Life of Brian taught me that. "Capricorn, eh? Well what are they like?" "He is our Messiah, King of the Jews." "...and that's Capricorn, is it?"

keep punching joe posted:I've been on this train, very big and comfy. Had a car that was decked out like a 50s diner, selling this brown caramelised cheese on a waffle. Had another car that was a soft play area where you could dump your kids. 10 out of 10. I wonder how often people get off the train and leave their kids in the soft play. Accidentally or otherwise.

Good morning to the shadowy figures from the Labour thread on theforum365 who are lurking this thread right now. Hope you're having a fun time obsessing over my internet presence. Love from your favourite crank cultist. X e: And an extra hello to Prole if you're one of them doing some sort of weird bit to try to coax objectionable statements out of us for your inter-forum drama. That "Israeli spy" edit of yours earlier isn't quite on brand, calm it down maybe? sebzilla fucked around with this message at 12:37 on Jan 15, 2022 |

OwlFancier posted:My enduring memory of new labour was blair jumping ship the minute it looked like all the poo poo he'd been doing might catch up with him and then seemingly non stop poo poo coming up the entire time brown was in charge, so low rent tory boy club is exactly what I expect from this lot. You'd think Blair leaving how/when he did and bequeathing Gordy a poisoned chalice would have coloured his acolytes opinions of him a bit. Fairly clear he'd have taken a kicking in 2010, maybe worse than Brown did. As it is, the mystique of the three-time winner prevails.

ThomasPaine posted:If we accept that the BBC is a state mouthpiece that also, in its non-political programming, produces some excellent stuff, then I'd ask what we would actually gain by losing it? We'd lose the good stuff, but it's not like the 'independent' media isn't also stuffed full of Tories who'd do just as much to body any perceived left-wing threat. As far as I can see, minus the BBC we'd just be in exactly the same place we are now but with none of the niche documentaries etc and even more private control over the media landscape. Hardly any great victory really. The only big problem with the organisation (relative to any other media org) is that we're conditioned to see it as this completely impartial, trustworthy source, but surely we can challenge that without tearing the whole thing down? The point I suppose is that people itt are not generally advocating its removal, but also not proposing to expend serious energy in defending it. You're right that the BBC disappearing wouldnt be a "great victory" but I'm also not going to lose any sleep over it.
