You know who I just thought of? Mark Francois. Did he get sacked or what, you couldn't move for his face in the papers talking about sending spitfires to Brussels or whatever

wasn't it Mark Francois who resigned to spend more time with his local police station, around the time his local police station arrested a tory MP for multiple counts of sexual assault?

Wow, we're struck by the old clickbait, eh? Well, he has his whole mental health thing, so I guess it's not quite as bad. Still upsetting to see him live with zero consequences for his actions though.

I'm sure that his former employees have a few things to say about the real-life Malcolm Tucker becoming a mental health ambassador.

Also a few million Iraqis with PTSD, of course.

I don't know what you mean by "resigned", he was made chairman of the ERG with great fanfare and definitely still is chairman because they never said he resigned, and all of those articles in the press that called Bernard Jenkin the chairman of the ERG from August onwards and Francois' complete disappearance from all media is completely unrelated to any other story that might have happened to have been in the news.

Apparently Boris is going up in the polls after all the sleaze stuff.

So, is this just the public being terrible and literally addicted to negativity, the result of Keith being useless or just the Covid effect?

The polls on Twitter all had fieldwork done before the last few days so it's probably too early to tell if this has had any real effect.

Shouldn't surprise anyone here but the Tories are being loving monsters once again:

quote:

The British government is slashing its funding to the UN population fund (UNFPA) in a move described as “devastating” for women and girls.

The agency confirmed on Wednesday that the UK, its largest donor, is cutting funding for contraceptives and reproductive health supplies by 85% this year – from £154m to £23m – and cutting core funding from £20m to £8m.

UNFPA said the £130m that has been withheld would have helped prevent a quarter of a million child and maternal deaths, 14.6 million unintended pregnancies and 4.3 million unsafe abortions.

I've only seen the first one but :catstare:. I know these aren't exactly uncommon views [insert government report about how the UK is a model for other countries to follow when it comes to racism here] but it's the sheer speed at which the guy goes from discussing fishing rights after Brexit to Great Replacement poo poo that gets me. Is it deliberate, in that they're fash/fash-lite and talk to the LBC researcher and say "yeah, I want to talk about fishing quotas" but are always planning to say the Fourteen Words the moment they're on the air, or are they just garden variety bigots who can't help themselves?

0.000% of Communism has been built. Evil child-murdering billionaires still rule the world with a shit-eating grin. All he has managed to do is make himself *sad*. It has, however, made him into a very, very smart boy with something like a university degree in Truth. Instead of building Communism, he now builds a precise model of this grotesque, duplicitous world.

In the case of the first video it's pretty clear that yeah, he told the production team on the phone he wanted to talk about fishing or whatever, and then immediately segued to white supremacy the moment he got on air. And as domhal said, it's likely not a coincidence he called himself "Oswald".

The worst part about these clips is that LBC is still inviting these nobheads on to their shows generate clicks and listens.

Both of them should have been told to gently caress off after eight seconds, but the hosts insist on dragging out a :decorum: fueled debate that everyone knows will go nowhere.
