butbutbut Burnham's too much of a *gasp* CORBYNISTA :byodood:

i’ll believe he’s a comrade when i loving see it. it’s very easy to make left wing noises when you’re mayor of manchester. although i guess london is similarly red and sadiq khan has made an art form out of doing and saying less than nothing

I never said Burnham's a comrade, I said he's someone who the press would vilify as a Corbyn supporter

Corbyn was no comrade, after all, since he let dipshits like Kieth into his shadow cabinet and allowed the Labour right to undermine him at every opportunity

he really was just a very nice man :’)

sometimes you need an iron fist inside a velvet glove like stalin, mao or, uh, brown

I kind of admire Carrie tbh: she clearly has a long term plan and I don't think Johnson is going to be featuring in it.

you lose all sympathy in this regard the moment you involve a child, however generous the alimony is after he gets caught loving his secretary/the ubereats driver/a leftover bit of pork loin that you might mistake for a vagina if you’re really hammered

Ah yes, the party with *checks notes* 6.09% of the vote and 7 seats in the Knesset are clearly role models for Kieth to aspire to

unironically yes - they absolutely love third way social democratic parties that literally every normal person hates

Oh good, the woman that thought that banning smoking in cars containing children was wrong because it infringed on freedom is environment secretary. Pump all the shite into the water you like boys, smell that freedom!

Yeah I dunno why people think Sunak is a moderate. Maybe it's because of the whole minority thing?

He's a proper Tory nutjob.

he handed out a shitload of money during the pandemic which tbf i'm pretty sure everyone in the party would prefer the public forget as soon as possible

You stand accused of both having a cat and pursuing a hobby while ranked Social Grade D, citizen, how do you plead?

you can get misanthropic about this but it's really just a function of people regurgitating the right wing propaganda they're fed daily. the average person's 'beliefs' are largely inchoate with the main differentiating factor being 'is this happening to me, someone i know, or someone else?'

ask the average person for their qualitative opinion on the homeless for instance and watch them tie themselves up in knots trying to express the unspoken party line that homeless people must have done something to deserve it because if they didn't they wouldn't be homeless

Holy poo poo those numbers on Just Stop Oil. I thought there would be a bit more middle class kayfabe of "well their hearts are in the right place but their methods are misguided" but it's straight up almost half of respondents saying they're a force for bad.

again the result of a massively successful right wing propaganda campaign. if the non-logged-in youtube frontpage is anything to go by, mainstream news and social media is full to bursting with universally negative wailing about them. i think it really resonates with people because everyone is one step away from reactionary fuckwit when they get behind the wheel of a car. just pure lizard brained id with no conscious thought beyond WHY ARE THEY STOPPING ME FROM GETTING WHERE I NEED TO GO

Woke lefty cancel culture students are in fact very lazy.

When I was at uni (during the H-block dirty protests so very very many moons ago), our college (it was a collegiate uni) president wanted to donate ALL the student union funds to the IRA. As hardly anyone ever turned up to union meetings he thought it would just waft on through (noone ever challenged that the meeting was inquorate until they wanted to wind up the meeting).
Someone found out though and practically the entire college turned out - a couple of thousand crammed in the gym - and voted it down.

i mean this guy sound a awesome; no notes

As someone who lived in Bristol with it mostly being 20MPH, it’s fine, you just need to consider the fact that you might not be able to overtake cyclists and that should be fine with people as they can’t overtake motorbikes and same thing.

being able to overtake cyclists in an incredibly unsafe manner that almost kills them is the bread and butter of the british motorist. why would you buy a bmw if you're not allowed to do this?
