Scotland voting against independence from the English in 2014 was a case of Stockholm Syndrome that dates back 370 years before Stockholm Syndrome even existed.

Spex pests.

I think "Henry Nowak protestors" (Telegraph) seems a very inappropriate label for these violent scenes, dishonouring the murder victim + ignoring the calls of his family not to do this. "Protestors throw bricks and bottles at police in violent rage after Southampton murder" would be much better.

Angry Coked Up Thumb Men dancing to the whim of Millionaire Posh Boys because Millionaire Posh Boys took all the money and jobs and blamed The Forrins. It really doesn't get any more blatant what the game is. It's so transparent at this point.

I am once again wondering whether "no, the legitimate concerns racists don't have a point, fuck off, they're racist" might have been a better way of combating the far right.

OK, so Helen Whately and the Express are doubling down and going all out hysterical at this point...🙄 They've actually "calculated" the state benefits a man with ELEVEN WIVES could claim!! And this time, they've done it behind a paywalled article🤷‍♀️ But don't worry, I got behind it!🤓 🧵1/20

Are...are they going to change this law via use of a Henry VIII clause

My interview with Nigel Farage

The Conservatives’ Alternative King’s Speech claimed the welfare bill is higher than income tax receipts “for the first time ever”. We’ve heard this a few times recently, but it’s not true. Welfare spending (including pensions) has been higher for years.

I think the relationship between we, the people, and those that presume to govern us has to be reconfigured so that our leaders feel the precariousness of their position from day one. Some sort of Rancor pit below the commons would probably do the trick.

The Onion ass headline

Bloody hell.

Every guy in a videogame:

A vote for Reform, is a vote for concentration camps. The reference to Green constituencies is a mere distraction from the violence cretins like Zia Yusuf wants to inflict on our communities.

It's truly a rags to riches sporting fairytale to warm bluest of hearts. www.theguardian.com/football/202...

The fuck? Good job she is never wrong or this would be awful.

Pens for everyone (to use on their ballot papers)

useful reminder from Private Eye

The right to protest isn’t a gift from government. It’s a democratic principle, hard-won and easily lost. Last night the government tried to smuggle through a “cumulative disruption” power that would let police ban protests simply because other people had protested in the same area before. (1/5)

What kind of late-stage capitalism fuck is this shit? Just order your coffee and go about your day. Best case scenario is the bastarding AI hallucinates you a tea order instead.

He knows full well that this is rubbish. It's those that listen to him that don't have a Scooby Doo and he has no intention of telling them the truth.

COUNTERPOINT: Swearing is both big AND clever, and deployed correctly, reveals a healthily expanded vocabulary. For those too scared of the proper use of the English language, “fudge”, “sugar” and (daringly) “cockwomble” are available.

Marathon talks? Compared to what? It took years for Obama to deliver a detailed Iran deal. The Trump admin are packing it in after 20 hours. (H/T @bgrueskin.bsky.social)

I can't stop laughing at this post. It's perfect.

Man who had cartoon murals painted over to stop child asylum seekers from having a pleasant environment now want to stop poor British kids from going to the zoo. The pure cruelty of the man in pursuit of his own unworthy personal ambitions is just staggering.

Tripe. I've had it twice.

CHESTER JAWS #FacebookNews

It's hard thinking of uplifting content to fill our social media accounts with just now. Misinformation and fearmongering are scuppering humanist and secular causes at home and abroad. So here's a statue just unveiled in Kazakhstan of some men who formed a human chain to rescue a dog from a canal.

Again, the allegation here has to be left unsaid because the moment you spell it out it makes no sense – to affect the result here the claim needs to be that Gorton and Denton was full of Muslim women who wanted to vote Reform, but were coerced by their husbands into voting Green instead.

Just had this flagged with me. This is disgusting. If Kemi Badenoch had one ounce of leadership in her, she would condemn this. I don’t want any faux sadness from her or Nick Timothy when one of us is hurt or worse. This is how low the Conservative Party have sunk.

I have never seen a cross-examination go so badly

#BrokenNews: Jesus Tragedy

Hey, I am not saying I have found the *BEST* commentary for yesterday, but I think I have (Argentina). 😂 Covers both Arsenal goals, Gyökeres and Max Dowman. I promise you won't be disappointed. 🔴⚪🔊

Obviously there are more graphically impressive ones since, but nevertheless Tetris remains the single most perfectly and ingeniously designed video game ever made.

The finest take down of the institution of monarchy and "class" and the grasping, greedy, venal, entitled, and very stupid people it enables that you will read today or any day. www.lrb.co.uk/the-paper/v4...

Knock yerself out:

One one hand I believe that when a country incarcerates someone, that a duty of care exists. On the other hand Ian Huntley is dead.

This perfectly illustrates my point that the British tabloids are aiming at a US audience. There like 5 people in the UK who think about this. But it is huge among US evangelicals. British politicians need to ignore UK tabloids, as UK tabloids are talking to an audience in the US for clicks.

Never forget: 8 years ago a random person on Craigslist wrote the most effective ad for the Toyota Corolla, ever.

She’s learnt her lesson about wanting hotels full of foreigners and immigrants being burnt down. See. Prison does work
