bigging him up to stand for leader.
I think Sultana would be very good.

Burgon has too much baggage and yes, inclined to put foot in it when speaking. But he does have good taste in music having seen him post a photo of himself in an Entombed t-shirt.

I think it is time Labour made a serious effort to get a leftwing female leader. And hopefully she would have seen enough to give an edge of ruthlessness that Corbyn bless his cotton socks never had.

Yeah she came round to ask for help with replying. Just trying to ascertain whether they want it posted or emailed. Going to have another word with her tomorrow but have made scans for now.

Can't even imagine losing a partner of 60 years, being stuck indoors for lockdown, then being hit with this poo poo. Their social lives were really just each other, and the betting shop for him. Their main hobby seemed to be arguing hilariously loudly, full of expletives, about I don't even know what.

Out of interest what sort of stuff has Burgon said that hasn't gone down well? I've only recently seen him speaking about the Manchester tier nonsense and he came across really well in that.

I really would like Sultana but I dread to imagine the savaging she'd get from the press. Think what AOC gets now multiplied by a factor of ten.

There were a bunch of the usual right wing shites whingeing about some of the stuff he said in the leadership contest but it was mostly because they're right wing shites where they go "burgon wants to do X can you IMAGINE" and I'm like "yes I can and it would be good actually"

What I like about this is how it has all the same 'characters' as any Brexit voxpop exercise from 2020:

- The pleasant-but-opinionated person who fundamentally misunderstands the issue ("you get less per gallon from the kilimolimetre than a mile so it's more expensive!")
- The well-spoken, calm, seemingly jovial person who makes classical allusions but is actually really reactionary ("The Treaty As Rome...Horrible. I can't bare it!")
- The salt-of-the-earth knee-jerk nationalist ("We're losing all our heritage, we used to rule the world and now we're part of the a community, I don't agree with it at all!")
- The outsider who doesn't understand what all the fuss is about because everywhere else just does what works already.
- The literal conservative who just doesn't want change ("Oh sure...I don't know and I don't want to know either!")
- The upbeat and charmingly batty person who will trend on twitter and spend a week as a meme ("It doesn't matter to me because I only go four miles an hour!")
- The gammon who only speaks in WW2 references which he's convinced is deep wisdom that only he understands ("We had a bloke with a little moustache like that - his name was Chamberlain")
