one out all out: a brexit from the modern world and every one of its problems please (we're all gonna die lol)

Caroline Lucas is correct to look at him that way. Only one of those two has ever been elected as an MP, and yet he gets all the coverage. And of course all the other reasons...

Corbyn’s two brothers were both communists, he was the moderate who joined Labour, lol.

some of the ageing 70's Communist Party of Britain members have not matured like a fine wine on the evidence of Piers' barmy as fuck #Alarmists are mentally defective liars#EU-#4thReich hash tag frenzies on twitter.

Some of my Uncles and mum's friends were members in the 70's and must been on the subversives watchlist or something because I can remember a drug bust at my house when i was a kid, cause silly fucking uncle had posted some weed to my mum wrapped in a magazine.

It’s really easy to advocate for open borders and a swelling population in England when you’re on your arse at home in North London all day. The open borders people should be asked to take the appallingly crowded Victoria Line into Central London every morning for a week. pic.twitter.com/eY2vNJ9La7

Love too see the dog whistle employed here as well as the Asian person nearest the camera.

the Goldsmith sibling who cares a lot about the environment is still as big a fascist as his bro.

jesus christ

that line is crowded because there are a lot of people there going to their jobs. only way to make it less crowded is either have greater public transport capacity or fewer jobs in central london. nothing to do with immigration or total population size at all

Of course it's busy it's BLOODY EUSTON AT 9.01

zackly

yeah it could be a rush hour pic of the metro/underground in any major city of the world really.

I see he's followed up that tweet with a predictable "I'm not a not a racist but SENSIBLE DISCUSSION ON NUMBERS" racist tweet

so he’s advocating for - what would you call it exactly - living space?

If you’re independently wealthy, maybe don’t further crowd the tube during rush hour and stay out of the way of people who need to work for a living? Just a thought.

it's wankers like him that give Liebfraumilch a bad name!

Willing to guess it's the first time he's been on the Tube in years.

I was in a lift with P@ul M@son at work today and I don’t think any impromptu quasi-celebrity sighting could cause me more instant joy.

did he get out on a floor marked Serious Left-Wing Capitalism Dept?

Any big city with people working standard hours in the centre and living in the suburbs has the same problem, if he thinks London is bad he should try commuting in Beijing. Cannot fathom how someone apparently paid to think about things could think this is anything other than a problem with town planning and working culture, except racism obviously.

That tweet has sadly been deleted.

Both Goldsmiths care about the environment iirc, it's sadly not any guide as to who you'd like to see populating it.

I also like how someone so wealthy is talking about people in North London “on their arse at home all day”. It’s the two Spider-Man memes.

He’s deleted both his tweets now.

xp there’s a fairly well known correlation between environmentalism and white nationalism. You can see it to varying degrees in the mainstream, like with people noisily worrying about the population of various African countries as though they contributed anything to world emissions. Not suggesting he’s one of these but it can be seen in a pretty diluted form often enough.

did he get out on a floor marked Serious Left-Wing Capitalism Dept?

He was talking to someone about how to make the idea of postcapitalism more accessible to normal people so that’s something to look forward to.

And obviously there’s Morrissey and his concern over animal welfare while embracing politics that pose an active and violent threat to British poc and immigrants.

xp Shari, come to postcapitalism

Sure fire way of spotting Tories/crypto-racists/non-voters is *environmental concerns* on social media, but no other concerns.

And obviously there’s Morrissey and his concern over animal welfare while embracing politics that pose an active and violent threat to British poc and immigrants.

Also Brigitte Bardot iirc

and them other people that favoured animal welfare over minorities + disabled people.

Technical name for that is 'The English', I think.

Morrissey and his concern for animal welfare, and his support for political parties that want to bring back foxhunting and so on..

I was in a lift with P@ul M@son at work today and I don’t think any impromptu quasi-celebrity sighting could cause me more instant joy.

I was on a train with Magid Magid last week and had a similar response.

The week before that I was on a train with Chris Williamson and I did not have a similar response.

Mason has been awful for the last couple of years.

“It’s just consternation, confusion…. we get all British TV, we get all British media, so we know Britain way more than Britain knows Ireland. It’s like a valve that flows in one direction.” @andrewismaxwell on Irish knowledge of #Brexit #politicslive https://t.co/32y2XeRbQ7 pic.twitter.com/oZLpYLtUSF

I enjoyed this weekend bbc politics bit with Andrew Maxwell, also his reaction to Brendan O’Neill saying he’s of “Irish peasant stock” is pretty priceless (0:58 in this clip

“I don’t like this idea that the Irish are super fans of the EU… every time the Irish have been asked to vote on the expansion of the EU, they said: No thanks.” Brendan O’Neill of @spikedonline who hails from Irish ‘peasant stock’#Brexit #politicslive https://t.co/32y2XeRbQ7 pic.twitter.com/fSJ5rNP5JB

hey if you go far back enough we're all from peasant stock

this white upper-middle class Londoner doesn't half talk some fucking shite!

the bit about "my entire Irish family are anti-EU" was more gtfo

sounds like a very representative and wide ranging sample group tbf

In a similar vein, millionaire ex-investment banker Ian Blackford described himself as "a simple crofter" in the House last week.

lol!

O'Neill has described himself as "an atheistic libertarian". He is opposed to the legalization of same-sex marriage in Australia, arguing that it has been "attended by authoritarianism wherever it’s been introduced"[7] and criticised opposition to Pope Benedict XVI's visit to the United Kingdom as intolerant and fearmongering.[8]

Views very much in tune with modern Ireland there.

I was on a train with Magid Magid last week

maxwell has less of an irish accent than that on irish tv but hes broadly useful there

You sure? He sounds much like himself on The Panel but a bit older/croaky. He does look more like Haughey now too lol

Mason has been awful for the last couple of years.

if only stoya had gone to athens

Listening to this I assumed his "peasant stock" ancestors migrated to England in the 1820s. His parents left Ireland in *1968* almost a century after the Land War. Interesting to hear him talk about Connaught and its people like a bitter absentee landlord though. https://t.co/IOLvyGdeeu

maybe hes just hungover. lol at haughey tho

listen, tbfttptc in that clip, Stephen mangan went on a "who do you think you are" style walk across ballycroy to belmullet with cameras a year or three back and stopped at a fifties cowshed (and a badly kept one) and wistfully said "to think my mother was raised in a bothy very much like this" and i just couldn't believe he was such a gullible mug so maybe its a thing where irish expat mammies just bullshit their posh sons idk

A senior EU official tells @rtenews tonight there will be "no breakthrough" on the backstop this week. This is not just because the UK cabinet is divided over whether there should be a NI-specific backstop as a final safety net, or because of the termination clause...

— Tony Connelly (@tconnellyRTE) November 5, 2018

tony a straight bat on brexit for rte i think

i mean...this backstop agreement is just another shell of "can we not and say we did" but im presuming its being sold as otherwise on yere side?

I don't really get the impression that anyone's bothering to sell anything on this side TBH, it's not like there's a raging public debate about any of it more nuanced than "BREXIT BAD STOP IT NEW VOTE" vs "REMOANER ELITES DISREGARDING THE SEVENTEEN MILLION".

SEVENTEEN POINT FOUR, TIM

I was wondering if Maxwell was ah pre-hungover in that clip.

i for one refuse to believe that Brendan would just bare-faced lie on national TV

lying on tv is illegal iirc
