There was a guy who used to have a tactical analysis blog for Ross County games, he started off using photos he'd take at the games to illustrate his points but then the SPL got loving weird about it & demanded he stopped, so he used Subbuteo to recreate the photos he'd take to illustrate his points, it ruled.

Not to interrupt the very entertaining football commentary (never written that before) but was it ever explained what the “denied access to the slavery system” meant? If I capture someone who’s come here on a small boat, can I keep him? I can’t see any other way to interpret it!

Its more like 'we don't give a gently caress if you have been kept chained in a room and sold off to be raped ten times a day for the last 12 months, get the gently caress on the boat to Rwanda you immigrant scum'.

Ah right, so the traffickers standard lie of “if you try and escape they will send you to [Rwanda, for example]” is now 100% true? loving brilliant, that’ll go well.

You could set up a company in Rwanda to smuggle in people to the UK, allow them to be caught, and then the UK pays Rwanda to take them home again.

This combined with openly punishing people for criticising it is absolutely wild, even for this poo poo hole. I didn't think it was possible but this current Tory evolution is even more despicable than the last few.

Yeah, it's worth noting that Lineker said 'most vulnerable people'. He didn't even mention Jews once.

So Baddiel is making the same terrible argument argument as you sometimes see with terfs
"Your dehumanizing language about trans people sounds exactly like the Nazis in the 30s"
"You can't compare your transgenderism ideology to the persecution of Jews, that's offensive and antisemitic."
"No, idiot, your dehumanizing language about trans people sounds exactly like the Nazis about trans people in the 30s, including making up stupid scare words like 'transgenderism'."

Literal Colonel Blimp logic on show there.
"Gad sir, we cannot allow a multitude of groups that refuse to recognize each other's validity, and so we must refuse to recognize the validity of all the other groups!"

Also when did 'common sense' go from meaning 'the sense which is common to all the others, allowing the individual to make empirical observations about the world around them without necessitating an unquestionable authority" to "the lowest common denominator of uninformed brainfart bullshit believed by any group of people"?

Yeah it must have been a very long while ago, but to take something that originally meant "a sense which I have which allows me to examine further" and use it as "an opinion that I have which I absolutely will not examine and have decided that everyone else holds too" is like them making it a point of pride to roll around in lazy thinking in public.

It's funny when people who claim to be admirers of Adam Smith et al (probably the ASI rather than the actual Adam who Smithed) try that though, because he said the complete opposite when it came to identity groups and the social governance.

Some Scottish guy they haven't read posted:

The interested and active zeal of religious teachers can be dangerous and troublesome only where there is either but one sect tolerated in the society, or where the whole of a large society is divided into two or three great sects; the teachers of each acting by concert, and under a regular discipline and subordination.

But that zeal must be altogether innocent, where the society is divided into two or three hundred, or, perhaps, into as many thousand small sects, of which no one could be considerable enough to disturb the public tranquillity.

The teachers of each sect, seeing themselves surrounded on all sides with more adversaries than friends, would be obliged to learn that candour and moderation which are so seldom to be found among the teachers of those great sects, whose tenets, being supported by the civil magistrate, are held in veneration by almost all the inhabitants of extensive kingdoms and empires, and who, therefore, see nothing round them but followers, disciples, and humble admirers.

He probably used 'common sense' in the Enlightenment manner and not 'brainfarts filtered through whatever current thing I'm mad about' though.

He'd given semi apologies before but never actually too Lee, the man he was mocking. I do believe he realises now it was wrong but it shouldn't have taken what? 15 years?

Honestly I don't really care what Baddiel thinks on matters and goons would probably do their blood pressure good by ignoring him. Now his documentary has aired he will drift back into irrelevance over time.
