on the Labour side btw it went like this:

Jeremy Corbyn so roundly backstabbed that he literally couldn't get enough MPs to back him to put him on the ticket for his own re-election without a special meeting of the NEC (more or less our DNC). Then after it was established he was probably deserving of a shot at his own defence, he left the meeting, at which point they put a £25 fee on new members getting to vote after he was gone and couldn't vote against it, lol.

Angela "Screamin'" Eagle then swooped in to try to take out J-Corbz on a "he is bad" (sorta) and hates women (ehh)" ticket and was pushed out of the way by dick pill merchant Owen Smith who had the temerity to suggest he was the real voice for women in Labour (lol) and who was such a charisma vacuum and ideological unknown that he couldn't take out an incumbent with less parliamentary and public support than dengue fever (only recently turned around by this election courtesy of May's shockingly poo poo performance more than owt else).

Whoever wins it will be a hilarious poo poo show and even funnier if no one wins, which is apparently a possible outcome.

Wait, did Houghton already announce? Sky is saying Labour held, but only has 2 decided seats.


If all the polls close at once, why does it take so much longer for the rest of this poo poo than Newcastle and Sunderland?

Dumb question: any likelihood in DUP requesting and being granted the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland role as part of their coalition negotiations?

'Cos that sounds like a right shitshow especially if Stormont is still suspended?

Constituencies always have their own sense of identity. It's okay to be a yank and not understand that, but it is true.

There is always somewhere just down the road you're better than and some hoity toity fuckers five minutes away by car who think they're so much better than you. To not understand that is to not understand the UK.

I'd be really curious how they define abusive tweets because MPs themselves have been claiming "twitter guy telling me my politics are poo poo" as abuse for a while now

Chi Onwurah. Uses the all lives matter argument to say racism is worse than rape because the operation sanctuary report and an EDL march.

quote:

But to say, as Sarah Champion did, that “Britain has a problem with British Pakistani men raping and exploiting white girls” is either saying that Pakistanis are more likely to rape and more likely to rape white girls, or that the rape of white girls is more of a problem than the rape of, for example, white boys or brown girls. We have a huge problem with sexual violence against children and vulnerable adults. After tabloid headlines about “Muslim rapists”, one of my constituents who was himself raped as a child expressed concern that his abuse did not raise the same kind of outrage and therefore the same level of awareness.

Many of the perpetrators were identified by family and friends – members of the communities accused of supporting these criminals. Almost all the perpetrators were of Asian Muslim descent, and it is right that the serious case investigation should consider what shared values, background, employment or interests brought these men together, whether there was a criminal culture that “normalised” this abuse, and how that culture was formed. I will be writing to the investigating officer to ensure he does so.

quote:

So which is worse, rape or racism? The answer, of course, is to reject any such choice. We must seek out and eradicate misogyny and sexism wherever it may be; condemn absolutely those who would judge or disrespect women and girls on the basis of their appearance or background; recognise that male violence against women has no race and no religion; invest in the measures necessary to prevent others becoming victims; and protect, champion and honour the survivors who, through their bravery, are helping to make our imperfect society safer.

In racism the life altering act isn't racism, it's assault, or judicial malice or any other small but meaningful act. The key is 'leads to' not is.

I would be totally on board with dodgy, lazy pigs who want to blame talk sports gripe of the day for why they wanted a cheese burger more than a safe community if it was just Rotherham or Bristol or Newcastle. There is a pattern there now but everyone is falling over themselves trying to say but what about how people acted in the 80s or Jimmy Saville or dinner other thing. Those are all important things that should be dealt with but the reason people are taking about Muslim immigrant rape gangs is because the exact same thing keeps happening and nobody seems to want to be proactive about it.
