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?!

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

QC twitter is the worst twitter

||||||||, Wednesday, 8 May 2019 15:19 (seven years ago)

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’.

suzy, Wednesday, 8 May 2019 15:45 (seven years ago)

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

calzino, Wednesday, 8 May 2019 19:14 (seven years ago)

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!

suzy, Wednesday, 8 May 2019 19:31 (seven years ago)

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

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

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.

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

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".

thanks hostile-environment policy, very cool!

At least five people have been killed in Jamaica since March last year after being deported from the UK by the Home Office, the Guardian has learned.

The killings took place after the men were sent back to Jamaica – which has one of the highest per capita murder rates in the world – despite strict rules prohibiting deportations to countries in which an individual’s life may be in danger.

The government does not routinely monitor what happens to people who have been deported. But through interviews and archive research, the Guardian has verified the deaths of the five men and been told by other returnees that they fear for their lives.

They should have listened to the standard home office advice to disguise their accents.

but n/w it's not like the UK commits violence against its citizens in the same manner the evil CCP does.

calzino, Friday, 10 May 2019 10:00 (seven years ago)

who needs gulags when you can just ship people who can't provide 10,000 pages of documentation to prove their citizenships off to other countries to be murdered

michael keaton IS jim thirlwell IN ‘foetaljuice’ (bizarro gazzara), Friday, 10 May 2019 10:03 (seven years ago)

I said this the other day: much better odds of surviving Xi's gulags than UK's hostile environment.

The government is perfectly happy to deport people to active war zones, idk if Jamaica is going to present any qualms.

ShariVari, Friday, 10 May 2019 10:27 (seven years ago)

Just a friendly reminder that China routinely deports North Korean defectors back to their 'home' country. And no, I'm not defending the UK's hostile environment policy, which is no doubt about to get worse in the wake of Brexit.

pomenitul, Friday, 10 May 2019 10:31 (seven years ago)

Yeah, it's bad form to minimize the suffering of others in order to make your political opponents seem as evil as possible.

Frederik B, Friday, 10 May 2019 10:40 (seven years ago)

Still relevant:

However, the approach that has led to such problems for the Windrush generation – the policy often described as the "hostile environment" – still has overwhelming public support. In principle, seven in ten (71%) support a policy of requiring people to show documents proving their right to be in Britain in order to do things such as taking up employment, renting a flat, or opening a bank account. Just 15% oppose this. Asked about specific situations, 82% think people should have to prove their right to be in the UK before accepting a job, 79% before registering with a GP and 74% before renting a home.

I listened to Jeremy Cunt on hardtalk the other week. His braindead spiel was that the great western democracies inhabit some moral high ground over the rest of uncivilisation, who all need to learn to respect US power and then everything will be alright.
