His mailbox is in Amsterdam, I know that much

Hahahaha I’ve been told about Armada stuff relating to my Swedish great-grandmother from Gothenburg (and assumed it was a coastal/port city thing).

quality diaspora member Johnny mc absolutely ecstatic that his boys smashed a team of tax dodgers

Congratulations to Liverpool FC and all the Liverpool fans who had the belief and tonight were the 12th man at Anfield. Don’t ever tell me miracles don’t happen. You’ll never walk alone. https://t.co/eeQ9hZrUR3

Anatolia rather than armada iirc

Let's face it, you're Welsh really.

my ppl are furthest west so we're probably less mixed than most from our original prototurk forefathers

there was a bit of ankara management going on.

OH SHIT.

Seen this multiple times now. Once could have been an overenthusiastic activist. Twice though... looks like CUKTIG actually using Comic Sans on official party materials. pic.twitter.com/SQormPFeUc

I regret to inform you that stephen daisley has written an article calling ROOF “mummy”

In the hall, they gurgled with delight just to have her back. Mummy’s home.

May spokesperson says she will not quit until Brexit Phase 1 is delivered. I can see that going well at 1922.

"What if Brexit doesn't pass? Will you stay forever?"
"I have been clear we want to pass the withdrawal agreemen---"

But in remarks that suggest she still wants to achieve a Brexit deal before quitting, May said: “I actually think that when we look at the Liverpool win over Barcelona last night, what it shows is that when everyone says it’s all over, that your European opposition have got you beat, the clock is ticking down, it’s time to concede defeat, actually we can still secure success if everyone comes together.”

*throws computer through the window*

in the thread, they gurgled with delight

New passports rushed out to Divock Origi and Georginio Wijnaldum.

It is a good metaphor as it suggests the deal she has on the table is terrible and a defeat for the UK and needs some kind of last-ditch miracle to put right, which I am sure is exactly the message she wants to be sending.

Obvious conclusion - put a German with fluorescent teeth in charge of the country.

Ah yes the Tories, famous for their admiration of the solidarity of the people of *checks notes* Liverpool?!

britain is man united.

meanwhile joanna cherry has gone full TERF the past couple of weeks

QC twitter is the worst twitter

For the life of me I will never understand TERFs. I’m on a closed FB group for freelance journos and every so often someone will pop up all like ‘a group of WOMEN are facing discrimination, anyone wanna help them by placing this story?’ and I just think ‘fuck you and your rhetoric’.

Mainstream British female journalists are full terf, I would be more surprised if a closed group of women journalists was any exception to that.

Another fine pair of fellas (this was in Corbyn’s likes, lol)

One of the best perks I have ever had by going on Marr (apart from meeting Andrew of course) has been meeting Adrian Dunbar. A brilliant actor and caring, thoughtful person. Though I couldn’t get who is H out of him! pic.twitter.com/MQABztZ9Xq

I can still picture Dunbar looking quite youthful in 90's stuff like The Crying Game and it oddly doesn't seem that long ago #livingtoolate/oldbastard

Back in the early ‘90s when I was supplementing my freelance income by working for a market research company (my manager was a guy who’d been a tour tech for Sonic Youth), I had an assignment to recruit ‘style leaders’ for an alcopop focus group so into Camden’s pubs I went. At the Enterprise I got chatting to an actor type who turned out to be Adrian Dunbar, who not only did the survey questionnaire but went around the pub hassling other likely-looking punters on my behalf. Top dude!

This is good.

This is significant. No matter what else may happen as a result of #Brexit, Irish and British citizens will still be able to live, travel work, study and access healthcare, housing and welfare in each other’s countries as though we were citizens of both https://t.co/NVlAjMeYmi

no not having it

Even an Arsenal fan can appreciate the astonishing performances by @LFC and @SpursOfficial over the last two nights. Two underdogs defying the odds to set up an all English Champions League Final. Congratulations and good luck to both teams in the final. #AJATOT

Yet more evidence that Corbyn is anti-Europe

Happy clapper bastard

This is more difficult: but as an Arsenal fan, I have to accept that was also incredible by Spurs! https://t.co/U6GJun61cj

Spurs and Arsenal are basically the same, it's fine

Esther McVey isn't going to win the premiership.

Johnny Mercer tells @LBC he has yet to receive a response from the Prime Minister after he said he would not vote with the Government over the historical prosecution of servicemen and women.

cmon Johnny! acc-en-chu-ate the positive!

pls can the next thread be called "Who wants to live in a country stuck in this endless loop?"

Really glad this is Corbyn’s shadow defence secretary.

Glad to hear this from the new Defence Sec.

The Tories made a commitment to deal with this back in 2017 and it‘s shameful that no action has been taken.

Labour will support any proposals that are effective and fair and I look forward to working with @PennyMordaunt on this. https://t.co/2dn2pBDzbr

Glad to see there's gonna be a statute of limitations on murder and/or war crimes

they’re not war crimes if Our Brave Boys say they aren’t

I thought they'd at least wait for the next election campaign before they turned into New Labour in disguise.

CHUK are right, we do need a new way of doing politics in this country. Getting rid of about 90 odd % of the current parliament would be a good start.

getting rid of about 90 odd % of the current population would be a better start

take that thanos you fucking coward

I suppose they do have to pick an arsehole for shadow defence, someone with a disposition for brown-nosing the our boys. Or you get gammons saying the iranian pillocks are waiting to nuke us the sec Corbz gets elected. But repping for freedom to commit atrocities makes them as morally redundant as the fucking tories and they can get fucked.

fuck's sake

Idgi surely staining the reputation of the British army is the worst thing you can do, these people should be in favour of bringing back the death penalty just for soldiers who recreationally murder civilians and surrendering enemy combatants

QC twitter having a banner day again

Tweet says don’t scapegoat and then entirely blames groups for particular things.

Low wages aren’t caused entirely by bad employers - it’s more complex

Similarly financial crisis and bankers.

Just because they share blame doesn’t mean they should be lumped with all of it

— Adam Wagner (@AdamWagner1) May 10, 2019

absolute state of that nia griffiths tweet

that old chestnut "more complex" eh? If someone smacked that fool in the head with a hammer it might be a good demonstration of how some bad things have very simple and blindingly obvious causes that are not all "complex".

QC Twitter = a good reminder of why a murderous dictatorship of the proletariat might be a net positive for humanity.
