As much as I agree with criticising Theresa May, mocking her for crying is something I won't do, and I don't think you should either. It's important that we don't lose our own humanity when we something something hahahaha fuck off.

I don't approve of the way the alien ripped the crew of the Nostromo to shreds but the heartrending squeals as it was ejected from the airlock were genuinely moving

so he doesn't just pump iron these days:p

I'm repetitious on this, but fucking "honourable in her intentions" about May should only be used with the rejoinder: to increase child poverty, or kill disabled people, by members of the Labour Party - who are supposed to be opposed to this type of thing.

Hard to acknowledge somebody increasing child poverty when you've spent decades claiming to have eradicated it

Let posterity note that baggymp celebrated the downfall of Theresa May by listening to Gangsta's Paradise, Bring Da Ruckus by the Wu-Tang and four tracks off the new Tyler The Creator album.

enjoyed jon lansman calling bojo a "dodgy piece of shit"

This video deserves the widest possible audience. It makes it crystal clear to any viewer that this man is an incompetent, arrogant, lazy, nasty, dodgy piece of shit, not fit to be PM & I’m being politer than he deserves https://t.co/pIuvZF3gN5

PM has become so dull with Evan Davis I've stopped listening to it. BBC should have given Mair a payrise or whatever contract he wanted to stay there, the fucking idiots.

apparently Galloway and Bannon have got real chemistry in the Blues Brothers remake.

Oh jesus

You sure that's not Van Morrison?

at Big Weekend Stormzy just got around the live swearing issue in Vossi Bop by stepping back and letting the crowd sing the "fuck Boris" line

they appointed simon armitage too hastily didn't they

Love how this cunt has been so relentlessly rationed:

Come on, Twitter, grow up. May is childless and an orphan, and has the whole country ridiculing her as a failure or actively spewing bile at her. She's now going to be an extremely lonely person in horrid conditions. Have a heart.

I was an immig lawyer during the entire time @theresa_may was Home Secretary. Here are a random selection of tears:-

Seriously would urinate a nice stripe down May's grave (after mysterious ice spear of urine death lol).

Can't really blame Rory Stewart for not recognising Simon Hedges as a comedy account due to him never being under any circumstances funny.

you are wrong and you are a grotesquely ugly freak.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Josie Long did a good appreciation of Hedges where she talked about the feeling of seeing the stupidest tweet, noticing one person you follow liked it, and how it's always Hedges. I admire the determination to keep in character.

Yeah Hedges isn't often that funny in his tweets (again that tweet wasn't meant to be funny, only became so because Stewart retweeted - it's what happens when someone who doesn't know about online wants to now navigate and use it cynically for his own ends) but it's his likes and actually if you look at his follow list it's a fucking hilarious collection of people/orgs.

I saw someone was doing T-shirts of the classic Hedges follow, and I have to admire that sort of incredibly niche targeting

Yes and to add to what comrade alphabet says, there’s a lot of effort gone into to interacting with the kind of accounts and brands etc that he would like if he was real. He got blocked by Hugo Rifkind by tagging him into some banal beer banter, and that was funnier than the actual tweet about him.

not being funny is my comedy - so he often makes me laugh.

Funnier than Josie Long, but who isn't?

Well I hope this has been educational for Andrew. A lot to take in here.

Hedges is funny

It’s straightforward parody, very well done, of a quite specific type of poster

it's what happens when someone who doesn't know about online wants to now navigate and use it cynically for his own ends

Wait hold on, it's not Rory Stewart that's being cynical in this exchange!

What planet do you live on

Rory Stewart doesn't know the meaning of the word.

Come on he knows his way around Latin!

Cynicism is an infinitely more accurate description of careerist bellends like Stewart than an open-hearted liberal like Hedges who merely wants to add to the gaiety of the internet

how many times have i read this exact same article? it's unreal!!

One member I met in Bristol broke down in tears as he told me that after 44 years of voting Labour he was going to vote Lib Dem for the first time.

You voted for Blair and Brown, voting Lib Dem must've been a doddle
