i blame the beatles

I blame Catholicism for sheer numbers

Indeed, I was thinking I didn't know Sinn Fein had so many councillors.

Nah you’d be thinking of Seán and Pól and Prionsias.

seán pól, the finest dancehall artist ballymoney has ever produced imo

Not to mention The Artist Formerly Known As Prionsias.

Wasn't there some study about how having a banal-sounding name greatly improves your chances of succeeding at life (whatever that means)? Unless you're the son or daughter of a Hollywood star, of course.

its just the name you give them when theyre paying u to fuck them

did someone say banal first name + hollywood

I’m greatly enjoying the landlords-getting-a-pasting discourse recently, let’s pour one out for the rentier class. Daphne and Celeste style.

I regret to inform you that ChUk have registered for the EU elections, but it’s not all good news:

Re: whoever mentioned Sarg0n running as a real candidate:

New story with @alexwickham:

YouTuber Sargon of Akkad is using a Discord server to recruit supporters for his European election campaign for UKIP.

It's FULL of the most extreme white supremacism, antisemitism and discussion about murdering politicians.https://t.co/oKeQLWvnGm

Wait, he really goes by the name 'Sargon of Akkad'? Is existence a first-person RPG set in ancient Mesopotamia?

Re: whoever mentioned Sarg0n running as a real candidate:

Sorry yeah, I should have linked the article - it's one of those things where if you know who Sargon of Akkad is, none of the rest of that is a surprise, the surprise is just "UKIP have fully gone for it"

You didn’t leave anything out, I just was too tired to scroll back up and read your post again, lol

iirc he got his patreon stopped because he uses the n word on his podcast or something?

is that supposed to be Amber Rudd's leadership bid? "bunch of fucking idiots these foodbank users, some of them would be £3.42 richer per week if they studied the intricacies of Universal Credit like I have".

it's as easy as opening an account at LK Bennet

You see, that word is only racist when it's used in America. It's quite obvious that Patreon has no respect for British culture. Thankfully, the learnèd Canadian scholar Jordan Peterson pulled out of the platform in a show of solidarity. Nothing spells intellectual integrity quite like relinquishing one's side income for the n word's sake.

Here's a much better plan, scrapping Brexit for 7 and 11 year olds. And all other ages.

long shot of Jonathan Pie lugging a camera and tripod out to the middle of a park, setting up, checking angles angle, hitting play then running back around to the front of the camera, then slipping and falling in some dogshit.

erg took a bit of a kicking after accusing us senator delegation of being complicit in a concocted border conspiracy

Critical support for Nancy Pelosi (!)

Ms Pelosi said she and her fellow delegates made it clear in all their meetings in London that there would be “no chance whatsoever” of a US-UK trade deal if Brexit weakened the 1998 Belfast Agreement.

hedges killing it

The irony is Andrew, if the ungrateful people of the northern provinces had not done brexit, we would currently be building them High Speeds 3 to 11 paid for by the £billions of taxes raised by hard working London remainers.

You what?

— Andrew Adonis (@Andrew_Adonis) April 17, 2019

I’m fascinated about the order of these meetings. There’s Gapes/Leslie/Austin, Corbyn, ERG? Like imagine if the ERG was the last group you met.

xp why is Adonis responding to a two month old tweet? Even if it is from the saviour of centrist politics in this country?

lmao I didn’t even clock the date. adonis’ heads gone

Everything about Adonis makes sense now someone has pointed out he was the inspiration for Julius Nicholson. I imagine him rolling the R every single time he says "Brexit".

He’s actually worse than Julius Nicholson. Julius would never have referred to HS2 as his son!

Meanwhile, lol at this (and the article saying what several of us have been saying for ages):

One one occasion, Lavery responded angrily to a warning from Abbott that Labour should not give ground to arguments against migration, accusing her of calling him “gammon” – the derisive phrase used by lefty activists to describe middle-aged white men with reactionary views.

from: https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2019/apr/17/why-labours-leader-has-to-perform-a-brexit-balancing-act

Labour’s cadre of bright young advisers immediately grasped the significance of the moment and at one conference party they launched into a refrain of “All options on the ta-ble”, to the tune of the White Stripes’ Seven Nation Army, to which a year earlier at Glastonbury the crowd had roared “Oh Jeremy Corbyn”.

What the hell is wrong with these people?

some great scaremongering about agent milne in that

Stephen Kinnock, who has worked with Powell’s common market group, said: “We could potentially be tipping over into a culture war.”

finger on the pulse, potentially

We should only ever refer to the eminence gris as “Mr Seumas Milne” in proper Gapes red-bashing style.

i feel like the clown has even gone quiet on that front in the last 12 months, like even his xenophobia was subject to whatever personal political gain he thought he could make with it that week

i'm sure he's still xenophobic on the quiet except possibly re: Danes

smart branding how his Twitter handle always makes me think of Superintendent Chalmers shouting "SKINNOCK!!" tho

i'm sure he's still xenophobic on the quiet except possibly re: Danes

does every man grow to hate his wife

xp maybe his star turn in Labour: The Summer that Changed Everything shamed him into silence? Oh no, wait, didn’t he do that hunger strike for electoral reform?

oh you were applying the 'except' to the 'xenophobic', not the 'on the quiet' xp

does every man grow to hate his wife

Or Fred?

yeah i got no opinion on the state of Skinnock's marriage and wouldn't wish even his to be unhappy

Embryonic leadership pitch by Stephen Kinnock: "The British people care about 4 things. They care about work, family, community and country.

why are you doing this... at any time

it has almost been worth having almost 10 years of tories just to see worthless, greasy, Blue Labour teflon slime like Cooper + Kinnock + friends being marginalised in the party, and things just not going how they arrogantly expected them to back in '15

well if they'd been in power it would've been barely distinguishable from the coalition or the Tories so yes, very much so

Kinnock's wife is the one who was presenting like a baboon at Mandela's funeral, yes?

maybe her focus groups said a selfie next to a festering stiff would give her an extra 2.7% approval rating!

xp bit misodge that post, if I'm honest. Desire to clown on Kinnock overrode better judgement

can't fully remember the story, but could her imagine her taking a selfie with a cadaver for some reason!
