brexit negging when yr mandate is is trash: or further chronicles of a garbage-fire

it's called The Canary and it's godawful

Some people are pleading frivolous bantz on O'Mara's behalf and it's a Guido job etc, but it is indefensible stuff and shows under the nice-guy act lurks a deeply unpleasant dickhead imo. So a typical politician after all.

I mean specifically in the Shittersphere, although probably the ones defending him are the same jerkoffs that rt every bastard Canary article, Orwell meme etc...

and commonly prepared and sold by Greek Cypriots

... in London, Italians everywhere else?

"Writing on Drowned in Sound website in November 2004, he posted:"

I din't realise the Jared O'Mara outrage was from when he was a teenager ffs!

His behaviour as a teenager is almost as reprenhensible as a 53 year old Foreign Secretary.

he was born in 1981 so not quite a teenager by 2004, but yeah.

not sure how old he was when posting on Morrissey Solo to angrily reject the idea that Morrissey might be homosexual

35

I don't get the greg hands controversy (some ratio on that tweet tho). can someone pls ELI5

they are all bad and so are we

oh I think I get it. greg hands thinks the UK invented the doner kebab?

Right, have I been getting my fish and chips and doner kebabs mixed up?

real england :(

the uk invented the munchy box and that's all that matters 🎉🇬🇧🎉🇬🇧

the doner kebab was invented in Germany.

yep the dude that invented it died last year, in Germany I believe.

however it was perfected at Indus, Newland Avenue, Hull

You mean, Crystal, Holloway Road surely?

need to organize some sort of ILX kebab exchange to judge this fairly

If this won’t drag Ken Chu back to ILX, nothing will.

Debbie Abrahams has secured an emergency debate on the UC rollout tomorrow.

at the same time, nusrat ghani's motion for an emergency debate on clive lewis' comments has been absolutely seen off by bercow

Drowned in Sound, eh.

The thing about 'scandals' like this is that exactly the same type of scandal carries more or less weight with different politicians, depending on how powerful and entrenched they are - the stuff Boris Johnson keeps on getting away with makes me feel fairly unbothered by this guy's DiS postings about wanting an orgy with Girls Aloud.

Not that this is exactly the same as Boris Johnson scandal because that would probably involve public racist comments but you know what I mean

The Bercow thing in more detail:

re: Jared. Like with a lot of these things it depends on the tone of the apology...

https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2017/oct/23/labour-mp-jared-omara-sheffield-hallam-sorry-girls-aloud-orgy

Jared quits.

quits equality committee, I should have added.

Sad to realize this probably means Dom Passantino will never be an mp

just started typing a "pour one out" joke, gave up in ennui

See he goes but Johnson doesn't go, you know

As Francis Ryan said earlier, he definitely should be replaced on the committee by another disabled MP. From that massive pool of disabled MP's out there obv. I bet there are some twitchy MP's across the board at the moment, with a similarly traceable online presence from the early period Wild West of internet days!

I'd wish we could give people a second chance? Or at least accept that when people are teenagers/YA's they say dumb stuff (which 100% of them) which cannot be carried after the person forever. Which is *not* to dismiss his remarks, at all, but the greediness in the search to nail people doesn't sit well with me either.

Yeah exactly - though there is a more disturbing account (again from Guido, eh) that at some point he owned a nightclub where he allowed a bouncer to hit a woman in the face - the woman is a constituent and wrote about her concerns in an open letter

Everyone has shit they've posted on the internet. Including me, look at some of the crap I've come out with on here, and that recently. I think almost no-one uses internet forums as if they were a public figure - you assume anonymity and a bit of leeway to think out loud, be shouted at by smarter users, improve, etc

and in that spirit i hereby launch my own political car-

I'd already decided he was an irredeemable piece of shit when I found out that he used to post on a site called Morrissey Solo.*

*http://www.htfc-world.com/extras/humour.gif

the only ilxors who can become politicians are the ones who are sitemods and who can therefore edit/delete their entire posting history. ideally a solid labour type, but also with that edge of metropolitan sophistication that might prove popular with a variety of demographics. can't think of anyone on here like all that though

i mean in an absolutely ideal world they'd be massive fans of balearic dance music too, but one can scarcely even wish for such things

LBI what on earth :D

> I'd wish we could give people a second chance? Or at least accept that when people are teenagers/YA's they say dumb stuff (which 100% of them) which cannot be carried after the person forever.

this was actually part of recent tory thinking:

"Theresa May is planning to introduce huge regulations on the way the internet works, allowing the government to decide what is said online.
...
The laws would also force technology companies to delete anything that a person posted when they were under 18."

Aight :)

I'd vote for Nabisco for president. Because Nabisco is otm.

I'd also welcome Garu G as a Lord Buckethead-like dictator as our new overlord.

Just found a General Election candidate's DrownedInSound forum username from 2005.

… then at last they delved for the pathologically cryptic, and my election hopes blinked out of existence
