And as a tweet posted a few pages ago asked, what does it say about the absolute state of this country that he is still in the job?

the party of serial grifters and charlatans voted a man who is so stupid, inept and incompetent he's been rewarded for failing at every job post he's ever held and didn't expect he'd have to do anything but make peculiar wet lip smacking noises and fart sounds to get votes. But they're also not gonna get rid of him because that means appointing someone even more stupid and incompetent who can win the votes next election.

Hey in Lighter news JK rowling has gone completely off the deep end and is writing a book about a serial killer cis man crossdressing as a women in order to kill women, (presumably, knowing JK rowling, in womens shelters). Really not sure what the gently caress is going on in her head but honestly it's the kind of mental state that gets people recruited into neo nazi groups.

A handy list of politicians who think that a throwaway comment in the house of commons matters more than child poverty.
Keith will have his hands full trying to capitulate his way to victory over this, so maybe we could write back to these MPs with some advice on the relative values of words vs deeds? They do like letters after all.
Anyone got the chops to pull the names of that letter and match it with the directory of MPs?

Re: Sodastreams they're absolute loving garbage and you can make soda water at home using an old coke bottle, a regulator, some adaptors and a bottle of food grade (ask for whatever they'd sell for use in beer carbonation) CO2 from your local BOC gas merchant. Sodastream are absolute crooks and honestly they rely on the equipment being just slightly too esoteric for the layman to build but actually super straight forward once you understand them.

I missed that the Government buried the publication of the Cygnus report during the Manchester brouhaha last week https://archive.vn/dKQyb

Also it turns out that Hunt is such a soft twat he can't even turn off pretend ventilators in a pretend pandemic https://archive.vn/ZmSmq

The press dragged corbyn over the coals for not willingly murdering 50 million Russians in nuclear hellfire for no adequately explained reason but hunt is apparently given a free pass to kill hundreds of thousands of british people in a pandemic scenario by refusing to take his job seriously and accept the responsibilities that come with it.

edit: as I recall the main thing that the NHS took from cygnus was that in a time of crisis the government may not actually have people willing to make the tough choices that need to be made to save lives, hilariously, because of this.

Arguing that you should eat a poo poo burger instead of a poo poo sandwich because at least the poo poo burger is marginally smaller and therefore has less fecal matter in it, because hey, you gotta eat something! Isn’t an argument, it’s a Torture dungeon.

Labour under starmer isn’t going to do anything other than adjust the knobs on the loving machine so it maybe fucks you only 5% more than this year instead Of The tories 10%. The only way you personally send a message that this isn’t okay is to not vote for them.

Biden likely has a majority of mail in votes since democrats were more likely to get one this year due to covid, whereas republicans were more likely to go cough in each others mouths and dying by going to the polling booth. But also yes, it looks at a glance like the dems have somehow picked a candidate who couldn’t even beat the worst president the USA has ever had, who is currently more unpopular than jimmy carter was when he lost his second term election. Truly labour needs To follow the dems example and pick the most useless, handwringing neoliberal centrist we can to win going forward.

Re Biden: he’s completely a pro establishment, pro status quo candidate. If the status quo isn’t working for like 50% of americans, why is promising them the status quo with maybe some minor sweeteners a vote winner? Answer: it’s not. This is what Hilary learnt to her cost. Biden might well learn the same. Hopefully the dems and the Labour Party will learn something from this but I doubt it. To liberals, everything is fine and nothing needs to change, even while the working class are unable to even feed their kids.

Just a reminder that Amanda Knox tried to frame an innocent man for the murder of Meridith Kercher. And that Patrick Lumbumba would have likely gone down for that murder, had he not been lucky enough to have a university professor provide him with a rock solid alibi on the night in question.

I'm not defending the Italian Polices actions or even there version of events. What I am critical of is how Amanda Knox offered up an innocent man to save her own skin.
History is full of instances of people being wrongfully arrested for crimes they didn't do (like the Birmingham Six or the Guildford Four.) And they didn't try to stitch someone e else up.

The police literally wouldn’t let her leave the room till she told them who her accomplice was, despite her pleas the contrary, so you’re absolutely full of poo poo mate.
