Theresa May quitting before she's thrown out is enraging. Partly because the only joy this election is going to give me is seeing all the old villains getting humiliated and replaced by younger, unknown villains, but mostly because I have to see people pretend she was hard done by or not a complete piece of poo poo. She was a racist by even the standards of the tory party. She refused to do anything about rape at Yarl's Wood camp because it might negatively affect Serco's profits. Windrush immigrants were deported with dementia to countries they had never been in. She sent out vans that literally told immigrants to "GO HOME". Absolute scumbag.

I'm trying to think of a musical instrument that didn't get invented outside of western europe and I'm struggling. I think it would have to be some sort of modern electronic thing because I feel like the rest of the world already invented all the ways to get noise out of bits of tree and animals and rocks.

I guess you could go with independent invention but I can't think of anything unique.

It's remarkable how radicalising it's been for the celebrity class to go on twitter and have people not like them. For years we thought PR was for us, but no, it was basically a bulwark against having celebrities discover that they're loving idiots who shouldn't be let out of containment.

Name these good people you dried up old hack.

Sick of this Centrist notion that the person with the most impressive CV obviously would be the best politician. If you paid MP's £200K and attracted the people who could earn £200k a year outside of politics you know what you'll get? A bunch of MP's who want to make sure that people getting £200k a year keep getting better and better deals and gently caress everyone else. Empty, dumb poo poo predicated on the idea that nothing needs fundamentally changed and we just need bright people to tinker around the edges.

How is paying MP's more going to attract more teachers and medical professionals going into the profession? How is it going to help them with suspending their careers? How is it going to stop the party process of weeding out anyone with even the slightest left wing ideals from becoming MP's?

I loving hate Iannucci. Great comedy writer but such a weak man.

Why is it news that a lass has big tits?

They're desperate for a conservative Taylor Swift and they're trying to manifest it by wanking about a blond lady with big boobs. They think that the Blond Bombshell has been a maligned concept since the rappers started going on about the asses and this is a Retvrn to tradition.

Essentially Conservative politics is stuck in 14 year old boy territory.

I do often wonder what chaos with Ed Milliband would have looked like.

Probably the same but with far less concessions dragged out by having an actual left wing opposition. Ed would have been gang pressed into doing an EU referendum and would have still lost, quickly been deposed by some right wing poo poo head like Keir Starmer and we'd probably be looking at a role reversal of the current situation but with Sunak in opposition.

Press dipshits run this country and they got everything they wanted and the country has gotten progressively worse every time with none of the blame being placed on them.

Not really sure why Captain Haddock is in the gang of angry lefty stereotypes standing in the way of Wes’s privatisation plans here



Hate this "Spare capacity" nonsense from Piss Streaking. I worked in an NHS funded Private sector Eating Disorder unit. It was a poo poo show. £3000 a bed and all the consultants were NHS doctors moonlighting or retired old foggies who were tragically out of touch and egotistical. Absolutely nothing done there was any different from what you would get in the NHS except the food was better and the majority of the work was done by HCA's being paid barely above the minimum wage.

A complete waste of money that would have been cheaper and better if they just funded the NHS properly. But then Wes wouldn't get his bribes, would he?

Beyond me why Rowling is considered an authority on anything other than being a successful author.

It's like asking Alan Shearer for a 140 character take on the civil war in Myanmar.

If Twitter was melted down and used for parts then at least these fuckers would have to do some work to get their bigotry out.

From a few pages back and I haven't caught up on the thread, but it's for the same reasons David Baddiel, Rachel Riley and other uninformed dolts with big followings, money and right wing views are treated as experts. They're useful attack dogs for the Press and others who radicalised them. The press can't outright say a lot of things because they get sued and have to issue corrections. But private citizens who get radicalised by the press by putting the two and two given to them and make five-hundred are going to give interviews, go on twitter and loudly shout to anyone who will listen that they've cracked the code and figured out the problem is the ones the press keeps saying are the problem. Then the Press give them cushy interviews that reinforce what the media told them. Then it becomes an endless feedback of Dogwhistle, Dogs barking and more dogwhistles. The celebrities are just small and numerous enough that it's not worth your time getting into prolonged and costly legal battles with them and just big enough to bully and attack anyone who calls them out on this behaviour.

JK Rowling is a huge get for the transphobes because she's isolated by her wealth, arrogant by her success, genuinely hurt by the people who loved her turning on her and obnoxiously powerful and petty. She's very litigious and will sue you if you point out how bigoted she is. She's got the wealth to destroy anyone who gets to her. She's a very useful attack dog for a Press who will use her bigotry as a proxy to advance the bigotry they want. If she destroys her reputation then who cares, The press are clean, their enemies have been savaged and another attack dog will spring up to be used. They won't hesitate to hang her out to dry the second she is no longer useful or becomes an embarrassment, as the press have done for Rachel Riley.

Essentially, the Press use celebrities like The West uses Israel against the Middle East, or Ukraine against Russia.

I took a bank shift in the Crystal healing centre King Charles is getting his cancer treatment in. We've shoved so many crystals up his rear end it's like he's been given backshots by a disco ball. My man has an rear end like a Dark Souls level. The Moonlit Butterfly has taken up residency in his rear end. We kept telling him he's got too many crystals but he just said he'd execute my mum if we didn't get the biggest one we could find and ram it up his rear end like we were trying to hide the Crown Jewels from the natives. We shone a torch up there and the refracting light was so intense he lit up like Dr Manhattan and he killed a nurse just by pointing at her.

lmao might be biting something too big there

Another example of what I was talking about. Radicalised by right wing journalists, became a true believer who treated this poo poo seriously rather than a nudging project to ensure more homophobic and right wing politics and as a result became more and more of an embarrassment to the cause and was hung out to dry as he lost everything.

The thing is that if we were supposed to take all the gender critical stuff seriously then Glinner is behaving how a moral person should. If there is a cabal of drag queens and queer people grooming our children then he's behaving morally. But it's bollocks. It's flagrant queer bashing bollocks. And now he's become the celebrity equivalent of the guy who firebombs the abortion clinic because he truly believes it's murder and is an embarrassment to the cause. But it's okay, because they have the next mark to radicalise in JK Rowling.

There should be studies on the radicalising nature of social media on celebrities and how it turns people with too much money and platform into raving idiots who self destruct their lives and careers over right wing views.

I used to clean toilets for work. Women can be just as, if not even more, disgusting than the men. Men just piss on the floor. Women left the place looking like a bomb site and some of them just pissed in their seats and left tissues on it to mop it up.
