Do you all have an alarm that goes off to tell you you simply must post about how tasteless it is? Bore off, it’s cool when the capitalists and their dogs occasionally suffer for their terrible crimes. E: ^^^ bloody hell the former chancellor really went off the deep end after Brexit didn’t he

If he wasn't sure that it was a legitimate constituent he should have walked away. MPs should talk to each other on the phone to make sure they're safe. He should consider whether it's really safe to go out in public in a blue rosette.

I think the net result would be pretty much where we are now but with a higher body count and a more organised leftwing underground.

And it doesn't seem like he has family who post here so  he made the world a worse place to live for a lot of vulnerable people. If finding joy that there's one less Tory in the world makes me a bad person then I'm a bad person. At least I haven't dedicated a career in public service to making life harder for vulnerable people, be they immigrants, LGBT, poor or all of the above, so I'm better than Amess.Would you honestly have kidded on you were sad if someone had shot Stalin in 1923, before he could take charge of the USSR? Or Mussolini in 1918? Come off it. The only argument I've seen for why this a tragedy that isn't the weepiest Liberal garbage is what it means for the state of our institutions, and even that is nonsense because this is a symptom of the rot in our institutions rather than the cause. (Also away & shite, nobody is wanking themselves off to the news, what sort of weirdo conflates happiness with horniness?)

https://medium.com/@edwinhayward/the-brexit-goalposts-just-shifted-e58ccf04ad1d Interesting read on the Tory pivot from "Brexit will have no downsides" to "Brexit was always going to have downsides and its YOUR fault" quote:If they can get Leavers to accept the idea of Brexit-as-a-journey, then the Tories will be able to get them to accept almost any hardship. Why? Sunk cost. The more Brexit damage that Leavers mentally write off because they believe the Tory tale that it’s in pursuit of some higher ideal, the more invested they become in seeing that pursuit through to its conclusion. (The alternative is to recognise the damage, and by doing so admit to themselves that they made a mistake in voting Leave in 2016.) Its as ingenious as it is infuriating because you just know its gonna work 1965917 fucked around with this message at 13:12 on Oct 16, 2021 |

As has been pointed out (and ignored in favour of the usual arguing black and white lines in a very grey subject) it is quite possible to hold multiple opinions and have them contrast each other. Murder is bad. Tories are bad. A man was murdered, he was a tory. It is bad that he was murdered but I do not particularly care that he was as he was a bad person as his voting record showed in addition to his propping up of the party. I feel for people who lost someone they cared about on a human level, but politically he was very clearly a poo poo, as likely his friends were. The fact that politicians are entirely excused from decisions that cause the deaths of hundreds of thousands because they are sufficiently removed from it and protected by a complicit media is part of the issue of responsibility and "post truth" culture that needs fixing. They should not be able to get away with it. They should not be murdered for it either. Also here's a guardian opinion piece in how hypocritical the royals are regarding climate change to change the subject a bit. News at 11, grass green, rich people propped up by the establishment not. https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2021/oct/15/green-royals-saving-the-planet-helicopter-queen-charles-william-climate

There's a deep irony in two days ago the government saying "GPs need to do more face to face meetings, you cannot give proper contact remotely, they just need to suck it up" and 2 days later a conservative MP saying "MPs need to think about their safety and use more online meetings instead of face to face, it works just as well".

If you do want something fun to watch to lighten your mood, there's this video from the ongoing 25 Years of Doom Let's Play from these same dead forums. It takes a few minutes to really get going, and apparently isn't great if you get motion sick watching vidya games, but I thought it was a hoot.

Interesting thing. Last month a longstanding C-SPAM poster (with an 06 reg date) in the USA got himself charged with attempted murder after apparently shooting at some Proud Boys. His post history for his original and his alt account is fully available, and if you go back far enough, you can see him slowly radicalising himself over time. It's all just jokes and shitposting, until suddenly it wasn't. If this thread continues going the way it has been for the last several years, then sooner or later we'll have someone who's either posting or lurking here, who crosses the Rubicon and starts to think they should act on some of the sentiments being thrown around here ten-a-penny ha-ha-only-serious, and that really isn't going to end well. On a completely unrelated note, combating what they call "self-initiated terrorism", particularly involving use of the Internet, is already a hot button issue for the police, and will likely become even more so in the wake of yesterday. I also vaguely recall that some people ITT back in the dim and distant have had door knocks from Dixon of Dock Green after some particularly uncharitable posting in close proximity to major events. By the way, encouraging or glorifying acts of terrorism is an offence contrary to section 1 Terrorism Act 2006. The offence is potentially triable at Crown Court, where the maximum sentence is seven years in prison. If we're not comfortable with all this, then we really need to take a long hard look at ourselves, and what we say ITT, and what we tolerate being said. On the other hand, if we've successfully run off the outside world and we're only left with genuine true revolutionary believers, or at least those who are happy to hang around with people who are, then I'd want to at least be expressing myself somewhere a little more discreet than the internet equivalent of the public bar at the Red Rose Club.
