"oh you don't get me I'm the end of the union": lol brexit is how we're all gonna die

Yeah, don’t get why OJ would be pretending a person with these views getting egged is bad.

Following the Admiral Duncan pub bombing by former BNP member David Copeland, Griffin stated "The TV footage of dozens of 'gay' demonstrators flaunting their perversion in front of the world's journalists showed just why so many ordinary people find these creatures so repulsive."[109] The BNP states that, privately, homosexuality should be tolerated, but that it "should not be promoted or encouraged".[110] It opposed the introduction of civil partnerships and wishes to ban what it perceives as the promotion of homosexuality in schools and the media.

Also don’t get why exactly an old OJ tweet is relevant to Corbyn being assaulted? Unless you want to argue that assaults on the leader of the opposition, who is in favour of democracy and who notably does not advocate for ethnic cleansing, are to be considered the same as a fascist who’d ethnically cleanse the country of BAME people and other “undesirables”.

we can celebrate a new twitter golden age when adversaries C Williamson + Rachel Riley both simultaneously retweet the same holocaust denier/neo-nazi cos they agreed with them. or maybe not.

I am (no snark!) clearly not communicating very well today. I do know who Nick Griffin is, of course - he is indeed a Nazi.

But I don't think there's anything in Rachel Riley's tweet to suggest she's equating the two - she's just making a dumb connection between "Owen Jones doesn't like someone getting egged" and "Owen Jones didn't mind someone else getting egged".

quote tweeting “if you don’t want to get egged don’t be a nazi” with a smug “good advice” is clearly drawing equivalencies and suggesting she’s highlighting (non-existent) hipocrisy is just retconning.

anyway I thought nazis getting punched in the head was supposed to be followed by days of liberal handwringing ?!

Hot centrist take 2.

Whoever threw an egg at an unnamed MP for Islington North, DM me & I’ll buy you a full English. 💋

I kind of feel sorry for Barber as it seems pretty clear she is unwell or *makes drinking motion with hand* ‘unwell’.

did you just call frances barber a nazi

Imagine your opinions being so bad that you’re on the wrong side of the debate as Piers Morgan.

I’ve seen some disturbed types trying to gotcha Ash Sarkar after she tweeted about Richard Spencer being punches as well. Makes u think.

*wrong side of debate and Piers Morgan isn’t

This clearly fucked my brain when I tried writing it

as did this

(autocorrect I'm sure, I'm just being cheeky)

( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

she is clearly calling him a nazi. it takes a very creative reading to think otherwise.

i have never heard of her before though

Fucking hell all this shit is so inane.

i thought they stopped making countdown when carol vorderman died

It's like some particularly fractious and hysterical ILE thread from 2003 except it's playing out right across the public realm including people who should know better and it never ends.

get used to it

today is pushing me hard to a quitting twitter position

I blame Twitter for forcing minor public figures to post on it

trouble is, everyone needs to quit

When the fun stops, stop

try telling that to anyone

I blame Twitter for forcing minor public figures to post on it

Unconvinced imago qualifies as a minor public figure tbh.

remember when cat deeley called for hazel blears to be beheaded on smtv?

Whenever I detest my life I ponder how much worse it would be if I had a Twitter account.

Xp

that was in the context of Wonky Donkey tbf

The two are obviously connected but it doesn’t help that the traditional media is getting so much worse at a time when Twitter is accelerating how awful everything else is. There is nowhere to go.

That's it, in a nutshell. They're not just connected, media and twitter have blended together in the worst possible way.

We're trapped in the belly of a horrible machine and the machine is bleeding to death.

twitter is often the only place to get an accurate position on the facts, receipts and links to half decent analyses

it is still bad not good tho

Sometimes I wonder what would have happened had social media not become huge at the exact moment the global economy started to collapse. I'm guessing pretty much the same thing but the stakes wouldn't have appeared quite so high.

In lesser news Milkshake Dank did get his BBC Scotland 'input' nixed. The social medias giveth and taketh away.

Fucking hell all this shit is so inane.

New board description?

ILX ahead of the curve again!

Quit twitter and you miss posts like this:

So sad about Keith Flint. I gave birth to my eldest son accompanied by 'firestarter' playing away because my husband had in a mad panic, picked up the wrong tape. And instead of giving birth to Enya and ocean sounds it was The Prodigy. I don't regret it either.

Your choice

can ye "get" rte over there

promising looking doc on the border history and the buildup to brexit

at this juncture The Angelus with bells solemnly ringing, alongside an accompanying animation of Cyril Smith wanking off Jesus would be more welcome than yet more of this narcolepsy inducing brexit content you speak of!

ah twas ok now. lots of worried farmers and fishermen who excoriated the dup and may but also admitted theyd voted leave it put me in a better mood to remember that sure everyone is a cunt rly and the oncoming apocalypse probably could do with speeding up actually

UK worried farmers talking about how fast it takes for their own business model/the UK supply food chain to collapse in a no-deal scenario has been going into overdrive recently and I have a much higher sympathy rating for them than these fishing ppl, who seemed to think brexit was going be cod war 2 for them or something, but no. they got stitched up like.... They are all a set of complete cunts, but the farmers are way more important to staving off a famine imo.

Don't trust farmers as far as I could throw them, Tory bastards the lot of them.

hmmm

the fishing community ambivalence to the european project goes back quite a ways, to CAP- where uk and ireland fishing rights and quota tonnage were traded for the benefit of payouts to farmers. the move utterly devastated fishing commmunities over the next two decades so its probably impossible to take that out of consideration.

and yeah look farmers are just killers waiting for the excuse, theyre a different type imo.

yeah but how actually big are these fishing communities? In comparison to the damage done everywhere else or the cast of Geordie Shore even.

Not as big as they used to, let's put it that way.

small boats wouldve been a major contributor to every size of town and village along the entire coast, and more than a few decent sized towns relied heavily on that trade

cant earn a living at it now on that scale, and the quota mainly all gone to corporate trawlers

its more that its been a betrayal held bitterly close for decades at this stage, rather than anything you could even defend rationally. but if you were writing a bad article on it youd maybe finish on a line as trite as "for the small fisherman of the north ...their brexit came long ago"

anyways i still lolled at yermans admission that hed voted for it and him probably fishing half the time in eu waters....good luck with how that goes, buck

let's send john harris to fraserburgh to sort it out

Sending anyone to Fraserburgh is an act of unconscionable cruelty.

well it's not anyone, it's john harris

the English fishermen definitely seemed like the biggest set of cunts in the two recent scallop wars in French waters. Just football hooligans in boats basically, which is partly why I'm glad the mostly heinous bunch of seafaring arseholes got completely stitched up by the brexit campaign.
