the CEO of north west england speaks

the language of remembrance is about noble sacrifice and serves to legitimise slaughter past and present, it’s ridiculous to couch it as something apolitical and personal when it is quite evidently organised top-down and rigorously policed

to be fair their policy of self-imploding and completely cratering all support for the party could genuinely be life-changing

imagine being a labour mp parachuted into an arbitrary northern seat by the leadership and indulging in this authentocrat nonsense. obviously this is one of the most shameless men in britain but come on

wonder if anyone earnestly listens to that “darling hold my hand” song outside of the jet2 advert

is the training data for this a load of people in k holes

fed up of seeing (blue) labour croydon mayoral candidate rowenna davis going on about how the streets are so unsafe in croydon, just utter fucking nonsense

love it when the guardian, where “comment is free” put out an article they are so confident about that they turn the comments off

we’re sick and tired of people talking britain down (from the roof of a 20-storey building). react if you agree

This is amazing. I laughed out loud www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle...

fiona bruce consistently shuts down panellists on question time when things get a bit heated. quite apart from anything else, surely it is better TV to let them argue?

the sooner this guy is managing a matalan in a retail park on the outskirts of a provincial town the better

if we got rid of cars entirely, “potholes” as a concept would be over, just like that

Imagine having a single point of failure for all of your personal data, all tied to a tiny, easily lost or stolen tracking device you carry around with you everywhere.

I don't care if someone arrived on the back of a lorry last week and can't get a job. They're no different than the home-grown millions of Brits that are considered by the elites a 'drain on society', but nobody suggests expelling *them* from the UK. Freedom of movement is absolute!

this is such an intensely stupid argument cos i really think there is no limit to how much they would be prepared to fund this kind of shit if they got in

why can’t people like this just quietly change their mind themselves and/or admit they were wrong and take their humiliation without having to be coddled by everyone back into reasonable society?

people like this look for nuance in every situation because they think it makes them look intelligent – when it is often done in lieu of actually thinking about the situation

straight out of the starmer playbook

how is ed balls at that banquet? really scraping the barrel there

No words.

can’t think of a single worse piece of attire than one of those plastic england-flag bowler hats

have they… arrested led by donkeys??

– Shon Faye

if you write something and it occurs to you to add “just a thought” you should delete that shit straight away because it is almost certainly one of the stupidest things you have ever conceived of

my feeling is this will be much more lib-coded, led by donkeys type stuff. which is fine but these people are also needed when our actual homegrown fascists are on the streets and not just for a stage-managed visit of a far-right foreign dignitary

eight (8) people charged from the fash demo on saturday, eight!

think we are genuinely days away from Phase Three

are there any labour HQ staffers from 2017 who *didn’t* make lurid comments about diane abbott?

A lot of people are going to get really in the weeds about "how did it go so wrong" with Starmer, but the simple answer is his project was dependent on the biggest cunts in the country. The Labour Right.

wow

i think this kind of shit feels extremely 2016 and utterly fails to meet the moment

how would i be at a cognitive disadvantage, when i will have been the one continuing to use my brain? what are these people gonna do once, say, these glasses have been punched off their face?

how can the benefit of the doubt seriously be extended to people attending a tommy robinson demo?

where were these real grown-ups yesterday?

also if starmer has now decided that fascist violence on the streets is in fact bad then peter kyle should be sacked for his remarks this morning

we are back to the idea that the world, not even just the UK, would be vastly different if jeremy crombyn simply hadn’t done a big brexit

“we will not stand for assaults on police or people intimidated on the streets”. well… you literally just have

I am not interested in ‘not everyone who was there was a fascist’ conversations. If you attend a demo called by a fascist, you are taking part in a fascist demo. It should not be difficult to grasp this.

I am advocating for you to be killed but I am using my inside voice you must debate me this is called democracy

You will either become a fascist or a communist in the next 20 years so you might as well take your pick now

fighting fascism, one chart at a time

right, but these are just words… where were all the libdems and centrist types yesterday? all the thousands from the EU marches? why is it left to the left to stand up against fascism?

is this the only government comment so far? nobody should ever put any faith in any of these people again 👍

it’s a totally different proposition. it’s about being there en masse to resist actual fascists on the streets, so that the police have to escort them back to where they came from and they aren’t loose on the streets of london with 10 pints in them like they were yesterday

so peter kyle thinks that 100,000 racists in london is actually good because it proves that freedom of association and speech is a alive and well – zero follow-up to that from laura k

christ i forgot how useless laura k is, can’t even land a blow on *peter kyle*

he was at the arsenal game most of the afternoon jonn, give him a break
