I just did a tweet at the tories including the words 'tory idiots' and twitter said "most people don't tweet like this are you sure you don't want to change it" (or something like that). Anyway, I tweeted it. But I mean, has twitter auto-mod ever read twitter?

the new version got very aggressive against lefties after Musk took over twitter, it was almost overnight that every time you told a right-wing shitheel to smoke turds the tweet interface would ask you to be less mean

So 4 Protestants, including a former active Loyalist (no embellishment given) were arrested over the "New IRA's" (air quotes mine) murder of lead detective Jim Caldwell.

This comes days after 4 men who were initially arrested regarding the killing, all well-known Republicans, were released unconditionally.

I understand that some of you hate living in your native England or Scotland or, god forbid, Guernsey.

But please understand the absolute loving damage living in this impoverished remnant of an apartheid state has on the human soul, every single loving day.

Besides it's not their head shape it's that all tories go to specific barber shops and ask for "The oval office" and while it varies person to person the overall effect is the same: instantly clockable.

Both in terms of being able to clock them and wanting to clock them.

but not, necessarily, the royal navy, which has a particular habit of suggesting that geography is actually a boat so i see no reason why they could not simply commission as many aircraft carriers as they like.

The Royal Navy was prohibited from ruling over land, so the land was commissioned as a ship.

I cannot tell if this is parody or not. It seems not but I can't believe this is an actual opinion anyone would be stupid enough to vocalise the thought that Anne Frank was bad for breaking the law by trying not to be sent to a death camp.

Nah read it again - Corbyn is saying the Tories are willing to break the law (bad) in order to do their policy (bad), this carcinogen is saying that Anne Frank broke the law in order to try and survive.

Therefore because one instance where violating the law was good, by the transient property all violations of the law is good. Except when Tony Blair violated the law, which was bad.

apparently is considered to be 'a lovely part of South London'

South London is, at least from my family's experience (based in Norwood), where the paups are meant to rot in misery while commuting to provide services to the rich closer/north of the river.

Any South London goons can feel free to counter me but coming from a nowhere town to visit family in South London was astounded how lovely the area was compared to my glorified car park for the train station.

I can’t help but be amused by the hills that Hitchens chooses to die on. He loathes daylight savings, and the concept of New Year too, for examples

I will agree with him that Daylight Savings is bad - there is at least some evidence that it increases the risk of heart attacks due to loving with our circadian rhythms https://openheart.bmj.com/content/1/1/e000019
