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

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.*

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."

Big up every indie boy in 2005 who repeatedly reminded you they fancied Nicola from Girls Aloud. pic.twitter.com/RUlSsVqpG7

np LBI i'm tickled tbh

Mean composition for man and vacuum cleaner tbh

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.

lol

#portentous

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

lol!

The fascists took over Friends United, CB Radio AND DrownedInSound's forum with consummate ease in this era:(

Fiends Reunited I meant.

a scandal involving a Labour MP being outed as having made problematic posts to Drowned in Sound in the mid 2000s - this is making me feel old

It's par for the course with that site though, isn't it?

It’s improved in later years, according to Indie Sources.

100% passantino's tweet made this happen. Someone will have seen it and made notes, saving it for future use, to be shunted to a right wing drop-box like guido fuckwit at the appropriate time.

Anyway, before I take a position on the appropriate handling of this by the party I need to know, is this guy One of Us, or a Traitor Melt Chicken Coup Slug?

Prediction for 2020 and beyond: widespread revival of CB radio, as more and more ppl see benefit of having their unhinged and offensive babbling disappear into the ether rather than sitting around on servers for all time and either ruining your life when it emerges you called robbie savage a 'gaywad' on a football message board in 2002, or at best make you look stupid to cephalopod digital archaeologists in the 44th century

Maybe idk ppl* will chill out about things ppl said at some stage idk

*Not ppl on the left obv lol

Paul Staines starting a row about a lefty politician because of ancient comments on a message board is some ridiculous bullshit when considering the sorts of comments allowed BTL on any Guido post in 2017. Maybe clean up his own mess before weighing in? It all strikes me as a bit stone—>!glass house.

What a joke. Phillip Davies is on that committee as well..

Jared has forgotten the good habits from msg boards, namely the following:

- always attack
- if asked for an apology attack again, double the fuck down
- never log off until you are banned by the fascist mods

Yes the comments are horrible but he apologised. That's it. He should've attacked Guido back and tried to make ppl ashamed to even cite that trash.

The disappointing net result of this is there is now one less disabled MP on the equality committee that features many white Tories + Jess Phillips. There is probably tons much more pertinent dirt you could dig up on Phillip Davies*, about his unsuitability to be anywhere near an equality commission.

*xp'ed by xyzzzz on Davies!
