Even the news on Greatest Hits Radio while I was picking my son up from school had had enough and pointed out that breaches of lockdown were punishable by fixed penalty notices rather than criminal investigation, so the Met were taking the piss by opening one up at this exact convenient moment. They even interviewed a lawyer who gave the translated legalese of "this is all bullshit".

I love battletech and desperately want to play another stompy flight sim game, but then I saw something the other day about a bunch of chuds praising the new mechwarrior for 'not giving into woke sjw pressure' which I can only assume means it's a dickhead game for dickheads now.

I just want to customise a giant robit. :smith:

A bit late to the party but the main novellist for Battletech is a capital-C Confederate.

The Met, the government and the media - predictably - are as corrupt as it's possible to be. The establishment is so protected and the status quo so stitched up that I wonder if Levison 2 would've mattered at all even if it had happened.

I follow them on Facebook and I feel quite positive about them. I know they've just joined this left alliance thing.
Also got their first non-binary mayor in Bangor (I posted about that a couple of days ago but it got lost in a sea of posts about toast).

"When I was a girl, around 12 or 13, I had a fantasy that I'd grow up to marry Captain Scarlet, but he'd be busy fighting the Mysterons so I'd cuckold him with the sexiest people I could think of - Nigel Mansell, Pat Sharp and Mr. Blobby."

They seem no worse than the various other reformist left groups.

The problem is why will they do better than the various other reformist left groups?

He realised just how batshit the crowd that he was appealing to were and doesn't want his legacy to be that of a fascist nonce. Good luck with that, sweet Prince

It's amazing that Neil backed HIV/Aids deniers, then pivoted to "well it only affects homosexuals and drug users so we shouldn't waste money on it", then platformed Holocaust denying Hitler fanatic David Irving repeatedly, and yet still gets to be remembered as a veteran anything rather than as a bigger joke than Alex Jones and David Icke.

More proof that it's not what you (don't) know it's who you know.

I hope you’re right, cos otherwise it’s not who you know, it’s who you blow, and I don’t need that image of Andrew Neil in my head.

I am far more hopeful about the smaller, emerging left parties now they're working together a bit. A load of small parties is suicide, but a kind of Left Alliance could work! Certainly enough to apply pressure and bring attention to the policies we all know are needed. Giving people an option to the left of what we have currently is essential and this gathering of smaller left wing parties could make waves. It'll take a while, but it's needed.

Today's National has, as part of the front page, an exclusive interview with Wheatus declaring they support Scottish independence. Perhaps a slightly slow news day yesterday...(It's not even shocking news, he apparently turned up at a Yes rally when Wheatus were touring in the UK a few years ago, which the National covered because of course they did)

Absolutely fantastic newspaper.

I read his whole defense is to make out that the other side were worse.
Making out the girl at the time was a sex trafficer herself.
So standing beside Spacey and going 'I only did one, he did loads!'
