It's basically just the Mash Report (which already has Geoff Norcott's Mandatory Racist 5 Minutes anyway) and occasionally Frankie Boyle left on the BBC that can possibly be considered left-wing.

Just occurred to me yesterday about the advocacy for right wing comedians on the BBC. I find myself wondering exactly what jokes they would be able to make if you gave them a set.

It reminds me of SNL hiring Shane Gillis pre season to fill out a right-wing diversity quota, and then firing him before the season started because surprise surprise, he was a racist, homophobic piece of poo poo.

If you look at the values the right stands for how the gently caress are they supposed to say any of it? Racism? Not allowed, not even foot-in-the-door calling refugees immigrants stuff. Economic stuff's not going to work because everyone's currently being hosed by the economy. Authoritarian right? Homophobia? Sexism?

The one thing right wing comedians are allowed to say is 'the left is bad' and make jokes about feeling being hurt. That's it. That's all they have, they strip mined it for any possible humour in under a minute, and now it's just spite fuelled wankers repeating variants of that joke to each other.

Their entire ideology and platform is just whining about the left, and whenever someone points this out and asks them to talk about what they are for, they're either clever enough to say they're "nit allowed to say it" and dogwhistle their way out of it, or dumb enough to actually say it and immediately get shitcanned.

No wonder they're not loving funny.

What I love about that poster is that it was never actually used because its distribution was intended to essentially be the final act of the UK government after a catastrophic defeat to the Nazis. It’s not a noble cry of fortitude against adversity, it’s an incredibly bleak cry for serenity in the face of imminent annihilation.

UK health screening advisers not involved in 'moonshot' Covid plan

Exclusive: Public health experts say it is ‘incomprehensible’ NSC not consulted on £100bn rapid mass testing project

This government is so utterly transparent, and not in the good way. Boris gets COVID and almost dies, and a couple months later, the NHS is instructed to crack down on obesity to help against the pandemic. Despite the fact that experts have told them this would happen from the beginning, the Tories managed to delude themselves into believing that the virus was just going away, and then when the infection rates start to creep up again they panic and concoct a vague plan that makes no sense but they think they can just make it work by throwing an astronomical amount of money at it. I genuinely think a group of children would do a similar job.

Maybe the silver lining will be that the public will begin to turn on them? I think a second lockdown and "Christmas is Cancelled" could be disastrous for the Tories. We already had almost all the papers (including the right-wing ones) making GBS threads on the moonshot plan and using that picture of Boris looking bewildered at the press conference.

Do you idiots even click the video before responding to it?

"Black oval office lives matter" cripes thats a bit spicy, that's hateful as gently caress in fact, what a damning indicator of how awful etc etc except what the bloke very obviously actually said was "black cabs lives matter".

That tweet isn't just objectively explicitly directly lying it's passively lying too, "he would have gotten attacked in this instance" no probably not, literally nothing to indicate that. "Listen to the hate" no, calling a mayor a oval office because they haven't put any contracts out to tender or whatever is obviously based on some specific grievance, not an amorphous evil bigotry.

Twitter user @khaycer is a lying little twat, presumably for the clicks, and you all drama jump to 'omg it's Children of Men!' and 'there is literally no legitimate reason to not like Sadiq Khan' stop being so loving credulous.

Mate, whether he said “black cunts” or “black cabs” as I said, anyone that animatedly angry at a man as forgettable as Sadiq Khan is racist. And also, suggesting that the plight of black cab drivers is anything like the plight of black people is, you know, racist.

Wait what was she radicalised to?

This is such a wanky article she meanders about hating I, Daniel Blake (shocker) and Zoom calls but never actually makes the radical statement. She explicitly admits sex and gender are different but then constantly implies she doesn't actually believe that, and makes a vague rebuttal to the fake argument that "these mental lefties are saying sex doesn't even exist!" which am I blind? 1. I'm online and discourse-poisoned as gently caress and just genuinely don't see people making that argument and 2. 'well the people that say X also say Y, so even if I believe X I must unfortunately reject it' is the most transparently dishonest incoherent bullshit, just admit you don't think self-determined gender identity is valid you cowardly gently caress.


Nope, this isn't an argument anymore, the great trans takeover of sports has been worried over for half a decade now but visibly isn't happening, and in the usually direct-contact sports where it has specifically emerged it's actively being addressed by using biological categorisations that aren't locked to a gender binary.

Not saying sports orgs have figured it all out yet but this idea that 'hurf sports are letting trans women batter females' is so loving dishonest and insulting, it's peak no-nothing lib poo poo.

The fact that someone was paid actual money for writing that piece is as damning an indictment of the UK press as you’re likely to find.

Dunno if this has been discussed, but it seems pretty good to me. I still want Momentum to try and secure internal Labour elections for the Left, but so far that's all they've done when they were pitched as much more of a community group. Mobilising people to peacefully resist evictions is perfect.

Yes, we're looking to do a few campaigns like this a year now (I think we've also got something on nursing coming up down the pipe). If anyone wants to get involved with the housing campaign, they can do so here. Evictions are beginning today, so it's going to get pretty bad.
