That's not what "reported cases" means but also lol at "respecting brexit", you disingenuous prick. You know full loving well the issue is another eleven plus months of the thread being full of: "hey, have poor people started dying in droves yet? Really excited to watch that as an outside observer, just so I can tell a thread full of people who knew brexit was a bad idea that I told them so". Just gently caress off you grotesque oval office.

well, I'd argue the brexit vote was just as perfectly valid a response to working class concerns on elitist rule and immigration as was the trump vote. i agree the forums tend to have a less than respectful discourse on these matters, but I'm quite puzzled by just how defensively you react--i'm less than convinced incandescent rage is a great mental model for this. maybe you find it helpful.

but for my own part, I object to the suggestion that a political subject be censored on the grounds the thing hurts people--and certainly not by appeals to decorum or tone. certainly, that would also apply to global capitalism, the climate crisis and, as mentioned, the donald trump. i've certainly never seen poster location acknowledged as relevant to thread participation--even so i'll certainly consider moderating myself in the future, now that I've a better handle on your honest concern.
I'm not proposing we censor the topic at all, I just think (quite rightly) that you coming in here to be a smug oval office and gloat about how it's going to do real harm to the most disadvantaged people in this country is tedious and lovely and, what's more, completely redundant. We all know it was a terrible idea and that people voted for it for the worst possible reasons and that a lot of the people who champion it most ardently are the worst loving cunts on this earth. All of those things can be true and I can think you're a lovely loving dickhead for doing nothing but go "hey, have terrible things that won't affect me in the least started happening to you guys yet? Just let me know when they do because man, are my balls blue", they're not mutually exclusive concepts :v:

Honestly, I think anyone hoping for an exciting apocalypse is going to be disappointed - everything will probably just grind on like it always has, getting steadily worse but not severely enough that the public will be moved to do anything about it :smith:

Yeah, from the reports, the reason he was stopped so quickly was that there were armed surveillance officers lurking in the vicinity and they confronted him as soon as he kicked off.

Given he'd been released from prison, there wasn't much more they could do.
Are you suggesting that armed police were following him around waiting for him to stab people because they knew he was planning an attack (since he was under surveillance) but couldn't just do him for carrying knives because :siren:reasons:siren:?

I don't know. My issue isn't with the notion that white boys might be underachieving, it's specifically with her giving ammo to the absolute worst kind of dickheads by saying it's because there's too much focus on girls and minorities. There's very little chance she didn't say that specifically because it plays well with daily mail racists.

Either tell us what your great wisdom has to offer on the matter or shut the gently caress up. Everyone who's gonna spend the next five years whining about electability and "learning lessons" should just skip ahead to the part where they join blue labour and throw minorities under the bus and save us all some time tbh.

I realise that the election loss was incredibly upsetting but if your greatest concern is that you looked like a dick for being on the losing team and that must not happen again no matter the cost then you need to give yourself a serious talking to before you end up voting tory next time :v:

I just went to the corner shop before the storm rolls in. I said "gently caress it" and went out in my already-on girl clothes rather than changing to boy clothes as I always have before. This is the FIRST TIME I've been out in girl clothes.

I was crossing the street when a couple walking their dog crossed from the other side. The dog was dawdling and the woman goes "Cross! Cross, cross!" and the dog did but then spotted me and came up to investigate and the woman goes "No carry on, she doesn't want ya!" (This was a lie the dog was v. adorable but).
